GENERATOR EFFECTS

Unless otherwise stated a Generator will activate

during the Consolidation Step of the Command

Unless it has a Continuous Effect, a Generator
may only be Activated once per Activation.
Generators with a Continuous Effect are
considered to be ALWAYS Active unless the
Model suffers the Generators Offline Critical
Effect or is in some other way disabled.
A Model CAN initiate an Aggressive Boarding
Action against a Model it has targeted with an
Offensive Generator in the current Activation,
unless otherwise specified.
A Model CAN use a Generator AND fire both
Ordnance and Auxiliary weapons in its current
Activation.
A Model CANNOT fire an Offensive Generator
against a SAS.
The Range in inches (Range ) of all Generators
is made from the Centre of the Model.
Models that are Prized, Salvaged, or left Derelict
CANNOT use Generators.

Generator Strikes
External Generators maybe targeted by Ordnance
Attacks. This must be declared in the Declare
Attacks Step of the Firing Segment. Indiscriminate
Weaponry, Tertiary Weaponry or Auxiliary
Weaponry may not be used.
All attacks suffer a -1 To Hit modifier for a Generator

do not roll the Critical Hit Table, instead apply 2 HP
loss and the Generators Offline result.
Convertible Generators operating Externally maybe
subjected to a Generator Strike.

STANDARD GENERATORS

Ice Points are used for:
Spend 1 Ice Point to place ONE Medium
Iceberg (2 by 1) Terrain Feature anywhere
within the Range listed in the bracket. The
Terrain Feature MUST be placed on the
Water Major Surface and no closer than 4 to

an enemy model. All Icebergs placed in this

manner are removed during the Persistent
Effects Step of the End Phase.
Spend 2 Ice Points to target an enemy model
within the Range listed in the brackets. Roll a
D6 and apply these Critical Hit effects 1-2 No

and Navigational Lock

If a squadron has enough Ice Points, they may do

either or both of the above effects multiple times.
Kinetic Generator
A Kinetic Generator is activated during the
Movement Declarations Step of a Models Activation.
Player rolls a D6 and adds number to the Minimum

A model using a Kinetic Generator increases its Turn
Limit by 1 during that Activation.
GNE Boost Generator (Range)
When this Generator is activated, it may target a
Squadron within Line of Sight that has the Surface
Skimmer Model Function and is Ready to Activate.

A Model may only benefit from ONE GNE boost per
Game Turn.

A Model with a Mimic Generator can select ANY
other Model within the Range listed in the brackets
and attempt to copy the abilities of ONE Generator on
that Model that is NOT Offiline.
A Model may not attempt to Mimic a Generator they
already possess.

The abilities of the Copied Generator CAN be used
by the Model with the Mimic Generator in the

The Targeted Model does NOT lose the use of the
Copied Generator.
