GODERAH

PATROL SHIP
CLASS III HEAVY ZALOSIAN GUNSHIP

Gunships tend to speak for themselves, and nothing says “You’re about to be
boarded” like a Zalosian patrol ship. This module includes everything you need
to use this ship concept in play, including descriptions, general stats, maps for
all three decks and a blueprint.

THE GODERAH
It is a common misconception that the fleet of the
Order of The Pariah consists solely of massive monastery
cruisers that look impressive and imposing on the Bulletin
news broadcasts, something that the Order doesn’t mind
as nothing solidifies the perception of their power like those
enduring relics from the portal wars. But those who have
actually been to Zalos or travelled the Miran Chain, they
know by their own eyes that the construction yards on
Karrmeruk still produce a whole array of vessels to this day.
When it comes to everyday interactions with free
traders and travellers heading to the City of Strangers or
otherwise crossing paths with the Order, quite often it is one
or several Goderah class ships that show up on the sensors.
Goderah is a versatile platform and can come in numerous
configurations. The roles they can serve are just as many,
or even more. Simply put, their general purpose is securing
Zalosian territory or interests, whatever those may be.
Intercepting, inspecting and limiting the movement of ships
that enter their area of operation. It is worth mentioning
that a handful of the Goderahs built have, by some
agreement or circumstance, found themselves in private
hands. To the disappointment of the many nosy factions
in the horizon, the antimatter drives installed within the
ship feature advanced security systems and do not even
appear to contain all the necessary puzzle pieces needed
to reverse engineer them. All efforts to do so has led to
underwhelming yet dangerous results.
hangar for shuttles or scout ships, a large service module
for extended patrols, as well as a decent cargo hold. Having
an atmosphere-capable shuttle onboard is not a bad idea
considering that the Goderah was built in space and never
designed to land anywhere. There are rumours however
of a modified version being used on Zalos-B, very similar
to the known Goderah but with a different undercarriage.
Commonly the undercarriage is what houses the launch
tubes for both the torpedoes and mines as well as the
auxiliary weapon hardpoint, but on this rumoured variant it
is said to be replaced by a different hull piece with vertical
landing thrusters and gear.

e SHIP PROBLEM
In order to safe-guard the technological secrets that make
antimatter propulsion possible, even the privately operated
Goderahs have an overzealous security subsystem built
in. This system runs underneath the regular ship systems
and is immediately triggered for 1 DP whenever someone
attempts to access anything relating to the antimatter
drive. Additionally, it is a very paranoid code and can be
triggered unexpectedly by tasks that don’t relate directly
to the antimatter technology, locking down doors and
systems left and right for 2-3 DP depending on the situation.
In order to satisfy or bypass the lockdown either a -3 roll on
CULTURE (to recite the correct Zalosian prophecy and prove
your faith in the Martyr) or DATADJINN -1 is required.
e ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
A class I scout, fighter or shuttle is almost always
present on a Goderah class ship, however antimatter
torpedoes and mines are heavily controlled and not
generally found on the privately operated ships, and not
even guaranteed to be on the ones run by The Order of the
Pariah.
e INTERIOR
As can be expected from a military ship, the interior
of the Goderah is sober and functional. The hard and
angular shapes of the exterior hull are echoed in the
internal structure of corridors and rooms. There are plenty
of duralite beams and hard edges to hurt yourself on and
metal floors with tactile honeycomb ridges that make loud
clanging noises when walked on with heavy boots. All of
this is lit by harsh white lights that, in case of emergency,
turn to a more dim orange color. The only real exception to
the hard aesthetic is the central chapel which has much
smoother and tastefully decorated ceramic surfaces and a
more pleasant illumination.
THE BRIDGE DECK: As the name suggest, the top-most
and by far smallest deck is where the bridge is located.
It consists of two sections; the main bridge which has a
higher ceilng and feels quite airy; and a more constricted
secondary chamber that houses additional crew stations
and some storage lockers. The latter serves as the access
point connecting to the central elevator.
THE MIDDLE DECK: At the heart of the entire ship is the elegant
chapel where a 3m high statue of the Martyr bathes in
artificial sunlight, surrounded by eight alcoves were the
words of different prophets can be softly projected on the
walls. When moving from the crew quarters in the fore to
the different facilities on this deck one is forced to pass
through the chapel, which from a Zalosian point of view
is only practical, as you’d want to stop and pray anyway.
To satisfy the need for solitude in what becomes a rather
busy part of the ship, a smaller side room has been added
opposite to the archive that stores relics, holy texts and
other important material.
THE LOWER DECK: This is the logistics deck, dominated in the
fore by the hangar and service module, and in the core by
modules that feed ammunition to the different weapon
systems. The hangar can opened to space on either
side and has its own dedicated airlock for access when
unpressurized. From the central elevator long corridors lead
aft past exo storage compartments to the docking stations.
Finally, deep inside the ship is the antimatter containment
module that connects internally to the power grid and the
twin antimatter rockets in the stern.
