Asteroid Rover 1624
Once belonged to an extra-solar object analyst who disappeared near Pluto Extra-Solar Observatory 5 years ago while surveying a newly discovered inter-system asteroid.
Soon after, the analyst was tried in absentia by The Greater European Union and was convicted of stealing top-secret discoveries found on the asteroid.
Recently, there have been rumours that his ME suit has been spotted near the asteroid belt. However, it was also rumoured that he disappeared after a brief moment from all sensors.
Propulsion
Teleport (Unique)
Unique to Asteroid Rover 1624
physical, movement, displacement
Description
Create a 2D virtual plane connecting two spaces for non-Newtonian motion. This technology has something clearly not human in it.
Effect
Completely exchange space (include terrain, if possible) with any marker token created by Identification Grid on the map.
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2 | Self |
Emergency Evasion
physical, movement, reactive
Description
By jerry-rigging high power thrusters to sensors, this suit can make sudden, unnatural movements in response to incoming danger. The G forces caused by the movement often cause injury to the pilot.
Effect
Reactive skill. Within its duration, activate when a collision happens with a large or small object.
When activated, move into a selected adjacent space. +1 speed towards the direction of the movement. +2G
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Self, for 1 turn |
Weapons & Armament
Coil Gun
physical, attack, kinetic kill
Description
Coil gun is a low-cost solution compared to a standard rail gun. It draws less power and produces less heat but in turn, has significantly lower power.
Effect
Penetrating, able to pass through small object unless otherwise stated. Unable to pass through large object
Release a projectile immediately onto a space next to the unit. Moves only during the next movement phase. The projectile contains the number of dice equivalent to the ARM of the ME Suits at the point of release.
Contact with small object instantly destroys the small object. Contact with large object initiates an ARM contest against MOV or TOR (chosen by the defender). Damage the target's durability by he amount the user win by. Damage -3.
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Sublight, Speed 3 |
Sensors
Multi-spectrum Sensor
digital, defence, detection
Description
Utilizing machine learning, sensor data from multiple spectrums can be combined to reveal objects normally not easily detectable.
Effect
Locate all hidden objects in range. Choose 1 of them to identify with a SEN contest .
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Space, Range 2 |
Identification Grid (Unique)
Unique to Asteroid Rover 1624
digital, defence, detection
Description
Expanding a wing-like array that allows for a local, sub-atomic scan, requires extreme computing power. While unable to identify anything on a macro level, it can gather the information seemingly necessary for the machine allowing instant teleportation.
Effect
Place a marker token on a space within range. There can be up to 3 marker tokens at once.
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Space, Range 5 |
Premonition Computation Array
digital, defence, detection
Description
Utilizing sophisticated computers to predict enemy actions and movements.
Effect
CPU contest. If successful, GM has to confirm a selected enemy unit’s first action next turn within range.
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Enemy, Range 5 |
Additional & auxiliary systems
Wire-guided Grappler
physical, attack, manipulator
Description
Launch a manipulator that can be retracted via a cable made with continuous carbon tubes.
Effect
Smart weapon, able to choose a specific target within range.
Interceptable, unable to interact when another object or terrain blocks its line of sight. Unable to interact with small objects.
Attach the target to the player. The attached target follows the player. Release has no cost.
When attached to a terrain, the user is pulled towards the terrain. When attached to a large object, the one with the lower MOV is pulled towards the other. The party moving +1G
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Sublight, Range 2 |
Hangars & docked vessels
Recon Drone
physical, misc, drone
Description
A small drone that is capable of only basic functions.
Effect
Places a Recon Drone on an adjacent spacee.
The drone can utilize one of the following basic actions per turn:
Accelerate
Improvise
Search
Destroyed upon any collision with small or large objects .
Only 1 drone can be deployed at a time by the player.
| G Force Cost | HEAT Cost | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Space |
