Just wanted to post a little note here in regards to SOPA. No, we’re not blacking out for the day. But if SOPA passes, we’ll likely be blacking out a lot longer than that. Saga-Edition.com already runs a very fine line on the fair use issue, and the people at Wizards of the Coast and Lucasfilm have both been alright by us so far. Obviously, if they had a problem with us, I’d shut the site down with my apologies.
However, if SOPA passes there isn’t any room any more for the hope that things can end civilly. It’s quite simply not worth the risk. Sites like Saga-Edition.com won’t ever happen, because no one is going to risk fines or jail time for a fan site. Not even I am that crazy.
So get in touch with your Senators and Representatives. Tell them to vote NO on SOPA.

It was an upgrade of the Interceptor-class frigate widely used by pirate forces.
With superior shielding and improved weaponry, as well as the “full salvo” missile capabilities that allowed the frigate to fire a barrage of missiles at its target, the Interceptor was a cheap, yet versatile, vessel. It also possessed powerful engines allowing it to reach extremely high sublight velocities for a vessel of its size. The ship’s weakness was its lightly armored hull.

These ships had the ability to cloak using technology Zann bought from the black market. However, due to a side effect of this addition, the ships possessed no shields. To make up for it, they were equipped with extremely thick armor for protection. Because of this extra protection, it dramatically affected its speed, making it very slow.
Also, these ships were equipped with mass drivers, so their weapons would entirely bypass an enemy’s ray shields and could overheat their cores to self-destruct if the situation called for it.

Vehicle Weapon
They inflicted damage by hurling projectiles at high velocities, which imparted kinetic energy and force to the target upon impact. Damage was thus a result of the mass of the projectile and its velocity.
The velocity the projectile could achieve is limited by the method by which it is initially propelled. For a chemical explosion (how a conventional slugthrower works), the peak velocity was ~1.8 km/s. For a plasma driven round from an electrothermal cannon (an electrical arc vaporizes the propellant into a plasma to create the requisite pressure to propel the slug), the peak was ~2.5 km/s. For a gauss/coil gun (where the mass is accelerated by passing through sequenced electromagnetic fields) the limit was ~2 km/s due to the rate at which the fields can be created and collapse. These speeds are extremely small in comparison to light speed
For a rail gun (where the slug is accelerated by Lorentz forces and electromagnetism between two parallel rails) there was no real limit (except the speed of light), only a practical one based on rail erosion and, when in atmosphere, ablation of the projectile. Typically this speed was 6 km/s.

The diamond boron missile was a weapon developed sometime during the Clone Wars, but only truly refined at the height of the Galactic Civil War. Diamond boron missiles were nearly impervious to starfighter-scale laser weapons and could be fired from most standard concussion missile launchers. They were equipped with powerful warheads capable of completely destroying everything within five-hundred meters from the point of detonation. Thus, the missile proved itself an effective weapon against fighters, since a single blast could easily take out several at a time.
Despite these advantages, the missile was prohibitively expensive, with each unit demanding an investment upwards of 20,000 credits. It therefore fell into disuse as newer and cheaper alternatives were developed.
Imperial Broadside-class cruisers were initially equipped with diamond boron missiles, as well as Marauder-class corvettes used by the Alliance. The freighter Suprosa used these missiles to destroy many Y-Wings piloted by Bothans. The Zann Consortium also often employed the missiles, which were fired from stationary space platforms.

Special: May be used in Heavy Concussion Missile Launchers only

Flowing Water [lightsaber form]
As your opponent withdraws his blade, you lunge. Time: Reaction. Target: You and one target that has just negated half or all of the damage from one of your lightsaber attacks, except with Negate Energy or Obscure.
Make a Use the Force check. The result of the check determines the result, if any.
DC 15: Make a single lightsaber attack against the target, who is flat-footed.
DC 20: As DC 15, but your target may not make any reactions to your attack.
DC 25: As DC 20, but your target moves -1 step along the condition track if hit.
Special (Juyo): If you have the Juyo talent, you may reroll your attack if it fails, keeping the second result. This effect stacks iwth the normal use of the Juyo talent.

Falling Leaf [lightsaber form]
Spinning your feet, you slash from the sky to cut down a reckless foe. Time: Reaction. Target: You and one target that has just moved into your threatened area, even by a charge.
Make a Use the Force check. The result of the check determines the result, if any.
DC 15: Make a single lightsaber attack against the target. This counts as an Attack of Opportunity.
DC 20: As DC 15, but your target his also considered flat-footed for the duration of the attack.
DC 25: As DC 20, but your attack also deals +2 dice of damage.
Special (Ataru): If you have the Ataru talent, using the Force power does not count towards your limit of Attacks of Opportunity this round. Additionally, you may spend a Force point to activate battlestrike immediately as a free action.
