Piloting Notes[]

To easily re-stat ships with your characters at the controls, subtract the Crew modifiers from all relevant entries, and add in your own relevant figures.

  • Untrained: BAB -5, Check Mod +0, CL -1
  • Normal: BAB +0, Check Mod +5, CL +0
  • Skilled: BAB +2, Check Mod +6, CL +1
  • Expert: BAB +5, Check Mod +8, Cl +2
  • Ace: BAB +10, Check Mod +12, CL +4

All Skills need to be replaced with the skill mod of the character handling the relevant skill. Initiative needs to be replaced with the Initiative or Pilot modifier of the Pilot, whichever is higher. Attack bonii need to have your BAB placed at the helm.

The MandalMotors Nexu is named after the fearsome feline predators of Cholganna. A long, narrow fighter craft, it is in many respects a successor to the aging Syck design, and it is a worthy successor, packing a lot of equipment into a small frame which costs comparatively more. The E-1A is the base model; it comes with two unused Emplacement Slots for installing aftermarket add-ons, and it's rather weighty cargo compartment (For a Starfighter) can be easily reduced for additional space.

The MandalMotors M3-K Syck is the final word in the M3 Syck series. Fed up with trying to meet changing and growing demands using an aging, small and inexpensive frame that was designed for a time when the Empire reigned supreme and their influence was great enough to curtail the designs that MandalMotors could make, the -K Syck is the last drop of blood squeezed from the stone; the engineers managed to fit in a Class 2 Hyperdrive and an additional days' worth of consumables to the design. The -K was manufactured in sufficient quantity to fulfill all remaining Syck orders (even those for earlier models simply got upgraded at MandalMotors' expense,) and then the production line was torn down and re-tooled to produce the Nexu interceptor.

The Syck is a bad ship, although there are worse. The -K adds some moderate capabilities to the Syck - primarily it's hyperdrive and navicomputer. This allows the Syck to function as a cheap escort vehicle guarding slow bulk freighters - it's hyperdrive and navicomputer has at least sufficient power for that task. It's relatively simple to dock with the mother-ship for resupply and to allow the pilot some relief time. It's armor is paper-thin; thinner even than that of a TIE/ln fighter - though it does at least manage to mount a shield generator. It's twin blaster cannons are short-ranged compared to laser cannons, and, being at the edge of all possibility utility which one could squeeze from the design, it comes with no unused Emplacement Points.
