Module Assets

Modules are linked to your Starship and offer additional options and advantages when aboard that vehicle.

These assets are earned and managed by a single character. They can be shared with allies, but only if it’s practical for them to make use of it (not everyone may know how to use a research lab).

When you Withstand Damage and score a miss, you can mark a module as broken to offset further danger for your Starship. A broken module cannot be used until you successfully Repair it.

Engine Upgrade

Your vehicle’s finely-tuned engines speed your travels.

Abilities:

When you Undertake an Expedition (+edge) and score a strong hit, take +1 momentum; on a strong hit with a 6 on your action die, take +2 momentum instead of +1.
When you Enter the Fray, choose one (before rolling): maneuver (add +1 and take +1 momentum on a strong hit) or boost (take +2 momentum on a hit).
When you make a desperate move to pursue a foe, escape a threat, or get in range, you may push your engines to their limit. If you do (decide after rolling), reroll any dice and count a weak hit as a strong hit. Then, Withstand Damage (-2).

Expanded Hold

Cargo, max 3

When you make a move to outrun a threat and have at least 1 cargo, you may first lighten your load by dropping cargo. If you do, suffer -cargo by the amount dropped, add +that amount, and take +2 momentum on a hit.
