## Ships

### Donager
The Donager is BlackStar Expeditionary Cruiser.

#### Specs:
- **Class:** Expeditionary Cruiser
- **Armor Value:** 6
- **Hull Value:** 3

#### Armament
##### PDCs
Multiple point-defense cannons (PDCs) provide the Donager with moderate anti-missile defenses as well as close-range offensive capability.
- **Range:** 3km (6 tiles)
- **Damage:** 3 per battery
- **Rate of Fire:** 1
- **Batteries:** 4

**Linked Batteries:** Gunners are able to link the firing controls of multiple batteries when engaging a single target. Doing so gets +2 damage dice per additional battery but consumes the RoF for _all_ batteries used.

**Anti-missile Fire:** PDCs are able to defend against enemy missiles. Each battery can engage incoming missiles in it's firing arc. Each success destroys 1 incoming missile per battery used.

**Field of Fire:** The PDC batteries are arranged along the length of the ship. Each battery is able to engage a roughly 180-degree, allowing two batteries to simultaneously engage a single target at the top, bottom, left, or right or the ship. They have limited effectiveness directly fore and aft as individual turrets obstruct each other.

##### Heavy Missiles
Missiles is equipped with two heavy missile batteries. These provide the Donager with high-damage offensive capabilities but have have limited sustainability in long-term engagements. Additionally, do to the small maximum volley size, fired missiles are extremely vulnerable to defensive fire from PDCs.
- **Range:** 15km (30 tiles) per turn
- **Damage:** 7
- **Rate of Fire:** 1
- **Batteries:** 2
- **Capacity:** 8
- **Reserve Ammo:** None

##### Swarm Missiles
Swarm missiles provide the Donager with an effective attack against PDCs. While they do limited damage individually, their large volley size allows them to overwhelm enemy PDC coverage and land blows
- **Range:** 10km (20 tiles) per turn
- **Damage:** 1 per missile
- **Volley Size:** 12
- **Rate of Fire** 1
- **Capacity:** 6 Volleys

#### Current Status:
The Donager and her crew is currently at [Arcturis Station](#arcturis-research-facility), on a contracted mission to provide protection against pirates.

### Arcturis Research Facility

Recently, the station reported heavy pirate activity and contracted BlackStar for immediate protection and long-term defense construction.
