GAME NOTES
SHOCK NETS: The Chiss, lacking ion weapons technology, instead developed shock nets. These are launched by missile at a target, then unfurl in a net-shaped swathe of highly charged gassamer material. When it hits a ship it discharges, causing damage like an ion weapon and affecting the ship as usual on the Vehicle/Starship Damage Table. When unfurled, the nets are a kilometer wide, requiring the pilot to make a defensive dodge roll against the roll to hit their ship at +5 to the Difficulty of the roll. They are also easier to conceal in a ship than an ion weapon, at -1 to the Difficulty to do so. Also, because shock nets have a physical component, they are resisted if a ship is using shields. However, the shock net's damage is inflicted upon the shields first, like an ion weapon. If and when the shields are lost, the damage is then inflicted against the hull dice of the target ship, again like an ion weapon. This is done against shield and hull dice separately, not together. Also, if a target ship's crew is canny enough, they could attempt to shoot the shock net missile out of the sky before it reaches them and unfurls.
