A CALL TO ARMS
Errata
This document contains all official updates to A Call to Arms: Star Fleet and will be repeated in all reprints of the rulebook.
Revised 18/04/2012.
Page 8
Drone: Drones can only use a limited number of control frequencies when tracking their targets. No more than three ships may
attack any single target with Drones in a turn.
Plasma-D Torpedo: If a ship has not used a loaded Plasma-D torpedo in a turn and is attacked by enemy drones, it may choose
to forego any firing of the Plasma-D in that turn and instead gain the Anti-Drone trait with a score equal to the number of
Plasma-D torpedoes it is dedicating to this duty. When finished, the Plasma-D torpedo will require reloading. If the ship runs
out of ammunition while using the Anti-Drone trait, it may continue to use the Plasma-D torpedo during the battle but will need
reloading first.
Page 14
The Immobile and Slow traits should be in italics as they can never be lost for any reason. Remove the Lumbering trait and delete
all references to it from the rest of the rulebook.
Page 15
Seeking: Seeking weapons must travel across space to their target but will doggedly pursue it until they impact and explode
with deadly effect. A weapon with this trait will automatically hit a target within 18”, without rolling any Attack Dice. At greater
ranges, it will require Attack Dicerolls as normal. Apply modifiers (such as long range) to the Attack Dice as normal.
With the damage spread around the entire target ship, no rolls are made to see if the weapon penetrates Shields.

Romulans cannot use Plasma Carronades – sorry guys, but your plasma launchers just aren’t built that way!

a host of small ship missions such as convoy escort, patrol and reconnaissance.

D7 Battlecruiser
175 points
The quintessential opponent for any Federation captain, the D7 is an improvement over
the previous D6, which was itself a much larger version of earlier cruiser designs. The D7
is a combat ship throughout; exploration and rescue are left to unarmed auxiliaries.

The C8 was used as a flagship and led the most dangerous planetary and starbase assault
missions. They never patrol alone and are the flagships of each border fleet.

KF5R Destroyer
105 points
Based on the excellent Klingon F5 frigate design, at least a dozen of these Klingon-built hulls were converted to Romulan technology with cloaking devices and plasma torpedoes. As with all frigates, these ships performed
supplementary missions such as convoy escorts, patrols, screens and raids.

SparrowHawk Light Cruiser
170 points (SPA)
The most common of the Hawks, the light cruiser known as SparrowHawk has served on all Romulan fronts and theatres, in every
fleet. Designed for efficient production (the hulls of the SparrowHawk and the larger FireHawk were more than 80% identical), SparrowHawks have been built in vast numbers.

FireHawk Heavy Cruiser
225 points (FH)
The FireHawk was built in considerable numbers. It was, in effect, a SparrowHawk with a fourth engine, a second type-S plasma torpedo
and an enlarged hull packed with extra systems. The excellent spaceframe formed the basis of a bewildering array of even larger (and
more heavily loaded) ships such as the NovaHawk, RoyalHawk, RegalHawk, ThunderHawk, KillerHawk and SuperHawk, among others.

KRC Command Cruiser
These were some of the best warp-powered starships that the Romulans deployed
prior to the General War, converted from the Klingon D7C. Each ship mounts two
Plasma-F torpedoes, two type-S torpedoes and two launch racks for type-D
plasma torpedoes.

FastHawk Heavy Cruiser

As did other empires, the Romulans built a fast raider version of their heavy cruiser. More powerful engines drove the ship but the
weapons load had to be reduced due to stress.

than sending cruiser or frigate squadrons.

Medium Cruiser
160 points (CM)
Appearing just as the General War began, the medium cruiser, like the Klingon D5, was
designed for mass production, to greatly enlarge the fleets. Costing 60% as much as a
battlecruiser, it had 75% of the firepower and was more efficiently designed. The addition
of anti-drones (a system previously ignored by the Kzintis) reflected acceptance that the
Klingons were using ever increasing numbers of drones in their fleet. These provided a
second layer of defence along with the traditional phaser-3s.

New Heavy Cruiser
170 points (NCA)
By Y175, the Kzintis faced the same problem as all of the other fleets – a lack of true
heavy cruisers. The pre-war battlecruisers had suffered steady losses and the
production rate of these heavier ships could not keep pace. Ultimately, the Kzintis
turned to adding a large section to the back (or top) of their medium cruiser, adding a fourth engine and thousands of tons of additional weapons and equipment.
Produced more quickly than the battlecruiser class (which remained in production),
the new heavy cruiser kept the fleet up to strength as the General War dragged on.
