Spoiler: Modular Warship rules

This advanced warship technology serves the same purpose for warships as omni-pods do for mechs. A modular mission pod can be described as dropships with a heavily modified docking collars and no engines, though this undersells the amount of engineering differences between modular mission pods and dropships.

To allow a warship to mount modular mission pods, MMP docking collars need to be installed on the ship and the engine needs to be enlarged for the extra weight of the Modular mission pods it will mount. There are four types of modular mission pods which each are only compatible with the matching modular mission pod docking collar: Compact, Light, Medium and Heavy. Although they are derived from dropship docking collars, MMP docking collars are completely different in structure, being much larger and inset into the ship's hull. Each MMP docking collar has a minimum tonnage requirement for a warship to be able to mount it, listed in the table bellow.

When MMP docking collars are installed on a ship, pick a firing arc. Only one MMP may be installed in any firing arc. Do to their size and the limitations on warship fire control computers, the MMP will prevent any weapons from being installed in that firing arc. Instead, all weapons mounted on any MMP installed there will use that firing arc. If the firing are is required to be mirrored, then MMP docking collars of the same type must be installed in both firing arcs.

When installing engines on a warship ship with MMP docking collars, you must add the maximum MMP size for each docking collar to the warships mass before calculating the size of the warship's maneuvering drive. This only applies to maneuvering drives: Like dropships, MMPs mount K-F Booms, and each MMP carries additional control systems and crew accommodation to take care of its own systems.

Modular Mission Pod Size
MMP Model	Minum Ship Size	MMP Collar Mass	Docking Collar Slots	MMP Max Size	MMP min SI	MMP max SI
Compact	100,000 tons	1,200 tons	1 Slot	20,000 Tons	3	30
Light	250,000 tons	1,500 tons	1 Slot	50,000 Tons	4	40
Medium	500,000 tons	2,000 tons	2 Slot	100,000 Tons	6	60
Heavy	1,000,000 tons	3,000 tons	3 Slot	150,000 Tons	8	80

Taking Damage
A Modular Mission Pod might take damage if the ship carrying it receives an attack. First determine what facing is receiving the attack, if there is an MMP that can receive damage from that facing then roll 1d6 and review the table bellow. If an MMP is on the rolled firing arc, then the damage is split between the MMP and the warship evenly. If a direct hit is rolled, then all damage is applied to the warship. Critical hits from the same attack are applied to the MMP then to the warship, alternating for additional critical hits.

MMP Hit table
Die Roll	Front	Aft	Side	Above/Bellow
1	Front Left	Aft Left	Front Side	Nose
2	Direct Hit	Direct Hit	Direct Hit	Direct Hit
3	Nose	Aft	Broadside	Direct Hit
4	Nose	Aft	Broadside	Direct Hit
5	Direct Hit	Direct Hit	Direct hit	Direct Hit
6	Front Right	Aft Right	Aft Side	Aft

MMPs use the Dropship side facing table for all critical hits. Thruster critical hits are negated. Critical hits to the engine instead damage the MMP link. The first hit to the MMP link increase heat generated be the MMPs weapon bays by 5%. The third hit disables the MMPs equipment as if powered down.

Spoiler: MMP Design Process

Step 1: Type and Size

The first step in designing an MMP is deciding which type of MMP collar it will be comparable with and the weight of the MMP. An MMP may weigh any where between 5000 tons and the maximum weight allowed by its MMP Collar listed in the Modular Mission Pod Size table, in 1,000 ton increments.

Step 2: Control System and Structure

An MMP's control system is composed of two parts, the first part is the MMP link which contains the power adapters, coolant line hook ups, and computer network ports that link its systems to those of the Warships it is attached to through the MMP collar. The MMP link weighs half the mass of the MMP collar. The MMP link also contains batteries and back up generators capable of keeping life support active while the MMP is being transported.

The other half of the MMP's control system are the duty stations for its crew and gunners.
The crew stations weigh the MMP's weight x 0.0020
An MMP uses the same rules as a Dropship to determine its minimum crew and gunners.

Determine Structural Integrity
An MMP does not have an engine, but it does have a minimum and maximum amount of Structural integrity based on the size of the MMP collar it is designed to be installed in, listed in the Modular Mission Pod Size chart. The weight of an MMP's structural integrity is (SI x Tonnage / 500)

Step 3: Armor

An MMP can mount (10+SI tonnage / 50) tons of armor, but only has one armor facing. Because the size of an MMP is primarily determined by the MMP collar it is affixed to, ammo per ton for an MMP is determined by its MMP collar rather than tonnage.

MMP Capital Armor per ton (Inner Sphere/Clan)
MMP Type	Standard Armor	Ferro-Aluminum	Ferro Carbide	Lamellar Ferro Carbide
Compact	1.2/1.5	1.5/1.6	1.7/1.9	2.0/2.5
Light	1.0/1.2	1.2/1.5	1.4/1.7	1.7/2.0
Medium	0.8/1.0	1.0/1.2	1.2/1.4	1.4/1.6
Heavy	0.6/0.7	0.8/0.9	1.0/1.1	1.2/1.3

Step 4: Heat sinks

All the equipment carried on an MMP will be considered part of the unit it is installed on for the purposes of heat. MMPs do not get any weight free heat sinks because they lack an engine. While MMPs are not required to install any heat sinks, it is suggested that they do so in case the unit they are installed on does not have enough space heat sinks to fire all of the MMPs weapons.

Step 5: Weapons and Equipment

Crew Quarters: Units that can mount MMPs rarely have passenger space for their MMP crews, thus an MMP must mount crew quarters for their officers, enlisted crew and gunners.

Legal Equipment: MMPs can mount any weapons and equipment that can be installed on dropships. A compact MMP can install any capital weapons that weighs less than 1000 tons, and other MMPs can mount any capital weapons other than mass drivers.

Weapons and Fire control Systems: a MMP has a single firing arc which follows the same rules for space and fire control systems as a warship.

Transport Bays and Doors: MMPs follow the same rules for transport bays and doors as a dropship, except they have only (3+ MMP tonnage / 50000) bay door rounded up.

Spoiler: Point Defense Laser (PDL) Rules

Categories: Point defense, Pulse*
Game Rules: When operating in standard mode, point defense lasers are treated as pulse lasers. Point defense lasers can also operate in point defense mode folloing advanced point defense rules. When operating in point defense mode, these weapons can only be used to defend agaisnt Capital missiles, Arrow-IV and other large artillery missiles. Rather than dealing half damage in point defense mode, point defense lasers use a second damage value listed next to their standard damage value. Point defense lasers to not get a -2 bonuse to hit for beign a pulse weapon while in point defense mode.
Construction Rules: Because of their bulky tracking systems, a point defense laser must be installed on a turret when installed on units under 500 tons. When a point defense laser is installed on a turret, no other weapons including other point defense lasers may be installed on that turret, however its firing arch covers all directions the turret could be aimed without needing to manually adjust its facing.

Something of a prestige project, the Panama is the second largest jumpship ever built after the Newgrange. The ship is designed for deep space colonization, and is thus the ship has enough Germanium-Carbide inductors to make six jumps in a row. Additionally the Panama is equipped with a unique multi-charge system allowing it to charge four Germanium-Carbide Inductors from its jump sails and two from its engines at the same time. This allows it to transport its incredible 40000 passengers with incredible speed. It has nearly 300 kilotons of equipment dedicated to supporting colonization efforts including enough hydroponics to keep a quarter of its passenger capacity fed indefinitely. The Panama has a deliberately sparse weapons loadout, composed exclusively of point defense lasers, making it easier for the ship to travel into Star League space to pick up colonists.
Only one was ever made.

The Star-Crane is a very distinct dropship with its A-Frame design and side mounted engines. Its primary cargo bay is entirely open to the elements, allowing it to use its hydraulically mounted magnetic clamps to simply lift up prefabricated structures and drop them off at their intended destinations. The star-crane has been a welcome addition to colonization efforts in both the Taurian Concordat and inner sphere.

Spoiler: Point Defense Missile System

The anti-missile missile system is a LRM-15 modified with a special tracking system designed to lock onto incoming capital missiles at long range.
Game Rules: AMMS are point defense weapons that follow a modified version of advanced point defense rules. Unlike other point defense weapons, they may target missiles at a range of 3 aerospace hexes (or 3 maps if used against missile artillery on a ground map), but can only target Arrow IV, cruise and capital missiles. Each AMMS deals 10 points of standard damage to a missile. When not operating in point defense mode, it is treated a an LRM-15 + Artimis.

Spoiler: Callisto FCS

Construction Rules:
Callisto FCS can only be installed on Dropships, warships, advanced support vehicles, structures and Mobile Structures.

For each units with weapons bays, the one Callisto Target Acquisition Sensor weighing 3 tons must be installed for each weapons bay mounting Dart Missile Launchers. Additionally 2 tons of Callisto Fire control computers must be installed for each Dart Missile Launcher in the weapons bay.

Advanced support vehicles follow the same rules as above, except per firing arc instead of weapons bay.

Structures and Mobile structures require a single 8 ton Callisto Sensor array in each hex with Dart Missile Launchers installed on it, and must mount 2 tons of Callisto fire control computers power Dart Missile Launcher installed on them.

Because the Dart-3 is intended for use on Mechs, it is not compatible with Callisto FCS.

Game Rules: Dart Missile Launchers gain a +2 bonus to their clustered hit roll when a Callisto FCS is installed. When used on Aerospace units, Dart missile launchers with Callisto FCS use capital rather than standard range bands.

Capellan Confederation

Spoiler: Artillery Gauss Riffle

Game Rules: Unlike most artillery weapons, the Artillery Gauss Riffle must use different ammunition types for direct fire and indirect fire. Because of its high muzzle velocity, the AGR cannot be used for artillery attack within 2 maps, however artillery attacks made with the AGR take 1/3 the normal number of turns to reach their target, rounded down. Direct fire attacks using APDS ammunition target a unit and deal 25 standard damage.

Draconic Combine

Spoiler: Delphi Imaging Probe

Game Rules: When operating on the space map, the Delphi Imaging Probe operates using the same rules as an Active Probe operating in the Medium Range Band (S.O. Pp 111), except using whatever firing arc it is installed in rather than the Nose firing arc.
Provide a -3 bonus to Detection Checks.
When within 30 hexes of a planet surface, it may be switched to operate in imaging mode. While in imaging mode it does not grant the benefits of an active probe as described above. Instead it provides the same benefits as a hyperspectral imager, except with the additional special rules described bellow.

• When within Medium range of the surface (12 aerospace hexes) the Delphi Imaging probe gains a -1 bonus to detecting hidden units and it also rolls for stealth units (those with an active Null-Signature, Void-Signature, or Stealth Armor System) and detects them on a 10+.
• When within Short range of the surface (6 hexes) the Delphi Imaging Probe gains a -2 bonus to detecting hidden units and can spot stealth units on a 9+.
• When operating on the low altitude map (surface map) a unit mounting a Delphi Imaging Probe automatically spots hidden units within 6 hexes (ignoring height) and automatically reveals stealth units within 3 hexes of its movement path. It does not get to make Rolls to spot units farther away at this altitude.
• When on a landed unit, the Delphi Imaging Probe has no effect.

Construction Rules: Units under 100 tons may only install the Delphi imaging probe in their nose/forward firing arc. Larger units may mount it in any firing arc, but the Delphi Imaging Probe may never be mounted on a turret. The Delphi imaging probe may only be mounted on flying units.

Comanche
Designed in response to the Marauder, the Comanche is the dedicated command mech of the TDF. The mech is build around a medium point defense laser which provides fire power similar to an AC-20 and protection from the use of missile artillery for decapitation attack. The massive laser weapon and its tracking system fills up the entire right torso of the mech, displacing its engine and cockpit towards the left, thus giving it an appearance very similar to the venerable Thunderbolt.

Tortoise (TRT-PD)
The Tortoise is one of the rare examples of a dedicated air defense mech designed by the Free Worlds League. In order to have enough room for the Point Defense Autocannon's tracking gear, the mech was designed as a quadmech. While the mech is an effective deterent agianst aircraft and aprovides some protection agaisnt missile strikes, many criticise it for a lack of firepower.

This dropship is heavily inspired by the Achilles however it uses fewer but more powerful weapons to build a better warship escort. Many civilian annalists believed that the embarrassment that the Concordat felt when the Koryu came out at the same time as the Hussar played a role in the cooperative Guass technology programs between the Taurians and Cappellans falling apart.

Husssar
The development of the Koryu could not be easily hidden, and news of the project leaked to Federated Suns very early into the program. Of the several design proposals that the DMI was able to acquire, what interested them most was the proposition for a dropships scale ground-air support craft. The Hussar is built around the Dart missile system, providing it with an altogether superior attack profile while in space compared to the Koryu, while its ventral cargo bay can be used both to deliver paratroopers or as a massive bombay making it also far more flexible.

I've decided to break things up int otwo posts, one for Armeris civil war equipment and another for Ameris Civil War units.

Spoiler: New Equipment

Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment
Because of the power and processing requirements of standard naval electronic warfare suites, standard ECM systems are of no use to them. Naval Electronic warfare equipment is much heavier and represents various technologies such as gigawatt amplifiers, holographic radio antenna or entire decks of electronic warfare servers clusters. Naval electronic warfare equipment may operate in one of two modes: ECM or ECCM. Naval electronic warfare equipment operating in ECM or “offensive” mode increases the strength and intensity of the units ECM bubble. Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment operating in ECCM or “defensive” mode improves the scanning power and strength of its ECCM. There are also two varieties of Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment, General and Specialized.

Game Rules:
Each set of General Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment on a unit must be assigned to either ECM or ECCM mode at the start of the weapon attack phase Prior to the ECCM Control roll (S.O. Pp 112). Specialized Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment is assigned its mode curing unit design.

A Large naval unit has the strength of its ECM field increased as if stacking with another ECM source (S.O. Pp 111) for each Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment it has in ECM mode. Additionally, for every unit of Naval Electronic warfare equipment it has operating in ECM mode, the range of its ECM field is increased by 1 hex, to a maximum of 12 hexes. Beyond this point there is no benefit from additional Naval Electronic Warfare equipment in ECM mode.

A large naval vessel gains a -1 bonus to its ECCM control roll for Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment it has operating in ECCM mode, to a maximum of -3. Additionally, counters the effects of fighter and smallcraft ECM around it like a beagle active probe operating in short range band, with a range of one hex per Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment the unit has operating in ECCM mode, to the maximum of 12 hexes.

Finally, a Unit with ECCM specialized naval electronic warfare equipment gets a -3 bonus to detection rolls for having an active probe instead of the normal bonus (S.O. Pp 118); units with general Navel Electronic Warfare Equipment set to ECCM mode receive the normal -2 bonus from having an active probe.

Construction Rules: Naval Electronic Warfare equipment can only be installed on Military Dropships, Space stations and Warships. Each Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment has a crew requires 2 additional crew to operate. Specialized electronic warfare equipment must have its mode designated on the unit record sheet when the unit is designed.
Specialized Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment: 100 tons, 65,00,000 C-bills.
General Electronic Warfare Equipment: 120 tons, 95,000,000 C-Bills.

Naval Null-Signature System
Someone less sophisticated and less valuable than the battlmech version of this technology, NNSS uses electromagnetic shielding and cooling systems directly underneath the ship's armor combined with specialized heat baffles on the engine.
Game Rules:
Increases the cap on ECM the unit may benefit from by +2. When the unit is not using active sensors or firing weapons, there is a +4 penalty to all detection checks to discover it.
onstruction rules:
A unit with a Naval Null-signature system gains no weight free heat sinks from its engines and weighs (Unit Weight / 200 + Engine Weight /50) tons.

Micro Stealth Jump drive
The primary reason that Aurigae was claimed was to provide security for the Taurian Concordat's stealth jump drive project. Stealth jump drives incorporate a heavily modified KF Booms into the hull in order to make the jump volume relatively small as possible. The jump drive also includes technology derived form Hyper Pulse Generator Technology which, while not capable of creating an artificial jump point, does help reduce the emergence wave.
Game Rules: Detection checks for the emergence wave (S.O. PP. 118) of a Stealth Jumpdrive have a +4 modifier, and are not modified by the unit's Jump drive integrity.
Construction Rules:
The mass of a Stealth jump drive is the Unit's Tonnage x 0.2456 + 1000. Stealth Jump drives may not be installed on a unit over 100 KT or under 5 KT. Units with stealth jumpdrives may not equip docking collars.

Modernized Drop Shuttle Bay
A result of the need to carry large numbers of assault dropships to be used as escorts in battle, modernized drop-shuttle bays apply centuries of technological progress to a once abandoned tool. Rapidly latching docking collars are combined with the jump field extenders and myomer enhanced docking arms of the Newgrange shipyard to rapidly embark and deploy light dropships.
Game Rules: A drop-shuttle bay may store dropships with a mass up to 5000 tons each internally. Dropships entering and exiting modernized dropshuttle bays use the same rules as Smallcraft.
Construction Rules: Each docking bay requires weights 1000 tons plus 500 tons per dropship cubicle with a maximum of 20 drophip cubicles per bay. Each Drop-shuttle bay must be assigned at least one bay door, 2 drop-ship collars and only one may be placed on each facing. Dorp-shuttle bays require 12 crew each.

Spoiler: Weapons

Spinal N-Gauss
An extension of Gauss Riffle Technology, Spinal Nacal Gauss weaponry were inspired by the mass drivers used by the Belter population that immigrated into the Taurian Concordat during their colonization boom. Unlike the mass driver, the Spinal N-Gauss is a dedicated weapon of war with a higher muzzle velocity and using lighter projectiles that have terminal guidance systems installed in them. Beyond the weapon it self, the spinal N-guass requires the installation of a set of supplementary targeting thrusters to help aim the weapon.

Game Rules:
Spinal weapons have a +3 penalty to hit targets under fifty thousand tons and cannot achieve a target lock on units under five hundred tons. Spinal weapons also receive a +5 penalty to hit when the unit they are mounted on has taken a critical hit to its maneuvering thrusters.

A Spinal N-Gauss may make attacks against static targets (aerospace units with station keeping thrusters and ground map hexes) beyond its normal maximum range. Such an attacks use the rules for Bearings-Only Launches Not Directly on the Playing Area (S.O. Pp 101) except the projectile velocity is twice the extreme range of the Spinal N-Gauss.
Prototype Rules: Whenever a prototype Spinal N-Gauss fires, roll 1d6: on a 1-2 the terminal guidance package fails and the range penalties on the to-hit roll are doubled.
Construction Rules:
Spinal N-Gauss cannot be installed on units bellow a minimum mass listed in the table bellow. Only one spinal weapon may be mounted on a warship. In order to aim, the spinal N-Gauss requires supplemental targeting thrusters to be installed. These targeting thrusters weigh 0.004 x Unit's mass.

Naval Pulse Lasers
Naval pulse lasers are a natural extension of pulse laser technology following the development of Heavy Point Defense lasers which do nearly as much damage as a light naval laser. Early naval pulse lasers suffered many problems with overheating, often suffering failures to their internal coolant pumps and optics. The doctrines of naval warfare had changed greatly since the originally development of naval lasers, with naval lasers mainly being used as defenses against assault dropships rather than warships.
Game Rules:
Capital pulse lasers have a -2 bonus to attack roles agaisnt units over 500 tons and a +3 penalty to hit units under 500 tons. Sub-capital pulse lasers have a -3 bonus to hit units over 500 tons and a +1 penalty to hit units under 500 tons. Capital and Sub-Capital pulse lasers otherwise follow the normal rules for capital and sub-capital direct fire weapons respectively.
Prototype: if the too hit roll of a Naval Pulse laser bay is a 2, the optics of of the largest active laser working naval pulse laser in the weapons bay are destroyed that weapon cannot fire again until its optics are repaired after battle.

Subcapital Autocannon
In a triumph of the combine's counter-intelligence operatus, House Kurita was able to develop sub-capital autocannons to completion without any one else in the Inner Sphere noticing. Subcapital auto-canons were designed with the goal of being a counter to the Federated Sun's Dart Missile launchers by allowing Draconis Combine to field assault dropships that could threaten warships and other dropships at capital weapon ranges.

Subcapital lasers
When most of the Inner Sphere was scrambling to develop a counter measure to dropships armed with the Federated Suns's Dart Missile launchers, the Rim World Republic decided to attempt and imitate some of the Taurian's first naval pulse lasers. Subcapital laser technologies were sold off to anyone who could buy them in order to pay off war reparations after the Ameris Civil War.

Spoiler: Alternate Capital Amunition

Extreme Range Stealth Missiles
One of the two methods that the Taurian Concordat developed to allow capital missiles to defeat point defense weaponry, Extreme Range Stealth Missiles were designed to avoid defensive fire by simply not being detected. They utilize cold gas thrusters for most of their programmed course and rely on radar scattering and absorbing stealth armor once inside the range of their target's active sensors. Designed to remain cold as possible in order to avoid infrared detection, Extreme Range Stealth Missiles only reactivate their main engine once they have drifted close enough to their target that their stealth armor would no longer be effective against active sensors.

Game Rules:
Extreme range Stealth Missiles may only be fired as a Preprogrammed Waypoint Launch (S.O. Pp 102). The missiles are designed to steer through optimized orbital paths using micro-corrections over a journey up to six months similar to early space probes, this path can be treated abstractly only noting the total duration of the journey. Extreme range Stealth missiles cannot target units with maneuver drives, and do not need to make attack rolls against static orbital targets (units with station keeping drives). Extreme range stealth missiles still need to make attack rolls when used in space to ground attacks, using the normal rules for capital missiles.

Sensors networks have two detection opportunities, one when it enters 2000 km of the target (112 hexes) the target must make a detection roll (S.O. Pp 118) with a base difficulty of 13. If detected at this range, the missile will be moving towards its target in a strait line with a speed of 10 hexes per turn. The second detection opportunity is when it reignites its engines 12 hexes from the target, if the target succeeds in a detection roll with +5 penalty, they will spot it in time for active point defense weapons to fire on it. (the latter roll is mainly a matter of speed rather than stealth, and units with enhanced reaction speed may gain a miscellaneous -1 bonus.)

Extreme Range Stealth Missiles are alternate ammunition for the Killer Whale capital missile and are armed with a standard Santa Ana nuclear warhead.

Shaped Nuclear charges
While these weapons can still be intercepted by fighters and escorting assault dropships, they detonate beyond the normal range of point defense weapons. Because they are effectively a single shot PPC, nuclear shaped charges do not produce the same devastating internal damage characteristics as a contact detonated nuke.
Game Rules: Shaped Nuclear Charge missiles travel through the aerospace map and can be engaged by point defense fire from unites they pass by as normal. However, rather than needing to travel the entire distance to their target, they detonate a set distance away from their target. This prevents the target from using point defense weapons to intercept as the missile has not entered the target's point defense envelope. Nuclear shaped charges behave like a standard missile for the purposes of critical hits rather than a WMD.

Detonation: range Short (6 hexes)
Damage: 100 (crit 9+)

La Yunta Dropship Tender
Despite mockery by some civilian analysts, by sheer luck Koryu turned out to be the perfect counter to the Hussar. Its “Dragon claw” point defense batteries were able to destroy large numbers of Dart missiles making it an excellent escort for the Concordat's warships. However its small size did not allow it to make the most efficient use of docking collars. Thus the Taurians turned to the past for inspiration and designed the La Yunta to carry large numbers of light dropships internally. In addition to its internal dropshuttle bays and six external dropship collars, the La Yunta has a mobile drydock capable of servicing up to two dropships at a time.

Apollo class destroyer
It is not entirely clear how Stephen Amaris intended to use the Apollo. The Taurian affair was concluded too quickly for Amaris to get the necessary supply of advanced technologies to complete more than a handful of them from Richard Cameron. When Aleksandr Kerensky captured the remaining Apollo class destroyers in drydock, he recognized them as effective escorts though having a short reach. Kerensky ordered the warships completed and used them to carry Heptigram escort dropships for the SLDF. The RimWorld Republic would continue to manufacture Apollo destroyers without ever owning one; most were provided to the SLDF and others were sold to the Great Houses as in order for the Rim World's Republic to pay off war reparations.

Ise Class Carrier
Being neighbors to the Federated Suns, the Draconis Combine saw first hand how dangerous the Hussar class dropship could be. Thus when the Taurian Concordat decided to build dropshuttle bay equipped dropship carriers to increase their escort capacity, House Kurita made it first priority to follow suite. Using Samarkand as a basis, the Ise and its escort dropships were designed in tandem around the limitations of the improved dropshuttle bay.

Heptigram
The Heptigram is a Draconis Combine assault drop-ship based on the Pentagon to be used with the Ise class dropship tender. Because it is intended to fly in formation with warships, the Heptigram sacrifices some speed compared to the Pentagon in order to attain more firepower. As the doctrine of escort dropships proved itself during the Taurain affair and into the Amaris Civil war, the SLDF bought many Heptigram class dropships to act as escorts for their warship formations.

Hyuga
The Hyuga was designed to be the most powerful assault dropship that can fit on a single docking collar. While sometimes called a pocket battleship due to its large number of of Sub-Capital Cannons, the Hyuga class dropship was designed to strike a balance between firepower armor, speed and defense.

El Cadejo class spy ship
Named after an evil spirit, the El Cadejo haunted the Star League for decades without being noticed. The spy ship is armed more like a dropship with point defense lasers and a few LRM, boasting only a single capital weapon in the form of a Killer Whale Missile Launcher on its nose for the sole purpose of deploying Extreme Range Stealth Missiles. In typical operation, it jumps into a point deep in the outer system where there are not distinct jump points and deploys its over-sized jump sail. While capable of multi-charging its Germanium-Carbide Inductors, in most instances the oversize sail merely compensates for the extreme distance form the primary. The ship's jump sail is also integrated into is coms-scanner suite, acting as an enormous reflector to pick up radio communications while its extensive banks of electronic warfare equipment parse the chatter.

Night Rider stealth Destroyer
Developed as a counter to the SDS system, the Night Rider was equipped with extensive ECM suites due to the amount of chatter that several El Cadejos detected coming form SDS drones. When the active sensor jamming is combined with a the Night Rider's null signature system it becomes extremely difficult to achieve an accurate target lock even if you know the destroyer is present. The Night Rider is also one of the First Taurian ships to install Naval Pulse Lasers, a technology that still faced teething problems during their first deployment.

Hunu Class Battleship
The Taurian Concordat's latest battleship is on the bleeding edge of naval technology. Beyond the addition of Naval Electronic Warfare Equipment, the Hunu was equipped with two prototype weapon systems: the Spinal Naval Gauss Riffle and Naval Pulse Laser. Both technologies had a number of notable failures that were barely hidden by expert tactical and strategic decisions. The mission orders for task for mongol were designed to be flexible around the fleets endurance. While the SLDF saw no definitive indication of it, the rampage in their heartland was pushing the limits of Task Force Mongol's endurance and the assault on Sol was carried out as the fleet was running out of space optics for their naval pulse lasers.

Spoiler: Equipment

Technologies acquired covered by standard rules:
CASE, Hardened Structure, Clantech armor, clantech DHS, clantech Dropship engine, Multi-Missile Launcher, guardian ECM and Beagle active probes.

Advanced Industrial Frame
Some battlemech components becoming cheaper and the constantly increasing demand for vacuum rated industrial mechs has resulted in the development of the Advanced Industrial Frame. This improved structure doesn't contain any novel features, merely a hybrid combination of battlemech structural components and the simpler industrial mech components.

Construction Rules: Advanced Industrial Frames weigh fifteen percent of the industrial mech's total weight and come with environmental sealing for free. Industrial mechs with an Advanced Industrial frame do not need to allocate a critical slot to an ejection system if one is added.

Naval CASE
Due to the more relaxed weight limits on capital ships, Naval case uses additional armor in order to be more effect than mech scale CASE. Naval CASE prevents ammunition for heavy weaposn from suffering ammunition detonation. If the unit is carrying Capital grade ammunition, any structural integrity damage caused by an ammunition detonation is reduced to 1 point of damage.
Construction Rules: Naval CASE weighs half the tonnage of all ammunition on the unit, rounded up.

Cellular fuel Tanks
While primitive cellular fuel tanks have existed since the twentieth century, the protection provided by these systems has not scaled up with the development of energy weapons. Taurian Cellular fuel tanks apply the principles of CASE technology to existing cellular fuel tanks in order to prevent their aerospace units from being damaged by fuel explosions.
Game Rules: Critical hits to fuel tanks drain 10% of their maximum fuel capacity and deal no additional damage.
Construction Rules: Cellular fuel tanks are a replacement for standard fuel tanks. When dropship or warship install cellular fuel tanks, their tanks weigh 1.2 times their capacity (normal fuel tanks weigh 1.05 times their capacity). Aerospace fighters instead gain 60 points of fuel per ton of cellular fuel tanks instead of 80 points.

Spoiler: Multi Weapons

Multi Torpeto Launcher
The Torpedo variant of the Multi-Missile Launcher developed by Oregon Contrails, due to the rarity of deep water combat in space aged warfare, the MTL is primarily sold to planetary militias of ocean worlds.

Multi-Purpose Dispenser
Game Rules: The multi-purpose dispenser may act as a mine dispenser, Mine Dispenser, or bomb dispenser. As a bomb dispenser is deploys 9 Gauss Mech Mortar High explosive shells. The attack roll of a bombing attack with a MPD follows the standard rules for for altitude or dive bombing as described by total warfare, but also requires a roll on the clustered hit table according to the rules for a Gauss Mech Mortar operating under Bombardment mode.
Ammunition Per ton: Land/Sea Mines 4, Sensors 60, C3 Remote Sensors 6, Bombs 2

Spoiler: Lasers

ER-Pulse lasers
Essentially Capital grade pulse lasers built in miniature, Taurian Er-Pulse lasers have multiple laser cores and use more durable optical materials normally only used in capital laser weapons. This makes Er-pulse lasers even heavier than standard pulse lasers, but also gives them sufficient range and damage to be as effective as a standard laser the next size up.
Both Small and Micro Er Pulse lasers have anti-infantry modes.

Er-Micro Pulse Laser
The Er-Micro Pulse laser was designed as a machine-gun replacement. In order to serve better as a long ranged infantry deterrent, the weapon sacrificed some of its effectiveness at armor. While primarily designed to serve on battle armor, it also can be used as a crew serviced weapon with a simple conversion kit. Vehicular versions of the Er-Micro Pulse laser come on a specialized pintle mount that includes a battery array and integrated power amplifier. The mech version of the Er-micro pulse laser requires a more invasive alteration than the other mounting kits, the integral heat sinks must be removed in order to install the laser into a cooling shroud, and the intrigral battery and power regulator must be removed in order to install an overcharger that slightly improves it range and damage.
Game rules: All Er-Micro pulse laser variants other than the mech mounted variant deal 2 damage to armored units or 1d6 + 1 damage to infantry. The mech mounted variant deals 3 damage to armor and 2d6 damage to infantry.
Construction rules: the vehicular er-micro pulse laser does not require heat sinks or power amplifiers when installed on a unit with ICE engines. The Mech mounted variant can also be mounted on Fuel Cell and Fusion powered combat vehicles, but requires heat sinks as a heavy energy weapon.

Enhanced Light Point Defense Laser
These weapons have the same rules as standard light point defense lasers, except they may also be used against swarm missiles and deal 20 damage to infantry.

Improved Medium and Large Point Defense Laser:
These weapons follow the same rules as Standard Medium and Heavy Point Defense Lasers except they have better range.

Spoiler: Omni-Pods

Omni-pods
An advanced application of modular technology, each omnipod is a bundle of weapons and equipment on a light weight frame attached to standardized mounting points on a matching unit. These frames and mounting points are designed to allow a unit to quickly swap out ombnipods, providing greater tactical flexibility at a small cost of cargo. The weight of both the frame and mounting points are both factored into weight and space of the omni-pod equipment. There are general types of omnipods based on the type of equipment they may mount, and two special types of omnipods.
Game Rules:
Cricial hits to the omnipod mounting equipment causes power failure for Omni mounted components.
Turret and full arm omnipods are extremely easy to replace as long as a replacement turret or arm is available. Turret mounted omnipods can be replaced in 5 turns if a lift joist is available, or ten turns if using mech hand actuators. Full arm omnipods can be replaced in 6 turns with a lift hoist or mech bay, 4 turns with mech hand actuators, or 2 turns with a mech using salvage arms. All other types of omnipods take thirty minutes to an hour to swap.
Construction Rules:
Omnipods may only be mounted on mechs, aerospace fighters, and combat vehicles. Support vehicles and advanced structures may mount omni turrets only. Only mechs may mount full arm omnipods.

A unit may only mount omnipods in locations with omni-pod equipment installed in them, however there are special rules for omni-turrets and full arm omnipods. The equipment installed in an omnipod may only have as much space as remaining available in the location where the omni-pod equipment is located, but any unused weight capacity a unit has may be distributed between its omnipods freely.

Each omnit-pod equipment occupies one critical slot in mechs, costs one space in combat vehicles, and reduces external stores hardpoints in ASF.

Omni-turrets: Omni pod mounting equipment installed on a turret location does not count towards the turret weight, instead it functions as a modification to the turret equipment.

All omnipods may mount heat sinks and modular armor. Industrial Omni Pods can only mount equipment listed on the Industrial Equipment Table on page 344 of Total Warfare, ECM, active probes, melee weapons, Recon Cameras and Satellite imagers. Energy Omnipods may only energy weapons, ECM, Active Probes and satellite imagers. Projectile omnipods may only ballistic weapons, missile weapons and ammunition bins. Universal omnipods and full arm omnipods may mount any of the equipment allowed to be installed in omnipods above.

Full Arm Omni-pod (OMNI/A)
This system places the entire arm of a mech on a modular hard point, making it a universal omni pod.
Game Rules: It is possible to eject an arm mounted as a full arm omnipod in an emergency. If the arm is suffering from an ammunition explosion, the mech may make a piloting check to eject the arm and prevent any damage overflow.
Construction Rules: The omnipod equipment occupies the shoulder section of the side torso, and prevents the mounting of shoulder turrets. The arm may mount omnipods of any type, and may even reclaim arm acuators for additional space.

Spoiler: Gauss Mech Mortars

Gauss Mech Mortar
The Gauss mech mortar is an indirect fire weapon designed to help Taurian ground forces indirect fire capacity catch up with the improvements in LRM technology produced by the Terran Hegemony and Federated Suns. The Guass Mech Mortar applies the same principles as the Artillery Gauss Cannon to mortars rather than howitzers. By slightly increasing the weight of the ammunition and removing the need for propellant, the shells of the GMM deal twice as much damage as those of a Mech Mortar.
Game Rules:
Gauss Mech Mortars follow the same rules as mech mortars, except they may only be used for inirect fire attacks.

Bombardment mode (Optional): The GMM was designed by artilerists, thus has a toggle switch to disable the safety fuse in the shells and allow them to detonate when they scatter from their intended target. When a GMM misses its target while in Bombardment mode, the attack scatters as artillery attack. When rolling for scatter distance, roll only 1d6 and divide the result by 2 rounding up. Shells that miss the target hex due to the clustered hit roll may also have an effect, for each shell that does not hit the target hex, roll for a direction on the artillery scatter diagram and apply the effect of this shell to the adjacent hex in that direction. In both cases, the missed shells target the hex rather than a unit in the hex.

Alternate Ammunition:
Inferno Shells have the same effect as inferno missiles, except each shell counts as 2 inferno missiles.
High explosive Shells: High explosive shells may only target hexes rather than units and deal 4 points of AOE damage per shell.
Air burst Shells: Air burst shells deal 12 points of damage to infantry in the hex per shell.
Smoke Shells: Smoke shells follow the same rules as smoke missiles (TO 371)
Flame Retardant Shells: These uncommon fire fighting shells target a hex rather than a unit. The shells detonate midair over the hex showing it with flame retardant foam, putting out all fires including those caused by inferno ammunition. This type of ammunition is kept in stock at most depots, bases and headquarters units.

The design incorporates many stealth features, such as noise reducing engine baffles. While not effective against modern sensor suites, they do make it much more difficult to spot by infantry and rear line forces using mostly civilian equipment.

 

[Doomsought]

The Taurain Defense Force at the dawn of the 29th century was mcuh different than the one that existed during the Age of War. The growth of the Concordat in both planets and prosperity has allowed the Taurians to field far greater numbers of fighters than before and the proliferation of assault and escort dropships being used in combat has change reshaped the Taurain military on multiple levels.

To deal with the massive growth of their military organization, the Concordat introduced two new officer ranks into their order of battle. While Space master command lighter warships, the new rank of Star Master has been added directly above it. Star Masters are placed in charge of TDF carriers, Battleships and cruiser formations The Taurian Army added the Lieutenant Comptroller in the equivalent position for ground forces.

The expanding territory of the Taurian Concordat also required expanded administration in the TDF resulting in the rank of Admiral being added directly below the position of the Marshal of the Taurian Defense Force. In the army and other ground forces, flag officers of equal rank to Admirals would be called Generals.

These new officers would become the senior staff of the Taurain Defense force. One admiral and one general was placed in in command of the patrols and garrisons of each province. The Taurian rapid response fleet and the Transportation and Service Division were also assigned their own admirals. The head of the Taurain Constabulary was also given the rank of General.

The forces under these senior officers were spread out over the breadth of the Taruain Concordat. As part of the Taruains federalism and democratic tradition, every planet will have a lieutenant comptroller assigned to the planetary militia by the planetary government, whom primarily falls under the authority of the Taurian Constabulary. Most of the garrison forces assigned to planets by the TDF are placed under the command of a TDF lieutenant comptroller, however planets with particularly small garrisons will have those garrison forces placed under the command of the lieutenant comptroller of the planetary militia instead. A few particularly important planets have their garrison forces placed under the command of a full comptroller, however most comptrollers command forces spread out over several planets assigned to them by a general.

The structure of the Taurain's Air force changed to accommodate greater numbers and new units. Do to a change in the number of aircraft in them and an additional formations being placed above the air division its the units were renamed to Star Battalions. Despite the air battalion containing 36 aircraft, most new built Taurian warships would have hangers designed to hold 40 aircraft. This gave some extra room for spares or specialized aircraft. In emergencies, a pair of smallcraft could be jammed into the space designated for the four extra aerospace fighter. Experienced Taurain airmen can instantly tell if a hanger has done this by the characteristic scuff marks and dents.

Roughly equivalent to the Air Battalion is Star lance. It is a force composed of 4 assault dropships. A warships under the size of a battleship will typically be assigned a Star lance as dedicated escorts, though they may have additional star lances to be used offensively.

Both the Air Battalion and the Star Lance would be incorporated into a new formation the Taurains called the Star Regiment. While similar garrison units existed throughout the inner sphere on an ad hoc basis, only the Taurians would standardize the practice as a formal unit type. The role of the Star Regiment is to be a garrison force capable of defending a planet form a warship based raid without actually having a warships. This does not call for it to be able to destroy a warship, but to be able to repel the transportation capability that can be carried on a single warship, deter a warship from being used in orbital bombardment and delay any larger force. A variation on the Star Regiment is the permanently assigned spacecraft to a La Yunta drop-ship tender. The Carrier Based Star Regiment leaves 24 dropship cubicles open in a La Yunta's internal bays for the escorts of other warships and support craft such as light transports and tugs.

Spoiler: New Taurian Aerospace Technology

Barracuda SRM Swarm missile
Rather than carrying a conventional warhead, this missile carries two dozen self targeting SRM missiles. Due to the difficulty of fitting a guidance package into the missile, the missile simply divides the short ranged missile among all targets that it can detect evenly. While highly effective at stripping armor from fighters and missiles, the swarm missile's targeting system lacks sufficient range to defeat anti missile systems as initially hoped during the onset of the project.
Game Rules: The Barracuda SRM Swarm Missile performs a modified are of effect attack. When fired, the missile targets a hex. After reaching the hex, the missile divides its payload of 24 Short Ranged missiles among all enemy units in the radius of one hex around it. The number of missiles assigned to each target is rounded down, with the remainder simply lost.

Barracuda Thermobaric MIRV
The Barracuda Thermobaric MIRV is a reentry vehicle containing 6 large thermobaric bombs that is compatible with Barracuda and AR-10 missile launchers. The bombs separate after passing the Atmosphere Row 3 on the High Altitude map in order to limit the effect of air defense fire.
Game Rules: The Barracuda thermobaric MIRV can only be used for orbit to surface attacks. On a successful hit to the target hex, roll 1d6 for each of the 6 directions from the target hex and place a large thermobaric bomb on the rolled hex. On a miss, roll for artillery scattering five times for the placement of the bombs, with the last bomb being lost.

Both barracuda variant missiles made their way to the export list, especially for periphery states.
The Taurains also developed Naval C3 through a combination of espionage and original research.

Spoiler: Stallion Class Cruiser

When the first of the class underwent it shakedown cruise in the lase 2770's, the Taurians discovered they attempted to reach beyond their grasp. The naval CASE, cellular fuel storage, and dropship accommodations interfered with Naval Null Signature system in the prototype. Despite these failures, the ship was an effective and modern combatant. The other Stallions under construction would be completed without attempting to install stealth features, and several more batches would be order as it became clear that a stealth cruiser would take several more decades to become technically viable.

After fifteen years of effort, the Lone Star would exit the ship yards with functional cruiser scale naval null signature system in 2814. The Lone Star would also be the first class of Taruian warships to feature naval C3 technology as a standard feature rather than a refit. While inferior to Terran Hegemony C3 do to more primitive computer technology, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, an entire formation of Lone Star cruisers could share Targeting sensor data.
