Plant Series
Mimic Industries, in a departure of mimicking super powers, created a series of items based on the forces found in the video games Plants vs Zombies.

Peashooter
The Peashooter is a suit of armour based on the peashooter in the Plants vs Zombies games. It consists of a green body suit with torso armour, helmet that looks like a pea pod, although many think it appears more as an older style gas mask, with a part extending out with a large filter/grill, two dark lenses for the eyes. Armour plating covers the legs and arms, heavy gloves and ammunition and gear holsters and pockets around the forearms and waist, holster for provided pistol on hip of users preference. Each shoulder has an armoured container. The pistol uses standard 9mm ammunition, but the armour can also grow its own ammunition, within the shoulder containers, from normal ammunition, armour piercing and explosive rounds, however it takes time for the suit to grow ammunition, and requires access to sunlight (natural or artificial), soil and fertilizer every couple of weeks. The grown ammunition only works with the pistol assigned with the armour, or a replacement.

Equipment Bonus: +3
Nonprof. Bonus: +1
Str Bonus: +0
Nonprof Str Bonus: +0

Arm straps for 1 magazine of ammunition each, plus can hold 6 rounds in quick access loops. Belt has holster for Peashooter 9mm pistol, 6 pouches and can hold 6 magazines.

Undead Resistance
The plant fibers that are used in the armour's construction provide some resistance against the undead. The wearer gains +1 to all saves from attacks or abilities from an undead source.

Grow Ammunition
The armoured containers on the shoulders are filled with soil and plant matter that sprouts pea-like pods that are filled with ammunition. The containers require at least 3 hours of sunlight (natural or artificial), fertilizer added every 2 weeks, and soil replaced every 6 months. Ammunition grown, in each shoulder, as long as the pods are maintained, at a rate of 1d6+1 regular 9mm bullets every 2 days, armour piercing 1d4 every 7 days, explosive 1d4-1 (minimum 1) every 14 days. These rounds function as normal for their type, and can remain unused for up to 5 years before eventually rotting away, which can be used as regular fertilizer.

Peashooter 9mm Pistol
This green pistol is in design to common 9mm pistols, just in the same green colouring as the Peashooter armour. It is reliable and functional.

Juggernaut
The Juggernaut armour is based on the Gatling Pea, heavy armour with minor strength augmentation to offset the weight of carrying a four barrel gatling gun and ammunition. The gatling gun has an added feature where it can fire from all four barrels at once for increased damage, but at slower rate of fire. The armour is the same shade of green as the Peashooter armour, but has thicker plate and black heavier armour plates, pockets, pouches and armoured addition to the top, sides and back of the helmet, appearing as if wearing a helmet on top.

Undead Resistance
The plant fibers that are used in the armour's construction provide some resistance against the undead. The wearer gains +2 to all saves from attacks or abilities from an undead source.

Grow Ammunition
The armoured containers on the shoulders are filled with soil and plant matter that sprouts pea-like pods that are filled with ammunition. The containers require at least 3 hours of sunlight (natural or artificial), fertilizer added every 2 weeks, and soil replaced every 6 months. Ammunition grown, in each shoulder, as long as the pods are maintained, at a rate of 2d6 regular 7.62mm bullets every 2 days, armour piercing 1d6+1 every 7 days, explosive 1d4 (minimum 1) every 14 days. These rounds function as normal for their type, and can remain unused for up to 5 years before eventually rotting away, which can be used as regular fertilizer.

Strength Augment
The armour has some artificial muscle fibers that help augment the wearer's strength, providing a +1 Str bonus, and negate the weight of the armour and the Juggernaut Gatling Gun with 2 extra ammunition drums, so they don't count against the wearer's carrying capacity.

Juggernaut Gatling Gun, 7.62mm
This is a man portable four barrel gatling gun chambered in 7.62mm, with a carrying handle behind the barrels, plus the trigger handle at the back. The ammunition drum is mounted on the side. This weapon can be used as a normal gatling gun, unleashing large amounts of rounds over an area, with the barrels rotating to keep them cool during high rate of fire, or can fire all four barrels at once, but at a lower rate of fire but with higher damage.

So these armors are bio mechanical?

Yeah, basically. But plant based. So using plant fibers woven into fabric, or into fabric, hard plates are hard plant material, like bark, but treated or interwoven with plastics/ceramics.

Slugma
Slugma is a limbless gastropod mollusk pokemon composed of magma. Its body is a bright red, fading to a duller red along its extremities. It has large, round, yellow eyes with small pupils. The head is ovoid with flame-like extensions spreading outward from its eyes. Its circulatory system is composed entirely of magma, which delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to its organs. In order to prevent its body from cooling and hardening, slugma neither sleeps nor stops moving. If its body does being to cool, it will become brittle and may break apart. They constantly seek warm places and gathers with others of its species in mountains and volcanos.

Federation Freighter

This class of freighter was first released in the 2280s to 2290s for civilian use, and some are also found within Starfleet, designed for operating for decades before requiring major upgrades. The hull is a small primary hull command module at the front, with a long narrow primary hull, ending in the engineering section, impulse engines and a cluster of six rectangular style warp nacelles introduced in the 2270s-80s. Extending from the hull are two groups of six cargo pods on struts. This allows the crew to eject a cargo pod in case of emergency. The impulse engines are not fast, but powerful to maintain speed even with a full load. The six warp nacelles are not designed for speed but for high efficiency, with either all six working together to reduce the strain, or work in pairs, alternating between three pairs. This helps keep maintenance requires low, or if some nacelles are damaged, the ship can still jump to warp.
The cargo pods are modular inside with customizable environmental and gravity control for transporting virtually any cargo, from gases, liquids, foodstuffs and even converted to carry passengers. The ships are heavily automated to keep crew requirements down, and crew quarters are surprisingly decently sized and furnished. The ships are fitted with only two phasers, one for and one aft, with light shielding.

Federation Freighter Class (Federation (PL6)

none

Standard PL(6) Design Spec: Agile Ships (+1 Dodge), Easy to Repair (Repair DC -4, -25% time), Swiss Army Tech, Shield Dependent, transporter, Sickbay (extended medbay), tractor beam, replicators, shuttle bay (2 shuttles, 4 workdrones/tugs, about 50 to 75% size of standard shuttle), multiple warp nacelles, detachable cargo modules
Engines: thrusters, ion engines, warp drive (max warp 5.5, cruising warp 4.5)
Armour: ditanium
Defense Systems: shields, autopilot
Sensors: Class III
Communications: radio transceiver, subspace array
Weapons: 2 type 3 phaser
Grappling Systems: tractor beam

Multiple Warp Nacelles
Due to the multiple warp nacelles, the craft can cycle which pair of warp nacelles are used at a single time, or use multiple pairs to maintain maximum warp longer. Using a single pair maximum warp can be maintained for 12 hours, four nacelles for 24 hours, and all six for 36 hours. The nacelles are slower, but built for endurance. Switching between nacelles, or activating or deactivating additional pairs is a full round action by the engineer and a move action for the pilot, but there is no loss in speed for the ship

Detachable Cargo Modules
The 12 cargo modules can be jettisoned in an emergency, such as critically damaged or dangerous cargo threatens the ship. A pod can be ejected as a move equivalent action and can be done as the ship is moving. Each jettisoned module reduces the ship's main hit points by 20 hp. If all 12 are jettisoned, the ship gains +1 to Init for the first round after detaching. Speed can be increased to 3000 ft for 5 minutes at a time, with 10 minute cool down if all pods are jettisoned. Jettisoned pods can only be reattached at a space dock.

Variants
Mk2
The Mk2 was released in the early half of the 2300s, improving automation to reduce the crew requirements, improving the cargo capacity. The hull also saw some improvements.
Make following changes to Federation Freighter:
Reduce crew compliment to 20;
Increase cargo capacity to 26,400 tons (2200 tons per pod);
Increase hit die to 32d20 (640 hp), shields to 800 hp);
PDC: +1

Mk3
The Mk3 saw the most improvements in the later half of the 2300s, mostly in the warp nacelle design change with the flatter rounded design, with the glowing sides, improving warp efficiency and speeds. The hull is improved with heavier armour, while still light compared to other ships, the heavy ditanium does help. The type 3 phasers are replaced with Type 4 to better defend against pirates.
Make following changes to create Mk3 with bonuses from Mk2:
Replace armour Ditanium with Heavy Ditanium (hardness 20);
Increase Maximum warp speed to 6, cruising speed to 5.5 (maximum warp speed duration for Multiple Warp Nacelles increased by 25% rounding down);
Cargo Capacity increased to 30,000 tons (2500 tons each pod);
PDC +1

Phaser Type 3
Phasers are the main offensive weapons of the Federation, using nadian based phased energy that fire beams, capable of variable energy output. Usually mounted in a low profile turret to allow greater field of fire. Able to change damage by lowering the number of die to a minimum of 2d10 as a free action once per round. The Type 3 phaser was available on civilian ships.
Damage: 10d10

Hardness: 15
Base Purchase Modifier: 13 + one-half base purchase DC of the starship.

Heavy Ditanium Alloy (PL5-6)
Heavy Ditanium alloy is an alloy that was used to replace titanium, combining Duranium into the alloy to create a new type of armour and superstructure, in the use of military craft and especially space craft as it had some inherent abilities to block some of the radiation encountered in space.
Hardness: 20
Base Purchase Modifier: 14 + one-half base purchase DC of the starship.

Phaser Type 4
Phasers are the main offensive weapons of the Federation, using nadian based phased energy that fire beams, capable of variable energy output. Usually mounted in a low profile turret to allow greater field of fire. Able to change damage by lowering the number of die to a minimum of 3d10 as a free action once per round.
Damage: 12d10
Damage Type: Fire/Energy
Range Increment: 5500 ft
Rate of Fire: Semi
Minimum Ship Size: Huge
Purchase DC: 35

Agile Ships
All Star Trek ships are more agile for their size, gaining a +1 Dodge bonus to Defense as long as the ship moves.

Easy to Repair
Due to the nature of the technology in this universe, especially Federation or Borg technology, all repairs have DC reduced by -4, and time reduced by 25%.

Swiss-Army Tech
Due to the adaptable nature of the technology, and skilled engineers, especially those in the Federation, a piece of technology can be jury-rigged and modified to do something it wasn't originally intended to do, as long as it is within reason (GM discretion), such as modifying the deflector array into a type of energy weapon, albeit limited use. Modifying a device this way means it can not be used for its original purpose at the same time, and requires a Knowledge: Technology check DC 18 and Repair check DC 21 and 5 +1d6 minutes for moderate changes (such as deflector array being used as a means to emit a type of energy as a weapon); while more extensive modifications require a Knowledge: Technology check DC 25 and Repair check DC 30, and 30 +2d10 minutes. This type of modification means the item is unable to be used for its original purpose until it has been restored to its original configuration.

Shield Dependent
Star Trek ships have powerful shields, having the equivalent of Deflector Shields (d20 Future pg 42) and provide bonus HP against all attacks equal to 20 HP / starship HD + 25% HD, for example, a ship with 5 HD (100 HP) will have shields with 125 HP. However as they have developed incredible powerful shields, they are a bit lacking in the armour department, suffering -2 hit dice per category and subtype. There are a few exceptions to this rule, being Klingon, Dominion and Hirogen ships which have standard hit dice for their subtype and category, with a few notable other ships, such as the Defiant class.

The Raising Nova
The Raising Nova is a Q-Ship modification of the Federation Freighter Mk3, created during the height of the Dominion War. The Raising Nova was gutted and completely rebuilt, with upgraded warp drive, impulse engines, armour was upgraded and other systems as well. The cargo pods are actually weapon pods, heavily shielded, with false sensor readings appearing as dilithium or other highly prized cargo. The engines are also shielded to hide their true power levels, while not overly more powerful, they are better than the originals, with the ability to for short bursts increase speed even further.
The weapon pods appear as normal cargo pods, but once engaged in combat, they open to reveal multiple torpedo launchers and phasers. The idea is to unleash as much of the torpedo payload quickly while surrounded by enemies, then make a hasty escape while blasting away at anything in the way with the phasers.

Type 3 Phaser +1 ranged 10d10 (5000 ft, energy/fire, s)* while pretending to be a normal Federation Freighter Mk3
Weapon Pods (12) Photon Torpedo Launcher +1 ranged 12d20 (-, energy)** and Type 5 Phaser -4 ranged 12d10 (energy/fire, 6000 ft, s)
**Can fire 1 torpedo at up to 5 targets per launcher, or can firelink torpedo launchers from additional pods up to 8 torpedoes firelinked dealing 30d20.
Type 5 phasers can be firelinked in only pairs dealing 18d10 damage.

In combat, The Raising Nova will play the role of a normal freighter, letting opponents get in close, then when surrounded or large target gets close, it quickly raises its shields using the Shield Capactors if required, then opens a number of the cargo pods and unleashes barrages of torpedoes and phaser fire. Typically against ships its own size will only open two pods unless the target is particularly tough, while frigates to destroyers it will open 2 to 4 pods, cruisers and larger 6 pods will be opened. If multiple targets surround it, all pods will open.
After the initial barrage, The Raising Nova will move at max speed and try to move so that it isn't surrounded and will keep firing until it's down to 10 torpedoes left total, then will try and jump to warp speeds. It will jettison damaged or pods that have expended all torpedoes and still several enemies, or if main target still over 50% hull.

Multiple Warp Nacelles
Due to the multiple warp nacelles, the craft can cycle which pair of warp nacelles are used at a single time, or use multiple pairs to maintain maximum warp longer. Using a single pair maximum warp can be maintained for 12 hours, four nacelles for 24 hours, and all six for 36 hours. The nacelles are slower, but built for endurance. Switching between nacelles, or activating or deactivating additional pairs is a full round action by the engineer and a move action for the pilot, but there is no loss in speed for the ship.

Detachable Cargo Modules
The 12 cargo modules can be jettisoned in an emergency, such as critically damaged or dangerous cargo threatens the ship. A pod can be ejected as a move equivalent action and can be done as the ship is moving. Each jettisoned module reduces the ship's main hit points by 20 hp. If all 12 are jettisoned, the ship gains +1 to Init for the first round after detaching. Speed can be increased to 4000 ft for 5 minutes at a time, with 10 minute cool down if all pods are jettisoned. Jettisoned pods can only be reattached at a space dock.

Shielded Weapon Pods
These pods replace the cargo pods normally found on the ship. The pods gives off a sensor signature of dilithium or other precious cargo, enemy scans have DC increased by +15 for detailed scans to try revealing the truth. The pods open as a free action by the gunners, which each pod with a dedicated gunner.
These pods, once opened, have one Type 5 phaser and 5 photon torpedo launchers than each have 5 torpedoes each, capable of firing at separate targets or a single target at once.
When jettisoned, the pods also function as mines, which will detonate when within 500 ft of a target over 500 ft long, or detonated remotely. Deals 2d100 points of energy damage to all within 2000 ft radius, Reflex save DC 15, ships that fill more than 1 500 ft square in the blast radius suffer -1 to Reflex save per 500 ft square, on a failed save suffer 50% more damage per 500 ft in the blast area.

Shielded Engines
The engines are more powerful, but are shielded so that scans only detect the normal power levels for a ship of this class. Scans have DC increased by +15 to notice anything the high power levels.

Duranium (PL6)
Duranium is an extremely strong metallic substance used in alloys for hull construction of starships and space stations. It became well used in the Federation in the 2200s although some ships were still using Ditanium to save on costs and for ships that wouldn't see combat or small craft.
Hardness: 25
Tactical Speed Penalty -500 ft (-1 square)
Weight: One-tenth the weight of the starship (rounded down)
Base Purchase Modifier: 15 + one-half base purchase DC of the starship. Found only within Federation and other major Star Trek societies.

Structural Integrity Field Generator (PL 7)
The Structural Integrity Field, or SIF, generator creates a type of magnetic field that helps reinforce the ship, combined with environmental containment fields, prevent the ship from breaking up after suffering damage. The field can be activated as an attack of opportunity by the engineer after the ship has suffered at least 10% damage, or as a standard action, for a maximum of 2 minutes (20 rounds, with a 5 minute cool down afterwards, which can be reduced by 1 minute with a Repair check DC 25, taking 6 rounds), granting temporary HP up to maximum of 75% of the ship's maximum HP, and regenerates these temporary hit points at a rate of 20 hit points per round, but can't exceed the ship's maximum hit points. While operational, one energy weapon system has damage reduced by 2 die, reduce range increment by 500 ft. If the ship is reduced to one-quarter its max hit points, one energy weapon system is automatically disabled to pull power to ensure environmental fields are running to prevent crew casualties as the ship suffers damage. If the ship is reduced to 0 hit points, and as long as there is power, the ship doesn't start to break up until it reaches -50 hit points, doesn't regenerate HP, and the ship doesn't lose additional hit points, thus greatly extending the time for crew to evacuate safely, provided power is still provided to the SIF. If the ship suffers damage in this state, it will break up as normal.
Minimum Ship Size: Gargantuan.
PDC: 19 + one-half ship base purchase DC.

Shield Capacitors
Shield capacitors are energy reserves connected to the shield generators that can quickly restore HD to shields, but once used, they take time to recharge. As a free action, any crew member, on their turn can activate a shield capacitor, using all of the stored power, so if the shield capacitor stored energy would go over the shield's normal maximum, the extra energy is wasted.
Shield capacitors come in various sizes, with some restricted to larger sized ships. Each HD for shields is 20 hit points, regardless of the type of shield they are connected to. Installing a shield capacitor has the same Repair DC and time as the type of shield it is being connected to. Multiple shield capacitors can be installed, 3 taking up a defensive equipment slot. Only one shield capacitor can be activated by a crew member, however if the ship has multiple capacitors and several crew members, each crew member could activate a capacitor on their turn.
PDC: 1 HD 15, 3 HD 17; min ship size gargantuan: 5 HD 19 , 7 HD 21, 9 HD 23; min ship size colossal: 11 HD 25, 15 HD 27, 19 HD 29, 25 HD 31.

Speed Burst
For 2 rounds, the ship can increase tactical speed to 5000 ft, but suffer -2 to Pilot checks for maneuvers. The ship can also, while at warp speed, temporarily increase warp speed to warp 9 for 1 hour, using all 6 nacelles, but afterwards, can only travel at warp 4 for 2 hours as safety systems engage.

Phaser Type 5
Phasers are the main offensive weapons of the Federation, using nadian based phased energy that fire beams, capable of variable energy output. Usually mounted in a low profile turret to allow greater field of fire. Type 5 phasers are similar to Type 4, except they had a little more control over varying damage level, and had improved range. Able to change damage by lowering the number of die to a minimum of 2d10 as a free action once per round.
Damage: 12d10

Photon Torpedo
Photon torpedoes are anti-matter weapons with variable yields. These weapons usually draw their anti-matter from the equipped ship's own anti-matter supplies. These torpedoes require special containment and feeding systems to load and unload the anti-matter after a fight.
At its lowest setting, the torpedo can do 3d20 to a single target, or deal this damage to a 2000 ft square, and can increase damage by 1 die up to a maximum of 12d20, but reduce the maximum radius by 100 ft per die increase, Reflex save DC 19 for half damage when set for an area.. The damage can be to the maximum radius, or to a single target. These weapons are very dangerous in an atmosphere and are usually banned from planetary use except in special circumstances. If used in a planetary atmosphere, deals damage to an area +50% greater, and if set for a single target, deals half damage to a 100 ft area, and Reflex saves in an atmosphere is increased to 21 for half damage. If the ship loses all power while in battle, there is a 50% chance that a loaded torpedo loses containment and it detonates, dealing damage to the equipped ship, ignore its armour hardness.

Hermes Class Scout
The Hermes is based on the Saladin class hull, but strips out most of the weapons and has more powerful sensors installed, used as scouts and early surveyors in Starfleet. The Hermes externally is virtually identical to the Saladin, except for missing four phasers and the torpedo launchers, the sensor dish is slightly larger. This makes logistics much lower for areas where Saladins and Hermes both operate out of, and training crew between the two classes is greatly reduced.
The Hermes has a saucer diameter of 417 feet, with total length of 795 feet with the nacelle, height of 197 ft, total of 15 decks.

Heavy Ditanium Alloy (PL5-6)
Heavy Ditanium alloy is an alloy that was used to replace titanium, combining Duranium into the alloy to create a new type of armour and superstructure, in the use of military craft and especially space craft as it had some inherent abilities to block some of the radiation encountered in space.
Hardness: 20
Base Purchase Modifier: 14 + one-half base purchase DC of the starship.

Enhanced Sensors
The sensors on the equipped ship are more powerful than standard, able to operate at double the range of normal for their class, and grants +2 to Computer Use checks.

Agile Ships
All Star Trek ships are more agile for their size, gaining a +1 Dodge bonus to Defense as long as the ship moves.

Easy to Repair
Due to the nature of the technology in this universe, especially Federation or Borg technology, all repairs have DC reduced by -4, and time reduced by 25%.

Swiss-Army Tech
Due to the adaptable nature of the technology, and skilled engineers, especially those in the Federation, a piece of technology can be jury-rigged and modified to do something it wasn't originally intended to do, as long as it is within reason (GM discretion), such as modifying the deflector array into a type of energy weapon, albeit limited use. Modifying a device this way means it can not be used for its original purpose at the same time, and requires a Knowledge: Technology check DC 18 and Repair check DC 21 and 5 +1d6 minutes for moderate changes (such as deflector array being used as a means to emit a type of energy as a weapon); while more extensive modifications require a Knowledge: Technology check DC 25 and Repair check DC 30, and 30 +2d10 minutes. This type of modification means the item is unable to be used for its original purpose until it has been restored to its original configuration.

Shield Dependent
Star Trek ships have powerful shields, having the equivalent of Deflector Shields (d20 Future pg 42) and provide bonus HP against all attacks equal to 20 HP / starship HD + 25% HD, for example, a ship with 5 HD (100 HP) will have shields with 125 HP. However as they have developed incredible powerful shields, they are a bit lacking in the armour department, suffering -2 hit dice per category and subtype. There are a few exceptions to this rule, being Klingon, Dominion and Hirogen ships which have standard hit dice for their subtype and category, with a few notable other ships, such as the Defiant class.

Variants
Cygnus Subclass
The Cygnus is a Hermes variant designed for command and diplomatic couriers. The ships have improved communications, Control and Command systems and guest quarters and spaces for diplomatic meetings, and guest quarters are improved and lavish for diiplomats.
Make following changes to Hermes or Hermes Refit:
Increase crew capacity to 90 (usually diplomats and their staff);
Increase passenger capacity to 30;
Reduce cargo capacity to 350 tons;

Diplomatic Suite
The ship has improved built in translator systems, databases and other amenities for improved diplomatic relations. Federation diplomats assigned to the ship gain +2 to their checks.

C&C Suite
Captains, or higher ranked officers operating on the ship, either on the bridge or in the C&C have talents and abilities used for commanding or co-ordinating crew and ships improved. For talents that normally affect a specific number of people, now affect an equal number of ships, range is multiplied by 1,000, and any bonuses provide gain +1, and their checks gain +2.

Hermes Refit
The Hermes Refit released in the 2270s, saw some improvements, similar to the Constitution class, improved phasers, warp drive, computer systems. With these improvements, the sensor/deflector dish that hang from the bottom of the hull is now integrated into the hull, removing that weakness from the design. The Refit is also incorporates Duranium into the design, making the starship more resilient. With the improvements, the phasers can be linked together to all fire in the forward arc instead of only a single pair, giving it a heavier strike capability in the forward arc, improving the chance of a quick kill, but reduces its ability to fire in other arcs.
Make following changes to Saladin:
Increase Hit Dice to 76d20 (1520), shields to 1875;

D7 Class Klingon Battle Cruiser
A class of battle cruiser in service with the Klingon Imperial Fleet during the 23rd century, introduced by Chancellor L'Rell after the Klingon-Federation War in 2257. Built along the lines of classic Klingon design, a bulbous front section that contains bridge, several other systems and some weapons, connected to the rear main section by a narrow, long 'neck', with wing-like structures on the sides of the rear section, angling down that end in angular warp nacelles, giving it an avian-like form. Armed with 2 fixed forward disruptors and a photon torpedo launcher, with excellent armour, and shielding for protection, with a top light speed of Warp 9, if only for 20 minutes, typically cruises at warp 7 to 8. The forward section contained the primary photon torpedo launcher, a magnetic pulse emitter, while disruptor cannons were fitted to the joining point of the warp nacelle pylons meet the main body. A small superstructure is fitted on the top at the rear of the main section, located above the four-ported impulse engines giving it decent maneuverability, which includes the shuttle bay, with room for four to six standard sized shuttles. The D7 lacked cloaking devices, as after the Klingon-Federation War rendered them somewhat useless thanks to the U.S.S. Discovery, although versions would see cloaking devices installed again after fixing the vulnerabilities of the original designs.

In Coreline, the Klingon Empire used any of these old ships that were available to maintain order and protect themselves during the chaotic first few weeks. While the Klingon Empire stabilized, with some help from the Federation, some Klingons from the era of Captain Kirk that weren't happy with an alliance with the Federation, took as many ships as they could, including large amounts of D7s, and created splinter groups of raiders, attacking the Federation and others.
The Klingon Empire itself manufactures D7s for export, since the technology is obsolete, in limited quantities for a few of its allies and a number were unloaded on the Black Market to gain some quick capital in the first year after the 23 Hours.

Sensors: Class IV, targeting system
Communications: Radiotransceiver, subspace transceiver
Weapons: 2 disruptor cannon type 2, 1 photon torpedo launcher (100 torpedoes), magnetic pulse emitter
Grappling Systems: tractor beam

Combat
D7s will try to lead combat with the Magnetic Pulse emitter followed with a photon torpedo to rip through weakened shielding, then following attacks will alternate between two disruptor cannon attacks and disruptor cannon with photon torpedo.
If more than one D7 working together, they will stagger their Magnetic Pulse emitter attacks so that the multiple strikes overwhelm the target's containment fields causing warp core breach faster so the group can focus on next target. One ship will typically try to draw the fire of the target while the other moves to a position to make its next magnetic pulse attack, then the second target will draw the target's attention while the first ship will break off for its magnetic pulse while cloaking.

D7 mk2
The second version of the D7 saw improvements in weapons and redesigned impulse engines, improved shields, but reduced warp speed. The disruptor cannons are replaced with heavy disruptor cannon type 2s, still fixed forward plus two disruptor array type 2s are installed to allow it to attack foes in all directions, heavier shields are installed, the magnetic pulse emitter was removed on newly built ones, although refitted ones retained it. Cloaking devices were also installed on mk2s after a short lived alliance between the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire was made before it broke down, which provided the Romulans with D7s.
Make the following changes to D7 to make a D7 mk2:
Replace shields with heavy shields, increase shield hit points to shield 5700 hp;
Replace disruptor type 2 with heavy disruptor cannons type 2;
Add 2 Disruptor Array Type 2s;
Remove Magnetic Pulse on newly built ones, optional on refitted models;
Reduce maximum warp speed to Warp 7.5;
Add Cloaking Device;
PDC: +2

Combat
D7 mk2 follow similar tactics as the originals, except instead of using the magnetic pulse weapon, they'll start combat cloaked if they can, or after a phaser and photon torpedo attack, will cloak to move into a better position to make its next attack. Groups will cloak half its forces and alternate between groups attacking and cloaked to regenerate shields and make repairs if required.

Akif Class
This variant of the D7 were D7s sold to the Romulan Star Empire, modified with Romulan operating systems and fitted with a cloaking device. These were only used by the Romulan Star Empire during the 23rd century when the Klingons and Romulans had an alliance, before relations broke down.

There are a few exceptions to this rule, being Klingon, Dominion and Hirogen ships which have standard hit dice for their subtype and category, with a few notable other ships, such as the Defiant class.

Disruptor Cannon Type 2
Disruptors are a type of energy weapon, typically thoron-based giving them a typically green coloured energy bolt, with high damage potential, but lack the multiple settings, and are capable of only 2 power levels. They are shorter ranged than phasers, and not as accurate, but deal greater damage. Can switch between 6d12 lower power or 12d12 full power shots.

Magnetic Pulse
This is an experimental weapon developed by the Klingon Empire in an attempt to create an ultimate weapon. It failed to meet expectations, but if used wisely it can be a devastating weapon.
This energy weapon fires a specialized pulse of energy contained within a magnetic field that upon impact with a target, it causes damage to the shields and partly passes through them to damage the hull. The weapon also destabilizes the magnetic containment fields of the anti-matter pods of ships with matter/anti-matter power sources. The weapon deals 5d20 points of energy damage to shields plus half damage direct to the hull, ignoring half the hardness provided by the armour unless the armour has a magnetic protection in it, or the ship has a magnetic field or shields activated, in which case damage to hull and shields is halved. The target hit must make a Fortitude save DC 17 +1 per times hit by the Magnetic Pulse. Ships get a base Fortitude save bonus based on type (ultralight -1, light +0, mediumweight +1, heavy +2, superheavy +3. Ships do not use pilot's Fortitude bonus or modifiers). On a failed save the target's anti-matter pods start to destabilize, causing power reductions, with a 50% chance of causing a warp core breach in 1d6+2 rounds. Engineers must make a Repair check DC 30 + 1/times the ship was struck with a Magnetic Pulse to repair the containment systems. During this time, the ship suffers -25% speed (rounding down to nearest 500 ft), reduce weapon damage by 25%, range by 25%.
These weapons are large, and slow to fire, requiring at least a destroyer to mount even one (minimum ship size colossal, type light, subtype destroyer or larger) and takes up two weapons worth to the limit that the ship can carry. The weapon can only be fired once every other round, suffers -4 to attack rolls as the weapon is inaccurate.

Photon Torpedo
Photon torpedoes are anti-matter weapons with variable yields. These weapons usually draw their anti-matter from the equipped ship's own anti-matter supplies. These torpedoes require special containment and feeding systems to load and unload the anti-matter after a fight.
At its lowest setting, the torpedo can do 3d20 to a single target, or deal this damage to a 2000 ft square, and can increase damage by 1 die up to a maximum of 12d20, but reduce the maximum radius by 100 ft per die increase, Reflex save DC 19 for half damage when set for an area.. The damage can be to the maximum radius, or to a single target. These weapons are very dangerous in an atmosphere and are usually banned from planetary use except in special circumstances. If used in a planetary atmosphere, deals damage to an area +50% greater, and if set for a single target, deals half damage to a 100 ft area, and Reflex saves in an atmosphere is increased to 21 for half damage. If the ship loses all power while in battle, there is a 50% chance that a loaded torpedo loses containment and it detonates, dealing damage to the equipped ship, ignore its armour hardness.

The D7A K't'agga is a variant of the D7 battlecruiser, that is very similar in design, however it is slightly shorter, the rear hull is a little larger. It removes the torpedo launcher, carries 7 shuttles, up to 400 troops, allowing it to fill the role of a troop transport as well as combat vessel. To aid in the role of troop transport, the D7A comes with 3 standard transporters (6 person), 5 combat deployment (22 person), 1 evacuation (18 person) and 2 cargo transporters.

Combat
The Painbringer class will usually work with other ships that will act as its escort, it will fire weapons to lower the shields of its target along with its escorts, then transport troops over before moving back out of combat.

Combat Transporters
Combat transporters are rated to transport a large number of troops down to a planet quickly. Each capable of transporting 22 troops in a round, able to cycle and ready to transport another group next round if all troops are able to get onto the pad quickly. With all 5 transporters running at once, a K't'agga can transport 110 troops in a single round if all troops are in position. Typically transports 12 troops per transporter in combat formation each round.

Agile Ships
All Star Trek ships are more agile for their size, gaining a +1 Dodge bonus to Defense as long as the ship moves.

Easy to Repair
Due to the nature of the technology in this universe, especially Federation or Borg technology, all repairs have DC reduced by -4, and time reduced by 25%.

Swiss-Army Tech
Due to the adaptable nature of the technology, and skilled engineers, especially those in the Federation, a piece of technology can be jury-rigged and modified to do something it wasn't originally intended to do, as long as it is within reason (GM discretion), such as modifying the deflector array into a type of energy weapon, albeit limited use. Modifying a device this way means it can not be used for its original purpose at the same time, and requires a Knowledge: Technology check DC 18 and Repair check DC 21 and 5 +1d6 minutes for moderate changes (such as deflector array being used as a means to emit a type of energy as a weapon); while more extensive modifications require a Knowledge: Technology check DC 25 and Repair check DC 30, and 30 +2d10 minutes. This type of modification means the item is unable to be used for its original purpose until it has been restored to its original configuration.

Shield Dependent
Star Trek ships have powerful shields, having the equivalent of Deflector Shields (d20 Future pg 42) and provide bonus HP against all attacks equal to 20 HP / starship HD + 25% HD, for example, a ship with 5 HD (100 HP) will have shields with 125 HP. However as they have developed incredible powerful shields, they are a bit lacking in the armour department, suffering -2 hit dice per category and subtype. There are a few exceptions to this rule, being Klingon, Dominion and Hirogen ships which have standard hit dice for their subtype and category, with a few notable other ships, such as the Defiant class.

Disruptor Cannon Type 2
Disruptors are a type of energy weapon, typically thoron-based giving them a typically green coloured energy bolt, with high damage potential, but lack the multiple settings, and are capable of only 2 power levels. They are shorter ranged than phasers, and not as accurate, but deal greater damage. Can switch between 6d12 lower power or 12d12 full power shots.

K't'inga Class Klingon Battle Cruiser
The K't'inga is based on the D7 hull, built in the late 2200s and early 2300s, serving into the late 2300s, with a command section forward, with a half hemisphere lower section, a long neck connecting it to the rear 'wing', which angles down, with a pair of rectangular warp nacelles hanging below at the ends, a super structure at the rear on top houses impulse engines and shuttle bay. While it appears superficially like the D7, it is longer, more heavily armoured and armed, with more advanced systems.
Armed with forward and rear photon torpedo launchers, fixed forward and rear heavy disruptors, disruptor arrays to function as turrets, and cloaking device is standard, which is an improvement over the D7. The K't'inga makes the backbone of the Klingon Empire fleet, only with birds of prey out numbering them. While being replaced by Vorchas, the K't'inga is still reliable.
First models of the K't'inga were actually slower at warp speeds than the D7s, but had more efficient drives, allowing them to maintain at higher speeds longer.

Combat
These ships are potent combat ships, using their cloaking device to allow them to strike while hidden, leading with a disruptor and torpedo strike, then alternating between mixed disruptors and disruptor and torpedo attacks. When working with multiple K't'ingas or other ships that can cloak, will alternate between half the ships cloaked to get into striking position while other ships attack and lure their targets into position for the cloaked ones, and switch between rolls. This tactic is particularly used when target is protecting something.

Photon Torpedo
Photon torpedoes are anti-matter weapons with variable yields. These weapons usually draw their anti-matter from the equipped ship's own anti-matter supplies. These torpedoes require special containment and feeding systems to load and unload the anti-matter after a fight.
At its lowest setting, the torpedo can do 3d20 to a single target, or deal this damage to a 2000 ft square, and can increase damage by 1 die up to a maximum of 12d20, but reduce the maximum radius by 100 ft per die increase, Reflex save DC 19 for half damage when set for an area.. The damage can be to the maximum radius, or to a single target. These weapons are very dangerous in an atmosphere and are usually banned from planetary use except in special circumstances. If used in a planetary atmosphere, deals damage to an area +50% greater, and if set for a single target, deals half damage to a 100 ft area, and Reflex saves in an atmosphere is increased to 21 for half damage. If the ship loses all power while in battle, there is a 50% chance that a loaded torpedo loses containment and it detonates, dealing damage to the equipped ship, ignore its armour hardness.

Defender of Honour
When fighting to defend an ally, increase bonus to attack rolls by +1 and increase damage by +1 die. If within 1000 ft of designated ally, can make a Reflex roll DC equal or greater than the attacker's attack roll, the ship moves to intercept the attack and suffers the damage instead.

K'T'inga Mk2
The Mk2 is an early to mid 2300s upgrade to the K'T'inga, adding improved targeting systems, minor upgrades to the hull and shielding, reduction in crew compliment and improved warp drive speeds.
Make following changes to K'T'inga to create a Mk2:
Increase HD to 208d20 (4160 hp), shields 7800 hp;
Increase Hardness to 32;
Reduce crew compliment to 350;
Increase maximum warp speed to 8.5 for a maximum of 20 hours;
Add Improved Targeting System (increase attack bonus for all weapons by +2

Add Concussive Charge weapon (mine type weapon with 10 mines);
Add Relentless Assault;
PDC: +2

Relentless Assault
As a standard action, the engineer can divert massive amounts of energy from the ship's engines and divert it to the weapons, temporarily shutting down the warp drive. For the following 5 rounds, the warp drive is unavailable, however the ship's phasers deal 50% more damage, have range increased by +1000 feet, and the gunner can make additional attacks with the phasers up to their Dex modifier or a maximum of 4 additional attacks at -5 to attack roll for each additional attack. After the 5 rounds, the warp drive is available, but the phasers lose the fire-linked for 2 rounds (dealing only 12d10).

Disruptor Cannon Type 3
Disruptors are a type of energy weapon, typically thoron-based giving them a typically green coloured energy bolt, with high damage potential, but lack the multiple settings, are shorter ranged than phasers, and not as accurate, but deal greater damage. The Type 3 eskews rapid fire and multiple power levels for some damage improvement and range, switching between 7d12 and 14d12 full power shots.

If failed by 5 or more, ship is stunned for 1d4 rounds, thrown 1d4x500 feet.

K't'inga Mk3
This version of the K't'inga was produced in late 2300s and early 2400s, assigned to experienced commanders that preferred the classic design over the Vorcha. While not quite as powerful as second generation Vorchas and other ships, the K't'inga is still formidable craft. Upgrades include improved automation for reduced crew, which allowed larger troop capacity and larger shuttle bay, upgraded weapons and engines. The armour has been updated, and the shields have a modification as an experiment for possible use on other ship designs.
Make following changes to K't'inga or K't'inga mk2:
Increase HD to 210d20 (4200 hp), shields 7875 hp;

K't'inga Flight Deck Carrier
This variant of the K't'inga changes the battlecruiser into a light carrier, enlarging the rear hull vertically to allow for a through deck hanger. Troop barracks are given over to pilots, flight crew and deck hands for the hanger. Storage is given over to supplies for the carried shuttles and fighters. As a support craft, it has limited weapons, carrying four Disruptor arrays and a single torpedo launcher. In addition to carrying shuttles and fighters, it can release a burst of tachyons to temporarily reveal any cloaked vessels in the area.

Combat
These craft are support ships, launching carried fighters and combat shuttles before cloaking to avoid combat. If suspected cloaked craft in the area, it will use its Tachyon Pulse to temporarily reveal the location of cloaked ships.

Flight Deck
The ship has a flight deck instead of a shuttle bay, with openings at the front and back, which allows for craft to launch and land at the same time safely, typically assigning one direction for each. The ship carries a mix of fighters and shuttles, capable of carrying a craft up to 500 ft long, but takes up much of its space. Can carry up to 2 craft up to 500 ft long, if narrow enough to fit inside, otherwise 20 craft up to 100 ft long. Or an additional 1 craft for every 20 feet under 100 ft long. Capable of launching up to 4 craft per round, and having 2 craft landing. Two tractor beams allows for safe landing of two craft at same time if they are disabled.

Rapid Repairs
Any carried craft can be repaired in 25% less time (stacking with Easy to Repair), and repair checks repair double the HP.

Tachyon Pulse
As a full round action by a science officer, the ship can produce a Tachyon Pulse that fills a 10,000 ft area centered on the ship, revealing the location, general size (ship type such as ultralight, light, etc) of any cloaked ship, allowing them to be attacked as normal, but doesn't allow targeting bonuses from systems unless ship is equipped with tachyon based/enhanced sensors. Cloaked ships are only revealed for 1d6+1 rounds before the tachyons dissipate. Useable once every other round. If the equipped ship is part of a group of ships creating a tachyon detection grid, search bonuses for detecting cloaked vessels for the whole group gain +2, and the duration to detect cloaked vessels via the tachyon detection grid, or Tachyon Pulse, or any other similar systems designed to detect cloaked objects is doubled.

The Ruin Of Our Enemies
If the equipped ship destroys an enemy target (deals the attack that reduces target's HP to 0 or lower), all allied carried craft that are already in the fight (launched, not to be launched or currently landed that round), deal an extra +3 die of damage for all non missile/torpedo/mine weapons for 1d4+1 rounds.

I.K.S. K'Acog
The IKS K'Acog is a K't'inga class battlecruiser that served during the 24th century. The ship was skilled at hit and run attacks using its cloaking device. It is capable of decloaking, firing its weapons quickly and recloaking, however this costs it the ability to raise shields. In the Prime Timeline, the K'Acog was destroyed by Captain Korris and his fellows when they hijacked the Talarian freighter Batris. In Coreline, the K'Acog serves proudly in the Klingon Defense Force, protecting its boarders from raiders and pirates.
When in combat, it will cloak, change location then decloak, attack, and cloak again and move to another location.
Use stats for K't'inga Mk2 with following changes:
Rapid Cloak/Decloak;
Attack From the Shadows;
Increase attack roll by +2;
PDC +1 Unique

Rapid Cloak/Decloak
The equipped ship can cloak or decloak as a free action in combinate with a move.

Attack From the Shadows
The K'Acog's crew has modified their cloaking device and other systems to allow the ship to rapidly decloak to attack and cloak again. When making a single attack in the round, the ship can decloak, make its single attack, at +2 to attack roll, plus any other bonuses for stealth or surprising the target, then cloak again after the attack, and can still move, thus any opponents that are after the K'Acog in initiative order can't attack the K'Acog unless they can detect a cloaked vessel, although they can attempt to attack where the K'Acog appeared, but it usually moves after making the attack. However the ship's shields do not activate, thus if an opponent makes an attack of opportunity, such as from a point defense system, damage is dealt to the hull instead.
Can only make this attack once per round.

Adventure Ideas

Guard The Construction
The United Federation of Planets Engineering Corp is setting up a mining station in a remote sector that is rich in various resources, but Starfleet couldn't afford to send a ship to stay in the area. A starship is only able to pass through the system as part of its patrol once a week for 30 hours only.

Hook
The UEF Engineering Corp is hiring allies and independent forces to guard the mining station and the construction ships building it until its finished. There are pirates and raiders in the area and need to be either chased off, or defeated.

The PCs could be heading to this system on purposes for other reasons, or accidentally (minor disruption to FTL system, or running out of fuel) and upon entering are contacted by UEF Engineering Corp to see if they are friendly or hostile. If friendly, ask if the PCs will act as guards until the next visit from the Starfleet ship patrolling the area.

Rewards
The Engineering Corp is willing to repair any damages suffered while protecting the site, plus any salvage from attackers.

Klingon Ex-Patriots
Thanks to the Cluless Virus, Klingons from multiple points in the Timeline appeared throughout Klingon space and outside it. Many from the mid to late 2200s appeared, including those that looked more human, thanks to the virus that affected many during the Augment experiments that was cured by the crew of the NX-01 Enterprise, and they find the current situation of the Klingon Empire being allies with the Federation and other groups that were enemies in their time. They took what ships they had, and any other like minded groups and left the Empire to act as pirates, mercenaries, or create their own fiefdoms where they could. Some believe themselves to be true Klingons and fight the false High Council currently in power. Well off and larger Ex-Patriot groups will have several D7s as their flagships, and really lucky groups will have D7 mk2s with its cloaking device.

Roaming Marauders
Single to small fleets of these Ex-Patriot Klingons have been attacking civilian trade routes of traditional Klingon Empire enemies, such as the Federation, the Romulan Star Empire, and others, raiding transports, taking slaves, or attacking small military ships and facilities for supplies or for the Glory of the Empire.

The PCs could be hired by the affected governments/military organizations to investigate/patrol affected areas, and destroy any of these Marauders. Or might be hired by local planetary/system governments or transport companies that are being attacked to protect next convoys or their area of influence to protect it.

Can scale the Klingon marauders that attack from a single ship to a small fleet of up to 10. Ships range from anything made pre 2350, but mostly mid to late 2200s, the TOS and Movies era (when the USS Enterprise and Enterprise A served), although some 2100s ships might make up support ships or for lower level PCs.

Rewards
Major governments (Federation/Starfleet, Romulan Star Empire, etc) or local system governments can offer monetary rewards for destroying a number of ships, greater if civilians/freighters not damaged. Local system or planetary governments can't offer as much, but may off discounts on services available in their system.
If the PCs capture any of the ships, they can keep or sell the ships as long as it was not a major government/organization hired them, as they will want the ships. But any cargo on the ships are granted to the PCs. The crews, depending on PCs moral codes, and who hired them, can be turned in for any bounties, or sold for slavery.

Dethrown the Despot
A group of Klingons have used force to take over a small colony or station, making the inhabitants their virtual slaves for entertainment and labour. A distress call was sent out when the Klingons first showed up, but afterwards all communications are cut off, except for communications controlled by the Klingons.

The PCs could have received the original distress call, or they were told about it from a contact that deals with the affected colony/station. Or the PCs might have come to the colony/station for another purpose only to discover it is now run by Klingon marauders. The Klingons will have ground forces consisting of half the crew of the ship(s) in orbit, while the rest remain on the ship(s) in orbit that maintains control. The leader of the group will be found in the fanciest, by Klingon standards, building, typically with a personal body guard.

Will the PCs use brute force and fight the Klingons, use more subtle methods to infiltrate or cause infighting? Or leave the colonists to suffer, or contact authorities to deal with them?

Rewards
The rescued colony/station will do what they can to pay the PCs, most likely with supplies, taken from the defeated Klingons that wasn't already theirs taken by them, off repairs to the PCs equipment and ship(s). They would also offer to allow their colony/station to function as a location for the PCs to build a base.
