Appendix: Ship-to-Ship Combat Components

The last few pages of this book contain the components needed to use The Babylon Project's ship-to-ship combat system—whether run during a roleplaying session or as a standalone battle. Included are Ship Control Sheets for eight classes of Earthforce warships (the Cotten, Hyperion, Olympus, Omega, and Nova-classes, along with the "Cotten," "Porcupine," and "Shepherd" transports); five types of alien ships (the Centauri Battle Cruiser and Light Cruiser, the Narn Battle Dreadnought and Heavy Cruiser, and the Minbari War Cruiser); and two typical civilian ships (a large freighter and an interstellar liner). Ship Order Sheets are also provided, along with a sheet of cut-out counters.

The Ship Control Sheets and Ship Order Sheets may be photocopied for use with the game—they come two to a page; photocopy as many as you might need and cut them apart before play. Photocopying a ship's Order Sheet onto the back of its Control sheet is convenient for keeping paperwork under control during the game—if you have access to a double-sided copier (or a local copy shop that will do that), you'll find it handy to do so. Either way, remember that you do need one Ship Order Sheet per ship in play.

The counters are printed in color on heavy stock. Remove them from the book by carefully cutting their page out—for best results, place a sheet of heavy cardboard under the counter sheet, then use a straight edge and a sharp art knife to trim the sheet out, cutting close to the spine of the book. Carefully trim the counters out, again using a sharp art knife for best results.
