Construction: Use a Chaos Desolator
Class Battleship, but stick 6 gun decks (as used with a Hades or Murder
class cruiser) on either side of the Desolator instead of turrets, 3 on
either side. You may also like to use different bridges on your models to
make them look even more different.

extra 15cm range on all their weapons (excluding ordnance) to a maximum of
60cm, do not suffer a column shift when firing over 30cm but instead for
45cm, and hit with their turrets on a 3+. Also, ships within 15cm and in
base to base contact can fire their weaponry as if they were in a squadron
(excluding ordnance). |
Construction: Use a normal cruiser
base, but stick no gun decks or turrets on. Instead, cover up all the turret
holes (2 on the dorsal deck and 4 either side) with antenna.

Construction: Take two launch bay
components of a Chaos cruiser and cut them in half such that the launch bay
doors are on a triangular piece. Stick these two triangular shaped pieces to
the wide end of a long stand (without base). Also here stick a chaos cruiser
bridge. Stick a turret on the bridge, one on the thin end of the stand and
one on the very end of the stand. Take two Imperial cruiser antenna, still
attached together with the small bit of plastic as when it was bought, and
stick this under the 'hull' near the thin end, but not at the very end.

| Notes: The Psychos were so named
because of the kamakazi fashion in which their captains treated them. As a
result, Physcos get a +1 modifier in boarding actions and count as if they
have 4 hits during ramming actions. |
Construction: Same as the
Penetrator, but use the 'wings' from a Desolator Battleship's Bridge as
opposed to launch bays.

The Fra'al are one of the numerous bipedal-saurian races that infest the areas
of the galaxy beyond the Gothic Sector. While there are clear divergences in the
physical characteristics of these races, they are similar enough to one another
that many have speculated that some sort of "seeder" race passed
through that section of the galaxy many years ago and established numerous
colonies.
The general Fra'al body type seems to be a humanoid body, covered in scales of
apparently random sizes. The scales are colored a mottled green; there seems to
be no variation in coloring between individual Fra'al. (Visual studies under
separate wavelengths suggest that the Fra'al do, however, have great control
over their skin's surface temperature, and Adeptus Scientificus Academian Jonas
has theorized that were we able to see into the infrared range the Fra'al
coloration would be much more apparent. See footnote XR67-#19042Y.) The Fra'al
also has a short, thin tail projecting from the base of the spine; this tail
seems to be vestigal (though some Fra'al wear badges of rank or office upon
theirs; these are the only articles of clothing or adornment that the Fra'al
seem to wear.) The Fra'al, unlike Terran saurians, are warm-blooded creatures;
this falls in line with Academian Truman's postulate that only a warm-blooded
animal is capable of manipulating its environment to the point of developing
intelligence. (See footnote XR67-#8894Q.) The Fra'al have, as yet, only been
seen in video communication, so much of their physiology and culture remains a
mystery. However, they are definitely able to speak any demonstrated Terran
language (often displaying the uncanny ability to become fluent in that language
after only a short exposure.) Their intelligence seems equal or often better to
Terran standard, though they have a notable lack of psychic ability (whether
this is due to a simple lack of genetic potential or a deliberate suppression is
unknown.) Their social interaction appears to follow Pattern F-2 (as defined by
Academian Harcourt, footnote XR67-#7726D.) This type, commonly referred to as a
"matriarchy", is based around a single dominant female commanding an
entire tribe/clan/family of sterile males. While evolution along such patterns
usually produces mindless drone slaves, the "servant" males are quite
intelligent and capable of independent thought and action. Fra'al generally take
little or no interest in human affairs, except for very minor trade
communications. The Yarrow Incursion of 120.M38 was the only major military
action involving the Fra'al, and ended in a stalemate.(*) Current plans are to
merely secure the border with the Fra'al systems until the Gothic sector's
pacifation is complete, at which time a full invasion/subjugation/extermination
operation will commence.
(*) In 453.M39, a small Fra'al raiding force conducted operations in the Cyclops
Cluster; the purpose of these raids is unknown. The battleship "Divine
Right" was instrumental in ending the threat.
SHIPS
Fra'al ships show a wide variety of designs, apparently constructed to fit the
whims of the Matriarch funding their construction. A Fra'al battlefleet is
usually made up of a single family unit; additions to the fleet are subsumed
into the family (or, if the newcomer is of sufficient strength, they may make a
bid to control the original fleet.) (I picture them as looking something like
the Narn ships from Babylon 5 Wars.) Their ships are generally tougher than
corresponding Terran ships, with more internal bracing and stronger construction
materials. Also, their point defenses are more effective (one pilot described
them as "filling the sky with stars" in his memoirs.)
Most Fra'al ships carry a variety of different weapons; ordnance, lances, and
weapons batteries all make appearances on most of their ships. While none of
their weapons systems is powerful enough to win a battle on its own, in the
hands of a skilled commander they can prove deadly. Except for any differences
detailed below, Fra'al ships use the same rules as regular ships at all times.
Fra'al escorts, due to the superior construction and durability of Fra'al ships,
are never 'crippled', even if they lost one of their two damage points. They
fight at full capability until destroyed.
WEAPONS
Fra'al Lance technology is inferior to that of other Galactic races; Fra'al
lances hit on a 5+, as opposed to a 4+.
Fra'al torpedoes are more powerful than Terran types; Fra'al torpedoes cause
_two_ hits per torpedo, as opposed to only one. (Only one critical hit can be
caused per torpedo, though.)
Fra'al 'fighters' are similar to Ork craft, in that their ships serve as both
fighters and bombers. However, there are some notable differences, as Fra'al
ships are more balanced between space superiority and strike missions.
 | Fighters which attack a Fra'al fighter counter roll 1d6; on a 4+, they are
able to defeat the Fra'al ships rapidly enough that they need not return to
their carrier, and are left on the table. (Eldar fighters only roll once;
this roll "replaces" their usual roll. Ork fighta-bommaz roll
normally.)
| Fra'al fighters act as standard bombers when attacking ships.
| Fra'al fighters move at 20cm per turn.
| They behave as fighters in all other respects (effects on other ordnance,
etc.)
| | | |
Most Fra'al ships carry launch bays slung underneath their hulls, in a ventral
position. Treat these as dorsal mounts for critical hit purposes; a 'dorsal
weapons damaged' result would also affect ventral weapons.
BOARDING
Fra'al seem to show a notable hatred of Chaos followers; the reasons for this
are unknown, as is so much else about this race. If a Fra'al ship is involved in
a boarding action against Chaos ships, it adds +1 to its die roll.
Fra'al escorts, due to the superior construction and durability of Fra'al ships,
are never 'crippled', even if they lost one of their two damage points. They
fight at full capability until destroyed.
