Stage II: Engineering

MISSION BRIEFING
Team Strength: 75–100 Points We can delay the hijackers’ arrival at their destination by shutting down the warp core. The emergency shutdown procedure isn’t complicated, but needs to be done in a specific order. There are four steps: First, cut off the matter/antimatter supply upstream. Next, stop the reactant injectors. Third, flush the remaining plasma from the conduits and vent it overboard, then lastly shut down the core itself. The hijackers must be aware that we’re going to try something like this, so we need to be prepared for heavy resistance.

We can delay the hijackers’ arrival at their destination by shutting down the warp core. The emergency shutdown procedure isn’t complicated, but needs to be done in a specific order.

MAP SETUP
A) Player Deployment Area B) Warp Core (Place where shown) C) Consoles (Random Placement)

MISSION PARAMETERS
Objective	Shut Down the Core: Access the consoles in proper sequence and shut down the warp core. If the core has not been shut down by the end of Round 5, the Mission is considered a Failure.
Altered Conditions	Refer to previous Mission outcomes.
Mission End	The Mission ends at the end of Round 5, or as soon as the core is successfully shut down.

SUCCESS

A cold restart will take hours, so we’ve bought ourselves some time. But with the core shut down, main power is now offline. This means no lights, and emergency life support only from here on out.
All subsequent Missions have Line of Sight reduced to Range 2.

FAILURE

We were prevented from shutting down the core by overwhelming force.
Increase Advantage by 1.

ADVERSARIES
Round	Strength	Deploy	Orders	Reinforcements
Setup	75–100 Points, and for each level of Advantage, roll once on the Reinforcements Table with a +2 modifier	Roll 1d6	Attack	None

SPECIAL RULES

Objective Setup: Place a large piece of Blocking Terrain at the center of the back edge of the board to represent the warp core, and four consoles to represent the shutdown terminals.

Attack Orders: Hijackers with Attack orders will prioritize attacking the nearest Away Team model.

Shutdown Sequence: Designate each console with a number from 1 to 4. Roll 1d4 to determine which console must be accessed next. Re-roll all duplicate results.

Console Activation: To activate a console, an Away Team model must be touching it, then make an unopposed DIS roll to perform a Use/Interact action.

Engineering Specialization: If one of your Away Team models has the Engineering Specialization, it may roll its DIS check with a +2 modifier when attempting to activate a console.

Command Override: If the ship’s override codes were obtained from the captain, the DIS roll is not needed when activating a console.
