Brakiri Shakara Scout Cruiser

Price: $8.95
Distributor on sale date: 2nd April 2007

Using salvaged technology lifted from one of the numerous battlefields along the Abbai trade routes during the Shadow War, the Im-Rehsa power corporation managed to reverse engineer a few large and bulky versions of the Matriarchate’s communications disruptors. Using these new systems on a hull specifically designed to house them, the Shakara is a lightly armed and armoured scouting vessel that maps out hyperspace routes and passes under enemy sensors.

The rules for the Shakara can be found in issue 43 of Signs & Portents Wargamer

Minbari Troligan Armoured Cruiser

Price: $12.95
Distributor on sale date: 2nd April 2007

Extremely rare and possessing a relatively weak armament for a Minbari frontline warship, the Troligan can nevertheless withstand a huge amount of punishment. In theory, the cruiser was designed to close range with an enemy fleet and, supported by warcruisers and fighters, wreak havoc and throw opponents into confusion as other Minbari ships break them apart. With limited stealth capabilities, Troligan Captains often have to rely more on their thick armour, something that goes against a lot of Minbari philosophy except in certain circles of the Warrior Caste.

The new rules for the revised Troligan can be found in issue 43 of Signs & Portents Wargamer.

ISA Nolo'Tar Ranger Frigate

Price: $9.95
Distributor on sale date: 2nd April 2007

Lightly armed for a Ranger vessel, the Nolo’Tar is a throwback to the generation that survived Valen. Especially useful in training missions and evacuations, this transportation frigate became a common sight during Valen’s great Shadow War but fell out of use during the following thousand years. It was resurrected quickly when the Rangers began to deploy in larger numbers again during the next Shadow War, mostly to ferry refugees from planet to planet when the war drew too near.

The rules for the Nolo'Tar can be found in issue 43 of Signs & Portents Wargamer.

 

Ghaz-

I still play. I am really into the newer earth stuff but not so inlove with alot of the other newer models. I think mongoose is starting to suffer from the "let's make more models...even if we don't need them" syndrome.

Personally I am hoping that cold navy starts back up under damage control games.... the wave 2 "sulaco" style ships were awesome.

-ender502

The new ships are kind of "eh" but I am hopeful that they are being used as learning experiences for the rehab work on the 'core' ships that has been  promised.

The Troligan is down right nasty if not overpowered. I like the ISA frigate as it gives me something at skirmish level that I can actually use.

Give me the Vreee and their flying saucers of Doom.

Brakiri Kabrokta Assault Cruiser

Price: $14.95
Distributor on sale date: 14th May 2007

Designed to enter enemy systems and launch devastating hostile takeovers, the Kabrokta requires effective escorts to complete its mission. However, it is known as a real bruiser in fleet actions, overwhelming enemies with its graviton bursts and heavy combat laser.

The Kabrokta is a perfect multi-role warship, able to take on powerful enemy vbessels in a straight duel, or launching boarding actions and planetary assaults with equal ease.

Earth Alliance Myrmidon LCV

Price: $9.95
Distributor on sale date: 14th May 2007

The Myrmidon is essentially a cross between a patrol cutter and a very heavy fighter. While it is unable to carry large-scale weaponry of any variety, it remains very well-armed for its size. The powerful advent of pulse technology offered a fantastic avenue for the LCV project, streamlining the vessel and giving it adequate firepower against other ships in its general theatre of engagement.

This blister pack contains two Myrmidon LCVs, for use in Crusade Era fleets.

ISA Blue Star

Price: $9.95
Distributor on sale date: 14th May 2007

The Blue Star is less intimidating than its bigger brothers, but can hold its own against raiders and would-be assassins. Using its speed and dual jump drive systems, the ship is far more comfortable running from a battle to call upon the nearest contingent of ISA ships if necessary – or the White Star fleet if possible.

This blister pack contains three Blue Stars.

Brakiri Courami Dreadnought

Price: $39.95
Distributor on sale date: 28th May 2007

Using additional gravitic engine drives to fuel its terrible banks of graviton beams, the Corumai can summon staggering recycling rates from otherwise slow-firing weapons. If the banks of deadly beams do not dissuade an enemy from drawing near, the rows of supercharged graviton pulsars will. Little can withstand the focussed fire of a Corumai, and if the first volley does not finish them, the second will.

The Courami is a War level ship that brings some serious hitting power to Brakiri fleets.

The full rules for the Courami can be found in Signs & Portents 45.

Hurr Gunship

Price: $19.95
Distributor on sale date: 28th May 2007

Another class of ship that varies from vessel to vessel, the Hurr are not restricted to hull chassis designs when they decide to build their naval warships. From jagged edged corvette-esque runners to cylindrical horrors that sail through the Republic’s small borders, the term ‘gunship’ is the only thing appropriate to title them all. Bristling with ammunition-wasting ballistic cannons, the Hurr are happy to live uncomfortably and dangerously within these ships if it means they can put just a few more guns in the finished product.

Pak'ma'ra fleets may also use the Hurr Gunship, replacing its ballistic cannon with a powerful array of plasma weapons.

The full rules for the Hurr Gunship (and its pak'ma'ra variant) can be found in Signs & Portents 45.

Drazi Firehawk Advanced Cruiser

Price: $12.95
Distributor on sale date: 28th May 2007

The Firehawk is an advanced-science attack cruiser that combines the success of the contained fusion bulb of the Stormfalcon with the speed of the Sunhawk. Packing a surprisingly small number of weapons systems for an ‘advanced’ Drazi vessel, the Firehawk instead relies on ‘quality over quantity’ in the fact that its weapons can fully bisect a ship in seconds. Not quite the same size as the multi-talented Stormfalcon, the advanced cruiser has but one purpose – to bring its weapons to bear on a single target and eliminate it.

The full rules for the Firehawk can be found in Signs & Portents 45.

Abbai Juyaca Dreadnought

Price: $19.95
Distributor on sale date: 4th June 2007

The Juyaca was designed and constructed solely as their first utterly offensive vessel in response to the calling of a holy purge, or juyaie, of the Drakh – after they virus-bombed Earth. It was such an overwhelming wish for the ruling council of the Abbai to somehow stop the Drakh from harming the galaxy that these powerful vessels were placed at the forefront of every construction yard and spacedock capable of building them.

The full rules for the Juyaca can be found in Signs & Portents 45.

Brakiri Riva Super Heavy Fighter

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 24th August 2007

Using its bow-mounted grav beam on the approach and its aft-mounted gravitic bolts as it passes by, the Riva can cause significant damage to a lightly armoured vessel and be agile enough to avoid suffering at the hands of nearby enemies. The Riva made good account of itself against the Dilgar where massed wings made devastating attack runs.

This blister pack contains four Rivas.

Psi Corps Shadowcloak Escort

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 24th August 2007

Spy ships of the highest calibre, the Shadowcloak was an experimental vessel used by Psi Security to telepathically ‘eavesdrop’ on other hyperspace traffic without being seen or noticed. It looks at first glance – even electronically – like a Tethys police cutter, but packs a much different punch inside of it. Crewed wholly by telepaths trained in the ability to pick up on ambient thought patterns floating through hyperspace, each Shadowcloak is a mobile listening post.

ISA Liandra Battle Frigate

Price: $9.95
Shipping date: 24th August 2007

A heavily modified hull, the Liandra was fitted with several experimental weapons and control systems by the Anla’shok just after the Earth-Minbari War and put into storage and forgotten during the rise of the next Shadow War. It was used only in few minor missions, until a time where it would later be needed by a controversial young Ranger named David Martel in his battles against a mysterious foe called ‘The Hand of God’.

Jump Gate

Price: $19.95
Shipping date: 24th August 2007

To counter the vast distances between the stars, the civilised races of the galaxy have developed a complex network of jump gates, allowing a ship to traverse the strange other-realm of hyperspace to get from one world to another.

Drazi Fireraptor Battleship

Price: $19.95
Shipping date: 24th August 2007

The Fireraptor is a far more typical use of the influx of technology from the ISA that the governments of the former League have planned. However, while it sports the latest artificial gravity and enhanced systems the ISA has been able to provide, it is painfully clear to any fleet analyst that the Drazi have not learned a damned thing. The Drazi have simply developed a larger and more powerful version of their existing craft, concentrating on speed and agility with weapons focussed forwards.

Hey, sweet! A jump gate!

(Actually, that is kinda cool. I may want one or two for BFG, just 'cause.)

GAIM INTELLIGENCE

In order to protect the number of Queens flying through the galaxy, the Gaim designed high-science versions of their oldest weaponry to fit to the newest vessels of their fleet. Continuing to use older particle-throwing scatterguns as defence turrets, they modified the firing capacity on larger models to emit laser energy at a similar rate. This new gatling laser vomits a stream of staccato fire faster than the eye can track, almost making it seem like a single constant beam of coherent light. In a similar vein, the old and unreliable packet torpedoes were filled with positively-charged reactive masses instead of the formerly negative ones. Instead of detonating in shards of destructive energy, the bomb fills an area of space with electron-stripping photons at significant ranges – almost assuredly eliminating small craft and fighters. The most interesting and powerful aspect of the Gaim fleets on the move is the use of manned-missiles. Drone pilots are easy to hatch and created to be disposable, so whether they are trying to bring bio-plasma emitters to bear on a target or setting their reactor to overload before burying themselves in the enemy’s hull, they are nothing more than another asset to be spent at the Queens’ whim.

Gaim Shrutaa Queen Battleship

Price: $19.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Most commonly seen commanding Gaim war fleets, the Shrutaa is a solid warship, built to protect the Queen inside as she directs the entire battle. Its place is not at the frontline, however, as the Shrutaa relies on its swarming fighters and long-ranged photon bombs to keep enemies at bay.

Gaim Shaakak Queen Light Cruiser

Price: $15.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

A mid-ranged warship, Shaakaks are often deployed in small makeshift squadrons to support a single Shrutaa, though they will also be found leading small strike forces against the enemies of the Gaim. Heavily defended and usually well supported, tackling a Shaakak can be a tricky proposition.

Gaim Shuuka Queen Light Cruiser

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Young Queens rarely have the opportunity to command fleets of their own and are instead usually used to support older Queens in managing over-sized fleets. Occasioanlly, one or more Shuukas will be seen leading a small expeditionary force into enemy territory.

Gaim Stuteeka War Carrier

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

The largest warship without a Queen in the Gaim fleet, the Stuteeka is weakly armoured and in need of constant protection. However, its massive hangers house racks upon racks of Klikkitas, ready to launch within minutes and overwhelm the enemy in sheer numbers.

Gaim Skrunnka Assault Ship

Price: $15.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Designed to batter through defences and launch shuttles filled with vicious assault drones, be it at an enemy ship or enemy-held world, the Skrunnka is tough and can weather the most devastating attacks. It lacks a wide range of offensive weaponry, leading the Queens to wield its legion of assault drones as they would any other ranged system.

Gaim Sataaka Gunship

Price: $15.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

A common fighting vessel in Gaim fleets, the role of the Shataaka is to provide a forward screen behind the fighter fleets, intercepting any enemy capital ships that roam too close to the Queens. It is well armed for such a slight vessel.

Gaim Stak Scouts

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Often the first sight a visitor to Gaim space will be greeted with, the Stak is used to routinely patrol the border of Gaim worlds. In wartime, groups of Stak will work together as they cross into enemy held systems, cataloguing defences and fleet compositions, throwing photon bombs to cause confusion if forced to retreat.

This blister pack contains two Stak Scouts.

Gaim Klikkita Light Fighter

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Small but possessing a powerful plasma reactor subsystem, the Klikkita is crewed by a single drone. Super agile and utterly expendable, Klikkitas are kept dormant in their motherships on massive racks until activated. When released, they create a swarm that is almost impossible to penetrate. If threatened by larger vessels, the Klikkita can overload its reactor, turning it into an extremely powerful crewed missile.

This blister pack contains four flights of fighters.

Gaim Klikkitak Crewed Missile

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Once the Klikkita overloads its reactor, it becomes a deadly weapon, a missile crewed by a drone who has no thought but to give its life for the Queens. Known as the Klikkitak in this configuration, the drone’s only thought is to guide its craft through heavy fire in order to directly impact into the hull of an enemy warship.

This blister pack contains four flights of fighters.

The Gaim ships look very nice, it appears Mongoose hired some decent artist and sculptors. Thanks for posting Ghaz!

Psi Corps Fleet Box Set

Price: $99.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Though in possession of powerful ships, the Psi Corps avoids open confrontation at all costs, preferring to strike from the shadows where the odds turn very much in its favour. However, they do possess military-grade vessels and crew, and limited strikes may be authorised in situations of extreme need.

The Psi Corps was smashed soon after the creation of the ISA, as corruption had riddled its ranks and many members were implicated in both the rise of the Shadows and the tyrannical rein of President Clark which culminated in a civil war. Many high-ranking Psi Corps officials promptly disappeared and it soon became clear that while the Corps had been squeezed out of public life, rogue elements within EarthGov were continuing to support its principles. With its fleet still intact and hidden bases scattered across known space, the remnants of what had been Psi Corps began to gather its strength once more with a series of new and terrifying projects aimed at combining retrieved Shadow technology with humans in order to make the Earth Alliance into a huge empire that no alien race could withstand.

This box set contains an entire 5 point Battle level fleet for the Psi Corps;

1 Psi Corps Mothership
2 Psi Corps Fighter Carriers
1 Shadow Omega
1 Hunter Experimental Warship
2 Chronos Advanced Frigates
12 Flights of Starfuries (Black Omega)

Psi Corps Mothership

Price: $24.95
Shipping date: 10th September 2007

Huge hybrids of the Skylark-class and Bradbury-lambda passenger liners converted to be hyperspace fortresses for hundreds of Psi Corps telepaths, the Motherships are where the real power of the Corps lies. These ships are designed to be mobile hyperspace bases, only ever leaving the alternate dimension for supplies and the very occasional deployment mission. In fact, most of the human governmental populace do not even know they exist. Rigged with some of the most advanced telepath-enhancing technologies the Corps has managed to research, each of the seven Motherships are a base in and of themselves.

Ipsha War Globe

Price: $15.95
Shipping date: 1st October 2007

Arguably the strangest looking warship ever produced by any race within the galaxy, the Ipsha War Globe is a metal ring of magnetic gyroscopics used to contain a powerful singularity within. All Ipsha technology is based on the magnetic containment of these swirling green masses of unstable energy, using them to fuel their machines, arm their weapons, and essentially drive their technology en masse. Having created a powerful atomic reaction inside the magnetic/gravitic coil of their vessels, there is an unbelievable amount of energy at the ship’s disposal.

Lumati Transport

Price: $15.95
Shipping date: 1st October 2007

Driven by a powerful gravitic engine and armed with numerous small electromagnetic weapons, the ship is capable of performing equally well on parade or in battle. Its composite hull structure is very resilient and durable, and its dual-drive jump engine system makes it capable of escaping nearly any situation with little damage. Retreating may not seem like a very fitting choice for the ‘superior’ Lumati, but in such cases they often claim that fighting with an inferior is beneath them.

Drazi Claweagle Direct Assault Frigate

Price: $11.95
Shipping date: 7th September 2007

Possibly the most daring, unique, and probably foolishly designed vessel in the entire Drazi armada, the Claweagle is a small frigate designed to literally attach itself to an enemy ship of larger size in order to slow it down and blast away at the hull with its weapons array. Dreamed up when research scientists overheard off duty Or’fa complaining about the lack of manoeuvrability when having to lug around breaching pods (but also of the pleasure of dealing with the marines inside), the Claweagle project took shape.

Brakiri Cidikar Heavy Carrier

Price: $39.95
Shipping date: 17th September 2007

After seeing the constant streams of Dilgar Thorun fighters swarm over their frontline ships, the Brakiri decided to create a truly massive quintessential carrier to send into any engagement with a high probability of enemy fighter support. The Cidikar brings more fighters than may be truly needed along with a number of powerful weapon systems to a battle.

There's a new Gaim fleet as well.

Oops! Missed that page.

I need to pick up the new edition of ACTA... I love the setting and thought the rules did a lot of things right. They just had enough little annoyances and the 'feel' wasn't alwyas the way I wanted.

That Ipsha war globe is going to see alot of use as a BFG warp gate.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of a Kroot Warsphere.
