I just signed up for the campaign and wanted to go with the Earth Alliance, but I have no idea between Sheridan and Clark (only picked Sheridan because I liked Scarecrow and Mrs King). And since I have yet to get any points changing governments would be painless at this point.....

Are the rules for Sheridan in the SFoS book? He he alone worth fielding a ship?

Yes. He's 1 of 2 special characters in Sky Full of Stars. I haven't used him yet myself, so I can't say how worth it the character is. Looks good on paper though. Let me know what you think, if you use him in a battle.

Check the Campaign rules (top of this forum) for the difference in Choosing an Earth force allied with Sheridan or Clark. The choice really only matters near the end of the campaign, when you've got 2+ control points.

You can then opt to field Sheridan if you allied with him, or the mighty Shadow Omega class ship if you allied with Clark. Its really just a matter of personal fluff preference and if you've always wanted to try out a Shadow Omega model.

But what does Sheridan do?

(In the X-Cam you can only field Sheridan if you have 2+ Control Points)

In SFoS Sheridan does a few things. I can't remember them all, but here's what I do remember:

He increases the priority of whatever ship he is on by 1
He increases the crew quality of his ship, and all ships within a certain radius (I think)
He can re-roll crew quality checks
He increases your init bonus

Stuff like that... The Narn have access to a special character in SFoS also.
