A revised Version of the Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda

A revised Version of the Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda

I was looking at the Andromeda Ascendant I generated for Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda and the notes from the series and the Notes from RPGgammer.com that much of the Andromeda below has been generated out of. I made some changes and thought that I would share them with you. The TV version of the Andromeda has forty missile launchers capable of firing eight missile each per second, where I limited the ships to firing only five per round.

In this my latest version of the Andromeda, that is generated to be as close to the version of the ship, that can be generated in combat. In this version in a single round can fire enough missiles to cause damage to a large target the size of the Second Death Star Battle Station from Star Wars the Return of the Jedi that I have generated for the Spacedock crossovers and cause just a hair over 2% damage to an unshielded Death Star. The ship can launch 54.5% of its missile payload in one full minute on a target. In a scenario of attacking the Death Star the Andromeda could inflict over 27% damage to the Death Star less if the station has its shields up. Yet a Siege Perilous class Atmospheric Attack Carrier can cause devastating attack destroying the Death Star in a full minute. However the Glorious Heritage-class Heavy Cruiser can take out Darth Vaders fleet (one Super Star Destroyer and six Imperial II Star Destroyer with shields) by firing only 610 Offensive Kinetic Kill Missiles and for the 576 tie fighter that would be launched in defense of the Star Destroyers the High Guards Defensive Kinetic Kill Missiles or Slip fighters would make short work of them. This makes the Glorious Heritage-class a starship killer in the spacedock designs. This attack would take the Andromeda a half minute to a minute to destroy the fleet and fighters with a round to reload the launchers after depletion.

I figure the average missile load would be 500 - 1000 missile per type more of one than the other and forty Nova Bomb weapons, the average is 726 each type of weapon minus forty Nova Bombs that I guess standard on the Glorious Heritage-class. The number of missiles are designated by the command need and predetermined the number and composition of missiles carried by the ship. I personally would say 60% missiles for anti-starship and 39% offensive missiles the rest would be anti-fighter missiles and 1% Nova weapons unless payload is specifically designated by the mission but I have a good composition listed below.

When the Glorious Heritage-class needs to restock with missiles, smart bullets and mines the ship seeks out an asteroid field and pulls in asteroids and then generates new the missiles, smart bullets and mines in 3.75 days once the production has started. Nova Bomb weapons take about a month to generate just one weapon.

A Federation Galaxy-class can dish Phaser and Photon Torpedoes out 10,400 in damage in an all out barrage but they need to run basic systems only. Here as the Glorious Heritage-class can dish out 39,115 damage in the same amount of time without dropping many systems to minimum. The High Guard starship out guns the Federation starship more than three to one. Yet the Siege Perilous class Atmospheric Attack Carrier with missile alone can cause 153,000 damage, not that it needs to, however it out guns the Galaxy-class starship 14.7 to one in favor to the High Guard Ships and Siege Perilous class against 3.9 times against the Glorious Heritage class. Remember there is always a bigger and baddest starship out there. However a Glorious Heritage class can take down a Galaxy class starships shields in 13 missiles and then take out the ship with an additional 18 missiles fired in a second barrage not that it needed to fire in barrages as the ship clearly has enough launchers.

Revised Ultimate Missiles
The Missiles of the era is different than the Star Trek world as they have their own targeting system and the launcher only are part of the programming of the missile. Although the High Guard Missiles are the most powerful in the known worlds they are the only one’s to use them.

Range: 10/30,000/100,000/300,000
Targeting Systems: Class Beta (Accuracy: 4/5/7/10)
Damage 150
Notes: used as starship killers, but can also be able to cause specific damage to a certain system

Strategic Multiple Warhead Kinetic Missiles (starship scale)
Range: 10/30,000/100,000/300,000
Targeting Systems: Class Beta (Accuracy: 4/5/7/10)
Damage 100 (or 6 separate impacts and the main missile body of 14 damage each)
Notes: Used as starship killers causing random damage. The missile separates into six smaller missiles causing separate damage per impact.

Surface Attack Missiles
Range: 10/30,000/100,000/300,000
Targeting Systems: Class Beta (Accuracy: 4/5/7/10)
Damage 160
Notes: the weapons are capable of causing as much damage on a ship that it does on a planets surface.

Nova Bomb
Range: 10/300,000/1,000,000/3,000,000
Targeting Systems: Class Gamma (Accuracy: 3/4/6/9)
Damage: ?-? 16,000 ?-? (see note)
Nova bombs are the single most powerful weapon in the Commonwealth arsenal. A single Nova bomb into the sun can easily devastate an entire star system. The damage is devastating to any starship with in the sector. This is the ultimate kill weapon of mass destruction.

“Rosanne” Nova Bomb
Range: 10/125,000/400,000/1,200,000
Targeting Systems: Class Gamma (Accuracy: 3/4/6/9)
Damage: ?-? 32,000 ?-? (see note)
This is a modified Nova Bomb that is twice as powerful as the standard Nova weapon with a greatly shortened weapons range. Shamus Harper under Captain Dylan Hunts directions and the guidance of the ships computer avatar constructed the weapon to combat the Magog world ship but it is far more devastating of a weapon in space combat.
