	==Lorgan==		==Lorgan==
	A slug like race, the lorgans once controlled a large empire that rivaled the size of the current empire of Ctarl-Ctarl. When the ctarl grew in prominence the two fought in skirmishes, and eventually escalated into a full war. The lorgan were soundly defeated, and many of their previous worlds now belong to the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire. Because of this, many lorgans will outright not work with ctarl, and show open disdain for them. Being slug like lorgans are able to contort and change their body shape, ~~amking~~ them adept at sneaking, and hiding. This factors greatly into their combat abilities, as they favor hit and run, feint and ambush tactics. Most races in galaxy see the lorgan as thieves, pirates, and backstabbers, and as such are often ~~weary~~ of them, and the lorgan return this ~~setiment~~. Special cases include humanity whom the lorgan often have skirmishes with as they expand into each ~~others~~ space, and the ~~nayan~~ who are fast friends to the lorgan.

Grappler Ships

	=Grappler Ships=		=Grappler Ships=

	~~===Special~~ rules~~===~~		Most grappler ships are fighters, or personal ships and as such generally follow the rules for vehicles rather than ships. Ship-to-ship combat should be reserved for giant flagships of pirate or space forces fleets, or else military warships, not the kind of thing your average outlaw will readily be able to get their hands on. The following additional rules apply to ships in the towards stars setting:
	~~Unlike basic ranged weaponry~~, the ~~same number~~ of ~~crew can~~ be ~~assigned~~ to ~~all grappler arms, but each arm's attacks must be rolled separately~~.

	==~~New Tactical Actions:~~==		==Additional Drive Trains==

	~~'''Melee Attack'''~~		Munchausen Drive
	You must be equipped with at least one grappler arm and within 1 VU of another ship to make a melee attack against it. If the arm is using a weapon, weaponry is used for the attack, otherwise brawl is used. When using a melee weapon the weapon's damage and accuracy are added to those of the arm wielding it, while the penetration and critical rating of the weapon replace the arm's.

	~~'''Grab'''~~		Drive Rating: 10 (flying)

	~~'''Parry'''~~		A Munchausen Drive (or any alien counterpart) is used to power the aether and subaether drives that allow for modern space travel. It generally involves powerful reactors

	~~==Weapons==~~		*Falin: A Vehicle with this drive is restricted in how it may move within a planet's gravity. If a vehicle is using this drive within the atmosphere of a planet, it may only make Punch-it actions to accelerate, and may not change its direction. The vehicle must reach momentum 10 to maintain escape velocity. If it fails a test, or attempts to change course while still within the planet's gravity, it goes Out of Control.

	~~===New Ranged Weapon Property===~~		*Sub-Aether mode: A Munchausen Drive allows for a ship to travel through the warp in the same fashion that large ships do, despite the smaller size, thanks to a complex and compact power source.

	''~~'Handheld'''~~		''Due to the limited maneuverability of ships using Munchausen Drives within an atmosphere, they are generally kept in space, either docking at space stations or in orbit. When it is absolutely necessary to land on a planet, large landing platforms are used to make sure they can follow a straight line in and out of the atmosphere.''
	~~Handheld weapons are wielded by grappler~~ ships, in ~~a loophole that gets them past restrictions on ship armament set by the Space Forces. A handheld weapon can only be used by a ship's grappler arm rather than being mounted on the ship itself~~, ~~and is considered mounted~~ in ~~whatever position the arm occupies~~. ~~A handheld weapon with a normal arc gains~~ a ~~wide arc~~, ~~and only requires one grappler arm~~ to ~~carry. A handheld weapon with~~ a ~~narrow arc gains a normal arc~~ and ~~requires two grappler arms to carry. Additionally, handheld weapons only have 5 rounds before they must be discarded or reloaded, and costs 5 less BP~~.

	===~~Melee Weapons~~===		==Additional rules for accessories==
	~~Grappler ships frequently use weapons similar to those used in personal close combat, except scaled up by several orders of magnitude.~~

	~~Grappler weapons are based on the weapons found in the table on page 211 of the D:tD manual~~ with ~~the following adjustments:~~		When building a ship with a Munchausen Drive, environmental seals have a cost of 0.
	~~Damage remains the same. Disruption is equal to Penetration. Accuracy~~ of ~~melee weapons is +~~0~~. The Crit rating of all melee weapons is +5. Cost is dependent on weapon availability~~.

	~~Ubiquitous = 1 BP~~		Void Shields are not negated by ranged attacks made by an opposing ship that also has void shields.

	~~Very Common = 2 BP~~

	~~Common = 3 BP~~

	~~Uncommon = 5 BP~~

	~~Rare = 10 BP~~

	~~Very Rare = 15 BP~~

	~~Mythic Rare = 20 BP~~

	~~==Grappler arms==~~

	grappler arms come in several varieties, ranging from fine manipulators to little more than articulated clubs. All grappler arms can be used as melee weapons, using brawl for the attack roll, but more often they are ~~equipped with additional weapons, resembling those used~~ by humanoids. Manipulator arms are capable of wielding large guns, frequently gigantic pistols, but things like gattling guns and massive rifles have also been seen equipped. Brawling arms are crude things, with only enough articulation to reach around the ship they are equipped to, and fingers only suitable for grasping relatively large objects, frequently requiring even melee weapons to be affixed to them.

	~~'''Manipulator arms:'''~~
	~~damage: 1k1~~
	~~disruption: 2~~
	~~Accuracy: +5~~
	~~Critical: +0~~
	~~Range: Melee~~
	~~Cost: 10~~
	~~Arc: Normal~~
	~~Type: Manipulator~~

	~~'''Brawling arms'''~~
	~~Damage: 4k2~~
	~~Disruption: 4~~
	~~Accuracy: -10~~
	~~Critical: +3~~
	~~Range: Melee~~
	~~Cost: 15~~
	~~Arc: Normal~~
	~~Type: Brawling~~

	~~===New Grappler Type===~~

	'''Reinforced:''' Reinforced arms are sturdier than the basic model, capable of carrying extreme loads, and dealing greater damage when used to bludgeon other ships. Reinforced arms get +1k1 damage, +1 disruptions, cost an additional 5 BP. Additionally, a reinforced arm can wield a two-handed weapon one-handed. A ranged ~~weapon wielded this way does not benefit from the improved arc granted~~ by ~~being handheld, and melee weapons wielded this way have their accuracy reduced by 5~~.

			=Setting Rules=

			==Debts==
			When a player fails a wealth test, they may choose to take a debt instead. This debt turns the failed test into an automatic success, but the player now owe's someone. The money lender could be an existing ally or backer, or a shadier character of the SM's design. Regardless, the character to whom the debt is owed may name their own terms of the debt. Generally, these terms will require another wealth test at +5 be made at a later date (to cover interest), but may require a lower wealth test if it's a debt between friends, or for the player perform a service or complete a specific task rather than pay back the money. Of course, the Towards Stars Setting is full of pirates and outlaws, and a player may opt to never repay a debt. This is the easy way out, but not always the smartest, as it will mean the player loses standing with any allies or backers they welch on (losing a dot in the relevant background if the terms of the debt are not met, until the debt is cleared by some other means), and may even earn them a new enemy. Regardless of what the relationship with the unpaid character becomes, all future wealth tests in the location the unpaid debt was taken are at +10 for the character and anyone associated with him, as they are forced to circumvent the normal channels to avoid the attention of the people they owe.
