Hello,
Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting various Ancient designs, at a rate of approximately one a week. I used the Babylon 5 Wars 2nd edition War of the Ancients (BW-173, 2001) produced by Agents of Gaming as a reference source for my design conversion. If you think a design is too powerful, too weak, just right, or has an error, please let me know. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Andrew Norris
Knightship (Ancient)
The Kirishiac are a militaristic race and conducted many campaigns against other Ancients. To battle the Ancients, the Kirishiac developed advanced weaponry like the Phased Gravitic Torpedo and superior defenses like the ultra-dense Hardened Armor. The Knightship is smaller than the Lordship and relies on its maneuverability to stay at optimum firing range to make the most of its long range firepower. The Knightship design resembles an egg with some spikes dotting its exterior.

* F/P/A covers Forward, Port and Aft Arcs and F/S/A covers Forward, Starboard and Aft Arcs.
Notes: Hardened Armor follows all A Call to Arms Babylon 5 Space Combat rules unless otherwise noted. A unit with Hardened Armor has the equivalent of a Hull 7 with Beam and Mini-Beam weapons hitting on a 5+. Attack dice rolls of a 6 are not considered automatic hits against a unit with Hardened Armor. In addition, for successful hits, a roll of a 7+ on the standard attack table is necessary to score a critical hit which also counts as a solid hit. If Hardened Armor is critically hit, then the ship is treated as having a standard hull of 6 until it is repaired.
