Dilgar war supplement
- Thread starter H
- Start date
I wanted it to be different enough from an Avioki you see. The Brikorta, the other ship with a Dilgar era ISD (just) has interceptors. So this got them to protect it's Hull 5. Then the Brakiri figured out how to make a stronger hull and stripped away the interceptors when they made the Avioki.
it's an easy enough change to drop them again and put it back to hull 6. this is after all a first draft. You will note it also has no antifighter, athogh that may have just been a typo, ahem... that said, again it's an improvement that the Avioki gains.
the other two ships I have just done are. . .
Halkara Attack frigate - Raid
A joint initiative with the Abbai, the Halkara was designed as a high speed attack vessel designed to punch a hole in enemy formations, and emerge through the other side Both vessels used the same hull, with slightly differing weapons loadouts. Loosely modelled on the Earth Nova, it's broadsides were fearsome and Dilgar commanders soon learned to make a wide berth of this vessel. Sadly it was difficult to maintain and repair due to conflicting technologies and was soon pensioned out of the service of both fleets. . However this ship was later to be the inspiration for the Brakiri Halik, and the Abbai Bimith

Avrak Frigate - Skirmish
Never a race to miss a trick, the Narn quickly offered their simple, yet effective T'rakk frigate to the Brakiri, for a somewhat inflated fee. With the Brakiri rapidly running out of vessels to continue the war, a deal was struck for a large number of T'rakk hulls to be transferred to Brakiri ship yards. Re-named and re-armed with the new Brakiri Pulsar weapons, this ship saw out the end of the war, often working alongside allied EA vessels in a supporting role.

the hyperions came post Dilgar war, the Nova mid Dilgar War with the plasma weapons.
the Tigers were around as well as the explorer....
Well I would think the Centauri would also be cashing in 
Although both races maybe consoldating their military asests as there are increasing tensions between them.
IIRC the Bolosians had cheap Centauri warships - old Altarians etc..........
are you looking at doing a fleet list for all the main races - ie a Centauri Republic list of the period - I have some ideas re this..................

well, I think their are enough centauri ships in service at this date anyway! I may add a few, but yeah, was considering additions to fleets who weren't nesecarily in the war. this could be a darn big supplement!
ah well it should be - Big War!!! Any luck with images?
mine was 74 pages - you can beat that ................. :wink:
did you get the pdf? 8)
Can never have enough Centauri ships - well you've got my two "support ships" and thinking of a older more system, defence ship Maximus rather than the present fleet defender version
I'll send you stuf!

I wanted to let me inspire by the old AOG Dilgar War Supplement and some other supplements as I remeber Earth had no Laser weapons during the war and was relying on particle and plasma weapons as their main armamend.
I was thinikng of something like this:
Earth Alliance Dilgar War Fleet List:
Patrol
Tiger Class Starfury
Nova Class Starfury
Hermes Courier
Thetys Frigate
Skirmish
Artemis Frigate
Olympus Corvette (Early Version)
Olympus Gunship
Oracle Scout Cruiser
Oracle Light Cruiser
Sagittarius experimental Missile Cruiser
Raid
Avenger Carrier
Hyperion Heavy Cruiser (Early Version)
Nova Battleship
Battle
Orestes System Monitor
Hecate Battlecruiser (as a nhomage to the excellent writer of the Dilgar War Fan Fiction) :wink:

blockade runner
6 salvaged ships - couple of strike carriers and a few centauri/ other models
2 Strike ships and 2 wings of fighters
more a fun fleet hoepfully!
Hiff, a couple of requests for the Dilgar war -
Can the EA have an Olympic-class cruiser?
This is a scaled-up Olympus, designed as heavy cruiser before the Hyperion came along.
Actually, just a way of extracting some use from the old, overlarge Olympus mini.
Fluff - the ship is Raid PL, hull 4, about 30 damage and crew, armed with F/P/S plasma cannon, turreted rail guns and F-arc missiles, and carries a flight of fighters. Interceptors - 1, AF - zero. She's slow - 6", 2/45 - and was phased out in favour of the Hyperion due to her low endurance, poor defences and lack of a jump engine. IS say 2170-2248, last ones dying against the Minbari?
And for the Dilgar, any chance of the Delegor suicide frigate?
In B5W these were introduced in 2232 when the Dilgar were going down and getting desperate. They consisted of a large engine, a small bridge, a couple of Anti Fighter guns, several thousand tons of metal, and a throttle fixed open at 'ramming speed'.
One of them took out the EA's Admiral Hamato and his Nova class flagship over Omelos in the last battle of the war, so probably a scenario-specific nasty rather than general issue.
Something like Skirmish PL, Hull 5, 40 damage, no crew score, ignore crew loss results (one very determined pilot in a very heavily armoured cockpit), speed 6, 2/45, no weapons, AF - 2, special traits - may use the 'Give me ramming speed!' SA without being crippled at any time (no CQ check needed), may not use any other SAs or damage control. Cannot be boarded - hatch welded shut before launch. Will need playtesting...

Could I find any good pictures of various LNAW characters and Jhazur on google so I could make a montage of heads... No.
So I went with the best ship picture there was of ships from that era. It is a great image.

I am sure everyone who contribures will do their best, I am of course assuming that GC is happy for me to use this ace cover, and that he's not just showing off!.
Pictures of era specific ships really appreciated, if I'm going to do this, may as well try to get a pic for every ship eh?
