This massive, four legged horror is about as intelligent as a dog and
incredibly dangerous and fast. It possesses a powerful set of
pincers and it's true weakness is it's head. (nerve center). If you
take out a leg, for example, it is still at 89% efficiency. It uses it's
legs, teeth, and "claws" (extra set of legs not used for walking) to
dispatch enemies. It has no eyes, and emits screeching sounds
when
attacking or hailing the brain. However, it communicates
with it's own
kind through telepathy. In my humble opinion, an
Alien could wax this
guy. This bug fights rather mindlessly,
although it should not be
underestimated, ever. They attack in
packs of 200+ and don't go down
easily.

due to limited telepathy and seismic sensitivity. +4 to surprise (I
mean to surprise somebody) Can withstand temperatures above

limited
time. These bugs do not breathe with lungs,
consequently it is hard to
speculate what their origins are. +5

psionics, magic, poisons, toxins
*Bites into human and flings him around as a dog would a rubber
toy.
Treat as body flip/throw. After this attack is made, the
human is
crunched in half and eaten or the bug will press on the
attack on his
companions.

of
said shells.
Black Market Cost: 5,500 - 13,000 credits for this weapon.
Starship Troopers Tower Dual Machinegun
This weapon is typically mounted on top of each observation
tower, in
pairs. It is used for anti-aircraft and anti-infantry. It
has a high
rate of fire and is known to overheat.
Weight: 340 lbs, bolted to the deck.
Mega Damage: 1D4 Mega Damage per round, 2D6 per 4 round burst,
5D6 per
20 round burst, 1D4X10 per 40 round burst, 2D6X10 per
100 round burst,
takes up 2 attacks.
Maximum Effective Range: 3000 feet
Rate of Fire: Each burst counts as one attack, but the 100 round burst
counts as two attacks.
Payload: This gun is typically mounted on stationary defensive
positions,
therefore it has an enormous ammunition supply.
4000 rounds per belt.
There are typically 10 belts per crate, and
20 crates in storage,
depending on the outpost.
Reloading/clearing the weapon takes one melee
round (15
seconds) with two people, two melee rounds (30 seconds) for a
trained person, three melee rounds (45 seconds) for one
untrained
person. The caliber of this ammunition is 20mm.
Black Market Cost: 25,000-50,000 credits for this weapon, a belt of
ammunition goes for 5,000 credits.
Notes: For every four concutive melee rounds that this weapon was
fired,
there is a 1-20% chance that it will overheat for 1D4 melee
rounds. The
automated systems integrated into the weapon will
shut it off,
eliminating the chance for user injury due to backfire.
Venting shafts
and cool objects such as buckets of water can
reduce the overheating time
by 1 melee round per two gallons of
water. Without venting, there is a
1-60% chance of overheating
and it takes 2D6 melee rounds to cool.
Venting is standard, these
rules are simply in case the vents become
clogged.
