CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Admiral Antilles held tight onto the arms of his command

chair as the Repulse bucked from the impact of another

Torpedo. Several crew members, standing at tactical

consoles were tossed to the loor by the force of the

weapon, even though it had in fact missed the massive

System Defense Craft. Over his shoulder, he could barely

hear his First Oficer yelling over the din of the automated

ire suppression system, “Proximity Torps? Where are

they getting these weapons? Those things are supposed to

be manufactured for military use only?”

Antilles didn’t answer, eyes scanning the various

consoles around the wreck that used to be his bridge,

noting the positions of the various ighters swarming

around their two mistresses like gnats around elephants

in the summer sun. Suddenly, a grim smile split his

weathered face. He knew.

“Helm! Hard about! Engines, emergency power to the

thrusters!”

Another crewman went lying across the smoking

bridge, uniform briely catching ire as the enormous craft

turned on a dime. It wasn’t the irst time an enemy had

mistook the size of the Repulse to mean it was clumsy.

There on the viewscreen, as the craft pitched, was the

pirate carrier slinking up behind for a shot on their

engines. Three small “Executioner” class ighters lying

in front to keep the Repuls e’s compliment of ighters at

bay.

“Full Speed Ahead.”

The massive ship lurched forward, the viewscreen

going black in a shower of sparks as the Repulse

simply ran right through the ighters, destroying all

three outright, the tiny craft breaking apart

like lies hitting the windshield of a speeding

car. Antilles looked down, referring to

the ship’s radar screen to mark the relative

positions of his craft and the enormous

Gallows-Class pirate carrier across from it.

“Wait… wait…. ire main antiproton

batteries… NOW! Helm! Hard about, lateral

yaw! Give us some distance!”

Suddenly, the ship lurched again, a terrible

rending sound, then the bucking of an

explosion. They had nicked the massive

pirate ship, and been too close as its

main engines blew. The massive craft

was listing on its side, loating gently

through the void.

Around the two craft, one, the

Repulse damaged almost beyond

repair, and one a wreck of molten

metal and charred humanity, in

the silence of space, the battle

raged on, as the Repulse’s ighter

squadron made sure the pirate

ighter wouldn’t be able to inish what their mother ship

had started.

At the helm now, the Admiral righted the huge vessel.

The tactical display showed the enemy ighters break into

a full retreat when they saw that the massive carrier was

not destroyed as theirs had been.

Speaking over his shoulder to Captain Armstrong, his

irst oficer, the Admiral spoke very quietly. “Recall the

ighter Captain. Damage control crews to the bridge,

engineering, and the lateral thrusters. And Captain…

we are going to ind out where those scum got those

proximity fuses.”

WHAT IS

BLOOD AND SPACE?

Welcome to Blood and Space , a space adventure

sourcebook for the d20 system. Not a complete game in

and of itself, Blood and Space strives to provide players

and game masters with a toolkit to supplement any

science iction campaign (or create a new one), with a

special focus on starship combat and adventure. Within

this toolkit you will ind some new core d20 components

such as base classes, skills, feats, and personal equipment.

Also included in Blood and Space are extensive rules

for constructing starships, playing crews, and a complete

tactical space combat system. The rules that follow are

presented ala cart, and game masters will want to choose

which elements it best into the theme of their particular

d20 space game.

WHAT YOU WILL

FIND IN THIS BOOK

Chapter two begins with a selection of space-

based classes. Many of the core archetypes

of space-based settings are presented as well

as a few variants. You can use these classes in

addition to the ones in your game or simply

ignore them if they clash with your current

set of base classes. In addition of the base

classes, this chapter has a collection of prestige

classes. The prestige classes are designed

for two purposes: to represent advanced

archetypes of the genre (Pirate Captain)

and to represent specialists at some of the

starship combat situations presented

later in Blood and Space (Starship

Commander).

Chapter three presents a plethora

of new skills and feats. These give

you starship related options, such

as merchant skills, computer skills,

starship maneuver feats, and an entire
