Special

  • Defiant light cruisers get a +1 to their dice roll when defending against a boarding action, because the mid-ship corridor is easy to defend and restricts access to vital parts of the ship.

Options

  • May increase the prow armour to 6+ for no additional cost. However, if this option is taken, the turning radius of these vessels is reduced to 45 degrees.
  • If the prow armour is increased, the ship may also take a power ram for +5 points, if it is part of an Imperial Navy, Adeptus Mechanicus, Inquisition, or Rogue Trader fleet list. This does not count as a separate refit. Ships so equipped impart one automatic hit during a successful ram on a target vessel before rolling for hits inflicted.
