Special

• Demiurg Bastion class ships are heavily automated and count their Ld value as 9 at the start of the battle. The Bastion’s Ld will drop by -1 for each point of damage the Bastion suffers, but its Ld value will not drop any further than 5.
• Bridge smashed critical hits will not inflict additional Leadership loss on a Demiurg ship, but instead cause an extra point of damage (and possible attendant Ld loss) on the vessel.
• A Bastion class vessel is worth 255 Victory points normally but in a pure Demiurg fleet or one fighting against Orks it is worth 300 Victory points instead to reflect its extra determination. This does not affect its starting point cost.
• Demiurg ‘Bastion’ class vessels cannot employ Come to New Heading orders.
• The dorsal launch bays may launch either attack craft or torpedoes if reloaded but may not launch both attack craft and torpedoes in the same turn.
