ENEMY OF MY ENEMY
    The Negali/Arcturan Federation alliance took some time to take root, despite the obvious necessity of the two factions to work together against such a threatening enemy as the Terran Empire.  Many captains on both sides still distrusted the others, and considered them “helpers” rather than “allies.”  Both command structures sought to rectify this rift by coordinating the efforts of both fleets as closely as possible.
    In this instance, the Negali were launching a strike against an Imperial resupply outpost on a planet in disputed space.  However, there happened to be a garrison of Imperial fighter craft on the planet, and the Negali were unable to spare a carrier for the attack.  Seeing a chance to further the bond between the Negali and Arcturans, the Arcturan navy offered the Negali the assistance of one of their Izangi-class missile ships, which the Negali happily accepted.

FORCES
Negali: Destroy the Terran Outpost and escape (see special rules).

The Negali fleet consists of: 1xCR (Tabercji-class), 1xCR (Svirse-class), 2xDD (996 Points)

Terran Empire: Defend the outpost, and destroy as many Negali as possible.

The Terran Empire fleet consists of: 2xCR, 2xCL, 3xDD, 1xSupply Outpost (1328 Points)

Arcturan Federation: Help the Negali, but do not lose your own ship.

The Arcturan Federation ship is a CG (440 Points).

SETUP
Set up as for The Trap.  There is a planet in the middle of the map.  The Terran Empire are the “defenders” and the Negali and Arcturan Federation ships act as the “attackers.”

SPECIAL RULES
The Negali and Arcturan Federation ships are allies and may not fire on each other.  The Arcturans are here to help the Negali, but not to die for them, and must engage their hyperdrive if their ship is crippled.  There is an Imperial Supply Base (294 points) on the planet with:
    Hull 5
    Shields 4, 5, 6
    Carrier (10).
The base is immobile, and my be attacked from any side.

VICTORY
The Terran Empire receives VPs as normal.

The Negali receive VPs as normal, as well as any VPs scored by the Arcturan Federation ship, and get double points for destroying the supply base.  They lose points for the damaging, crippling, or destroying of the Arcturan ship of the same number as the Terran Empire gets for inflicting the damage.

The Arcturan Federation wins if the Negali win.

Nope; just the sourcebook for S:AE, and the ships are duplicated in S:FO and S:NE.  However, the sourcebook does have a lot of history in it, and could certainly be expanded on.

I actually had envisioned how it could be expanded to five supplements:

1.) The introduction (the one that already exists)
2.) The Kalaedinese War (More ships for the existing races, add two new races, one allied to the empire, one allied to the Negali/Arcturan Federation)
3.) The Return (Both the Uxeptic return to fight the Kalaedinese, and the Lizard Kings return, causing the S'ssk and House Izreadi (who was planning this with the S'ssk all along) to rally to their side.
4.) The Common Good (the Terran Empire, Arcturan Federation, Negali, and the other two races introduced in supplement 2, go to the Kalaedinese and Uxeptic, begging them to stop fighting and join the fight against the Lizard Kings, who are over-running the Commonwealth)
5.) The Conclusion (The Uxeptic join the Commonwealth, the Kalaedinese join the Lizard Kings and the S'ssk.  The final war to decide the fate of the galaxy begins)

MONEY VS. TECHNOLOGY
    During the first Terran Empire/Negali war, the Starmada managed to push the Negali back steadily once they devoted all their resources to the effort (having reluctantly arranged for peace with the Arcturan Federation).  However, the Negali were not going to let the Empire have it's systems back easily.  Negali raiders did all they could to disrupt the Imperial chain of supply, launching hit-and-run attacks on convoys, damaged ships, and supply depots constantly.  This is an instance of a Negali lightning strike on a Terran carrier group.

FORCES
Negali: Take out the enemy carrier and escape, the escorts are not important.

The Negali force consists of 1xBB, 1xCR (Tabercji-Class), 2xDD (1147 Points)

Terran Empire: Hold the line, and destroy as many of the Negali as possible.

The Terran Empire force consists of: 1xCV, 1xBC, 1xCR, 2xDE (1455 Points)

SETUP
Set as for a standard game.

SPECIAL RULES
There are no special rules in this scenario.

VICTORY
The Negali receive double VPs for destroying the Terran carrier, and score other VPs as normal.

The Terran Empire receives VPs as normal, but receive no points for Negali ships that jump to hyperspace after their Carrier is destroyed.  Also, if the CV survives, the Terran force gets points equal to half of the CV's value.

Here's another scenario:

UPRISING
    Ever once in a while, a S'ssk nesting becomes dissatisfied with the restrictions of Imperial rule, and the supervision of House Izraedi.  This is usually either diffused through diplomacy or a handful of skirmishes, but occasionally a nest will openly declare independence and fight the forces of House Izraedi until their inevitable defeat at the hands of superior numbers.  What makes this revolt different is that the S'ssk arranged for the Arcturan Federation to intervene on their behalf, which the Arcturans (who were facing a diplomatic low with the Empire at this time) were only too happy to do.

FORCES
Terran Empire: Destroy the insurgents, and any outsider who dares to meddle in Imperial affairs.

House Izraedi's Fleet consists of: 1xCV, 1xBB, 1xCR, 2xDD, 2xDE (1684 Points)

S'ssk: Escape to Arcturan Federation space, and destroy as many Izraedi ships as possible.

The S'ssk fleet consists of: 1xWC, 1xGS, 2xDD (1143 Points)

Arcturan Federation: Escort the S'ssk back to your space, and damage some Imperial ships while you're at it.

The Arcturan Federation Fleet consists of: 1xCA, 1xCR (498 Points)

SETUP
Set up as for To the Rescue. The “reinforcements” are the Arcturan ships.

SPECIAL RULES
S'ssk ships may not use their Hyperdrives until the Arcturan forces arrive.  S'ssk and Arcturan ships are allies an may not fire on each other.  They can be played by the same or different players.

VICTORY
The Terran Empire receives VPs as normal, but receives no points for enemy ships retreating by Hyperdrive.

The S'ssk receive VPs as normal.  The Arcturan Federation receives VPs as normal, but receives no points for destroying a Terran Empire ship, as doing so could lead to open war.  If the combined VP totals of the S'ssk and the Arcturan Federation exceed those of the Terran Empire, then both of them win.

Okay, sure.  I'n going to post the designs here now, ignore the old ones (most have recieved updates).

That isn't totally true; it varies with setting.  In my expansive imaginary universe, early ships did not have shields, they had armor.  So, I gave them zero shields in-game (as later ships did have energy shielding ,and the in-game shield function is exclusive to that) and gave them all armor plating instead.

Oh I just got one!

Starmada: Escalation

Leaves plenty of room for further editions, assuming the world doesn't end this year
