                                                As you cannot have a Refugee Fleet without Refugee Ships, I will provide statistics for some of them. I am assuming that these ships already have whatever Defensive Weapons that would be retro-fitted to them after their enemies started attacking the fleeing Fleet. I am also assuming that, while I know that each Hull Point has two Crew Points associated with it, these two Crew Points represent about 10 people. As a House Rule, I am assuming that each 10 S.U. spent on Passengers represents 10 people. Further, I assume that 10 people take up only 5 S. U. as Emergency Passengers. I shall state what penalties are incurred by transporting people as Emergency Passengers later.

                                                  Agricultural Ship (66 CR) All systems are TL +4 (*.50 S.U.).

If I were being meticulous about tracking consumables, I would track both production and usage of food separately from other Cargo. However, for a Campaign Scenario based on Starmada, leaving the Cargo undifferentiated and saying that a Ship will use up its own Hull Size in Cargo every Strategic Turn seems to be a sufficient way to keep track of expended Food, Spare Parts, and other Supplies.

U.). It fills the Cargo Capacity of the ship in one Strategic Turn if it is in the same Strategic hex as a System with Planets. If It is in the same system with an Ore-bearing Planet (a fleet of at least three ships or a ship with Sensor Arrays roll 1 die 6 and on a roll of 6, there is an Ore-bearing Planet), it fills its' Ore Bays.

                                                                                                                                                                                    Every 12 Strategic Turns count as 1 Strategic Year. Crew and Passengers count as Standard Population. This remains constant (Population * 1% = Births; Population * 1 % = Deaths) because the cramped environment of a spaceship is not conducive to raising families. Emergency Passengers dwindle (Emergency Passengers *0.5% = Births; Emergency Passengers *1.5% = Deaths) because their overly cramped quarters (never intended for human habitation) tend to promote disease and violence. Changes in total population are calculated every Strategic Year. Combat losses are subtracted. It should be noted that in this scenario, ships lose Passengers in the same Percentage that they lose crew in Combat.

Please note that I said by Volume (Fuel times Hull Size), not by point of Fuel. The 1, 100 Ore that this Refinery Ship can convert into Fuel in a single Strategic Turn will not even suffice to fill half its tanks. Re-Fueling Equipment takes up 10 % of the ship's Space Units (as adjusted by Tech Level). It transfers refined Fuel between all the ship's in the Fleet.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          While there are a number of ships remaining to list, there are enough now for the Strategic Scenario. Take a sheet of paper and mark about a dozen Star Systems on it (more if you want a longer game). This does not have to be on a hex-grid (it will suffice that the distance between systems be marked).

                                                                                                                                                                                                            One Player should pick a Fleet from the Enemy ships and one player should pick a Fleet from the Refugee ships. A fleet or sub-fleet (you may divide a Fleet as you wish) must contain at least three ships.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              They should both begin in the same system. Whenever elements of both fleets are in the same system, roll a die 6 for each fleet on each Strategic Turn. Any Fleet that rolls a 6 is aware of the present location of his opponent in the system and may initiate an attack with such elements of his Fleet in the system as he chooses. Tactical play proceeds against the opponent Fleet in normal Starmada fashion. Any Fleet that does not roll a 6 has lost contact with his opponent and may not attack them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                Whenever a Fleet enters a System, roll 2 die 6 (count rolls of 6 as equalling Zero). This will give you the number of Planets that you have discovered in the System (0-10). For each Planet, roll a die 6. On a roll of 4 or 5, this Planet will have useful minerals or organics that you may mine for Cargo. On a roll of 6, this Planet may be mined for Ore. Make a note of the results, they will remain true for any subsequent  entry of the System by either Fleet.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Every Strategic Turn that a Fleet is in a System, roll 2 die 6.If both dice roll a 6, you have discovered directions to the next Waypoint (considered for purposes of tracking Cargo and Fuel Consumption to be 12 Strategic Turns away).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    You will need to use a second piece of paper marked with Star Systems like the first. You will proceed to explore it as you did the first. How many Waypoints are required to reach the distant shining Planet that is the Refugee Fleet's destination will be determined by how long a Campaign you agree to play.The final Waypoint is simply the destination Planet.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Track the Refugee fleet population every Strategic Year. How many of the Refugees reach their destination is the Refugee Fleet score. How many of them die is the Enemy Fleet score. Of course, if the Enemy Fleet destroys the Refugee Fleet, Enemy Fleet Victory is total.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        It is a very bad thing (from the Refugee Fleet point of view) to let the Enemy Fleet reach a Waypoint first. It is an equally bad thing (from the Enemy Fleet point of view) to let the Refugee Fleet get more than one Waypoint ahead.

The overcroaded passengers have nothing that they can do but remain in their seats and worry about deep vein thrombosis; but at least the space that they occupy was actually intended for human habitation and they may count themselves better off than those crammed into Tankers and Maintenance Ships.

Perhaps you might try randomizing the selection of ships for the Refugee Fleet.

In the present instance, you have 120 Medical Bays. I would not bother rolling dice. I would simply say that if you have a Medical Ship in your Fleet, 60 Persons are not subtracted as casualties.

Births to Passengers in a Strategic Year rise to 1.5% and deaths to Passengers dwindle to 0.5%. Births to Emergency Passengers rise to 1 % and deaths to Emergency Passengers drop to 1%. The presence of a Medical Ship in a Refugee Fleet will contribute to its' probability of victory.

Sensor Arrays let a ship make the same Dice rolls for detection of planets, ore deposits, and Fleets that a Fleet does. Such a ship can scout  for Directions to the next Waypoint independantly of the rest of the Fleet.

If you want to keep track of Research Points generated by the Labs and use them to improve your Technology and design new ships, then there enough ways to do this available (any of the VBAM/Starmada books would contain a useable (though vague and complex) one). If you find this an unnecessary  complication, just use the Labs for Passenger space (I am already counting them as having 1 researcher in residence per Bay).

Perhaps, you should consider the extra Cargo Pods to have been removed when the ship was retro-fitted with Defensive Batteries.

I have been calculating the Space Units for the Kinetic Blaster as though it had the Trait: Carronade, but I have not been listing the Trait: Carronade in the Data Card for the ship. It seems easier to insert the Trait: Carronade into the Data Card, than it does to re-calculate all the ships. Besides, it does give the Refugee Fleet a slightly different flavor than their enemies.
