HISTORY and BACKGROUND Designed by Charles Oines. The Ngasksu are a warrior race that favor close combat against all else. The Ngaksu home world is a remarkably windy place, and many folk stories start with the hapless protagonist being swept away to exotic far off lands by the wind, thus their ship class names taken from windstorms. Ngasku ships are built with good all-around fire arcs though most weapons are fairly short ranged favoring their ‘knife fighting’ style tactics.

SHIP CLASSES CYCLONE CLASS CRUISER TheCyclone is an older but still powerful battle-cruiser. Having been built in large numbers many have been converted to serve various other roles. FURY CLASS HEAVY FRIGATE The Ngaksu Fury is a fast, aggressive scout ship. There are two main variants one being an electronic warfare ship and the other, an escort specialist HURRICANE CLASS BATTLE CRUISER The Hurricane is the Ngaksu mainline warship. Nearly every battlegroup is led by one of these and they are frequently seen operating in groups of three. HURRICANE-BCV CLASS BATTLE CARRIER The Hurricane-BCV is a conversion of the standard Hurricane mounting two external hangar pods. This is as close to a true carrier the Ngaksu have fielded thus far. The first two ships converted had serious stability issues. The first ship was destroyed in combat after sustaining fairly little damage. The subsequent ships were built with additional structural integrity field generators which solved the problem. STORMFRONT CLASS SDN The Stormfront is the Ngaksu answer to other races super dreadnaughts.

TEMPEST WAR DESTROYER The Ngaksu Tempest is a fast, lightweight gunship and is the most common warship encountered. Though small for its class it is very dangerous when encountered in packs. TYPHOON CLASS WAR CRUISER The Typhoon is a fast cruiser, often used by the Ngaksu in raids and surprise attacks. DU HUK CLASS BATTLESHIP The DU HUK, roughly translated as Devine Wind, is the newest Ngaksu warships. None outside the empire has even seen it yet so little is known about it other than it seems to be intended to fill the gap between the Hurricane and Stormfront classes. *Note: The model is not yet in production but will soon be available from Bergstrom Studios.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS

Disruptors. These operate in all ways as class 2 K-gun. Long range and Short range versions are employed.

Combat Transporters. The Ngaksu rely heavily on these to get their troops over to enemy ships.

Needle Beams. Only the older Cyclones use these and the Ngaksu generally regard them as a useless weapon.

Cloaking Field. The Ngaksu only recently obtained a few of these after a trade agreement with the XXXX. All are mounted on their Storm Raptor corvettes.

Beam Spinal Mount. sometimes called a MAULER by the Ngaksu. This weapon has only been fitted to two old Cyclones so far and has yet to see combat.

Ngaksu Marine. Ngasksu Marines are armored compared to most specialized boarding troops used by other Navies. Armed with deadly hand to hand weapons, however, the Ngaksu marines are expert killers in close quarters

Additional Notes: The use of Klingon iconography on the models is purely artistic license on my part and in no way should be construed as copy write infringement by Bergstrom Studios. The Storm Raptor model is actually from Bergstrom’s Sting-On line of models. See the catalog and link page of this book for more information.
