TALON
Bounty Hunter

Mordechai Hawke is a ruthless bounty hunter known throughout the border worlds. His ship, called "Talon", is a surplus Lelantos-class search and destroy vessel which has been upgraded with cutting edge technology. The ship's registered name is "Lex Talionis" - Latin for the Law of Revenge. This is the ancient source of the "eye for an eye" concept of justice - something Mordechai has embraced fully.

The Lelantos-class was developed early in the war to fill a variety of roles. With an fair sized bay, it could easily carry a small craft, troops, and supplies. It was also well armed and armored, and was exceptionally maneuverable both in space and atmosphere. With a pair of Serena-class fighters in the bay this class of ship proved very effective at long range search-and-destroy operations. By the end of the war, this was the official military classification for the Lelantos.

In the post-war era, the design has been adopted for non-military use as a general cargo transport. The unmodified bay is designed to hold and secure two standard HMT-337 cargo containers side by side. With the entire lower deck cleared out for maximum cargo space, four more can be carried. This is another mid-sized ship designed to support a group of players in a variety of campaigns and maps are provided for both the prisoner transport and cargo versions. As a sample bounty, the "Wyvern" is also included in it's own complete document. This is a Valkyrn interceptor turned into a bio-organic alien hybrid.

The .zip file contains the following:

  • Overview
    • 16 page PDF file detailing the ship, interior areas, and crew.
    • 8 page PDF file detailing Wyvern in the same way.
    • Open Game License stats provided for the vessel and crew.
  • Map Book
    • Full-color 22 page PDF file containing complete interior maps.
    • Includes miniature-scale maps for tactical combat.
    • Broken into pages for easy printing.
  • Printer friendly, black and white version of the map book.
  • Miniature-scale composite map of the ship interior.
    • A poster-sized, 24x36 inch, 150 dpi, color JPEG image.
  • Art directory with rendered images of Talon, Wyvern, and the 7XR ground car.

Sample documents and bonus art are available at 0-hr.com.

Like all of the Future Armada ships, Talon is meant to be useful to game masters and players alike. Story, stats, and maps are all easily separated. Keep what you like & change what want, it's in your hands.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
