The Eldred barely won their war for survival against the Slavern. In the aftermath, The Admiralty devised a plan to defend Eldred territory from all sides. This Light Cruiser is the backbone of the fleet and part of that plan. Used in both system defense convoy escort and piracy interdiction roles, the Eldred Light Cruiser is a common sight across civilized and uncivilized space. With Plasma Cannon and Gyrolasers it hits harder than a lot of ships in its Tier.

The Starship Series delivers ships you can use in your Starfinder campaigns.

An Endzeitgeist.com review

This installment of the ship-supplements released under the Galaxy Pirates brand clocks in at 7 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page SRD, leaving us with 5 pages of content, so let’s take a look!

Okay, so the light cruiser is a tier 5 Large destroyer with average maneuverability and turn 2, using an Arcus Ultra power core and sporting a signal basic drift engine. With mk 4 armor and defenses, we get AC and TL 18, and weaponry-wise, we get light plasma cannons and torpedo launchers forward, a gyrolaser on the port-side and starboard-side, a coilgun turret and no weaponry on the aft. The ship comes with a proper array of expansion bays. As far as crew is concerned, the engineering may not be stellar compared to e.g. the blackwind sepulcher, but the pilot? Top-notch. The ship does come with a Computers table that allows PCs to deduce facts about the ship model, and the pdf does feature a brief elaboration on the ship’s details.

The supplement also comes with an AMAZING full-color map of the ship, which explains all components of the ship, from airlocks to the placement of the weaponry. (Very minor nitpick: The map references a rail cannon, instead of a plasma cannon; it’d have been nice to see the map reference the weapons of the ship directly, but those are details.)We also get a great, handout style one-page version of the ship’s artwork, and a full page of paper stand-in minis you can print out, and the ship comes with a full, already filled-in ship sheet for your convenience. Huge plus!

Conclusion:
Editing and formatting are very good, I noticed no serious snafus on a formal or rules-language level. Layout adheres to a nice two-column full-color standard, and the pdf has no bookmarks, but needs none at this length. The artwork of the ship and the cartography are both full color and amazing.

I really like this ship by Paul Fields and Jim Milligan. The ship map, the sheet – this is ready to go, fun and has some customization options left in the PCU-budget for players. All in all, a fun, well-wrought ship, this gets 4 stars.

Endzeitgeist out.
