I just got the new Communique, and was wondering what the Shriek missles on the Juggernaut Destroyer are? Where are the rules for using them located? |

I was wondering that myself. Based on what I remember of the SFB Juggernaut rules, treat them as suicide shuttles (launch one per impulse, no energy cost) with a Speed of 32 and 35 point warhead. _________________ "Captain" Terry O'Carroll, fourteen papers published including six best of issue

The rules for the Shriek missiles are in a reasonably recent Captain's Log. Since I am at work, I can't look to find out which one. They were included in a one-column article that covered updated rules for the Juggernaut. _________________

Will those rules make a copy of communique for those of us who don't buy Captain's Log? |

Nah, you need to buy captain's log. You really should, you know. Full of good stuff for FedComm. _________________ The Guy Who Designed Fed Commander

Captain's Log #41, page 42.
Get it. The Shrieks will make its opponent "shriek" for sure. _________________ "I could have been an adventurer like you, but I took an arrow to the knee." |

I will look into Captain's log issues once I get everything else (IE attack products, briefings, boosters). |

Eh, why not? It is supporting the Communique ...
Shriek missiles:
- Launch as shuttles at shuttle launch rate.
- Speed 32, do 35 points of damage, take 12 points to destroy.
- Cannot be damaged by ADDs
- Direct-fire weapons get a +2 (4A4) shift to fire on them.
- Take six points of energy to tractor.
They are extremely nasty munitions.
Important tactical advice: Kill them with drones. _________________

Are these based off of the old SFB Qari Scud missiles?
I loved the Qari. Fun race to play. |

These are based off the SFB Shriek missiles. It is pretty much a straight port.
I have no idea if the SFB Shriek missiles are based on the Scud missiles, but I doubt it. Then again, what a "super massive missile" looks like is a pretty narrow range, so any "super massive missile" is going to be pretty similar to any other "super massive missile" regardless of which is based on which (if any). _________________
