Question concerning hull hits

Hello,

I have a question concerning the hull damage allocation.
For example the Romulan Battlehawk only has C Hull to hit,
but the damage tracks don't list it. How is this handeled? Is R Hull or L Hull allocated to the center hull?

Thank you in advance for your help

C (or consolidated) Hull represents a single, unified hull structure and as such, is hit on both Forward Hull and Rear Hull hits.

R Hull and F Hull hits both can be taken against C Hull.

This is explained in (5J).

EDIT: Incidentally, "C" means "Center". So, it is Forward Hull, Rear Hull, and Center Hull.

A note: It is possible and legal to allocate F Hull and R Hull hits to C Hull on ships that have all three kinds, though this is not normally an advisable course.

Also note that there is no difference in hit probability between F and R, and that a few ships (such as 99% of the Lyrans) have F and R rather than Right and Left.

I don't think any ships have hull listed as R and L, do they?

Some may have them displey on the right and left of the ship card, but I still think that call them out as Front and Rear.

Now, some of the earlier cards from Klingon Border may still have Front Hull and Aft Hull, but I don't remember any R / L...

No, I was saying that some ships have F hull and R hull where it would seem that they should have Right hull and Left hull. For example, a Lyran Trimaran has Forward hull on the left side, center hull in the middle, and Rear hull on the right side.

Many thanks you for the answers

I'm looking forward to my 2nd game as Romulan

Romulans get into your blood, I must say. Oh, and they make that "ale" too.
And let's not forget all that big, juicy plasma!
