*The Zhari Maru was recently refitted with a specially made Verpine Shield Generator. In addition to granting the ship with a 3D shield rating, the shield is linked to a capacitor. This capacitor, upon making a moderate shield roll, can absorb the energy of laser shots fired at the ship (the ship can try to do this automatically at 4D, or the pilot can do it manually at their own skill level). 4 shots can be stored in this way. When the pilot fires the ships laser cannons, they can draw on this energy to add extra dice to the shot, each point used from the capacitor adds 1D to the damage of the shot. These dice are “wild dice” and any 1’s rolled will produce an… undesirable effect.
