As described on p. 154. SRJ. the moSt basic def-

The aeronautical industry is another field that Is curi -

way (after Ares and Saeder-Krupp , o f course) are two West
Coast corporations. the SeCl.ttle-based federated Boeing
and the California-based Lockheed Corporation. Trailing
closely is Novatech. w hich has lost ground trying to shore
up its assets after splitting from Fuchl.

As the largest independent aircraft manufacturer.

erally focuses on the production of commercial birds and
miJi tasy support aircraft (such as cargo planes. fuel tanker.;.
and electronic warfare). Production of combat fighter.;.
bomber.;. and ground-attack aircraft falls under Its sub-
sidiary, McDonnell Douglas.

Lockh eed
This warbird maker Is actually an amalgamation of four
differe nt ae ronautical companies: lockheed , Martin
Marietta, Northrup, and Grumman. As such, Insider.; and
pundits often refer to Lockheed by its nickname of
"LockMart-North. - Lockheed is known predominantly for
its production of fixed-wing combat aircraft. but It has also

THE REMOTE- CONTROL NETWORK

Though rigger remote-control (RC) decks transmit data over the airwaves. they are
not the same as ordinary radios. Comparing a remote-control deck to an ordinary radio
is like comparing a Fairlight ucalibur to a primitive vacuum-tube computer.
RC decks use some of the same technology that is used for high-speed wireless
Matrill access (p. 33. M.urix). They also employ a non-standard advanced protocol
known as mobile-subscriber simsense technology (MSST) to send and receive data.
MSST is a combination of specialized hardware and software components. so it cannot
be Imported into cyberdecks or ordinary radios.
For ease of management and security. MSST actually uses three separate radio
channels to command and control drones: the command. slmsense and system chan -
nels. To prevent eavesdroppers from intercepting anyone of these three channels.
remote-control decks use advanced frequency-hopping techniques. simuhaneously

Note that the existence of cess systems In no way Invalidates or renders obso-
lete Matrix-based security systems. cess and Matrix security systems both have their
own strengthS and weaknesses and complement each other In certain Instances.
M<lrrlx-based security systems excel in access control (determining who Is allowed
where) and traffic monitoring (tracking and logging who went where and when). but
their responsiveness Is poor. cesS. on the other hand. are very good at maintaining
vlrtualtelepresence and threat response. but they have inferior uafflc-moniloring ab1l·
Itles. especially In high-volume areas such as public places.
The choice of whether 10 use a f'Aatrix-based security system or cess will reside
with the site security manager (read: gamemaster). Some areas will have one and not
the other. Some may maintain Matrix systems to protect ooe area and cess systems
to protect other areas. And in some cases. a security manager may maintain both
M<ltrix and rigged systems to protect the same areas.

CLOSED· CIRCUIT SIMSENSE SYSTEMS

Closed-circuit simsense systems incorporate a wide range of security toys and com-
ponentS designed to make life difficult for shadowrunners and criminals. The technolog-
Ical Cdpabilities of a closed-circuit simsense system are indicated by lis Security Value.

THE SECURITY VALUE

rugged security systems have v.uying levels of technological Cilpabillty and vdJ)'ing
levels of vigilance. These two characteristics are measured by a system 's Technical Rating
and Vigilance Code. The rating and code collectively form the system's Security Value.

such as mechanical arms and legs. and special rules for vehldes such as hover-

srECIAL VIHICLE AITRIBUnS

The following attributes eJepand on the basic. vehicle attributes listed on pp. 130-
B of SRJ.

BODV
As described In SRJ, cl vehicle' s Body rating represents", rough Index of Its mass.
The Body Ratings Tablle (p. 62) lists Body Ratings for vehicles of various types and
weights. The Nominal Value Is the oi\SSumed weight value used for estimcltlon purpos-
es (for example, whenever a vehlde Is CMrylng another). ~n designing new vehl ·
cles ( ~ Vdlick Cksign. p.IOl). use this table as a guideline for estirTh'ltlng the
apprOlClmat~ mass of the vehicle.
Some very small vehicles rTkly be listed as having" Body of "0 . - Vehkles with a
Body 0 cannot Garry armor and are automatically destroyed If hit by a ~apon .
Some extremely larg~ vehldes ar~ so h~avy and structurally reinforced that their
Body ratings may be higher than 10. but these vehicles should always be considered
mlllt.vy grade and should rar~ly fall Into the hands of player characters.

rull
A v~hicle 's Fuel code descrlbes the general type of fuel the vehicle uses and the
sIze of Its fuel tank. A [WO-pan Fu~1 code thdt lists [WO fu~J types and [WO tank capac-
ities Indicates thdt a vehicle uses [WO different fuel sources. In such cases, the IIrst fuel
type listed Is the v~hide'5 primary fuel.

ALTERNATE VEHICLE COMBAT RULES

Listed below are some optional rules that complement the
rules for vehicle combat as described on pp. 138-1 4/ of SR3.

INTt(iRATlNG VEHiClES
IN STANDARD COMBAT
In some circumstances. Instead of resorting to vehicle
combat. it may be easier to treat vehicles as non-player char-
acters (NPCs) and resolve a conflict using standard combat
rules. This Is pdrtlcularly true In circumstances where the num-
ber of characters on foot outnumber the number of vehicles In
play. as In the case of two combat drones providing fire sup·
port for a group of shadowrunners lighting a security pdtrol.
To treat vehicles cl5 NPCs. It Is necessary to determine their
Movement Rates. A vehicle's Walking Rate is equal to Its
Acceleration Rating. lis Running Rate Is equal 10 lIS Speed
Rating divided by Its Handling (rounding down). down to a
minimum of twice Its Acceleration. A vehide Giln move fcl5ter
than its Running Rate [n a Combat Turn, up to Its Speed Rating.
If its driver succeeds in a Vehide Test . A driver expends a

Note that cess integration Is not the same as adapting the
ship for rigger control. cess is concerned with the internal
