Watercraft
ANCIENT ERA WATERCRAFT
The following are baselines for typical wooden watercraft powered by muscle or sail. Crew is approximate.
Top Speed: Example watercraft marked asterisk (*) are primarily powered by rowers, while those marked
dagger (†) also have sails for use in favorable winds. Entries marked double dagger (‡) have sails but are built
to maximize rowing speed and are designed with a massive ram to sink enemy vessels — rowing speeds
listed are maximum possible at “ramming speed” (common sustainable rowing speeds are about 7 MPH).
Length, Mass, and Classification: Ancient sailing vessels were generally named by their type of masts or
rigging and could vary greatly in length and displacement. We have done our best to list the typical maximum
displacement for a “classic” ship of each type. Further complicating things, war vessels were generally built
for speed and maneuverability with a long length and shallow draft. Cargo vessels were often wider with
a deeper draft. This leads to large variances in displacement (mass) versus simple length. Focus on a craft’s

The following are baselines for typical military watercraft powered by a motor.
Crew: Gargantuan craft list only minimum crew; their crews vary greatly by role, weapons systems, etc.
Belt Armor: Toughness marked (†) lists the typical Armor bonus for surface combatants reinforced with
belt armor. Non-surface combatants like carriers, logistics ships, as well as virtually all modern (post-WW2)
warships sacrifice armor for speed— reduce Armor to half of Size and recalculate total Toughness accordingly.

SAVAGE WORLDS

CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT
This table covers primarily civilian aircraft built of lightweight materials like wood, aluminum, etc. Many
Industrial Age military aircraft were lightweight, wooden aircraft and should use these entries. Similarly,
Information Age aircraft often have military variants serving in non-combat roles.
Aerostats: Marked asterisk (*), these are generally the only Gargantuan aircraft available during the Industrial
Age, and their base speed reflects that—though experiments like the Spruce Goose did happen.
Cargo: Civilian aircraft Size (Large) and up carry cargo or passengers—cargo craft ignore the passenger listing.
Jet Airplanes: When converting jets increase the maximum speed greatly— many modern jet aircraft have
a cruising speed of 450 MPH or more; approaching Mach 1 (roughly 660 MPH, depending on atmosphere).

This listing covers sturdy aircraft devoted to military service, wooden aircraft should use the civilian stats.
Future era aircraft are assumed to be more analogous to modern aircraft in propulsion and design. For more
fantastic propulsion types, use spacecraft or even industrial watercraft entries for Toughness, Speed, or Crew.
Armored Combat Aircraft: Entries marked asterisk (*) lists the typical Armor bonus for attack planes,

 Spacecraft
SAVAGE WORLDS

SPACECRAFT
The baselines for typical spacecraft assume no further paradigm-altering revolutions in the material sciences.
Around Size 25, spacecraft are assumed to transition toward more wide, squat, or spherical vessel shapes
instead of long, mass-conservative frames. Depending on the Setting and available types of propulsion, Size
25+ spacecraft are often incapable of entering atmospheres and instead will carry dropships for such tasks.
Modern Era Spacecraft represent what near-current technologies or a hard science fiction setting could
produce if economically viable for space resource exploitation, solar system colonization, and a resulting
uptick in the militarization of space. Alternatively, this level of spacecraft represents what would be possible
for Earth to press into service in the event of an extra-terrestrial emergency or threat of planetary invasion.
Future Era Spacecraft are those seen in science fiction and space opera universes where interstellar travel
and advanced technologies are common. For civilian spacecraft, use the Modern Era Toughness profile.
Crew: Gargantuan craft list only minimum crew; their crews vary greatly by role, weapons systems, etc.

Starfighters. Weapons: Innumerable Dual-Linked Heavy Lasers, planet killer laser (a plot device
weapon that takes an hour of high-intensity energy to destroy an entire planet).

Shields
The craft is protected by an ablative energy field that gives it one additional Wound
each time this modification is taken (the number in parentheses is how many “shield
Wounds” the ship has).
Shield Wounds are lost before Wounds to the hull. Roll Critical Hits normally when
a shield takes a Wound. Craft with remaining shield Wounds never suffer more than
one Wound from a single hit, but damage to shield Wounds may not be Soaked.
Certain weapons ignore this ability, as do collisions with hard objects of at least half
the ship’s Size or greater.
Shields automatically recharge one Wound every 10 minutes. In an emergency, a
character may attempt to shunt the ship’s power to the shields to recharge them faster.
This takes an action and an Electronics roll at –2. A Critical Failure shuts down the
ship’s shields entirely—they recharge at the rate of one per hour and can’t be shunted
again until after they have fully restored. Failure means nothing happens. A success
recharges one Wound, but any Trait roll dependent on the ship or its weapons and
hardware (Piloting, Shooting, Electronics, etc.) are made at –2 until the end of the
character’s next turn as systems reroute electrical and processing power to the shields.
With a raise, the Wound recharges without inflicting any penalty.
