Submunitions

A submunition system is a one-shot package of short-range missiles, designed to pack a punch at a lower cost than heavier multi-use weapon systems.

Symbols:

Firing submunitions generates damage by rolling a number of dice depending on range to target.

At range of…	You…
0-6″	Roll three D6.
6-12″	Roll two D6.
12-18″	Roll one D6.

Damage is determined similarly to beam batteries, but submutions are unaffected by defensive screens.

Per six-sided die	Result
Every 1, 2, or 3 rolled	No effect
Every 4 or 5 rolled	One damage point
Every 6 rolled	Two damage points

After being fired, a submunitions system cannot be used again during the battle. You must cross off its symbol on the ship system display.
