Gunnery

Characteristic: Agility

p. 120

Gunnery applies to laser cannons and proton torpedoes mounted on starships. Larger mounted weapon systems like heavy laser turrets and ion cannons are also fired using this skill.

Weapons of this sort might require a team to transport, assemble, and ultimately operate. Weapons of this caliber are also difficult to acquire for anything but government entities.

• If a character is piloting a starfighter, it may have weapons that are mounted upon it with a fixed orientation. Prior to making a Gunnery check, the pilot may need to maneuver their craft in order to achieve a firing solution.
• Characters using Gunnery to fire turret-mounted weapons may need to hold their action until a pilot can drive the vehicle so that targets are within the weapon's firing arc.
• Complex targeting computers and automated weapons mounts are often used with large scale weapons. Operating this equipment also falls under Gunnery.
