Story of Gundark; Based on a supplement written for the older Star
Wars RPG called Gundark's Fantastic Technology - Personal Gear. (Check
sidebar for definition and slicing rules).
Intro;
To: Commander Drev Prilarca, NRSF Arms Interdiction Task Force
From: Major Shepp Barron, CorSec (retired) Commander:
As per your
request (datapad ref. 92847/98234), I have managed to retrieve files
from the CorSec criminal database regarding the individual who operates
under the alias 'Gundark' --his dossier is attached to this transmission.
I have also acquired a copy of the illegal database that 'Gundark'
maintains, apparently as a sort of catalog. This catalog is encrypted
and covertly inserted into a local HoloNet carrier signals, particularly
any governmental or law enforcement bandwiths; apparently, this 'Gundark'
has a keen sense of irony. Regards,
Maj. Shepp Barron

SLICING RULES
Slicing Stats; Sx/x or S1/3 - the first part is how many times
during your turn you may access a Node (in the given example, the
character could access a Node once during its owner's turn). The second
part is how well a character slices, their skill at slicing (which
would be 3 in the given example).
Beginning a Game - Each player is allowed up to 3 Nodes
to start the game. The first Node out is always Public Access Channels
(the other 2 Nodes are placed sideways and/or upside down under
the Node currently out to differentiate between the different Nodes).
Node - Infonet cards that a Slicer can 'hack' into or access
to retrieve/steal certain tech cards. Each Node defines how many
tech cards it has at the start of the game and what types (these
tech cards can not be refilled during the game). Also, Nodes exist
outside the game (as well as cards under them), they do not count
towards your deck building limit.
Node - Active and Inactive - your active Node is always
the one on top while your inactive Nodes are face down under it
in such a way to tell they are separate stacks (and they can not
be used or targeted in any way, except through the act of 'switching').
Node - Automatic Failure- Nodes have an 'automatic failure'
value listed which when drawn for destiny always results in failure.
This value can not be modified currently, but, if a card ever does
effect it, it'll refer to the 'Automatic Failure' value specifically,
otherwise it has no effect. Certain Nodes may have a larger stash
of Tech Cards with more variety, but tend to also have a greater
chance at failure, making it difficult to get these Tech cards.
Node - Switching - done by way of interrupts that state
you can 'switch' your active Node, following any restrictions, with
one of your inactive Nodes.
Slicing - in 8 easy to learn steps - follow the steps;
1-Have a Slicer in Play: Make sure you have a character with the
Slicer attribute in play where a Scomp Link is.
2-Choose a Node: There should be 1-2 Active Nodes (yours and your
opponent's if they have one out). Choose one.
3-Choose a Tech Card Type: Look at the listed types of Tech Cards
on the Node. Choose one.
4-'Slicing': Draw destiny and add your Slicer's skill. This is your
Slicing Total.
5-Check the Node: See if the destiny draw was an Automatic Failure
or not. If not, continue.
6-Check Security Ratings: If your Slicing Total is equal to or greater
than any of the listed Security Ratings on the Node for the Type
of Tech Card you chose, continue.
7-Quick Search (5 seconds): Look through the Tech Cards under the
Node for any of the Type of Tech Card you chose where your Slicing
Total is equal to or greater than than their Security Rating (destiny
number).
8-Final Decision: If any of the Tech Cards under the Node meet all
of the above requirements, you may choose one and take it to hand
(you may elect not to take anything).
Tech Cards - cards available through Nodes. The Tech Cards
for a specific Node face the same direction as the Node itself (If
the Node is active, they are face up, but covered by the Node, itself,
and may not be looked through except during the process of 'Slicing',
while inactive Nodes the tech cards will face down, but can not
be looked through at all). Four types currently exist; Access, Pirate,
Research, & Security.
Tech Card - Deployment - the type of use will will be the
first thing in the game text of the card. Some are temporary effects,
some play out like interrupts, while others are more long lasting.
If it states it deploys on table and doesn't declare any temporary
time, it lasts for the rest of the game (or until something cancels
it). Cards that state they are placed back under a Node are returned
to the original Node they were from, even if it is currently Inactive.
Tech Card - FOR and AGAINST - each Tech Card has a FOR and
AGAINST function. If you Slice into your Node, you always use the
FOR function (if it deploys on table, it does so as any effect would).
If you Slice into your opponent's Node, you always use the AGAINST
function (if it deploys on table, it does so sideways, to indicate
the 'Against' function is in effect).
Tech Card - Out Of Play - whenever a tech card is discarded
or lost, (unless otherwise specified), it is automatically placed
out of play.
Tech Card - Reserve Deck - Tech Cards never go in any Reserve
Deck (thus, while in hand, they can never be targeted by cards that
would cause them to go to used. They may not be in any way taken
out of your hand unless being specifcally targeted as a 'Tech Card').
Tech Card - Security Rating - A Tech Card's Security Rating
is equal to its destiny number. Because these cards never go in
the Reserve Deck, it doesn't matter if their destiny number is higher
than normally allowed (for example, 8+). If a problem ever really
occurs, it'll be changed so that the destiny will max out at 7,
but the game text will list if the Security Rating is + anything.
For now, the Security Rating IS the destiny number.
Tech Card Type - Access - represents information, basic
systems operation, etc, basically all normal functions of play,
much like interrupts and effects are.
Tech Card Type - Pirate - anything normally illegal in nature.
Tech Card Type - Research - represents research of all kinds,
whether it be technical plans to a starship, a scientific study,
basically, upgrades to gameplay.
Tech Card Type - Security - represents the ability to manipulate
the opponent's deck, resources, and other elements relating to 'effecting'
the opponent, like using opponent's holocams to find a way into
a base.

a site, may take one of your spies from a related site and place it
here. This spy is still in play, but 'hidden'. Take a piece of paper
from out of play and show opponent, then, as opponent looks away,
place it under any related site. At the end of each of opponent's
control phases, they may use 1 Force to look under each related site
where they have a nonAlien. If a paper was found, lose this card and
place spy at that site, otherwise opponent loses 2 Force.
