| |
| //Transport: 1x Albatross Heavy Dropship (1 unit only)// | |
| |
| **Drone Base:** //A Ferrum Class Drone Base may deploy a squad of up to eight Starsprite | |
| Drones (the normal rules for transports apply). However, if the Ferrum is destroyed then all Drones onboard and those deployed by it are instantly destroyed as well. During its activation, the Ferrum may replenish any losses from the Drone Squadron by deploying new ones (it may deploy an unlimited number throughout the game, but only eight may be in the air at any one time). The newly deployed Drones do NOT have to fly into coherency with previously deployed Dones.// | |

| |
| ^ Weapons ^ M&F ^ Arc ^ R(F) ^ R(C) ^ Sh ^ Ac ^ E ^ Special ^ | |
| | Golden Arrow | 15" | F | 24" | 6" | 1 | 3+ | 6 | Focus-4((Multiple hits against the same Vehicle from identical Focus Fire weapons fired by a single Squad in Coherency may Focus Fire. One or more Hits may be discarded, and the Focus Fire value (e.g. Focus-4) of each discarded hit may be added to the Energy value of another hit (up to a maximum of E-13).)), AA (May not Reaction Fire) | | |
| |
| **Cloud Formation:** //Starsprites fly in tight, close formation in order to combine fire and share targeting information. Any AA weapon with multiple shots firing against a squadron of Starsprite drones in coherency may allocate each shot to separate targets within the squadron. Normal rules for range and line ofsight still apply.// | |
| |
| **Tiny:** //A Starsprite always counts as ‘Destroyed in the Air’ if destroyed, since it’s too small to make a big impact if it crashes! As such they do not need an LZ value.// | |
