Bite (Ex) An augmented fire whale that enters another
starship’s hex can bite that ship (+4 [2d4] with the ripper
special property).
Breath Weapon (Ex) The fire whale’s natural breath weapon
has been cybernetically augmented into a direct-fire
starship weapon that has short range and the broad arc
special property.
Fire Affinity (Su) The fire whale takes half damage from
starship laser weapons.
Living Starship (Ex) An augmented fire whale is a living
creature so immense that it functions as a starship (and
thus engages only in starship combat). It has no crew,
but it can still take crew actions using the skill bonuses
and ranks listed above. Modifiers for its size, speed, and
maneuverability have already been factored into its
statistics. Use the following table to determine the effects
when a fire whale takes critical damage. The fire whale’s
brain doesn’t take critical damage conditions.
| d% | System | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1–30 | Weapon | Condition applies to all gunner actions. |
| 31–60 | Propulsion | Condition applies to all pilot actions. |
| 61–90 | Heart | Condition applies to all engineer actions, except when patching or repairing the heart. |
| 91–100 | Brain | During the next round, each of the fire whale’s attempted actions has a 25% chance of failure. |
Titanic natives of the Plane of Fire, fire whales can be found swimming in the atmosphere of Material Plane stars or in space searching for food, from biological matter to inorganic material such as Tiny starships. Their innards refine this fodder into metals and gems. Deceased fire whales can be refitted and used as frames for Small starships.
