A decoy husk is a living case that can be regrown when
ejected from a starship, expands to mimic that vessel and
flies in another direction. This expansion takes up one bay
in a Small starship, two in a Medium or Large vessel, three
in a Huge starship, four in a Gargantuan craft, and five in
a Colossal one. Super-colossal vessels cannot install or use
this expansion. Once a decoy husk has been deployed, it
cannot be recovered, and it takes the deploying vessel a
week to grow another decoy.
A crew member must deploy the decoy as a crew action
during the helm phase. Other vessels that fail a Computers
check (DC = 10 + the deploying crew member’s Computers
bonus) to scan the deploying vessel and its decoy cannot
tell the two apart, although this scan can be repeated during
each helm phase. The decoy moves in an evasive trajectory
chosen by the deploying crew and at the deploying vessel’s
speed, and it generates Shield Points equal to its cost in
Build Points, but these shields falsely mimic those of the
deploying starship when scanned. The decoy can’t attack,
and it has a number of Hull Points equal to 20% of the
deploying starship’s Hull Points.
A decoy husk can also be used as weapon. If it enters the
hex of another vessel, a crew member aboard the deploying
starship can make a gunnery check against the target’s TL.
On a hit, the decoy explodes, dealing damage according
to its size—Small: 5d8; Medium: 5d10; Large: 10d8; Huge:
2d6 × 10; Colossal: 2d8 × 10. If the attack misses, the decoy
is still destroyed in the resulting explosion.
