UZF Pulling Rank

Euer Patron hat 20 Punkte und euer Military Rank kostet [5/level]

Gear

On a successful AR, the petitioner can draw any equipment that’s standard issue for the organization and his role in it. Collecting it at one of the backer’s facilities is fastest. Delivery by courier is an option, but that can take a day or more – or 1d days for large items like vehicles. Some kinds of Rank are more effective here; e.g., Military Rank might obtain gear in the field via an airdrop in just 1d hours, or in even less time if superscience teleportation exists, and Magical Rank could conceivably achieve something similar for a wizard. “Standard issue” doesn’t always mean “ordinary.” If the organization has access to experimental or gee-whiz gadgetry, that’s a valid request. Mundane equipment has the same value as Cash (above) – including the factor of 10 if it will be returned – but tends to be easier than money to request and is often the only option for Military Rank. Modifiers: The AR modifiers for cash. For experimental gear with no fixed price tag, ignore $ value but apply an extra -5 (e.g., -3 for an effective 20-point Patron). Mission-specific gear of any kind almost always enjoys +5 for an “appropriate” request. For instance, a sergeant (Rank 2) in a modern army (effective 25-point Patron) has a base AR of 3, but when requesting an ammo drop for his squad, he’d get +4 for a wealthy backer and +5 for an appropriate request, giving 12 or less – rising to 13 or less with a success vs. Leadership.

Information

Northrop Grumman RQ-4 BLOCK 40 - Global Hawk

Die Drohne wurde durch die Gruppe im Mai 2015 von der Ramstein AFB geholt.

Die Drohne fliegt mit 570 km/h und kann 34h lang in der Luft sein. Sie fliegt auf 60'000 Fuss und hat keine Waffen an Bord sondern dient der Aufklärung.

Evacuation

Physically plucking people from danger is a hallmark of organizations that bestow Military Rank and expansive varieties of Police Rank. It also fits the apparatus behind Administrative, Feudal, Political, and Religious Rank, if they regard Rank-holders as VIPs. Evacuation is overt and available only in friendly or openly contested territory (contrast Insertion/Extraction, pp. 14- 15). High-tech help like a helicopter or an ambulance arrives in 1d+10 minutes, but 1d hours or worse is typical at lower TLs or in remote areas. Modifiers: The +1 to +5 for an “appropriate” request always applies if the PC got into trouble on a legitimate mission. If evacuation is because he’s injured (medevac), add an extra +5, giving up to +10 in total.

Fire Support

Those with Military Rank – and almost never other kinds – might be able to call in an air strike, armed drone attack, artillery barrage, or naval or orbital bombardment. If this is preplanned, it may well happen as soon as the signal is received, and the speed limit is that of communications at the campaign TL (and of course the fire itself!). For unplanned fires, the GM should add at least 1d minutes to any delay and/or require the person who requested the mission to make a Forward Observer roll.

Modifiers: -5 outside a combat zone, worsening to -10 infriendly territory. The GM should be strict about this, and apply further penalties for especially egregious abuses, requests for strategic weapons, etc.

Weapons (Just some samples)

• 20mm M61 Gatling Cannon (use the stats from 4ED HT)
• MK-82 "Snakeye" (use the stats from 4ED HT) - "Dumb" Bomb
• AIM-9M (use the stats for the AIM-9L in 4ED HT) - Heat (IR) Seeking
• AIM-120 AMRAAM (Acc 4, Spd 950, Max 54500, Damage 6dx11 [9d] cr ex) - RADAR Seeking
• AGM-65D "Maverick" (Acc 4, Spd 350, Max 29900, Damage 6dx23 (10) pi++ and 6dx10 [6dx3] cr ex follow-up) - Heat (IR) Seeking

Notes: The F-15E is equipped with a APG-63(V)3 "AESA" high resolution imaging multi-mode RADAR which is capable of finding air/ground targets at ranges exceeding 100-miles. Within 10-miles (in GURPS terms) the RADAR can produce high resolution images of the target area, enabling the "Weapons System Officer (WSO)" to indentify targets. The RADAR can be used to "lock on" on both air and ground targets (giving a bonus of +3 for attacks).

The F-15E also have two underslung pods (LANTIRN), the first is the "AN/AAQ-13 Navigation Pod" and the second is the "AN/AAQ-14 Target Pod".

The "AN/AAQ-13" pod houses a FLIR sensor and terrain-following RADAR. This allows the pilot to fly "hands-off" at low altitudes during bad weather conditions and at night. The FLIR can be slaved onto the pilots HUDWACS (in effect giving him Infravision).

The "AN/AAQ-14" pod includes a FLIR sensor with 2x-16x magnification; a Laser Designator/Range Finder (10-miles range) and a CCD-TV camera with 4x-10x magnification. The FLIR sensor is used to display images of targets for the pilot and the "WSO" and can be locked to follow specific targets. The Laser Designator/Range Finder is used to "paint" targets for laser-guided munitions, and the CCD-TV can be used to indentify or find targets during day-time operations.

The F-15E is also equipped with an "ECM" suite consisting of a automatic chaff/flare dispenser (effectively giving anyone targeting the F-15E a penalty of -5 with IR seeking and RADAR seeking weapons). It also has a deceptive RADAR jammer (giving a searching RADAR a penalty of -5). The "Electronic Support Measures" or ESM, gives the pilot a +1 bonus to Dodge against any aimed attacks made by RADAR or IR homing weapons.

For navigation; the F-15E has an inertial navigation system with a laser gyroscope. The WSO and pilot have access to moving electronic maps which in turn gives them Absolute Direction and a bonus of +6 to Navigation (Air).
