Hello Explorers!

The Frontier Explorer presents

Sathar Destroyer Technical Manual cover imageThe Sathar Destroyer Technical Manual

The Sathar! They have repeatedly invaded the Frontier and their deadly red ships have always remained a mystery. Rumors abound that top secret UPF files exist giving details on sathar ship interiors and details of the sathar culture and military. No UPF official has ever admitted to the existence of this information.

Now, The Frontier Explorer presents to citizens of the Frontier the deck plans of a sathar destroyer. These plans were recently declassified from Starfleet records and represent data obtained from an undetonated derelict ship found drifting since the First Sathar War. These plans reveal the true alienness of these creatures and underscore the terror that these ships should instill in all Frontier citizens.

This 30 page document contains complete maps and descriptions of the interior of the sathar destroyer, the most common sathar vessel found in the Star Frontiers game. It also includes information on the the philosophy of the ship's design and cultural elements about the sathar to allow game masters to develop similar plans for other ships. While the sathar are specific to Star Frontiers, this ship and deck plans can be easily adapated for use in other game systems.

In addition to the PDF with the ship descriptions, the download includes two sets of full scale maps. Both sets were produced at 100dpi and have a scale of 1 half inch (50 pixels) = 1 meter. The first set has a half inch square grid superimposed on it and is designed to be printed and used for tabletop play with miniatures or the counters provided in the Star Frontiers game. The second set is identical but has had the grid removed to be used with virtual tabletop game systems.

As is true with all the Frontier Explorer products, and per our agreement with Wizards of the Coast in creating Star Frontiers material, this download is completely free. But while we can't charge for our products, we are allowed to accept donations and “tips” from interested users. The Frontier Explorer Presents series is our “tip jar”. As such, we are releasing this project as a pay-what-you-want product to allow donations from the community to help support the Frontier Explorer.

If you like what you've seen in the published issues of the Frontier Explorer magazine and want to help keep it going, consider making a donation when you download this title by making a non-zero donation in the price box. If you don't want to contribute, that's fine as well. Enjoy the free deck plans.

All donations go toward maintaining the magazine's website and producing the magazine and special issues.

We hope you enjoy this special Frontier Explorer Presents issue. As always, keep exploring!

As I Usually "Think" In Traveller
And Am No Respecter Of Origin when I Need A Ship For An Encounter or Scenario ;)
It Would Be Convenient If You Provided Approximate Cubic Meters In Ship Details
Thank You

It's not in the summary information but it is mentioned in the text on page 2 in the Technical Data section. For this particular ship, the volume is just over 48,000 cubic meters (excluding the engines). I have the exact number somewhere but I'd have to dig it up from several years ago (or recalculate it).

Having it explicitly called out is a good idea though and I'll keep that in mind for future ships.

It would have been nice to actually be able to download this product. But that part of the page seems to be missing.

William, I'm sorry you are having problems downloading the document and related maps. I'm not sure what the issue is that you are experiencing with the download process as we've had quit a number of downloads of the product without any problems.

If you can't get the download to work after adding the product to your cart and going through the checkout process, that would seem to be an issue to take up with the site owners. I'm sorry about the inconvinience. Drop me a line at editors@frontierexplorer.org and we'll get you squared away.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
