Signup
Sign up for one faction. You will command that faction's space fleet and boarding party. Factions whose names are in red are taken, and factions whose names are in orange are reserved.

Miscellaneous
See the Frictionless movement rules to understand how ships move in this game.
To determine if an attack hits, you roll the weapon's Accuracy against the target's Silhouette value. If the accuracy roll is equal to or higher than the silhouette value, your attack hits.
Hit points are the same thing as wounds: you need to overcome the target's armor value once for each wound you deal.
Gun-type weapons can make response attacks, but cannot fire if your ship is using a special ability on that turn. Missiles can fire while your ship is using its special ability, but can't make response attacks.
Multiple weapons on the same ship, firing against the same target, can combine their damage rolls.
Ships can target individual weapons on an enemy ship; all weapons have a Silhouette value of 9, 1 HP, and an Armor value of one less than the ship they are mounted on.

Objectives
The known factions are divided into two teams of three; each team is allied for the duration of the battle. Their objective is to completely eliminate the other team's spacecraft and boarding troops. The secret factions' objectives will be PM'd to their players. They are unaligned by default but may ally themselves with any individual faction or team.

The Mothership
The T.L.A. mothership starts out unable to move or fire. Each faction has a boarding party which either starts aboard the Mothership's command module (T.L.A. and Vol) or can be deployed onto the mothership by one of their naval vessels (All others).
The mothership's command module contains five computers, visible by the 1X1 trans-red circular pieces located atop each one. In order to activate the mothership, all five computers must be manually rebooted; to reboot a computer, move one of your Minifigs next to it and have him spend an Action.
Once reactivated, the mothership is controlled from the three seats on the bridge. The center seat is the Helm (turning and acceleration); the left-side seat is Fire Control (lasers, gauss cannon, and EMP generator); the right-side seat is Tactical control (Torpedo and missile launchers and any torpedoes in flight). Here are the complete stats for the Mothership:

Acceleration: 2"
Armor: 4D10
Silhouette: 3
HP: 6

Weapons:
Rail gun
Range Damage Accuracy
18" (min 6") 9D6 1D6 + 3
Torpedo launcher X2
Each launcher fires a single torpedo, which is controlled by the player like a small spacecraft and can be detonated whenever the player chooses to produce an explosion with 2" radius and 6D6 damage. Each torpedo-armed ship may have only two torpedoes on the field at a time.

Range Damage Accuracy Ammo

Light Laser X2
Range Damage Accuracy

EMP Generator
A ship which is hit by the EMP generator cannot move, use special abilities, or fire until the effect wears off. The EMP generator's strength must overwhelm the target's armor to disable it. The attacker may roll for "overkill" damage to disable the target for more than 1 turn.
Range Strength Accuracy
6" (finger cone) 4D6 2D6 + 2

Because the shuttle is very fragile, I would not recommend launching it until you are less than 12" away from the Mothership, so you can make the crossing in one turn.

Can I control two factions just for the sake of saying I did? If I'm against myself, that's extra funny: I can still do that fairly.

OK, not too many people seem to be interested in this one, so I'm giving the Vol to mgb519 and closing the signup. Everybody send in your orders.

EDIT: I was worried the big ships wouldn't make it close enough to the battle for a few turns, so I moved them a bit closer in. It's not worth posting a new Overwatch, but be aware of it.
Thanks to everyone who sent in orders so far. I still need Heavyfishcannon and Falk.
