MILITARY WATERCRAFT
The following are baselines for typical military watercraft powered by a motor.
Crew: Gargantuan craft list only minimum crew; their crews vary greatly by role, weapons systems, etc.
Belt Armor: Toughness marked (†) lists the typical Armor bonus for surface combatants reinforced with

warships sacrifice armor for speed— reduce Armor to half of Size and recalculate total Toughness accordingly.

Aircraft
SAVAGE WORLDS
CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT
This table covers primarily civilian aircraft built of lightweight materials like wood, aluminum, etc. Many
Industrial Age military aircraft were lightweight, wooden aircraft and should use these entries. Similarly,
Information Age aircraft often have military variants serving in non-combat roles.
Aerostats: Marked asterisk (*), these are generally the only Gargantuan aircraft available during the Industrial
Age, and their base speed reflects that—though experiments like the Spruce Goose did happen.
Cargo: Civilian aircraft Size (Large) and up carry cargo or passengers—cargo craft ignore the passenger listing.
Jet Aeroplanes: When converting jets increase the maximum speed greatly— many modern jet aircraft have
a cruising speed of 450 MPH or more; approaching Mach 1 (roughly 660 MPH, depending on atmosphere).

Converting Vehicles
MILITARY AIRCRAFT
This listing covers sturdy aircraft devoted to military service, wooden aircraft should use the civilian stats.
Future era aircraft are assumed to be more analogous to modern aircraft in propulsion and design. For more
fantastic propulsion types, use spacecraft or even industrial watercraft entries for Toughness, Speed, or Crew.
Armored Combat Aircraft: Entries marked asterisk (*) lists the typical Armor bonus for attack planes,
helicopters, and other vehicles with reinforced armor. Non-combat aircraft sacrifice armor for speed and
cargo—reduce Armor to half the listed amount and recalculate total Toughness accordingly.

Spacecraft
SAVAGE WORLDS
SPACECRAFT
The baselines for typical spacecraft assume no further paradigm-altering revolutions in the material sciences.
Around Size 25, spacecraft are assumed to transition toward more wide, squat, or spherical vessel shapes
instead of long, mass-conservative frames. Depending on the Setting and available types of propulsion, Size
25+ spacecraft are often incapable of entering atmospheres and instead will carry dropships for such tasks.
Modern Era Spacecraft represent what near-current technologies or a hard science fiction setting could
produce if economically viable for space resource exploitation, solar system colonization, and a resulting
uptick in the militarization of space. Alternatively, this level of spacecraft represents what would be possible
for Earth to press into service in the event of an extra-terrestrial emergency or threat of planetary invasion.
Future Era Spacecraft are those seen in science fiction and space opera universes where interstellar travel
and advanced technologies are common. For civilian spacecraft, use the Modern Era Toughness profile.
Crew: Gargantuan craft list only minimum crew; their crews vary greatly by role, weapons systems, etc.
