BACK GROUND

The anti-warship pack is designed for the VF-1 Valkyrie. Unlike the Super VF-1 there are a few modifications that need to be made before a standard VF-1 Valkyrie can be converted into the SDP-1 Stampede. A unique feature of this conversion is the lack of the VF-1's Gerwalk mode. This is because the Gerwalk mode has little useful value in space. Another alteration due to the gestation of this great firepower ( ten times greater than on the VF-1) was the replacement of the head-unit by a new one. Apart from the weaponry and the weapon control systems, the global performances in others domains are roughly the same as on a Super VF-1.

Very few SDP-1 were made during the Space War I and they were used exclusively during the war for the Macross which was the sole source of production. The first production run was limited to only 8 SDP-1s for only one squadron. A second squadron was equipped with SDP-1 by the time Macross arrived back on Earth. The two Squadrons of 16 SDP-1s were seen in action against Bodolzaa and Laplamiz fleets in the final battle of the Space War One. After the war the remaining SDP-1s were assigned to Vrlitwhai's UN Spacy flagship, and helped in the capture of the factory satellite. After the war they remained in service in the UNSpacy and Vrlitwhai allied fleet until 2014. A total of 32 SDP-1s were eventually produced before the dawn of the New Era (2013).

FIXED ANTI-AIRCRAFT LASER CANNONS:

These are basically the same "head lasers" that the standard VF-1 Valkyrie has with a longer barrel. They are capable of firing 6000 pulse per minute. It is fixed mounted on the head when in Battroid mode, but located Fighter mode. 360 degree rotation. Both models have two attacks per melee or one extended blast.
• PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense
• SECONDARY PURPOSE: Tool for Cutting
• RANGE: 3000 feet (914 m)
• DAMAGE: 1D4 M.D. per laser. One long, extended blast lasts one full melee and does double damage; counts as two attacks that melee and can not be used against fast moving/dodging opponents.
• RATE OF FIRE: Equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks.
• PAYLOAD: Effectively Unlimited.


1. TRI-BARREL 35 mm GATLING GUN: The Gatling gun carried by the SDP-1 is tri-barreled like the VF-1's GU-11 gunpod. However the SDP-1's gun is only 35mm caliber and has a longer barrel. Range is increased by the the barrel and a high rate of fire makes damage equal to the GU-11. For Fighter mode the Gatling Gun is located on the left dorsal booster or the left arm in battroid mode.
   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense
   • RANGE: 5000 feet (1500 m)
   • DAMAGE:Does 6D6 M.D. per short burst, 1D6x10 M.D. per long burst, or 2D6x10 M.D. for a full melee burst. Spray mode, which is also avaliable, uses the same amount of ammo used in a full burst, does the same damage as a long burst but, can hit 1D4 different targets.
   • RATE OF FIRE: Equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks. However, only one full or spray per melee.
   • PAYLOAD: 600 rounds contained in a sealed rotating chain feed inside the barrel of the GU-11 equals to 40 short bursts, 20 long bursts, or 10 full melee bursts. The Gatling Cannon CANNOT be reloaded in the field; once all ammo has been expended the gun must be taken to a UN Spacy base for reloading.

   
   
2. HIGH CALIBER SINGLE-BARREL HEAVY PARTICLE BEAM CANNON: On the right dorsal pack/left arm of the Battroid the SDP-1 is a heavy particle beam cannon is similar to the RO-X2A found on NP-BP-02 Fast pack of the Strike Valkyrie. The SDP-1 Cannon is single-barreled yet a higher caliber that delivers much more damage then the double barrel R0-X2A. This cannon is was developed from the Particle Cannons of the ARMD class carriers.
   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense
   • RANGE: 10000 feet (3000 m)
   • DAMAGE: Does 1D4x100 M.D. per blast.
   • RATE OF FIRE: Many be fired at a rate of two blast per melee.
   • PAYLOAD: Effectively Unlimited.

3. HARD POINTS:
   Like the VF-1 Valkyrie, the SDP-1 is equipped with 4 hard points (2 per wing). Technically, they're exactly the same than the VF-1's hardpoints. Like the VF-1 the SDP-1 can carry a variety of ordinance on it's hard points. Missiles for the VF-1 can be found here. or the missiles stats of . Dave Dietrich can be used. Do to the Anti-Warship nature of the SDP-1 the RMS-1 Anti-Warship Missiles are the most commonly used. Either the following combinations can be used.
   • RMS-1 ANTI-WARSHIP MISSILES: (6) 2 per outboard hard point and 1 per inboard hard point.
   • AMM-1 Missiles: (12) 3 on each wing hard point.
   • UMM-7 Missile Pods: (4) 1 pod that carriers 15 missles can carried on each wing hard point.
   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense
     
   • RATE OF FIRE: 1 at a time or volleys of up to all missiles from each hard point.
   • PAYLOAD: Varies



4. FORWARD MICRO MISSILE LAUNCHERS: Each of the two dorsal boosters contains a micro-missile launcher. Each launcher has a capacity of 12 micro-missiles.
   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense
   • RANGE: 1 mile (1.6 km).
   • DAMAGE: 1D4x10 M.D.
   • RATE OF FIRE: Volleys of 2 or 4 missiles per laucher.
   • M.D.C Of LAUNCHER:100
   • PAYLOAD: Each launcher can carry 12 micro-missiles for a maximum total of 24.

5. MICRO MISSILES CLUSTERS LAUNCHERS:Each leg booster has two micro missiles clusters launchers. Each launcher (2 per leg) contains a cluster of 10 micro missiles, making a total of 40 missiles for both combined.
   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault/Defense RANGE: 1 mile (1.6 km). DAMAGE: 1D6x10 M.D.
   • RATE OF FIRE: Volleys 1-10 from max from each cluster. Mulitiple clusters can be fired at a time.
   • M.D.C Of LAUNCHER:100
   • PAYLOAD: Each cluster launcher can carry 10 micro-missiles for a maxium total of 40.
6. HAND TO HAND COMBAT: If necessary, the pilot of the Valkyrie can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon. The valkyrie is extremely agile and can execute most typical hand to hand combat moves, such as punches, jump kicks, leap attacks, rolling with impacts, etc.

   DAMAGE:

   • Restrained Punch: 1D4 M.D.
   • Full Strength Punch: 2D6 M.D.
   • "Booster" Punch: 3D6 M.D. (counts as two attacks)
   • Tear or Pry with Hands: 1D6 M.D.
   • Kick: 1D6 M.D.
   • Leap Kick: 2D6 M.D.
   • Body Flip/Throw: 1D4 M.D.
   • Body Block/Tackle: 1D6 M.D.
   • Stomp: 1D6 M.D. (only effective against small objects)

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE SDP-1:

• PROPELLANT TANK: A Large Propellant drop tanks is carried underneath the SDP-1 in fighter mode. The propellant tank provides extra fuel and thrust in fighter mode. It must be dropped before changing modes.
• AUTO-PILOT: The SDP-1 is equipped with a computerized auto-pilot, allowing the pilot to relax or even sleep during long voyages. The auto- pilot can be programmed with a single destination or a complex flight plan involving multiple speeds, directions, and destinations. The onboard computer will alert the pilot when the fighter is near its destination, and can also be set to automatically signal when sensors detect objects near the mecha. The auto-pilot was designed with long intra-system space journeys in mind.
• COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: The SDPF-1 is equipped with a combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. Data readouts and stats can be displayed either on the cockpit's HUD display or on the dashboard monitors of the aircraft. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 1,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 75 targets simultaneously.
• EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
• HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
• HOMING SIGNAL: The SDP-1 is equipped with a homing device that enables rescue teams to locate a disabled craft or ejected life pod. The range of the signal is 300 miles (480 km). Most UN Spacy ships and variable fighters can locate and track homing signals, and the onboard computers will automatically notify their pilots if such a signal is detected.
• LASER TARGETING SYSTEM: Range: 100 miles (160 km). Used for increased accuracy in the striking of enemy targets and is partly responsible for the mecha's strike bonus.
• LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
• OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
• OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
• OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
• RADAR: 250 mile (400 km) range. The greater range compared to standard VF-1 radar is due to the new Main optical Sensor Unit.
• RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
• SELF-DESTRUCT: To prevent capture of a variable fighter by the enemy, the pilot can activate the SDP-1's self-destruct system, which will cause the fighter to explode after a delay of up to 60 minutes (time is set by the pilot). The explosive damage is contained within a 20 foot (6 m) area and inflicts 1D6x10 M.D. to everything within the radius of the explosion. All internal systems are obliterated.
• STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All UN Spacy VFs come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
• TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The SDP-1's cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's flight suit that provides him with pressurized breathing. The UN Spacy flight suit also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot blacking out in combat.
