# Vehicles, Ships, and Aircraft *The Heavy Armory, Siege Engines, Great Guns, and Vehicle Weapons for Exodus NDS. Source: https://exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/heavy-armory/vehicles-ships-and-aircraft* Thirty-nine things to shoot at, and to shoot from. They use the vehicle statistics of the core rules. A Universe with its own vehicles uses those. **Armor** is at vehicle scale: 1 point is 10 points of Resistance. **Big ships are built to last.** From Scale 6 up, Hull and System Points are about double what smaller hulls would suggest. Several small ships attacking together can still hurt a large one: its Armor is modest, and each attacker after the first adds 1 Boon Die against a larger target, to a maximum of 3. **Weapons** name entries in this book. "A side" means a battery firing on one broadside. ## Land | Vehicle | Scale | Speed | Handling | Armor | Def | Hull | Sys | Crew | From | Typical weapons | |:--|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:--| | **Cart or wagon** | 2 | 1 | -1 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 1 | Ancient | None | | **War wagon** | 3 | 1 | -2 | 1 | 0 | 10 | 5 | 8 | Ancient | Organ Gun, or a wall crossbow from *The Ranged Armory* | | **Siege tower** | 5 | 1 | -4 | 1 | 0 | 24 | 8 | 40 | Ancient | A drawbridge.
