# Signature Components

*Openframe Ship Catalog, Modular Hulls of the Antaean League for Void Drifters. Source: https://exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/openframe/signature-components*

Modules and systems that only Openframe builds. They are Native aboard an Openframe hull and Certified aboard a Crown Meridian, Kharos or Viridian hull, where they keep their effects. Aboard a Safa hull they are Adapted (Chapter 11).

## Reading a Component

**Slots** and **Minimum Scale** work as in the module catalog (Vehicles Manual, Chapter Ten, Appendix: Module Catalog). **Cost** is a multiplier on the base module price for the hull's Scale (Vehicles Manual, Chapter Twelve). **Acquisition** is who may own it. A component marked Licensed is Licensed in the sense of the ownership rules; the Licensed slot rule (Chapter 4) applies to whichever slot it sits in.

| Component | Slots | Min Scale | Cost | Acquisition |
|:--|:-:|:-:|:-:|:--|
| Cargo Clamp Rail | 1 | 1 | ×1.0 | Open |
| Pod Interface | 1 | 1 | ×1.2 | Open |
| Manifest Transponder | 1 | 1 | ×1.0 | Open |
| Trade Office | 1 | 1 | ×1.5 | Licensed |
| Mission Section | 2 | 4 | ×2.0 | Licensed |
| Docking Collar Set | 1 | 3 | ×1.2 | Open |
| License Terminal | 1 | 1 | ×1.0 | Open |
| Support Craft Cradle Set | 1 | 3 | ×1.5 | Licensed |

*Costs and rules here are first proposals and need table testing.*

**Cargo Clamp Rail.** A rail of standard clamps along the spine. It holds six pods at Scale 4 and below and twelve above. Cargo handling checks made on its pods remove 1 Bane Die <span class="dice sm bane d6"></span>.

**Pod Interface.** A standard mount that takes any Openframe pod. Fitting or removing a pod takes one Action, with no Craft check, at a port with a loader.

**Manifest Transponder.** Transmits the ship's manifest and license status to every port. Customs declaration checks add 1 Boon Die <span class="dice sm boon d6"></span>. A manifest that does not match the fitted modules raises Authority Heat.

**Trade Office.** A shipboard office with access to the League's contract exchanges. Negotiation checks for a cargo contract add 1 Boon Die <span class="dice sm boon d6"></span> at a port with a League exchange.

**Mission Section.** A swappable workshop, lab or clinic container. While active, it counts as a Workshop, a Science Lab or a Medical Bay (the crew chooses when it is installed), and checks made with it add 1 Boon Die <span class="dice sm boon d6"></span>. Changing the active section takes half the normal time.

**Docking Collar Set.** Standard docking collars that fit every League port without adapters. Docking Pilot checks remove 1 Bane Die <span class="dice sm bane d6"></span>.

**License Terminal.** Shows the status of every Licensed slot, warns before a license lapses, and renews it by relay. A lapsed license can be restored within a day with no penalty fee.

**Support Craft Cradle Set.** Cradles for work pods and small craft: an External Docking Cradle for one craft of Scale 2 or 3. A craft launched from them adds 1 Boon Die <span class="dice sm boon d6"></span> to its first Pilot check (this is the Support Craft and Workshops benefit, Chapter 4; it does not add a second die).
