Game Note: Shields, advanced Mon Calamari-designed deflector shield subsystems can increase overall shield output for limited stints without burning out the shield projectors. A Moderate capital ship shields roll is necessary to boost the shields to full output. The difficulty increases one level for every 3 rounds the shields remain boosted, failing this roll means the shields flicker out for one round, and can’t be boosted again for the duration of the encounter.

Background: The Assault Frigate Mark II was a light warship that saw extensive service with the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.
The Assault Frigate Mk. II was a further development of the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser modification project, which produced the Mark I Assault Frigate. Although the modification procedures allowed for some variation between individual craft, the most common assault frigate configuration had large dorsal engine fins, and could operate with less than a third of the Dreadnaught’s crew requirements (4,820 nominal / 1600 minimum) thanks to extensive automation systems.
The Assault Frigate Mark II incorporated a shield generator based on Mon Calamari designs, as well as Calamari shield subsystems that allowed an increase in shield power for short periods.
