[These are ship sized creatures] Flare crawlers or Space Dragons are space dwelling creatures whose food source are stars themselves. A flare crawler will soar through the corona of a star and accumulate the energy it requires to survive. A typical flare crawler functions as a ship of varying size. Special rules govern their combat abilities etc. The color of a crawler depends on the color of the star that they feed off of, this differentiate them into flights. Flare Crawlers look like a combination of a mythical dragon and a butterfly. They are 4 legged kinda metallic reptilians with 2 large butterfly like wings. They have a metallic sheen and are the color of the star they were raised near. They have no mouth but have thick tentacle like whiskers on their head. 6 large jewel like eyes round out their face.

Flare Crawlers are ships and characters. They Fly through the void of space and feed off stars. This necessitates some special rules. Flare Crawlers do have technology but mainly have what they need to defend themselves. Flare Crawlers are ship sized creatures. Their Sizes is dependent on their age and color. Their color is determined by the color of the star that they feed off of. Flare crawlers are considered to be equipped with a science bay and a hyperdrive and may perform actions as those modules. Flare crawlers have a generic skill that is a catch all for all functions (attacks, programming the hyperdrive, etc). Is the Flare Crawler is Psychics use the generic skill for PSI also. The following chart shows the average stats of a flare crawler based on its age and spectrum. White Crawler hatchlings are missile sized, White Crawlers are all considered fighter size as are non-white hatchlings. Crawlers do not use power to use their abilities they are all free. All Crawlers move like fighter are have no facing (see chart for their speed). Speed indicated their movement, see the movement chart to see how may spaces a crawler can move in a given phase. They do not have to use all their movement but once forfeited its lost. Hits are the amount of damage a crawler can take before it dies, a Crawler (regardless of size) is considered one module. So if it were hit with a 3d blast you would take the actual die roll of the highest roll and the others would be excess (i.e. one point of damage). If a crawler has shields they are always considered on. Guns is the number of 1d6 shots a crawler may take in a given round, follow regular firing rules as a blast cannon. A crawler may use its breath once per round. Treat the attack as a standard blast cannon at the listed level, but if any modules are damaged with an odd numbered roll it catches fire. Ram is an indicator of the physical damage s crawler can inflict on a vessel with its claws, it is not an actual ram. If a crawler is in the same space as a ship they can declare a ram (this can be done every other phase). While a crawler is ramming it has los to all the enemies weapons. The ram number is the effective speed and size used to attack (if a crawler actually rammed a ship it would hurt itself badly. The occ of the target vessel effects the attacking crawler. If a white crawler hatchling GǣramsGǥ and hits a module it penetrates (it can partially get in) the hull it gets to automatically ram that module every phase until it's broken. Cargo refers to the number of Flare crawler equipment that the creature can equip/ have. Finally flare crawlers are sometimes psychic, use their generic skill for psi. For each level they get one flare crawler psi ability.
