(Z44.4) DESIGNER’S INFORMATION

In working on Module Y3, I found it convenient for myown use to consolidate all of the annexes from Modules Y1and Y2 into a single place for reference. This made it easierfor me to find bits of information without, obviously, having toopen different rulebooks at different times. Once I hadassembled the annexes, to further ease things I incorporateddirectly into them any errata or changes that had been madesince the original modules went to press. Having all of theEarly Years annexes in one place, I then decided to add theone “missing” ship from the set: the conjectural Andorianearly dreadnought from Stellar Shadow Journal #1.

Once Module Y3 was completed, I mentioned to StephenV. Cole that I had created this document and gave him a copyto review. He decided that perhaps it might be something thatplayers who are interested in the Early Years might also findconvenient. This led to a number of changes in the originaldocument I had assembled. All of them were made to further

enhance the ease of use of the assembled data. What youare holding is a polished product from a very rough collectionof data.

One change was to add empire specific header bars tothe Master Ship Charts. Each empire has its own pages (or insome cases simply its own page) with a header on each pagethat tells you the empire you are looking at. There is animprovement over how things were done in Module G3 in thatthe empire rule number is on the outside of each page foreasier reference. Further, rather than the Master Ship Chartbeing at the back of the book, it was incorporated into thebook in the same manner as it was in Module G3. This wasalso done with Annexes #3A and #4. Thus all of the annexesare in order.

Other items that were in Module G3 were alsoincorporated into Module YG3 even though, technically, theywere not really part of the annexes, these being the “shuttledeck” and “base rotation rate change” entries. Alsoincorporated was the carrier data for the one and only EarlyYears carrier.

I extracted the scenarios of the Early Years into their ownindex, but lacking a page to place them, had to include themin blank spaces on the Master Ship Charts. I also included anextract of the chronological listing for the Early Yearsscenarios, and updated both to include the scenarios thatwere in Module Y3 and Captain’s Log #41. This is not aperfect solution, but as a compromise it at least does give youa starting point to find the scenarios.

At the request of the proofreaders, the data in DamagePriority Rule Update under Annex #7E was simplified to onlyinclude the weapons used in the Early Years of the AlphaOctant; Magellanic Cloud and Omega Octant weapons weredeleted.

This product did not start as anything more thansomething to make doing Module Y3 easier by putting all ofthe information in one place and fully integrating it. I hope thatit will be of use to all players in the Early Years.

DEDICATIONThis product is dedicated to the individual augmentees of
