This AAB page documents errata for Zhodani (Alien Module).

• This is a specific Errata page.

Description (Specifications)

The following Errata has been copied from the various Errata's that have been compiled over the years.

• Inside Front Cover, Sectors of the Zhodani Consulate (correction): For Anzsidiadl, Zheranzanj, Tlabrielish, and Tazhdapl sectors on the map, either the wrong sector name is in parentheses (those are the Vargr names for those sectors) or they are missing. The correct names should be: Anzsidiadl (Ghoekhnael), Zheranzanj (Ksinanirz), Tlabrielish (Khoellighz), and Tazhdapl (Dhuerorrg).
• Page 20, Zhodani Sound Frequency Table, Final Consonants (correction): The total frequency of final consonants is 122, not 47.
• Page 21, Zhodani Word Generation tables (correction): There are several discrepancies between these tables and the frequency tables on page 20. To correct the generation tables: Initial Consonant Tables: Reduce CH occurrences to 5 from 12. Increase CHT occurrences from 7 to 12, D occurrences from 9 to 10, and N occurrences from 8 to 9. Place ST where it belongs in alphabetical order. Vowel Tables: Reduce E occurrences from 56 to 55. Increase N occurrences from 8 to 9.
• Page 23, Zhodani Careers (correction and omission): The fifth basic Zhodani career type, Government, was left off the list. The missing section should read: Government: Members, aids or assistants of various government councils which are responsible for administering the Consulate.
• Page 23, The Prior Career (correction): There is no “other” service for Zhodani characters; the missing career in the list is “Prole”.
• Page 35, Zhodani World Generation Checklist, Step 4D (correction): The formula for determining Planetary Hydrographics should be 2D–7+ atmosphere.
• Page 35, Technological Levels (correction): TL-7 should be “circa 1970 to 1980.”
• Page 35, Zhodani World Generation Checklist, Step 4E (omission): Reduce all pop 3– worlds to pop 0.
• Page 40, Standard Ship Design Plans, Zhodani Scout (correction and omission): The Zhodani scout uses a standard 100-ton hull. The ship costs MCr30.69.
• Page 40, Standard Ship Design Plans, Zhodani Trader (correction and omission): The Zhodani Trader uses a standard 400-ton hull. There are 9 tons of drive waste space; cargo capacity is 116 tons. The ship costs MCr124.16 (including 10% standard ship design discount) and takes 14 months to build.
• Page 40, Standard Ship Design Plans, Zhodani Liner (correction and omission): The Zhodani Liner uses an 800-ton standard hull. Cargo capacity is 50 tons, of which 24 tons is in the drive section. The ship costs MCr412.83 (including 10% standard ship design discount).
• Page 40-41, Standard Ship Design Plans, Zhodani Escort (correction): The Zhodani Escort costs MCr397.67 (including 10% discount for standard ship designs).
• Page 41, Standard Ship Design Plans, Zhodani Courier (correction): The Zhodani Courier costs MCr100.67 (including 10% standard ship design discount).
• Page 43, Weapons and Range Matrix (correction): The body pistol should have a Medium Range modifier of –6 (rather than +6), and a Wound Inflicted value of 2D (instead of 3D). Note that the Wound Modifier is listed correctly on page 38.
• Page 45, Maximum Activity Level, center column (correction): This is incorrect; the Book 3 rule should apply: “Each type of activity within a psionic field is assigned a level. A character may not perform that activity unless his or her personal psionic strength (unenhanced by psionic drugs) is equal to, or greater than, the level of the activity.”
• Page 46, Additional Game Rules, Worlds, Population (omission): All worlds with a population of 3 or less should be reduced to population 0. The Zhodani do not establish colonies without a minimum population of 4+, to insure that all worlds have a minimum mental health infrastructure.
• Page 47, The Echtovr Dazhia, Zhodani Council Cruiser (correction): The Zhodani Council Cruiser has a cargo capacity of 40 tons (plus the 11 tons available on the ZC). The ship costs MCr805.5 (not counting the cost of the ZC, but including a 10% standard ship design discount).
