Battle Damage Chart

This page is linked to from Giving and Receiving Damage in Space Ships. This is regarding the Battle Damage Die Roll done when a ship receives battle damage. It is 2d6 and determines the base repair DC as well as any side effects the ship may incur.

The DC is determined by both the 2d6 roll and the enemy’s Ship's Weapons Mod + Weapon’s Officer’s Wisdom or Dexterity score (whichever they prefer). For example, a Battle Damage roll of 8 would be 'Blown Cpacitor' which has a base DC of 10. So it would be 10 + Ship’s Weapons Mod + Weapon’s Officer’s Wis or Dex. Repairing the effect of Battle Damage is always a DC of 15.
