* [[Critical Hit]]: Built into the game. Hit a ship hard enough, and you'll inflict lasting damage. Get Boxcars or Snake eyes on the critical table, and the ship undergoes [[Critical Existence Failure]].

* [[Desperation Attack]]: Ramming; it can only be done when a ship is on 1 HP, and will only work 1/6 of the time. The other ship can also try to evade it. If it works, however, both ships take a critical hit, and bad things will happen.

* [[Fanon]]: Pretty much any piece of background material not from the rulebook proper. <ref>there's not much of either, in any case</ref>

* [[Fixed Forward-Facing Weapon]]: The Dindrenzi's Hat. Given that these tend to be [[BFG]]s, it's just as well their arc of fire is limited.

* [[Standard Starship Scuffle]]: The game is built around this ideal. That said, the ranges are reasonable if one extrapolates the scale. <ref>you might need a calculator</ref>

* [[Subspace or Hyperspace]]: Foldspace. Stated to work by folding distant points of space together. Range is rather limited however.
