PLASMA
DESTROYER
Plasma Destroyer (Fire, Construct)
Ten feet tall, this robot shimmers with an inner heat, its armor barely containing the star-like fires
burning inside. Its sensor blister scans the area for signs of life, victims of its next attack.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fire Aura (Su) An Plasma Destroyer is surrounded by an aura of intense heat. All creatures within 5 feet take 1d6 points of fire
damage at the beginning of the Plasma Destroyer’s turn.
Construct Immunities (Ex) Constructs are immune to bleed, death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects, necromancy effects,
paralysis, poison, sleep, and stunning. They are also immune to ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, exhaustion, fatigue,
nonlethal damage, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect works on objects or is harmless). Effects that
specifically state they override these immunities affect constructs normally.
Plasma Rays (Su) As a standard action, a Plasma Destroyer can fire 1d4 plasma rays at up to 4 separate targets within 60 feet (no
more than one ray can attack a single creature). Each ray deals 3d6 points of electricity damage and 3d6 points of fire damage on
a hit.
Fire Sight (Ex) A Plasma Destroyer can see through fire and smoke without penalty, ignoring any cover or concealment bonuses
from fire and smoke. Plasma Destroyers are immune to the dazzled condition.
Unliving (Ex) A Plasma Destroyer has no Constitution modifier and is immediately destroyed when it reaches 0 Hit Points. An
unliving creature doesn’t recover from damage naturally, but a construct can be repaired with the right tools or healed with spells
like make whole. Unliving creatures don’t breathe, eat, or sleep. They can’t be raised or resurrected.

DESTROYER – LARGE SAGITTARIAN ENGINEERING CHECK DC’S

DC 15 Though uncertain of which type, the size of the robot before you marks it out as one of the Destroyers. This result reveals
all construct traits.
DC 20 This massive construct is a Plasma Destroyer, a brutal, ruthless and militaristic creation of the Sagittarian race bent on
destroying all organic life. Plasma Destroyers can inflict searing burns on a target, blinding targets not resistant to the
deadly robot’s attacks. Their vision is also unimpaired by fire and smoke. Plasma Destroyers usually speak Binary, Kopek
and Galactic languages. This result reveals all Fire subtype traits.
DC 25 As is common to their kind, Plasma Destroyers are expert ranged combatants. Unlike most of their kind however, they
burn their enemies with a Plasma Cannon and Grenade Launcher.
DC 30 Plasma Destroyers are usually part of a first strike, and typically part of a well-organized military group, which includes
the Sentient Death’s Head Destroyers and Berserkers amongst their numbers.

 Destroyer Ecology
The Destroyers are giant robots sent to wipe
out life in the Milky Way galaxy by desperate
aliens in the tattered remains of the Sagittarius
galaxy.
Many of the stars in the smaller galaxy are
metal poor, leaving the inhabitants with few
resources with which to colonize our galaxy.
First and second wave invasions used robot
seedships that seized native materials on arriv-
al to build their armies. The first wave included
‘elemental’ destroyers that use the powers of
cold, plasma, death and electricity against the
living.
Habitat & Society
Of the first wave destroyers, all of the ele-
mental destroyers serve the Death’s Head: it
alone was imbued with the thinking mind of
a Sagittarian commander. It commands all the
forces that came on the seedship with it. Next
are the lieutenants of the Hierarchy, the so-
called “elemental” Destroyers: cold, plasma,
and electricity. Beneath the Death’s Head and
Elementals are the second model Destroy-
ers; built in the likeness of the Death’s Head,
these were intended to be fully-automated and
mass-produced. Somehow, the operation never
completed, and the goal a mass-produced field
command unit was never realized. First model
Destroyers were made from start to collect raw
materials and build whatever their directives
required. With the failure of the second model
Destroyers, the first and second models now
perform many menial tasks in the Hierarchy.
and were the lowest of the low until the small-
er humanoid Berserkers were built in the third
wave.
Campaign Role
As Lieutenants in the Sagittarian hierarchy,
Plasma Destroyers often lead attacks on space
stations, settlements, and other small populat-
ed areas to prepare the way for their masters.
Attacks on mining operations are often used to
gather war materials and build new soldiers.
Sometimes a lone destroyer is sent to accom-
2 Galaxy Pirates
plish some end, to which the Plasma Destroyer
makes an excellent ambusher in hot environ-
ments. As the Sagittarian waves have happened
over tens of thousands of years, a lone destroy-
er may also be the survivor of an attack thou-
sands of years ago, awoken by new activity or
the distant command of an oncoming enemy.
Predation
Plasma Destroyers seeking to ambush their
targets will use its Grenade Launcher at range
with hopes of blinding its victims in order to
close the distance and then use its Cold Array
before cleaving as many as possible with its
great claws. Destroyers will seek to use fire and
smoke to their advantage as many creatures
cannot see well in such conditions.
Destroyers don’t normally talk to the living,
they don’t compromise with their enemy and
though they do speak a few languages its usu-
ally terse entreaties for their victims to die.
While much of a destroyer’s body isn’t use-
ful beyond the scrap value of its materials,
the plasma cannon built into its left arm may
sometimes be recovered depending on the
nature of the robot’s demise.
The destroyer can shut down its primary
functions to conserver power for thousands
of years while its primitive nanotech repair
system works to rebuild it. This may explain
seemingly totaled robots emerging years later
to do battle with unwary settlers years after an
area was declared safe.
Emergent Behaviors
Plasma Destroyers will often command a
group of fire enhanced Berserkers, their small-
er models have similar capabilities when see-
ing through fire and smoke making them ideal
partners for the destroyer.
