Create a Crawler
Once all players have created their Pilot and Mech, the final step is for everyone to create the Union Crawler they share.
Your Union Crawler is a huge and sprawling Mech, effectively a walking settlement. A Tech 1 starting Union Crawler is about the size of a small village whilst the largest Crawlers are the size of cities.
Choose a Crawler Type
Your Crawler type provides a unique Ability that only it can do, as well as a special NPC who resides on the Crawler and confers their own bonuses. You can choose from the following list.
Trade Caravan
Your Crawler is geared towards trade in the wastelands, giving you better deals and attracting more folk willing to trade better quality goods
Improved Trading Bay
When you roll to see what is available in the Trading Bay use this table instead. Trade available is always one Tech Level higher than your Union Crawler and can be purchased for its Salvage Value as per the normal trading rules. Chassis, Systems, and Modules available for trade are determined randomly or by the Mediator.
ROLL THE DIE:
| Roll | Result |
|---|---|
20 | An Intact Mech Chassis, System, and Module are all available for trade. |
11-19 | An Intact Mech Chassis and an Intact System are available for trade. |
6-10 | An Intact Mech Chassis and an Intact Module are available for trade. |
2-5 | An Intact System and an Intact Module are available for trade. |

The Mechapult is an invention that could only have been thought of by salvagers. Scrap has many uses in the wastelands from trade, from crafting to repair and most obviously launching at high velocity towards whoever looked at you the wrong way.
A Mechapult must be loaded with one piece of Scrap to fire. The effect is randomly determined and differs based on the Tech Level of Scrap you choose. Choose a target in Range to fire the Mechapult at. Instead of making an attack roll, roll the die on the table below to determine the effect. You may Push this roll as normal. The Scrap is always destroyed irrespective of the result.

18 | The scrap carves through the target flaying chunks off of it. A number of random Systems equal to the Tech Level of the Scrap on the target are damaged. In addition, it takes SP damage equal to tHe₂× Tech Level of the Scrap. |
17 | A bundle of carbon fibre rods fire at the target. It takes SP damage equal to 3× the Tech Level of the Scrap and is skewered to the ground. It cannot move and gains the Vulnerable Trait until it takes an action to free itself. |
16 | Shards of refractive glass fire at the target. It is hit for SP damage equal to 2× the Tech Level of the Scrap and the area around the target is hit by multiple rays of dazzling light, blinding the target and everything within Close Range for one round. |
15 | A chaotic mess of circuit boards hits the target causing a static discharge. The target Mech is Shutdown for one turn. |
14 | The Mechapult was loaded with crude oil. The target is hit for SP damage equal to 2× the Tech Level of the Scrap and the area around them is coated in slippery, flammable oil. This can be ignited and moving within it can cause a Mech or Creature to fall prone. |
13 | Streams of superheated gas lash out at the target. The attack deals SP damage equal to tHe₂× the Tech Level of the Scrap and the attack has the BurnX Trait, where X is the Tech Level of the Scrap. |
12 | The target is struck by dense coils of wiring looms which wind around it. It takes SP damage equal to 2× the Tech Level of the Scrap and falls Prone. |
11 | Heavy superconductors charged with electricity arc towards the target. The target and up to three other targets within Medium Range of the target of your choice each take SP damage equal to 2× the Tech Level of the Scrap. Each of these attacks count as having the Ion Trait. |
10 | A leaky uranium shell strikes the target. It takes SP damage equal to 3× the Tech Level of the Scrap. The target and the area within Close Range of it becomes Irradiated. |
9 | A superheated lump of scrap is fired at the target. The target is hit for SP damage equal to 2× the Tech Level of the Scrap and this attack has the ExplosiveX and BurnX Trait where X is the Tech Level of the Scrap. Your Mech gains 2 Heat and must make a Heat Check. |
8 | Splat! A wasteland critter was inadvertently caught in the Mechapult when it launched and has smeared gore over the target. The target is hit for Tech Level of the Scrap and must make a Morale Check. |
7 | The Mechapult guzzles up another piece of Scrap and fires them both. A random piece of Scrap your Mech is carrying is loaded onto the Mechapult. Roll on the Mechapult Table twice and resolve both results. If you have no other Scrap, then roll once on the Mechapult Table and resolve the result. |
6 | A shower of pistons, gears, and mechanisms scatters across the area wildly. Every target within Long Range, including Allies, takes SP damage equal to the Tech Level of the Scrap. |
5 | Dense slabs of rigid plastics fire from the Mechapult into the ground around you. These act as a barricade protecting your Mech from harm. For the next 10 minutes you may use them as though they were a single Armour Plating System. |
4 | The Mechapult swings wildly out of control. Your Mech spins in a random direction and hits a random target within Range for SP damage equal to 3× the Tech Level of the Scrap. |
3 | The Mechapult backfires, hitting a random Ally in Range for SP damage equal to the Tech Level of the Scrap. |
2 | The Mechapult overloads collapsing in on itself. Your Mech takes damage equal to the Tech Level of the Scrap and the Mechapult is damaged. |

Name the Crawler's NPCs
The Crawler is made of a number of Bays. Each Bay has an NPC assigned to it based on their experience and skill in operating the Bay. You can flesh them out with a Name, Background, Keepsake, and Motto. Each has 4 HP.
Pilot Bay
This area is where your Pilots are able to rest and entertain themselves during Downtime. It also allows your Pilots to train new Abilities. Training in the Pilot Bay during Downtime provides you one Training Point, which you can spend on new Abilities.
- Tech 1-2:
•Allows training of all Core Pilot Abilities.
- Tech 3-4:
•Allows training of all Core, Advanced, and Hybrid Class Pilot Abilities.
- Tech 5-6:
•Allows training of all Core, Advanced, Hybrid Class, and Legendary Pilot Abilities.
Pilot Training Points (TP)
You may spend your Training Points to train your Pilot Abilities. Once spent, you gain access to the Abilities.
Core Abilities cost 1 Training Point to train. You must have the preceding Ability in a Core Ability Tree to train the new Ability. For example, to train the Hauler Ability 'No Job Too Big' you must take the Ability 'Let's Make a Deal' first.
Advanced and Hybrid Class Abilities cost 2 Training Points to train. You must have training in 6 Core Abilities before you train in Advanced or Hybrid Class Abilities. You must have the preceding Ability in the Advanced or Hybrid Ability Tree to train the new Ability.
Legendary Abilities cost 3 Training Points to train. You must have 6 Core Abilities and 3 Advanced or Hybrid Class Abilities trained before you train a Legendary Ability. You may only have one Legendary Ability.
You may also spend 1 Training Point to forget any Ability you have learned to make room for another Ability.
Advanced Pilot Training
To specialise in an Advanced Ability Tree a Pilot must have training in any 6 Core Abilities they have access to.
When a Pilot starts to train Advanced Abilities, they have a choice. They can specialise in their chosen Pilot Class or they can adopt a new Pilot Class, keeping their existing Abilities and also gaining access to new Abilities unique to that Class.
For example, an Engineer can specialise and take Abilities from the Advanced Engineer Tree. They retain access to all Engineer Core Abilities as well. They also gain access to the Legendary Engineer Tree.
Hybrid Pilot Training
The Engineer can instead choose to become a Fabricator, in which case they gain access to the Fabricator Tree, the Forging Tree, and the Electronics Tree.
They still retain access to all their trained Engineer Core Abilities, but cannot learn new ones. They can now only learn Abilities from the Fabricator Core Abilities They are also able to train Abilities from the Legendary Fabricator Tree.
They can also choose to become a Union Rep, in which case they gain access to the Union Rep Tree, the Mechanical Knowledge Tree, and the Trading Tree. They retain access to all their trained Engineer Core Abilities, and as with the Fabricator can now only pick from the Union Rep Trees.
Once this decision is made it is final, and Pilots cannot choose to specialise in another Advanced or Hybrid Class.
Legendary Abilities
Once a Pilot has 6 Core Abilities and 3 Advanced Abilities they may train in one of their Legendary Abilities by spending 3 Training Points.
Stat Training
As Pilots advance and get access to higher Tech Level Pilot Bays their statistics improve as well.
You will gain each of these benefits only once when you reach the specified Tech Level. You may only gain this benefit if you have already gained the previous benefit.
For example, you can only train in a Tech 3 Pilot Bay and gain the benefit from it if you have already trained in a Tech 2 Pilot Bay.
This training and benefit is in addition to any Training Points you spend to train new Abilities during that Downtime.
-Training during Downtime on your Union Crawler in a Tech 2 Pilot Bay grants a Pilot a one-off improvement of +2 HP and +1 AP.
-Training during Downtime on your Union Crawler in a Tech 3 Pilot Bay grants a Pilot a one-off improvement of +2 HP and +1 AP.
-Training during Downtime on your Union Crawler in a Tech 4 Pilot Bay grants a Pilot a one-off improvement of +2 HP and +1 AP.
-Training during Downtime on your Union Crawler in a Tech 5 Pilot Bay grants a Pilot a one-off improvement of +2 HP and +1 AP.
-Training during Downtime on your Union Crawler in a Tech 6 Pilot Bay grants a Pilot a one-off improvement of +2 HP and +1 AP.

Salvage Union Workshop ManualPage 223
Crafting Bay
A Crafting Bay allows you to craft any Mech Chassis, System, or Module of the Tech Level of your Union Crawler or lower. For example, if you have a Tech 2 Union Crawler you may craft Tech 1 and 2 Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules within its Crafting Bay.
To craft a Mech Chassis, System, or Module you must spend an amount of Scrap equal to its Salvage Value. This Scrap must be of a Tech Level equal to or higher than the Tech Level of the Mech Chassis, System, or Module. For example, to craft a Tech 2 Blue Mining Laser System which has a Salvage Value of 5 you would need 5 Tech 2 Scrap. All Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules in the Salvage Union Core Book are assumed available to Pilots who wish to craft them.
Other Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules may exist in the wasteland to be crafted. The Mediator may choose to allow additional things to be crafted of their own or the players' design, or decide that the Pilots must find these things in the wastelands to have them available to craft. The Mediator may also restrict access to anything as they see fit.
If the Crafting Bay becomes damaged, you can no longer craft anything.

Command Bay
This area of your Union Crawler is where the core of the crew that controls your Union Crawler resides. It is also designed for surveying and planning out forays into the wasteland. It allows you to scan the area within the Campaign Map and get a simple holomap of the environment and any key points of interest.
Once per Downtime, before you set out into the wasteland, you may ask the Mediator a number of questions equal to the Tech Level of your Union Crawler about the area of the Region Map you are in, and they will answer you truthfully.
If the Command Bay is damaged your Union Crawler can no longer move, and its scanning and map functions no longer work. You are in the dark when it comes to conducting missions outside of the immediate area.

Cantina
Your Cantina is the social hub of your Union Crawler. It is where everybody on board comes to eat, drink, and socialise. Rumours fly easily around the cantina and it is a great place to pick up information about the wastelands. It is also where the majority of food and drink on the Union Crawler is produced and stored and is the location of all your food and water purifiers.
Once during Downtime each Pilot may ask around your Cantina for rumours. The Mediator will tell you a rumour that is circulating around the Cantina. Alternatively, you may ask one question and will get a somewhat vague answer about it from the Cantina.
If the Cantina becomes damaged, you no longer have food and water purifiers and your food and water supply is spoiled. The people on your Union Crawler will die of starvation and dehydration within four weeks if it is not repaired. In addition, you can no longer ask around for rumours.

Crawler Bay
Salvage Union Workshop ManualPage 225
Trading Bay
If the Trading Bay becomes damaged, you can no longer trade Scrap or roll on the Trading Bay Table during Downtime.
Trading Scrap
Each piece of Scrap is worth an amount equal to its Tech Level. For example, Tech 1 Scrap is worth 1, Tech 3 Scrap is worth 3, Tech 5 Scrap is worth 5. You may trade this Scrap at the Trading Bay at an equal rate based on its value.
For example, if you have 4 pieces of Tech 1 Scrap you can trade it for one piece of Tech 4 Scrap or two pieces of Tech 2 Scrap.
There are 6 Tech Levels of Scrap that can be traded for and the Trading Bay has access to all of them. These amounts are fixed and cannot be further bartered for.
Sourcing Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules
Many wastelanders will come to your Crawler in order to trade their wares, which your Union Traders is happy to purchase or swap for. Once per Downtime, the Mediator rolls on the Trading Bay Table and lets the group know what is available for trade.
An Intact Mech Chassis, System, or Module costs an amount of Scrap equal to its Salvage Value of its Tech Level. For example, a 30mm Autocannon costs 3 Tech 2 Scrap. It is assumed your traders have worked to find the best deal possible, and this amount cannot be further bartered.
Trading Bay Table
Roll on this table to determine what is available for trade during Downtime. The specific Chassis, Systems, or Modules available are determined randomly or by the Mediator. All Chassis, Systems, and Modules available for trade are always one level higher than your Union Crawler.
For example a Tech 2 Union Crawler would be able to source Tech 3 Chassis, Systems, and Modules for trade.
ROLL THE DIE:
| Roll | Result |
|---|---|
20 | An Intact Mech Chassis is available for trade. |
11-19 | An Intact System and an Intact Module are available for trade. |
6-10 | An Intact System is available for trade. |
2-5 | An Intact Module is available for trade. |

If the Trading Bay becomes damaged, you can no longer trade Scrap or roll on the Trading Bay Table during Downtime.
Crawler Bay
Salvage Union Workshop ManualPage 222
Mech Bay
Within this area, each Pilot on the Union Crawler gets access to their own Mech Bay, which allows them to have one field ready Mech active. This active Mech may be of any Tech Level. Other Mechs can be stored in the Storage bay. Any Mech installed into a Mech Bay fully restores all of its Structure Points and Energy Points over the Downtime period of one week, and reduces its Heat to 0.
The Tech Level of the Union Crawler determines what Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules it can repair during Downtime.
A damaged Mech Chassis as well as any damaged Systems or Modules are repaired to Intact Condition during Downtime as long as they are of an equal to or lower Tech Level than the Union Crawler. For example, a damaged Tech 2 Blue Laser System could be repaired in a Tech 2 or 3 Union Crawler, but could not be repaired in a Tech 1 Union Crawler.
You may choose to repair anything that cannot be repaired in this way by spending an amount of Scrap equal to half its Salvage Value of it's Tech Level or higher. For example, if your Crawler is Tech 3 and you are repairing a Damaged Colossus Chassis which is a Tech 4 Chassis with a Salvage Value of 16, you must spend 8× Tech 4 Scrap to repair it to an Intact Condition.
You may further use your Mech Bay to install or remove any number of Systems or Modules on your Mech that you have access to.
If the Mech Bay becomes damaged, your Mechs can no longer restore SP and EP during Downtime. Their Chassis as well as any Systems or Modules will not be repaired if they are damaged, and you will have to make any System or Module modifications manually.
