This document is the Order of Battle for the Union, known in shorthand as an ORBAT.

Once you have agreed the points limit

for your Encounter, each player must consult the ORBAT for their chosen Faction. This ORBAT allows a player to create a
Force for the Union in games of Dystopian Wars. We have also made Unit cards available too, for quick reference in games.
Important: For the avoidance of doubt, the rules presented in the latest version of the ORBAT always take precedence over
any Unit or Battlefleet rules presented elsewhere.

Each Union Force must include one or more Battlefleets. A Battlefleet is a group of Units that are always led by a Flagship.
There are a number of Battlefleets available to the Union each with an array of units to choose from and some even with
additional rules or benefits.

Some Units in the Union have special rules that are different to those found in the rulebook. Units that have one or
more of these rules will have them detailed in their Unit profiles in this ORBAT. The rules unique to the Union are
listed here:

AKRON OBSERVER: This Unit is accompanied by an Akron Observation Rotor. The Akron is an Escort as
described on Page 32 of the Rulebook with the following exceptions: The Akron is armed with a Rocket Pod and
may Lead or Support with this weapon in one attack each Activation made by its Parent Unit. The Akron is not an
Aerial Unit but the Model has the Aerial Trait and cannot be collided with. It cannot be targeted unless it is in Point
Blank Range or the weapon has the Aerial Quality. The Akron gives +1 to the Defence Attributes of every Model in
the Unit. The Akron gives the Extreme Range Quality to any Aerial Weapons in the Unit. An Akron counts as being
equipped with any Generators present in the Unit.

CONTRA ROTATION: This is a Special Operations Action that may be made by any Model in the Unit with the
Paddlewheel Trait unless it has a Navigation Lock Critical Damage Marker. The Model making a Contra Rotation
Action has a Drift of zero and reduces its Speed Attribute by its Mass for the Activation. At any point during its
Movement Step the Model may make a single turn on the spot of up to 90 degrees. It may Move and Turn normally
in addition to this Action.

GIVE EM HELL: The big guns of the Union are famed for their devastating barrages. A Unit may make a Special
Operations Action that it will ‘Give Em Hell’. All weapons with the Gunnery or Fusillade special rule in the Unit
gain the Devastating Quality for the duration of its Activation. At the end of the Activation each Model in the Unit
gains a Disorder Condition.
A Battlefleet may only ever include one Unit with the Flagship trait unless the Battlefleet composition specifically states
otherwise. Battlefleets in the Union have the following special rule:

COMMAND RE-ROLL: If a Battlefleet has this rule, the Player gains a Command Re-roll. Each Command Re-roll may be
used once per game. It allows all the dice in the Player’s Action Dice Pool (regardless of results) to be re-rolled. You may not
re-roll part of the Action Dice Pool or another Player’s Action Dice Pool using this rule, it must be all the dice and only in
your own Dice Pool.

SEMPER FORTIS: Union commanders are trained to take advantage of evolving situations. After playing a Valour effect,
roll an Action Die. On an Exploding Hit, do not discard the card and instead return it to your hand.

This is the most flexible and commonly deployed Battlefleet found in the Union. The ability to mix surface, submersible and aerial units
makes this an essential component of any Commodore’s Force.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the UNION Trait.
• You MAY include up to a further Four Units with the UNION Trait.
• You may not include more than Two of any Unit.

• Command Re-Roll

• Semper Fortis

From the closing days of the Ore War until the present time, the
Constitution Battlefleets have been at the forefront of the Union’s
struggle for their manifest destiny.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the

CONSTITUTION CLASS Trait.
• You MUST include a Yorktown Unit.
• You MAY include up to a further Three Units with the
UNION Trait.
• You may not include more than two of any Unit except
Yorktown or Farragut classes.

• Command Re-Roll
• Semper Fortis

• Provided the Battlefleet includes a maximum sized

Yorktown Unit, Yorktown Units do not gain Disorder from
Give Em Hell.
Many Union Units may take Generators, either as Internal which are already incorporated into the superstructure of a Model or
else, they are installed in place of a Heavy Gun Battery as an upgrade indicated in their relevant entry in this ORBAT. Each Model
in a Unit that has access to Generators may take a different Generator or may not take one at all. Rather than those outlined on Pg
35 of the Rules, each Union Generator confers the benefits as described below and normally remains active for the remainder of the
game unless the Model suffers a Generator Shutdown Critical Damage Marker. Generator abilities are conferred only to the Model
it is mounted on.

Thanks to the Watcher artefacts found in the Bimini Crater, the mysteries of splitting the Atom have
begun to be understood. The Model adds +2 to its Speed Attribute. The Model suffers an additional Point of Damage whenever it
receives a Reactor Leak Critical Damage Marker.

The Fury pattern RJ- 1027 Generator provides a huge boost to a vessel’s power system as well as other,
more intangible benefits. This Generator gives the Model +1 to its Speed Attribute and +3 to its Fray Attribute.

A powerful electromagnet is housed within this generator and can be used to disrupt small arms
fire close to the vessel as well as focussed to affect larger aircraft. Once per Activation this Model may target an enemy Aerial Model
within 10”. That Model receives a level of Disorder. Furthermore, any Hits or Heavy Hits by Enemy SRS Tokens against this
model must be re-rolled. Exploding Hits are unaffected. This Generator has no effect on SRS (Special) Tokens.

A Model with this Generator removes 2 Action Dice from the Dice Pool of each Attack against each
Model. The Shield Generator cannot be used against attacks with the Submerged, Arc or Bomb Qualities.

: These are a variety of technological marvels emitting billowing clouds, shimmering scatter fields or
even belching fourth noxious blackness to hide the Model from sight. A Model with this Generator is Obscured and can be ignored
as the Initial Target by the Attacker.
These are the weapon used by the faction. All values highlighted in green are used when the model is Battle Ready. Values shown in red are
used if the model is crippled.

The following is the official ‘Counts As’ guide for players to make use of older and out of production Classic Dystopian Wars
miniatures in games. These are official guidelines and so may be used for official tournaments, organised play and any other
sanctioned events.

The models MUST be taken as indicated here. Any Unit upgrades listed must be taken and no other options are available to the
Unit from the ORBAT. For example, a miniature for a Classic Princeton miniature may be included in your Force to represent a
Yorktown Cruiser with a Heavy Rocket Battery. However, it may not take any weapon upgrades or additional Generators. That
way, an opponent that encounters this Classic Model in games will know exactly what it represents without further explanation or
note keeping.

Important: As the range of units for the Faction expands with new releases, this list will adapt to include other Classic Miniatures
that are now able to Counts as one of these Units in the game. So, if there is a classic miniature in your collection that is not listed
below, do not worry, it will be added as the range expands and it gains something it can ‘count as’.
