Torque

A torque weapon fires ammunition that spins at an incredible rate and imparts angular momentum. In addition to dealing damage, a hit with a torque weapon rotates the target in space. The gunner can turn the target ship by 1 facing (resolved at the beginning of the helm phase). The pilot of the target starship can attempt a Piloting check (DC = 15 + 1-1/2 the tier of the firing ship) to prevent this rotation. The torque weapon special property affects only targets that are large or smaller.
