2. Choose a shipyard, building the shuriken class.
the advanced sipyard of the federation is "fyard2.odf". You can find it here:
"...\Activision\Star Trek Armada II\odf\stations"

-Open fyard2.odf with your Windows Texteditor (Notepad) or another Programm like this.
Look for the text:

buildItem3 = "fspecial"
buildItem4 = "fbattle"

-Write under the text: buildItem5 = "shurikencls1". Then it looks like this:

buildItem3 = "fspecial"
buildItem4 = "fbattle"
buildItem5 = "shurikencls1"

-Attention: If you have already an entry with buildItem5,
you have to change the number to buildItem6 and so on.

-Save the file and close it.

Shuriken______________________________________________________________________________________________________
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Hira Shuriken
Shuriken (lit: "hand release blade") are throwing blades.
The martial art of wielding the shuriken is called shuriken-jutsu.
Tracing back through history to determine the origins of this unique throwing weapon is difficult, if not impossible.
In theory, it can be seen how the four-pointed Senban shuriken, characteristic of the Togakure Ryu of ninjutsu,
was perhaps developed from the four-cornered,
iron reinforcing plates (washers) that backed up the heads of the nails used in the joining of timbers in castle and fortress construction.
Such washers are also seen in the construction of the large taiko drums still played today.

The major varieties are the bo shuriken and the hira shuriken, throwing blades with multiple points,
sometimes called senban (also read as shaken) but more commonly known in the West as throwing stars or ninja stars,
due to their distinctive shape. These "throwing stars" usually had only four points, but they were known to have up to eight.

Uses
Contrary to popular belief, (video games, Hollywood, etc.) shuriken are not designed as a primary weapon,
but rather as a distraction or tactical weapon.
The first bo shuriken were large nails used in the wooden construction of temples and houses.
However, the more commonly seen four sided shuriken was a tool used by carpenters to dig out those nails.
Usually ninja could not afford to buy an expensive weapon from a weaponsmith.
As a result, they improvised by using everyday objects for weapons.

Contrary to popular culture, It was not necessary to "stick" it into the target.
When throwing it they would spin the weapon very fast, so that it would then hit opponents' arms or legs,
creating a "saw" effect. Shuriken could be used on the battlefield as a distraction;
a hidden ambush group might throw a volley as a diversion or delaying tactic.
Shuriken were at times contained with tipped poison. Corrosion is also a relentless factor in humid Japan,
and the rust may be an effective poison if introduced into the bloodstream."
