Ends and Means: Rowl Bozik’s entry terminates abruptly.
How is damage handled for a non-lethal stun attack? Is it tracked via Stress?
Yes. In game terms, there’s no such thing as a stun attack (Stun isn’t a game term), but a phaser set to stun is a non-lethal attack.
All (personal, as opposed to starship) attacks inflict damage, marking off Stress from the target. If 5+ damage is inflicted (after resistance) and/or a target’s Stress track is reduced to 0, the target is Injured, and unable to take further actions in the scene.
If the attack is non-lethal, then an injured character is just unconscious, and they recover from the injury at the end of the scene.
If the attack is lethal, then an injured character is dying, and will die at the end of the scene unless they get medical attention first.

Thanks for the quick response and the clarification.
I have the Core Rulebook Collector’s Edition. On pg. 226, it says attacking with an energy weapon is Difficulty 2, but on pg. 231 it says it is Difficulty 1. I think the former is the mistake, since other parts seem to be worded as though the Difficulty for energy versus torpedoes should be different.
Also, this isn’t really an errata, but if you guys do make a “second edition” or something, I would highly recommend only stating information once and then referring to that spot by page number everywhere else that it is needed. The worst case of this is the whole section on “Gamemastering”, which has very little additional information that isn’t just copied (incompletely or even with some inconsistencies) from other sections of the rulebook.

Errata in Captain’s Log pdf - pg39 has the second part of the Docked/External Support Mode section. In the final paragraph of this section (third line from the end) the word ‘ensured’ is spelled ‘ensurde’. This is in the sentence starting ‘Before the advent of replicators…’
Pg63 - the ‘Lost in Time’ section begins with “Perhaps you crew’ instead of “Perhaps your crew”

Page 78 - For the section titled ‘Reason’, the last three examples are a repetition from the ‘Fitness’ section and therefore do not link to Reason
Page 136 - The example of how to write a log entry says “He then notes which values
he used, noting that he used his first vValue…”

A few more mistakes in the Captain’s Log pdf:
• p. 104 - Under Settings/Homeworld/Attribute: Reads “Choose one of three attributes the character’s environment improved; increase one of these by 1.” The word “environment” should be “species.”
• p. 107 - at the very top: Step Two Example: The next step for Nathan’s character is Environment. Nathan again rolls for this…" The problem here is that there is no Step One Example. Nathan is introduced here, but it’s clear that there should have been a preceding example.

Further errata for Captain’s Log:
• p. 107: First paragraph under “Upbringings”: The one-sentence paragraph uses mixed tenses, both past and present. For example, “whether they accept this influence or rebelled against it.” It seems that the intent was to lean toward the present. Therefore, it would be preferable to read: “as they grow up” and “whether they accept this influence or rebel against it.”
