- These tables are intended to be interpreted creatively. X/Y could mean "X and Y" or "X or Y" at your discretion. Some details are left out entirely due to the complexity which would be involved in generating them or the extent to which they might conflict with other details. They are left to the creativity of the interpreter. A few examples are presented after the tables.

- Scope
- ----------
- How tightly focused the server is on the mission type or target. Focusing on one typically precludes focusing on the other, to the extent that if the server is highly focused on one the other is likely a vague suggestion. There are of course exceptions to this rule, particularly in the fields of research and contingency planning.

- Territory Size
- ----------

- Examples
- **********
- Rolls are presented in order with one roll on each of feature tables in the details section.
- 1) 98,78,16,8,38,1,76,45,86,73,55,91
- Mission: Research/development
- Target: Exsurgents
- Scope: Highly mission-focused
- Territory Size: 300,000-1,500,000
- Server Size: 2d10+5=14
- Human Resources: Very poor
- Material Resources: Rich
- Pragmatist-Conservative Axis: Moderate
- Maverick-Structuralist Axis: Very structuralist
- Backup: Neutral
- Operational Feature: WMD access
- Political Feature: Morally black
- A dedicated Crow server. Given the focus on exsurgents, territory size, and strong structuralist tendencies, it's quite reasonable to set this server operating near the TQZ. Being poor in human resources, we might say it has no sentinels at all, no real contacts outside of Firewall, and relies entirely on other servers to bring in research material. Rich in material resources, they likely have quite a well equipped lab. The scope says the server is highly focused on the research/development mission (hence the dedicated crow server), but as a research server it makes sense for it to have a greater target specialization than is indicated. Still, exsurgency probably isn't the only thing they study. Non-exsurgent TITAN artifacts would be likely. WMD access might be represented by having the lab rigged to blow in the event of containment failure. Morally black might be represented by studying exsurgent infection in live, intentionally infected forknapped subjects.
- 2) 43,60,41,69,81,55,15,34,56,58,67,30
- Mission: Deep cover
- Target: Pandora gates/extrasolar affairs
- Scope: Generalized
- Territory Size: 8,000,000-40,000,000
- Server Size: 3d10+10=26
- Human Resources: Average
- Material Resources: Poor
- Pragmatist-Conservative Axis: Pragmatic
- Maverick-Structuralist Axis: Moderate
- Backup: Neutral
- Operational Feature: Extensive blueprint library
- Political Feature: Close ties to another agency
- Mostly does alot of Deep Cover operation within Gatekeeper and associated microcorps, as well as planting sentinels in gatecrashing teams to keep eyes on things. A few of the proxies are members of CID. Keeps very few material resources but has access to a large blueprint library that can help sentinels and proxies make what they need.
- 3) 28,99,39,61,82,66,4,46,60,59,16,98
- Mission: Cyber ops
- Target: Internal affairs
- Scope: Mission-focused
- Territory Size: 8,000,000-40,000,000
- Server Size: 3d10+10=19
- Human Resources: Well equipped
- Material Resources: Very poor
- Pragmatist-Conservative Axis: Moderate
- Maverick-Structuralist Axis: Moderate
- Backup: Neutral
- Operational Feature: Ties to organized crime
- Political Feature: Promethean puppeteer
- This one is interesting. To reconcile cyber ops with the organized crime ties, well equipped human resources and very poor material resources, we might say that it mostly uses shady contacts to monitor darkcasting. The internal affairs target is a weak focus, so perhaps the server is frequently used to monitor suspicious activity by other servers. And maybe the Promethean pulling the strings behind the scenes provides additional help with cyber ops from time to time.
