We hope that this material will en with a new career choice outside those described in the core your game, and in reading it you ma y get a sense of our lov rulebook. the game and the Star Trek universe. Doubtless, part of our attract ion to the game is due in no small part to the sett ing’s characters: larger-t han- life men and Colonel Patrick M. Murphy women whose actions are similarly epic. The Personnel secStarf leet Intelligence tion describes some of the heroes and rogues whi ch populat e the Star Trek universe.

The Merchant Marine

Merchant Marines are the professional crews and captains man independent trading vessels and major starliners of Federation and beyond. Merchant Marines have a very dif ent education t han d o Starfleet officers.

Some crews are l spacehounds, and some engineers barely maintain a r barge. Yet some Merchant Mari ne crews are tough a s nail s

The designers consciously decided to prevent players from “ buying” their way to the rank of Captai n instead of earning their advancem ent through role-pla ying. Although I adm ire this position, years of experience in running Star Trek role playing games has taught me a valuable lesson: never ever make the Commanding Officer a Non-Player Character (NPC). In any game I have run the players assumed the key comm anding p ositions aboard a Starfleet vessel. Although it

Note: This step is optional i f the character intends to be a Comm anding Officer of a smaller vessel, such as an Oberth - cl ass ship. A rank of Comm ander is suffic ient to comm and a vessel of such size. 8) Calculate character’s initial Courage and Renown as per the rules but a lso include bonuses for any Comm endation Advantages purchased during the creation process (see p. 181 for Renown values for Commendations and Medals). 9) Tally age (see note below). The character is complete. A character ma y ma ke as many “ Addit ional Tours” as necessary to achieve the requirem ents above, however please note that the length of each tour is 2- 7 (1d6+ 1) years. Excessive tours could make a character quite old. As a general rule of thumb, page 182 of the Core Game Book provides suggested key skill l evels for vari ous positions, including Captains. In this author’s opinion those values are exceedingly high and sh ould only be used as a meter of wh at skills are valuable to a Captain. Unless a character original ly chose the “ Comm and” Overlay, it is suggested that characters from other Branches that transfer into Command not be given key assignments until their rating s in the Prima ry Skills for the “ Comm and” Overlay are of equal value. Using the above system, the absolute minimum number of tours inn which a character could attain the rank of Comma nder (and comm and of their own, albeit smal l, starship) is five. This assumes the character takes the ‘fast track’ and selects their Cadet Cruise, advancesthetoPromotion the rank ofAdvantage Lieutenantduring Commander during their first t our of duty, fill s out their required skills during t he next three tours, and selects the Commander Advantage on their fifth tour. Such a character would be the exception, and not the rule, and certainly would not be able to comm and a ‘ship of-the-line’ such as a Galaxy - class starship.

Incorporating Kzinti Into the St Trek: The Next Generation Role Pla ing Game

One of the major sticking points of “canonicity” for Trek fan s is the presence of th e Kzinti in t he anim ated epis “ The Slaver Weapon” by Larry Niven. Niven wrote thi s epis of the series based on one of his Known Space short stor and th us the Kzinti became part of t he Star Trek un iverse did they? When Gene Roddenberry began Star Trek: The Next G eration , it was decided to disavow the animat ed Star Trek ries, based partially on the fa ct th at t he production values w not up to Gene’s stan dards. Sometim e in t he eighties, N licensed the Known Space setting and characters to a c puter ga me com pany. He then licensed Chaosium to produ Ringworld role playing game, which they did, until the c puter gam e comp any threatened to sue, and th us the Ringw role playing gam e vanished and became a highly sought a collectib le. This is specula tion, but sim ilar legal concerns co have been the reason wh y the Kzint i are not consi dered pa the Star Trek universe today...Paramount’s legal departm has alw ays been rat her cautious in some respects. In an y ev except f or certain key elem ents of th e episode “ Yesteryear

This is al l well and good, but of course Narrators runn their own campaigns are not bound by such issues. Howe the Star Trek: The Next Generat ion role playing game does the tim eline and continu ity provided in the Chronology . Attem ing t o fit t he Kzinti i nto this f ram ework does create some p lems. The Kzinti are stated to have had four wars w ith hu m ity, losing each one, until they finally were made a Federa “ Protectorate.” The anim ated series has been assum ed to

Now one could fit the Enterprise crew’s encounter with the Kzinti somewhere in that tim e period, except that the look and f eel of the Enterprise , and the crew m embers involved, clearly indicat e a later tim e frame tha n the original series. The five- year m ission ended i n 2269 . Thus, if t hey hap pened at all, the events of the animated series probably occurred in 2269 , after t he events of t he episode “ Turnabout Intruder” and before the Enterprise returned to Earth at t he end of the mission. So when did the Star Trek version of the Man-Kzin Wars occur? Well, it w as m ost likely within a period between 226 1, when the UFP was founded, and 2 264.

This allows Uhura to finish her tour of dut y and t hen transfer to the Enterprise when a position opened there around late 2265. Where is the Kzinti Patri archy located? Given the fac t t hat the Federation was smaller in those days, the Patriarchy is probably not far from the core worlds of t he Federation; I fa vor a locati on somewhere near the area where the Klingons were first encount ered, ma inly because I remember t he Kzinti- Klingon batt les from the Star Fleet Batt les gam e. I would say they would likely be in a fairly close grouping of stars, as t here are twelve worlds in the Kzinti Patriar chy, and their warp drive technology was probably never that great; a star

Dean Foster, it was stated that Uhura had f ought t he Kzinti in battle; this was most likely in the fourth and final of these conflicts. Before the founding of t h e U FP , h u m a n s were busy with the Romula n War. What I then propose is that the Kzinti ‘Wars’ (which are likely considered ‘wars’ mainly by the Kzinti) were fought between 2161 and 2264; during t he first wave of expansion aft er the establishm ent of the Federation. Federation ship s ran int o the Kzinti in a star cluster near t he area of colonization. Kzinti likely raided shipping, attacked colonies and so forth in four major “waves”, defeated easily each ti me by Starfleet, owing to bett er tech-

cluster m akes sense. It was also fairly close to Sirius, since tha t is where the treaty that set up the Protectorate was written and signed. Wherever they are located, it is highly doubtful that they pose much of a threat by the time of the Sta r Trek: The Next Generation series, but Narrators have several options when deciding just h ow the Kzint i will fi t int o their gam e. One option is to assu me t hat by 2370, t hey are Federation m embers and thus serve in Starfl eet (m aking g reat Security personnel), and the Kzinti Protectorate is a thing of the past. They likely get al ong well wi th t he Ferengi, owing t o simi lar att itudes about f emales, although if I w ere a Ferengi Mer-

RULES flict s, or during the war wit h the Domi nion. As another option, Narrators may consider ma intaini ng t he Kzinti’s adversarial relationship w ith the United Federation of Planets. This seems in keeping with their violent and i ntolerant n atur es, and all ows the Narrator another stock character to draw u pon when a b ad guy is needed. Still brooding over the defeats of so long ago, in this scenario the Kzinti bide their tim e, looking for a chance to strike back at t heir ancient foes. The Narrator must decide how big a threat th e Kzinti are and what sort of tactics they use. It is possible that, like the pirates of Orion, that Kzinti privateers continue to harass local shipping, and remain involved in illegal activities near the Patria rchy. Though t he Patriarchy itself rem ains a mi nor power under the watchful eye of the Federation, their ships hopelessly outclassed by those of Starfleet, the Kzinti are no less dangerous when confronted on their home tur f, or in circumsta nces of th eir own choosing. By necessit y, they have become masters of stealth; just as their ancestors learned to quietly app roach th eir prey, now the Kzin have gained m ast ery of subterfuge and surreptitious action. Alternately, the Narrator m ay decide that the Kzinti have done such a fin e job of plotting and thieving, that they now are an even bigger th reat to the Federation. With Star fleet focus ed on the Borg and Dominion, perhaps the Kzinti have stolen enough technology and/or forged enough alliances to actu ally be an up- and- coming politi cal power. Starf leet m ay realize with a start that thi s old enemy within t he Federation’s own b orders is agai n f lexing its muscles, seeking revenge... Some of this a rticle was b ased on the arti cle “ The Kzinti Have Landed” by Jon Slobin s from t he Decemb er 1985 iss ue of Dragon mag azine.

LUGTREK NETBOOK Starships Part of our fascination wit h the Star Trek universe comes from the wonderful starships th at wand er from world to world, ply the trade routes between solar systems, and do battle amidst arcs of scintillating destruction. Naturally, players of Star Trek: The Next Generation will be equally fascinated by quantifying ships other than those included in the rulebook, creating compl etely new designs or drawing up deck plans for vessels of the imagi nation.

Akira class vessels served prominently in the Typhon Fleet, which together with several reinforcement squadrons, fought a running bat tle with the Borg vessel from the Typhon sector to Earth . Many of these ships were destroyed during this batt le. A notable participant was the U.S.S. Thunderchild (NCC-63549), which participated in the final assault which destroyed the Borg cube.

The Intrepid - class introduced many unique features, including being the first ship of its size to be capable of planetary landi ng and fligh t. This class also introduced bio-electric gel-packs, a new way of transmitt ing comp uter data quickly and efficiently, which lowers the ship’s computer power requirement. Although not designed for heated combat the In - trepid - class is designed to take a considerable beating and still be able to flee the scene for help.

Fleet dat a: Designed as a smaller and faster ship than the Starfl eet cruisers of the t im e, the Steamrunner - class was intended to be produced in large numbers to supplement Starfleet’s larger ships. The Steamrunner - class introduced several chan ges to Starfleet forces. The class was t he first to be built usi ng the new isolinear compu ter system, rather than the prior duotronic system. The ship’s form was a change from the usual Starfl eet ap pearance as well: the warp na celles were integrated int o the saucer section, and th e overall form is m ore angul ar tha n previous designs. While the new shape allowed a sturdier craft at a lower mass, it was later determined that cracking of the superstructure could result after sustained high warp speeds. A series of refits are a vailabl e to the Steamrunner - class, in order to compensate for th e high warp sp eed weakness of the struct ure. In add ition, the Steamrunn er may have several shuttlecraft facilities converted permanently to increase the num ber of photon torpedoes carried.

While the most frequently talked about — and best, as any will admit — pos tings are on m od ern ships of the line, they are hardly the only starship postings. As in traditional naval fleets, Starfl eet keeps ma ny older — sometim es almost totally obsolete — starships in d ry-dock, mothb alled, or serving only odd service runs. One unfam iliar wi th pract ice might b e surprised at t he num ber of older ships are still i n service. While t he ma jority of sh ips d estroyed at Wolf 35 9 were more current designs, this event prompted Starfleet to bring even more of the mothball fleet out of retirement.

These vessels were initially only witnessed traveling sublight speeds, leading Starfleet Intelligence to deduce they had no warp drive. This seemed improbable given im mense power requirements of a cloaking device. Later counters with th ese ships demonstrated tha t t hey were ind warp- capab le. However, it is un known whether th ese later sh were upgraded versions or whether the previously-encounte ships had simply been forced to maintain impulse spe perhaps because of some f uel or power requirement.
