where no man has gone before2

To boldly go...To boldly go...

This sourcebook lets you take part onthe bold voyages of the starshipEnterprise. Enterprise is the firsthuman ship able to break throughthe magic barrier of a Warp 5velocity and so the unbelievablevastness of space comes in to reachof mankind.

Enterprise is about humanitysadventure of exploring space. But italso is about the responsibility,which comes with technologicaladvance as well as conflict evenbetween actually friendly species likethe Vulcans and the Humans.It is about the bold steps to be takento ultimately form the UnitedFederation of Planets and describes

the long, dangerous way to it.

EarthEarth

Earth, the once to be capital of theUFP, is quite different from what itwill be in the future. With the WorldWar III not too long ago, the long-lasting effects of this war are stillsensible.Thanks to the Vul cans the moredramatic side effects of nuclear

weapons could be prevented, as theyhelped to stop genetic mutations andvicious diseases like cancer.

1.11.1 HistoryHistory

Earth had several more or lessadvanced high cultures in the past,among them the Egyptians, theRomans and Aztecs.After the fall of the Roman Empire inthe 5th century A.D., the MiddleAges or more appropriate the DarkAges began. Humanity raged in waragainst each other and severalpowerful Empire rose and fell duringthat time.In the 16th century, humanityremembered its philosophical ideasof ancient times and it began todevelop scientific interest and with itcentres of research and made newdevelopments. Although still severalwars broke out, humanity began touse reason to judge situations, ratherthan some supernatural influences oremotion.

This process caused theindustrialisation and e.g. the FrenchRevolution that influenced other


4/50


countries as well, e.g. the laterUnited States of America.But Earth had not seen its darkest

times yet.In the early

20th century,the first so-called WorldWar begancausing severalmillions deadand muchmore suffering.Although afterthat time the

first stepstowards Earth Union began, only 20years later World War II started andlasted for half a decade. Genocideand other crimes were part of thatwar, but at least caused severalconventions to set up internationallaws to prevent that in the future,including the instalment of the so-called United Nations.In the late 20th century, a newconflict arose. Humanity haddiscovered genetics and what firstwas used for medical care, was thenmisused as method to enhancehuman abilities and create a caste ofsuperhumans. These superhumansbegan to rise up against theirmasters, overthrew the governmentsand began battling themselves aswarlords.In 1996 humanity was able to get ridof these warlords and ended theEugenic Wars.In mid 21st century the third and lastWorld War broke out. It was anuclear war and killed more peoplethan the other two world warscombined.During the aftermath of this war,which had thrown Earth into newMiddle Ages - diseases, which had

been overcome since decades, werefatal again. A new hope arose.In 2063 Zefram Cochrane modified anuclear missile and built Earth firstwarp vessel, the Phoenix. Its maiden

voyage was more than historic.During that flight, first contact withthe Vulcans was made and a time ofpeace and welfare began. Earthrecovered from the war with the helpof the Vulcans and soon the longlasting effects were forgotten either.Additionally humanity exploredspace more than in the times beforeand the SS Valiant launched in 2064

as the first deep space starship.Half a century later the

first colony of Earth settled on Mars,lead by the Picard family.In 2113 the American and Europeancontinent founded the United EarthRepublic and with it the United EarthSpace Probe Agency. The lastcontinent to join was Austria, which

did so in 2150.Thanks to the union process,humanity was able to coordinate itsexploration of space and in early22nd century the so-called Warp 5complex was founded in SanFrancisco under the lead of HenryArcher.In 2151 Earth made first contact withthe Suliban and the Klingons which

caused the first human ship equippedwith a warp 5 engine to launch:

Enterprise, captained by HenryArchers son, Jonathan Archer.

1.21.2 Interspeci es Relati onsInterspecies Relations

Actually there are hardly anyrelations of Earth with other species.The most prominent species are ofcourse the Vulcans.Since first contact in 2063, Vulcanshelped humanity to overcome itsworst problems, e.g. diseases, crime,

corruption and the like. Howeverthey refused to share their technologyor scientific developments.Some humans believe that theVulcans do no right by holding backtechnology. They perceive them asarrogant and unfair.However the general attitude towardsthe Vulcans is thankful and they are

often regarded as mentors.There are also other species, e.g. theDenobulans that even have set up anexchange programme with Earth.Thanks to the efforts of Enterprise,Earth has made contact with severalother species. Among these are mostprominent the Klingons and theAndorians.

The Klingons regard Earth not muchmore than a primitive world, nomatch for the Klingon Empire.

However they warned Earth not tointerfere in Klingon actions.The Andorians view Earth moresuspiciously. Although Earth is at themoment neutral and actually

unravelled a secret Vulcan listeningpost, they may become allies of theVulcans. Actually many alreadyregard the Humans as puppets of theVulcans.

1.31.3 TechnologyTechnology

Earth is at the edge of the technologylevel 6, to describe its technologyshortly.The humans have made several newdevelopments in the past decadessince the Vulcans arrived on Earth forthe first time. Medical technologyhas rendered most illnessesundangerous and there are no longerproblems like famines or pollution.

Energy production is based on fusionengines and communication isalready accomplished at high speed,making it possible to communicatewi th Mars or other outposts in real -time, with the help of plasmamonitors.Additionally there are slower ships,especially freighters who travelbetween the few human colonies and

also Vulcan.Transportation on the planet is doneby MagLev Trains, using a magneticfield to travel at speeds of 800 kph.There are flying transports eitherconnecting the continents with eachother. But there are also lessadvanced types of transport, likeships or automobiles using solarenergy.

A few shuttles have set up regulartravels between the inner-systemcolonies.

1.61.6 InhabitantsInhabitants

Earth native species are Humans, ahumanoid species. They developedsome several millennia ago andbecame the dominant species on theplanet. There are two genders, maleand female that differ slightly visuallyand biologically.However there not all humans lookalike. The colour of skin ranges fromwhite to black and e.g. bonestructure differs, either depending onthe origin of the individual. There are

as many different hair colours ascolours of skin.

Humanity developed high arts andtechnology and eventually spaceflight technology.

1.71.7 Space TravelSpace Travel

Earth has explored space since mid20th century and even more so afterWorld War III.Earth has launched several smallervessels to explore its own solarsystem and there are some scientificoutposts in the system.There is a small outpost at Plutoholding only 20 persons andscanning different space phenomena

from there. It coordinates in-systemtraffic and sends welcome messages

to all unknown vessels reaching thesystem.There are colonies on Mars and Earthuses several satellites to monitor itssun and other planets.

StarfleetStarfleet

Starfleet is Earth military andexploration corps alike. It is themilitary counterpart of the UnitedEarth Space Probe Agency and wasfounded the same year.While UESPA is the civil branch ofspace exploration and e.g. usesprobes and other smaller vesselsStarfleet builds large ships and hasalso military duties.

2.1 UESPA2.1 UESPA

The United Earth Space ProbeAgency was founded together with

the Earth Republic. It is a civilministry and lead by the Minister ofSpace Exploration. Almost everyscience lab, performing research onspace and related subjects, is part ofUESPA or at least is supported by it.All telescopes on Earth and theprobes and satellites in orbit aremaintained by UESPA and its data isreviewed by UESPA and Starfleet

scientists alike.UESPA and Starfleet are partly thesame and partly differentorganisations.UESPA is the civil branch of Earthspace science programme whileStarfleet has also military tasks.Starfleet is if you like the astronautcorps of UESPA, although it ispossible to find civil scientists

onboard its ships but only asguests.

thus an Officer should always listento advice given by subordinates.Onboard Starfleet facilities, there areseveral Senior Officers (Commanding Officer, First Officer,

Chief of Security, Tactical Officer,Chief Medical, Chief of Science,Chief of Communications, Chief ofFlight Control ) who share the sameresponsibilities for their departments.The First Officer usually has a secondoccupation and acts as CO in casethe Captain is not present.At any time the centre of operations

has to be manned by an officer ( or ifneeded enlisted personnel ) who is incommand.Additionally to ranks, Starfleet isdivided into three branches:Command, Science and Operations.The first one is occupied by theleading personal and Navigation.Science includes Medical personnel,Communications and allcrewmembers with scientific duties.The operations personnel isresponsible for the daily shipoperations. Engineers, security detailsand e.g. computer specialists.Flag Officers belong always to theCommand Branch.

2. 3 Appearance2.3 Appearance

Starfleet has a range of uniforms fordifferent purposes. The standard duty

uniform is a dark blue overall.Depending on the branch, there arecoloured stripes at the shoulders.Command has yellow colour,Operations red and Science usesblue.The rankinsignia areat the rightshoulder,

while at theright upperarm there isa badgewith theaccordingfacilitysinsignias.Additionallyto the basic uniform, there are caps,

with the ships logo and heavy field jacket, which are more protectiveregarding the weather.But there are more specialized

uniforms,either. For usein desert

environments,Starfleet has

introduced

Tropicaluniforms. Theyare sandcoloured andhave somebasic survival

equipment in large pockets. Alongwith them, the crewmembers usesunglasses, which are closed at theside to protect the eyes from sand

and dust.Flag Officers have different uniformseither. Instead of departmental


11/50


colours, they have a dark red andwhite stripe at the shoulders andfeature rank insignia on bothshoulders. Under the black uniform

jacket, an Admiral wears a white

shirt and a tie.The rank insignia is quite basic simple silver and black squares. TheEnsign has one square, a Lieutenant

j.g. has a silver and a black one,while the Lieutenant has two silversquares. This system is followed upto Commander, while the Captainhas four silver squares.Admirals have their rank insignias in

pairs at each shoulder. It starts withthe Commodore with one square ateach shoulder and ends with theFleet Admiral having five squares.

2.4 Recent Missions2.4 Recent Missions

While the Enterprise project iscertainly the most importantmissions, it is certainly not the onlyone.Most important in the past was theWarp 5 complex under theleadership of Henry Archer. It wassupported by UESPA and performedresearch on a new kind of engine,which should make it possible to

launch a deep space mission withreasonable effort. It took severaldecades until this goal was reachedbut finally Enterprise wascommissioned in 2151 the firstHuman vessel capable of travelling atwarp 5.During the development of the newengine, Starfleet set up severaloutposts in the Sol -System, which are

used as secure harbours by Starfleet

Vessels. There are four smallstarbases in the system.Jupiter Station is set at half way intothe system and is used to pick upcargo by freighters and as transition

point for outbound and incomingvessels. Pluto has another facility inorbit, basically a monitoring basewhich guards the system and scansfor incoming ships. Additionallyemergency repairs can made at thisbase.The third outpost is at Mars. Thereyou can find a real military outpost,a large weapons mount station which

is the first defence perimeter forEarth.Last but not least comes Earth StationMcKinley, which is used tocoordinate traffic to and from Earthand serves as shipyard to constructnew vessels.Starfleets general tasks includepatrolling the Sol -System anddefending it. But also support ofcolonization efforts is part of its joband of course exploration.

DenobulansDenobulans

Denobulans are anadvanced species ofscientists, who haveperformed severaldeep space missionsin the last decade.They are curious andintelligent.Denobulan males aremore rare than females and thusmarriages include more females thanmales.

3.2 Overlays3.2 Overlays

Humanitys Starfleet has several postsand different kinds of training, as itsfuture counterpart. Each Overlay

represents one kind of basic traininga character had at the Academy.

The Overlay describes special skills,which are necessary as well asgeneral skills all Starfleet Officersshare.

The same Overlays can be used forVulcan characters, simply changeHuman specific skills orspecializations into Vulcan ( e.g.Language ).

CommandCommandCommand personnel is trained to lead subordinates, administrate Starfleet facilitiesand appease critical situations with the help of their training. They know starshiptactics and also basic scientific or engineering skills. To become CO or XO of afacility a character needs the Promotionand Department Head advantage.

16/50


On the first view, Starfleet Officers ofthis early era seem to be bettertrained than their later counterpartsof UFP Starfleet. But you have toconsider that more modern officers

need all the skills to interact withinthe UFP with alien members. Thusthey have to know about history anda basic language as well.This early officers do not need thistraining, as it already belongs to theirbasic school training. English isalready a subject as is history.This also represents the fact thatStarfleet Officers are even rarer and

pass through a harder training than inlater times, they are simply moreelite as Starfleet only needs the bestto man its few ships and facilities likewith the astronauts of the 20thcentury.

3.3 Character Development3.3 Character Development

The character creation process in theEnterprise eraof Star Trekdiffers not fromany other era.However thereare restrictions,which are notvalid later.First of all there

are not thatmany alienspecies available and even the fewalready present are rare indeed,including the Vulcans.An option for the GM would be tomake available the Centaurans, whomay take a similar role as theDenobulans. In LUG Trek books itsstated that Earth neighbours have

used their terraforming technology tohelp Earth recover from World WarIII.

Additionally to the species, not allbackground packages from any of theCore Rule Books do not match thatearly time of Star Trek. The GMshould approve the packages taken

by players, e.g. exclude HostileFrontier Defence Mission and thelike.

3.4 Trai ts3. 4 Trai ts

Due to the special nature of theEnterprise era, not all traits should

function the same way, some shouldnot be available at all.

Alien Upbringing: It is highlyunlikely that Vulcans would adopt aHuman child. The player shouldhave a real good story how thisshould work.

Department Head: This advantage

should be adopted to the era. Ofcourse ittakes 4points tobecome a

DepartmentHead on a

vesselcomparable

to Enterprise.

One pointcould be

either a sub-department, e.g. stellarcartography or on a very smallvessel, comparable to a runaboat.Two and three should be necessaryfor small outposts or vessels.Medical Remedy: The possibilitiesfor this advantage are restricted themedicine is simply not that

sophisticated at that time.Mixed Species Heritage: Highlyunlikely but possible. There could be


17/50


Vulcans who choose a Humanpartner.Promotion:see below.Species Friends: This advantageshould be rare indeed, as aliens are

rare either.Intolerant/ Species Enemy/ Vengeful:These disadvantages should be rareeither and the GM should check ifthe costs of them match thecampaign setting.Physically Impaired: The GM mightdecide that the value of certaindisabilities should be increased.

3.5 Promotion3.5 Promotion

Due to the smaller size of Starfleetand its smaller number, there arehigher standards for officers,increasing the skills needed to bepromoted to a higher rank.This is reflected by adopted costs and

new requirements:

Lieutenant ( j . g. ) :L ieutenant ( j . g. ) : 2 Skill Renown; 2(4) in primary department skill

Lieutenant:Lieutenant: 5 Skill Renown; 3 Skilllevels in primary departmental skill,2 skill levels in another

Lt. Commander:Lt. Commander: Renown, 20 of it inStarfleet Aspects; 3 (4) in the primary

Admira l :Admi ra l : 150 Renown, 125 of it inStarfleet Aspects

Fleet Admira l :Fleet Admira l : 180 Renown

Starfleet Aspects remain the same asin later eras. These increasements ofrequirements simply represents thefact that there are significantly fewerposts for e.g. Captains than inmodern Starfleet.The rank of Fleet Admiral is of courserestricted to the Chief-in-Commandof Starfleet.

StarshipsStarships

Starships are the chariots, which takehumanity or any other species intospace. They are the technology thatmake exploration of space possible.There are different kinds of starships,depending on their function, butthere are aspects all of them share.

4.1 Starship Systems4.1 Starship Systems

There are different systems on eachvessel some are restricted to onespecies and other are more general.Most starships use some kind of

artificial gravity. Without such adevice, space travel would berestricted to a few month, asotherwise the body of any creature istoo badly damaged. In a zero-genvironment, muscles and bonesbegin to degenerate because they areno longer needed like on a planet.Additionally gravity makes life mucheasier because everything stays in

place in is not flying through the air,right when you need it. It makesspace travel simply morecomfortable.Vital to any ship is some kind of lifesupport, which creates the necessaryatmosphere for the inhabitants of afacility.No facility can survive without armorand deflectors because these systems

protect it from space debris, dust andradiation that can be found in spaceand more intense within a solar


19/50


system. Without such protection,micro fractures would soon destroythe hull and the radiation wouldmake the inhabitants sick.Most ships have some kind of centre

of operations, called bridge onStarfleet vessels, where all actionsare coordinated. All departmentshave stations here and its possible toaccess any system.Engineering is another importantlocation, the ships heart, from whereit energy flows and all systems canbe maintained. Linked to it are theengines that drive the ship forward.

Any ships needs sensors of somekind to read its surrounding and tocollect data of scientific kind or e.g.combat data.Computer systems are a must on astarship. Without computers onecannot calculate the complicatedoperations needed to control astarship and to survive in space.Some ships are also equipped withweapons for defence or attackdepending on the according speciespolicy and the ships purpose. Thekind of weapon can range fromprojectiles or beam weapons.Of course some kind of quarter isneeded for the crew as well as somekind of recreation because at thattime space travel is long and thecrew needs to have something to doin its free time. So many ships havesome kind of gym, mess hall and thelike. Additionally a location to treatsick is needed, most of the timecalled sickbay.

TechnologyTechnology

There is a wide range of technologyavailable to Starfleet Officers. Whilethe technology of the mid 22ndcentury is not as advanced as in latercenturies it is still sophisticatedenough to accomplish most problemsthe crew is meant to encounter.

5.1 Personal Equipment5.1 Personal Equipment

Personal Equipment is used to do thedaily work onboard a starship andincludes more specialized equipmentfor away missions.

CommunicatorCommunicatorThe communicator is used fortransmissions between ship and awayteam or amongthe team itself.Thecommunicatoralso sends afaint signal,which makes it

possible totrack the awayteam with theships sensors.Whencombined witha tricorder itcan access the ships computer ane.g. transmit data to it.Between team members the range of

the communicator is 200km a tenthof the range during shipcommunication.

TricorderTricorderTricorders are high developed sensordevices that are used to investigatethe surroundings of the operator.

There are also some basic databanksfor data evaluation. Taken data canbe compared to those in thedatabank, which may take severalhours. No more than two

comparisons of that kind may bedone at one time, this would exceedthe tricorders computer power. Longrange scans are less accurate thanshort range scans, but aim alldirections. Short range scans onlyperceive data a few metres in front ofthe user.

Tricorders can be linked to anyother device for data exchange.

Personal weapons vary a lot fromfunction and efficiency.

Plasma WeaponsPlasma WeaponsPlasma weapons use heated plasmato fire bolts of it outof a heateningchamber. Thesebolts are highlydestructive and are

based upon atechnology onecould describe ascontrolledexplosion.Starfleet uses two types of theseweapons as pistol, the EM-33, and arifle, the EM-36.Pisto l : Pisto l : Range:Range: 4/ 15/ 40/ 65

5.3 Starship Technology5.3 Starship Technology

Computer SystemsComputer SystemsComputer Systems are vital forstarships. They calculate alloperations needed to run even the

basic systems, e.g. life support oronly databanks. Almost everywhere

on a starship on can find computerconsoles to operate different systemsand access the databanks.Routine procedures enable thecomputer to also access data sent by

tricorders or communicators.The computer reacts automatically tocertain threats, e.g. damage of theships hull or breach of securitybreaches, trigger alarms.Computer systems have one maincomputer core and several sub-cores,which may act as backup system forthe main computer.

Force Fiel dsForce Fi eldsWhile other species may havemastered this technology Starfleet hasnot yet done so, at least notcompletely. Lt. Reed, WeaponsOfficer of the Enterprisehas designeda prototype, which he used to holdback an alien creature.Once raised such a field works like asolid wall, and prevent anything frompassing through. The difficulty of thattechnology does not yet allow anysettings so that e.g. air can movethrough it.Force fields can absorb up to 45points of damage before failure.However an attack with moredamage is still reduce by thatamount. Any attack with lesserdamage, is hold back and the fieldcontinues to operate.

Food SynthesizersFood SynthesizersWhenever you go into space, youneed food to survive, unless you onlyuse unmanned probes. While moststarships have at least basic nutritionstored in its cargo holds, moreadvanced cultures use at leastadditionally synthesized food. This


30/50


synthesizers use basic proteins andmolecule structures common in allfood, to arrange them in theappropriate order for most meals onecan demand. It has databanks with

common food and with new input itcan create most kinds of food byadding flavour and colour to themeal.

SensorsSensorsAll starships use different kinds ofsensors e.g. for navigating and tocollect data about the surrounding.

Main sensors of Starfleet andcomparable vessels work not unlikethe tricorders and are directly linkedto the science station and the librarycomputer. These sensors can performmore general long-range scans andmore detailed short range scans. Therange depends on the accuracy of thesensors and varies from ship to ship.Additionally to the main sensorsthere are alsonavigational sensors,which are exclusivelyused to lead a shipthrough space safelyand detect any hazardthat may occur underway.If short-range scans areto dangerous, mostships use probes toinvestigate further.

TransportersTransportersOnly few cultures have yet masteredthe transporter technology. Starfleetcurrently uses it only for cargotransport, although living creaturesare permitted to beam how thisprocess is called. Only two people

can be transported at one time and ata range of 20000 km.Transporters dematerialise thesubjects matter into energy, sent thedata wherever it is needed and

assemble the subject again at itsdestination.A transporter consists of thefollowing components:Control Systems which enable theoperator to handle the transporters,Scanning Device which collectsthe necessary data needed forbeaming,Energizing and Transition Coils

which are responsible for thematerialisation process,Pattern Buffer which store themolecule data, at that time for amaximum of 2 minutes, andEmitter and Receiver Arrays whichsent the matter streams to the targetor receive it.

Warp SystemWarp SystemA warp drive ispowered by

matter/antimatter

annihilation,which isactually highlydestructive. A

focuseddamping field is

needed to channel the energy andtherefore dilithium crystals areneeded any other material, includingordinary lithium is to unstable.The reaction is centred in the socalled warp core, which then createsa very hot plasma, channel led to thewarp coils which then can create thewarp field necessary to accelerate tospeeds faster than light.


31/50


W eapon SystemsW eapon SystemsMost space faring species equip theirvessels with some kind of weaponeven if only used for defence. Onlyfew species have yet discovered

deflector shields, high energy forcefields that may be used to blockstarship sized weapons.Starfleet weapons include plasmacannons, phased cannons, spatialtorpedoes and grapplers.Plasma Cannons simply use theheated engine plasma from the WarpCore, channel it and thus creatingshort blasts that are afterwards

accelerated using ionisation. Theresult is a highly explosive bolt,which can cause heavy damage.Phased Cannons are simply largerversions of the Phased Pistol,Enterprise is currently equipped withthree prototypes.Spatial Torpedoes are missileweapons, which may be used evenduring warp travel. They are quiteprimitive weapons a simpledetonation head is used to causedamage at the target. The KlingonPhoton Torpedoes use antimatter tocause an explosion.While Grapplersare no real weapon,they are still operated from theweapons station of a ship. Grapplersare claw-like machines connectedto the ship via a cable. They can beused to attach to any object desired,including other starships. They aree.g. useful during rescue operationsand to salvage starship wrecks.Grapplers work like tractor beams,but have the fixed rating of four they cannot exceed a range of1000m.Instead of Deflector Shields humanvessels use the Polarized Hull, whichmay deflect attacks. To activate thissystem power points equal to half the

protection is needed, which workslike ablative armor, i.e. first subtractany damage of these hull pointsandwhen they are gone simply use thestandard rules for structural damage.

Resistance is not used for thepolarized hull.

D etoxi fy SystemsD etoxi fy SystemsWhile this function is normallyrelated to transporter systems, whichhave a bio-filter, that render allbacteria or any virus undangerous,this has to be done manual ly if not

using systems like that.Enterpriseuses a special chamber forthat, which is equipped with UV-Light beamers, killing bacteria andthe like. Additionally a jelly-cream isused to for the same purpose and to

protect theskin from

theradiation.

Without thischamber,

there wouldbe the perilthat new

unknown diseases could spreadthroughout the ship.

Beyond Our SolarBeyond Our Solar

SystemSystem

There countless possibilities for agame set in the Enterprise-Era of StarTrek. But first a Narrator shouldcreate a basic idea of the campaign,before presenting it to the players.

6.1 The Setting6.1 The Setting

When creating a prequel campaignfor the Star Trek RPG, the settingseems to be obvious. Its simply ayounger Star Trek universe, withmore primitive technology but still

there are the same villains anddangers.While this may be true, this stillkeeps up many possibilities.Enterprise shows us how the Trekuniverse was like a century beforewe visited it for the first time. Nowwe can see how the different speciesand political conditions developed.We learn more about humanitys past

as well as the history of Vulcan andAndoria.To catch this mood, the Narrator canintroduce self-created species fromcampaigns set in the future. If youhad a species being the major threatin your DS9-Campaign, why notforeshadow it in a prequeladventure? If done well, the playerswill remind this event a long time

and you have the possibility tofurther develop your favouritespecies.


33/50


Of course your prequel can have atotally different mood. Anotheroption could be to centre on e.g. theRomulan-Earth War, an eventprobably not too different from the

Dominion War.Whatever you do, a prequel givesyou the chance to let your playersparticipate in historic events, whichare important for the Star Trek settingin general and maybe for yourplayers future characters.When planning your campaign, youshould decide what kind of crewyou use. If you use Starfleet Officers,

they can be stationed on a Starbase aship, the Academy or whatever. Youshould remember that its difficult totransfer them, as Starfleets resourcesare re very limited compared to itsfuture counterparts.Alternately you could want to haveyou players use Vulcan characters.This would give them access to more

advancedtechnology.

More tension inthe crew couldbe created ifone of thecharacters is a

Humanexchange

officer, or arogue Vulcanwho does not

deny emotions, even if only insecret.Another angle could be to use acompletely different species, e.g.Tellarites, Centaurans or maybe evenBajorans, using one of their Solar-Sailing ships.But of course you characters neednot to play explorers. Another optionfor play would be to let the playersman a mercenary or merchant ship,

which has to get through space witheven less developed technology andresources.

6.2 The Story6.2 The Story

Of course the story is directly linkedwith the setting, but still you mightwant to consider about one majorplot-line in your campaign, like theTemporal Cold War in Enterprise.Depending on your setting, this plot

may vary.If your characters are merchants, themain plot could be to gain control ofone major trade route, or get themonopoly of one certain good. Theadversaries could be anotherfreighters crew, or e.g. the Ferengis,who would not only use fairmethods of trade.The characters could be involved in

the Romulan-Earth War or any otherconflict, e.g. between the Vulcansand Andorians.Another option would be that thecharacters find hints to a very potentspecies during their travelling theclimax could be that they actuallymeet this species, whether it is friendor foe.

6.3 Enterprise6.3 Enterprise

You might want your characters beinvolved with the events of Enterprisein any one way. If you do so, youshould first of all decide whether youstick to canon or not. If you want tostick to the events of the series, it is

difficult to involve the characters andworks best if they are low rankingcrewmembers, you do not appear on


34/50


the screen and so could do somework behind the scenes, e.g. dosome research and the like.This gives the characters theopportunity to interact with the crew

of the show, however it is alsorestricting.If you decide to do something onyour own, only loosely based onEnterprise, you can easily exchangeparts of the crew with yourcharacters, if not the whole or youcan have the characters take part inprominent events. But this wouldmake it difficult for your campaign to

follow the series, because someevents are strictly connected tocertain characters or events, whichmay not be present in yourcampaign.Connecting the story of yourcampaign to one set in the future ofthe Star Trek universe, is especiallyrewarding. Your characters might beancestors of future ones or couldmake certain events of the futurepossible, e.g. by inventing newtechnology or discovering certainphenomena. This would give theplayers the feeling to be an essentialpart of something very large.

The Enterprise is humanitys firstvessel capable of Warp 5 speed. Itwas launched almost exactly 88years after Zefram Cochranes launchwith the Phoenix.

Enterprise is more than 200 metreslong and carries a crew of 82

persons, two of them aliens.

7.1 H istory7.1 Hi story

son of the famousHenry Archer, thedeveloper of theWarp 5 engine.The launch of theship was anemergencymission. Due tounknown reasons,a Klingon warrior

crash-landed onEarth at BrokenBow, a small village on the North

American continent. This badlywounded Klingon had to betransported back to his homeworld Enterprise first mission.However when Enterprise was under

way, it was attacked by unknownaliens, later to be exposed to begenetically enhanced Suliban. TheSuliban took Klaang, the Klingon,captive and left the ship.Clues that pointed to Rigel X, ledCaptain Archer investigate and finallyEnterprise crew meets a Sulibanwoman, called Sarin, who once wasa member and had met with Klaang

in the past, to discuss proof that theSuliban where responsible forincidents which endangered theKlingon Empire to fall into a civilwar.Before Sarin could help to trackdown Klaangs kidnappers, she waskilled. However Enterprise was ableto follow the assassinators ship to aSuliban base in the upperatmosphere ofa gas giant.The Starfleetcrew was ableto rescueKlaang andCaptainArcher metone of theSulibansleader, namedSilik, whotook part inmanipulatingthe past, before Archer was beamedaboard his ship.When Enterprise arrived at theKlingon homeworld they weretreated unfriendly in spite of theproof they brought with them.However Starfleet Command orders

Archer to continue his mission,although launched early.After several contacts with alienspecies, which e.g. had leftCommander Tucker pregnant,

Enterprise was ordered to investigatethe fate of the old Terran colonycalled Terra Nova. Which seemed tobe destroyed on the first view, wasrevealed to have survivors, adoptedto the new environment, changed byradiation, caused by an asteroidimpact.Only weeks later, Captain Archerwas interested in visiting monastery

called PJem. During the stay, themonastery is charged by a group ofsoldiers of unknown aliens. Sub-Commander TPol reveals them to beAndorians.These Andorians claim the monasteryto be a secret intelligence base andtherefore attacked it.During a chaotic rescue mission ledby Lt. Reed, Captain Archer actuallyuncovers the monitor base, theVulcans had promised not to beexistent. Archer gave the Andoriansthe proof they need and as aconsequence was allowed to leavethe planet with his ship and crew.Some weeks later when Enterprisewas scanning a mysterious nebula,with some visitors aboard, a almostfatal incident suddenly is interrupted.The stopped antimatter cascade isrevealed to be stopped by Silik, thevery Suliban from the ships maidenvoyage. Crewman Daniels whoclaims to be a traveller of the future,says Silik wanted enterprisenot to bedestroyed due to the effect thiswould have on the Temporal ColdWar.Siliks mission was it to kill Danielsand retrieve the data of the future hehas stored in his quarters. During a

During an infestation by an aliencreature, Lt. Reed develops forcefield and therefore is able to rescuethe ship while Ensign Satocommunicates with the alien via a

universal translator.In the tenth month of the mission,Enterprise causes a disastrousshockwave, which destroys a wholeplanet. Starfleet immediately cancelsthe mission. Captain Archer suddenlyis transferred back in time and meetsCrewman Daniels again, who helpedhim to defeat Silik in the past. Hetells them that Enterpriseis the victim

of a conspiracy and supports himwith data to reveal this.Back in the future Archer givesorders to his crew that enables it tolocate a cloaked Suliban cruiser.Archer infiltrates the cruiser with asmall team. This team is able toretrieve proof that the shockwavewas caused by sabotage.But when Enterprisewant to get thisproof into safety it is intercepted byan overwhelming force of Sulibanships, who want the data andCaptain Archer enter one of theirships. When Captain Archer want toenter the alien vessel, he somehowvanishes into a disrupted future,where he meets a disturbed Daniels,who tells him that the future hasbeen changed and the time-traveltechnology was destroyed.Enterprise future fate remains to beseen.
