About

Here we are all about getting our Trek on using the Star Trek Adventures system as published by Modiphius Games . You can find these rules for sale on Drive-Thru RPG in PDF format or on their website. You should also be able to find the rules for sale at gaming stores in your country if you want a physical copy and buying directly from Modiphius isn't feasible.

Note that if you buy a physical copy you can email them your receipt and they will email you a pdf for free!

While you can use any of the rules books you like, you only need the Core Rules and/or Captain's Log, the latter being optimised for solo or duo play but also helpful for character development for group play.

Shared Universes

Being the Sci-Fi, interplanetary franchise that it is, there is a lot of space to go around and here we share it much like the shows and most of the films do. There are four options currently for you to play from, the three “Standard” universes which are the “Prime” universe, the “Mirror” Universe and the “Kelvin” Universe. The fourth option is “Other” universes in case there's an itch you really want to scratch that none of the others can reach.

  • The Prime Universe is the same universe that hosts all of the shows the majority of the time, TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, DIS, LD, PIC, SNW and all of the corresponding movies.
  • The Mirror Universe is the dark mirror of the prime universe where the Federation never had a chance to take root. It doesn't have its own series but shows up with regularity in the regular series. Episodes include: TOS: Mirror, Mirror [2×04], TOS: The Tholian Web [3×09], DS9: Crossover [2×23], DS9: Through The Looking Glass [3×19], amongst many others.
  • The Kelvin Universe is the universe created for the Star Trek movies starting with Star Trek (2009) by JJ Abrams. This is sometimes also known as AOS (Alternate Original Series) or JJ Verse for the Lens Flare enthusiast himself.

That we are sharing universes means the ships others create do exist in ours (if we are in the same one), as do events and characters. This is good to keep in mind as there won't be two identically named ships running around at the same time unless someone has stolen one from the fleet museum.

Sharing is great, though, as it gives our stories a richer texture because they are part of a broader tapestry. While you can't be expected to read everyone's logs, we will have a place for people to submit a brief summary of their missions so that we can maintain a broad idea of the goings on in the fleet.
