The premise for this game is the post Star Trek the Motion Picture era, but before 2278 when the new red uniforms arrived. Starfleet and the Federation are mid-transition to the militaristic 2280s and resumption of the hot war which results in the conflicts around Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
The basis for the game is the new 2nd Edition of Star Trek Adventures which has simplified and streamlined a lot.
The game will be run face-to-face at the WARS club in Floriana, Malta. I’ve got a couple of Trekkers already interested, which is cool, though how they will react to the era is interesting. It’s set after Discovery and Strange New Worlds, after the Original Series and in the aftermath of the Motion Picture.
In this timeline, V’GER continues on it’s evolution through the galaxy but returns many of the beings it “stored” before departing. The space station, Epsilon IX, is returned to it’s previous location but there are unforeseen changes. Commander Branch will be recalled to Starfleet and a new command crew will be sent out. These will be the PCs.
Much later in the timeline, Epsilon IX is the location of a secret science project in 2369.
