Battle at the Ziggurat -- David Menehan's cover for Prime Directive: The Star Fleet Universe Role-Playing Game, by Task Force Games, designed by Timothy D Olsen and Mark Costello (1993).

Prime Directive obviously is a Star Trek RPG, but one that does not mention "Star Trek" by name. It was published under the same license as Star Fleet Battles, granted to Stephen V Cole's Amarillo Design Bureau in the late 1970s by Franz Joseph, creator of the 1975 Star Fleet Technical Manual.

Like Star Fleet Battles, Prime Directive is focused on military actions. Player characters are members of a Federation Prime Team, an elite special forces unit assigned to the most dangerous missions.

Prime Directive describes a United Federation of Planets, phasers, and Vulcans, but you won't find Kirk or the Enterprise in this book, even in its detailed Star Fleet Universe Timeline. For that you need Star Trek: The Role Playing Game by FASA (1982-89), based directly on the original series, animated series, and first movie.

Star Fleet Battles is the Star Trek-based wargame that’s been in constant publication since 1979, leading to an expanded range of games and lore known as the Star Fleet Universe. SFB fan, expert, and contributor Bill Barsh of Pacesetter Games and Simulations joins to talk all about it and take us into the final frontier of wargames! Is SFB for wargamers, Trekkies, or both? Which SFB weapons do Shane and Bill most hate to be on the receiving end of? Speed is life. SSDs, phasers, and hellbores, oh my!

When I was a kid, my parents bought me Starfleet Command II in a big box from Sam’s Club.

The game had a bad CD key and was unplayable. The dev had just gone defunct, so there was nobody to reach out to for support.

However, that game had a standalone expansion, so we ended up playing that instead.

A game company’s crappy anti-piracy measure drove me to play the pirate game instead.

I love Star Fleet Battles. Really wish there was an online version. Maybe there is and I've just missed it.

Has anyone made a Star Fleet Battles scenario out of Dawson's Christian?

I'm thinking a Fed Old Light cruiser, all phasers replaced with Ph-4s. Add AWR (or include special power rules) to give it enough power to fully charge the phasers and overload photons every turn (two for the torps), and a natural +4 ECM. Special damage rules so that hits don't actually destroy systems until total destruction - though I'm thinking phaser hits might degrade them, to Ph-1, Ph-2, Ph-3, and finally inoperable - but with a special repair rule so they come back up every turn or two. And last, a random roll each turn (secret to the pirate player) to determine an impulse where the Christian fades out - four impulse fade-out, one impulse completely undetectable (all seeking weapons lose tracking) and four to fade back in. I think it would make a great random monster scenario for large campaigns. Whatever sort of supply-ship-attack scenarios you have set up has a small chance of replacing the defending ships with a faction-appropriate version of the Christian.

More importantly, any Trek fan who hasn't heard the song needs to correct that.

So this one was a birthday gift to my dad because he played Star Fleet Battles a long time ago and we’re nerds. So it’s the Kzinti fighting the Lyrans in space on ships because I believe he used one of those fleets in Star Fleet Battles a lot.

Also, sadly, I do not make Star Trek stuff usually for those Trekkies who may have come across this, so I’m sorry if that disappoints you :(

a 6 round game of star wars armada. I was commanding a rebel grab bag flying 3 new ships, the mc80, the rebel version of the providence class, and my beloved little mc30, plus admiral akbar on the corvette. I managed to secure a narrow victory against a 6 ship Republic list (those little councilor class ships can pack a punch, especially when there's 3 of them flying around). we also used some of my recently 3d printed obstacles, we had one astroid field and one debris field, and I'll hopefully have a completed set soon

my mc30 was just as amazing as I thought it would be, even if I mispiloted a little. I deployed a little too close, so I had to swing the mc30 wide to the right turn 1 to avoid a collision. I would've wanted it to get to the action sooner and get some better shots in, but having it go wide actually won me the game. I managed to pick off a few small ships early on, but my providence went down turn 3 before getting to activate, and the mc80 went down a few turns later, but it managed to tear into both the victory and acclimator while it was still space worthy. on the last turn, the mc30 swooped behind the acclimator and victory, getting two beautiful close range shots into both of them, taking them both down before evading a hail of fire from the enemy flagship pelta. in the end, had the mc30 had one hull point left, exhausting the last of its defenses to barely hang on, but hang on it did. anakin was no match for akbar, but he put up a good fight. mc30 was definitely the MVP, I want two more of them.

the contrast between elsbeth's tribe (nightsister... commoners? peasants? villagers?) fighting grievous vs talzin's clan (nightsister royalty) is so funny like.

elsbeth's clan: probably-Mother Selena dueling grievous with two fire sickles that melt/short out when hit by lightsabers (grievous didn't even split his arms! it's literally a leisurely spar for him). approximately three archers in the background. one single unit of B1s and B2s plus possibly a handful of commando droids. elsbeth hiding in a tree and falling out.

talzin's clan: Mother Talzin voodooing Dooku from the castle basement and then levitating in a giant electric sphere and zapping the entire droid army for like five minutes straight. Ventress dueling four-arms grievous for equally long. An entire army of archers casually force-speed/force-jumping over entire trees. Grievous' full fleet, a bomber squad, a unit of commando droids, magnaguards, state of the art experimental tanks, more regular tanks, and a full army of B1s/B2s. Daka long-distance-necromancing the entire clan and resurrecting every single dead nightsister in the entire region. Talzin finally not-surrending by turning herself into a force ghost and then promptly going to start a cult to revive herself/the dead nightsisters.

#star wars #tote #sw tote #morgan elsbeth #selena elsbeth #asajj ventress #mother talzin #the names are so funny too #like there's selena elsbeth and then Talzin Opress #its as if grievous destroyed talzins castle and then was like. hey. while we're here we should stop by the convenience store #and steamroll the dollar tree nightsister village #i wonder what happened to the rancor rider nightsister clan from the 1998 comic #they seem like one of the other powerful ones and they do have rancors and somewhat of a slave army #plus like. ros lai (i think thats her name) is still alive and probably became the Mother if the old lady died #and she is like. fully 100% force sensitive with magic and a lightsaber #if she managed to rebuild the clan after quinlan exploded everything then her clan would probably also be one of the most grievous-resistan #though it seems like talzins clan was *the* definitive Necromancy Clan so they wouldnt be able to rely on the dead army #and anyways i dont think they do those pod things either? #but they do have battle rancors #definitely wouldn't survive an all-out attack from grievous' full fleet/army #but if he showed up there later after having burned most of his resources to talzin's clan they at least have a chance of #him deciding its too much effort to hunt them too #especially when talzins clan were the only particular offenders

When are we getting a Valkyrie MV where they sword dance, though?

#i think it has to happen realistically. #not even for the homoeroticism of those two sword dancing on stage but for the theatricity of it #the story of conflict told through dancing with swords . a choreography of conflict #idk i only know sword dances through attending the reenactment of the battle between Venetian and Omiš fleets #ensemble stars
