Drones

by Jim

Starfleet utilizes drones to augment and assist crew in routine tasks. Aboard ship, drones may be used to quickly access remote parts of the ship, perform simple repairs/maintenance, or assess damage when compartments become inaccessible to the crew. On missions crew-members may use drones to augment survey operations, search and rescue, or in survival situations

Gravity Bike

January 31, 2020February 21, 2020
by Jim

Starfleet Hovercruisers (also known as Gravity Bikes or GravBikes) are one-person vehicles which may skim the surface of planets or fly at low-altitudes. The vehicle is styled after standard motorcycles, and are ridden in much the same style. Instead of wheels, the GravBike uses repulsor technology to propel the vehicle without touching the ground. Opportunity

A computer system’s diagnostic mode is used to ascertain whether or not there are problems or inconsistencies in a starship’s systems. Table 7.6: System Diagnostics Diagnostic Level Duration Description 5 3 seconds A computer operated routine, ordered by the characters. 4 5 minutes A more comprehensive computer routine. 3 30 minutes A manual check of

Stellar / Interstellar Phenomena

January 30, 2020February 21, 2020
by Jim

In addition to galactic-scale phenomena such as the spiral arms, the Core, and the Barriers, many dangers and scientific opportunities appear in the vast empty spaces among the stars. In general, such phenomena occur most commonly in regions of denser star populations, but exploratory vessels have found enough excep-tions to this rule to fill a

Stellar Classification

January 28, 2020February 21, 2020
by Jim

Spectral (or stellar) classification is the process by which scientists define the size, composition and emissions of a star or other astronomical object. The system begins with a series of letters followed by single digits that determines the star’s heat and output. Additional symbols and abbreviations are added to further qualify special types of stars

Probes

January 28, 2020February 21, 2020
by Jim

Probes are automated spacecraft used to gather information. Some probes are often used for tasks that starships are not suited to handle. Some probes used by Starfleet are modified photon torpedo casings with extended sensor equipment and no warhead. Deep space probes have casings that contain radioactive material that can potentially contaminate the biosphere of

Planetary Classification

January 28, 2020February 21, 2020
by Jim

The Federation classifies planets it catalogs based on criteria such as atmospheric composition, surface temperature, and conditions, the size of the body, and the presence of animal and plant life. This system is used to determine the suitability of the planet for exploration, colonization, and scientific research. Each class of planet is assigned a letter

Galactic Features

January 28, 2020February 21, 2020
by Jim

The Galaxy is not an undifferentiated mass of stars, but contains many different features and regions. Each has its own challenges, opportunities, and dangers for interstellar explorers, colonists, and scientists. The Spiral Arms Like other space objects, the Galaxy rotates, creating “spiral arms” thousands of light-years long and thick; each arm contains thousands of stars.

Evacuation Ship Talent

by Jim

The ship has extensive capacity for the housing and support of evacuees. Most if not all non-essential facilities on-board the ship have been converted into housing including but not limited to cargo bays, holodecks, arboretums, etc. Standard housing has been modified to provide more beds at the cost of space. Additionally, crew quarters have been
