Star Trek Adventures - Second Edition - Exploration Guide

GENESIS IN YOUR HANDS

 

“Instead of a dead moon, a living, breathing planet, capable of sustaining whatever life-forms we see fit to deposit on it.”

– Dr. Carol Marcus

 

For nearly 60 years, Star Trek™ has celebrated exploration as its central theme, using it as a vehicle for storytelling and social commentary in time-honored science fiction fashion.

 

This Exploration Guide is essential reading for any Star Trek Adventures crew interested in expanding their characters, missions, and campaigns into the final frontier and creating new sectors, worlds, and environments to discover and explore.

 

Use the wealth of advice and random tables in this book to create original galactic sectors, star systems, planets, and planetary terrains, and then explore those unique locations in your crew’s original Star Trek stories!
