Disclaimer: While Decipher Inc. has researched extensively to make this the most authentic Star Trek Roleplaying Game possible, the depth of information necessary for a fully-realized roleplaying game is not always revealed during a weekly television show. While we have tried to extrapolate logically within the flavor of Star Trek, we have taken some liberties and players should remember that only the events, characters and places that appear on the show or in films are canon.

To seek out new worlds… The very formation of Starfleet, and later the charter of the Federation, paints the idealistic mission of its members: To search the stars for new worlds and new civilizations. Even before any Human starship carried weapons or colonists, the first flights of fancy—starting with Zefram Cochrane’s Phoenix—were leaps into the unknown, just to see “what’s out there.” This book is “what’s out there.” Countless episodes of Star Trek show planet after planet, world after world, and in many cases, they’re not so different from ours. Sure, there are gas giants and deserts and icy deathtraps, but there are also jungles and oceans and Eden-like paradises. Every world is a backdrop against which the adventure is set.
