FASA TREK - Revised - RPG - Generation

Star Trek : The Next Generation
Revised Role-playing Character Generation Rules

Ive been an avid fan of Star Trek Role-playing, and the Star Trek : The
Role Playing Game in particular since its British edition was introduced
by Games Workshop in 1984. To be brutally honest, I became a Trekkie
because of the game, and not the other way around, and consequently I have
a slightly more generous attitude to the game than most serious Trekkies
do, who seem to regard it as a work of pure evil. So much for Gene
Rodenberrys message of tolerance
I collected the supplements, as they were imported, bought the scenarios
and adapted them to form a campaign for the intrepid officers of the USS
Niwen, and a few house rules were adopted along the way. And then in 1987
we started to here about this new series over here, and started salivating
at the thought of a new set of supplements. In early 1988, the series
began to be released on video in the UK, and was avidly rented by all the
devoted. And then we got the Officers Manual. It was devoured and
appreciated, and then we all noticed there wasnt actually any character
generation rules in it There was a half hearted set of descriptions for
Star Fleet Academys course requirements, but that was about it. The
follow First Season Supplement actually introduced new character types,
but was frankly, a mess. At this point I started adapting these (to
balance out the skill point allocations as per the original character
generation rules (these Next Generation types were very short changed in
some specialities)) and took on board a few ideas from an article in
Challenge (issue currently eludes me).
As more and more of the series was shown on here (We didnt even get it
on TV until 1990!) It became rapidly apparent to me that you didnt go
to Academy and say - Ill be a helmsman and after 4 years, that was all
you could do. The officers of the Next Generation and, it would seem, the
Original series and Films were in fact broadly educated. They could fill
in for each other, but they had particular leanings.
Geordi could fly, had command training, but his real forte was
Engineering (and Technobabble). Picard was a helmsman with a huge
scientific and archaeology interest. Dr Crusher had command training, and
could fly a shuttle and was handy with her fists, whereas Dr Pulaski
doctored and that was it and conspicuously could not fly a shuttle.
Clearly, the last two were not from the same mould. You could just about
tweak a character to get this kind of interest out of them, but then how
do you take into account things like Dr Bashirs Engineering extension
course and flight skills. Evidence accumulated that Star Fleet Academy
was more like a University, rather than a Military Academy, with all
Cadets taking a four year course, excepting MDs who took 8, where there
were a lot of optional courses, and that the emergent officers could be
qualified for multiple shipboard positions. Additionally, the release of
Mike Okudas Star Trek Chronology was a real eye opener. The wealth of
extra information that I gleaned from that made me rethink a few things,
and eventually led me to write these character generation rules that I
have used (with constant revisions) over the last 4 years.

I have tried to accommodate the following facts

Academy is attended for 4 years (8 for MDs) It is possible to do more
years (probably due to re-sit years)
Academy is a course based institute
It is possible to attain rank within the Academy (Kirk was a junior
Lieutenant at academy, Saavik was a Lieutenant before she graduated)
It is possible to be assigned to ships whilst nominally at the Academy
(Kirk was aboard the Farragut, and was at the signing of the Treaty of
Axanar)

Additionally to this, I could flesh out the on board positions. Medical
technicians and orderlies became possible, as did JAG officers, quarter
masters and more as I needed to make positions up. I have added a few
skills to the list, which had been previously been subsumed in others, but
come the Next Generation environment seemed more appropriate.

New Skills
Cybernetics
The study of creating artificial systems, that may, to a
greater or lesser extent mimic biological systems.
Bionics is an allied skill that governs their
interfacing with biological systems. Nanites would be
developed using this skill, as would Lt Commander Data.
Engineering Procedures
The basic ability to perform routine engineering tasks,
following protocols without necessarily knowing the ins
and outs of the system being maintained or modified.
Fusion Systems Technology
The Fundamentals of adjusting, designing and maintaining
Fusion power systems, including EPS conduits, Fusion
reactors and Impulse engines.
Management/Logistics
This is best thought of as the Business equivalent of
Leadership.
Non Verbal Communications
The study of communications methods that are not
vocalised. It would allow the study of body language to
indicate state of mind, etc.
Research
This is the co-ordination of effort and resources to
produce new information, or discover associations of
information that had not been previously obvious.
Space Sciences/Warp Physics
The science of the Warp drive. Whilst Warp Drive
Technology gives some degree of knowledge in this area,
the ins and oust of Subspace domains, and their
interaction with the regular universe are covered by
this skill, if only in a purely theoretical manner.
Starship Architecture
A very specialised skill, which governs the design
methodology behind starships and space stations. It is
the theoretical equivalent of Astronautics, and
primarily used by Fleet Architects, at facilities such
as Utopia Planitia.

2. Pre Academy Skills
The Total number of skill points available is equal to INT, half must be
allocated to skills from the Educational Background and the others to
those from Personal Development. Skills marked * must have the relevant
sub-skill selected.
Characters wishing to enter Academy at age 16 or 17 rather than 18
receive 10 or 5 skill points less than their INT would suggest.

3.0 Starfleet Officers Ranks
Upon entry to Starfleet Academy, the Character becomes a Midshipman.
During their Starfleet career, they will progress up the ranks as given
below.

3.1 Academy Skills
Starfleet Academy is a Four year course (Eight years for Medical Personnel
aiming to become Doctors). During this time, the Cadet chooses courses
equal to 4 or 8 years. Availability is restricted as follows;
A First Year Cadet must take Academy Core Curriculum
Each course must be taken in order. For example Medicine 2 has
Medicine 1 as a prerequisite, and may not be taken in the same year.
The following courses have Engineering as a pre-requisite; Starship
Sub-Systems, Starship Systems, Starship Architecture, Defence Systems
Technology and Propulsion Systems and Small Spacecraft Maintenance.
Officers wishing to become Doctors (as against Medical Personnel) must
take the Following courses; In the first 5 years Medicine 1-4, in Year
8 Medicine 5 and in years 6 and 7 one tour each year of Placement Duty
is compulsory. Note that any personnel re-sitting a course during the
first 4 years will not be allowed to continue on to become Doctors and
will graduate with only 4 years of training.
Each course may only be taken once. The exceptions are Placement Duty,
(which is only available only after the first year), which may only be
taken once per year, Racial Law (1 & 2) and Racial Language and Culture
(which may be taken once only per Race).
Racial Law 2 has Legal as a prerequisite. Racial Law can be taken as
Federation, in which case the language is a Federation founder
races, such as Vulcan, Andorian, Tellarite or Alpha Centauran (Ancient
Greek).

For each year, a performance report must be established. Roll 1d100 and
consult the Academy Yearly Progress chart.
Note that in the case of a repeat year, the Cadet must re-sit the same
courses, but will not gain the increase in rating normally given for those
courses, but experience rolls for that year will be given. In addition, a
Cadet re-sitting a year will treat a result of Good as Average and any
Inadequate result as Poor - the fact they are re-sitting does count
against them, but it is assumed that there is only one allowed attempt at
re-sitting a year - any character that would then be thrown out of Academy
obviously would not be entering play aboard a Star Fleet vessel as one of
its crew
After the final year of Academy, the Academy Graduation chart is
consulted. This will effect the Graduates first tour assignment and
possibly Rank.
Note that During Academy no Cadet may be promoted past Lieutenant JG or
below Midshipman. At graduation, there is an automatic promotion to
Ensign (Unless the cadet holds a higher rank), and any cadet holding the
rank of Lieutenant JG may be promoted to Lieutenant if a One Grade
promotion is indicated.

4. Post Academy Experience
Upon graduation, the number of tours that must be served is determined.
If the number of tours should be determined to be 0 or less then the
character takes the Destined assignment as the first assignment. If the
character is to be promoted, then there must be at least one tour served
to before the destined assignment.
Tour lengths depend upon the assignment;
Top of the Line, Exploration, Tactical, Colonial, Transport and
Starbase duties are 1d10/2 (round down not less than 1) years in duration
and Terraforming is 1d10 years in duration. Starfleet Academy will be one
year, filled with Academic courses not previously taken (no placement duty
allowed, and do not receive the normal INT/20 skill rolls) or 1d10/2 round
up if an Academy Tutor.

A Note on Skill Ratings
And How to Stop Them Getting Too Gross
Contrary to the normal STRPG rules, skills may exceed 99, but skills at
this level are generally only achieved through play. However, due to the
fact that it is stated that Doctors take eight years at Academy rather
than the normal four, by careful choice of courses Doctors could end up
with very gross levels in skills. With this particularly in mind, and to
encourage diversification of skills in general consult the following
table.

Course Skill Points to Increase Skills

Random skill increases (such as for Placement Duty) are applied at all
times at full value - there is no better teacher than experience. Games
Masters may want to use this method to control increases given through
play.

3.1 Enlisted Personnel Training Skills
Starfleet Enlisted Personnel Training School is a Two year course.
Skills are generally more restricted than for officers, resulting in
characters with a less broad base of abilities. Courses are taken to a
total of two years, availability is restricted as follows;
Basic Training must be taken in the first year.
Each course must be taken in order. For example Medicine 2 has
Medicine 1 as a prerequisite, and may not be taken in the same year.
The following courses have Engineering as a pre-requisite; Starship
Sub-Systems, Starship Systems, Defence Systems Technology and
Propulsion Systems and Small Spacecraft Maintenance.
NCO Training can only be taken when a character receives a promotion to
Warrant officer. The character receives another 6 months of courses as
per retraining.
Each course may only be taken once. The exception is Racial Language
and Culture (which may be taken once only per Race).

For Attributes

For Destined Position
Top of the Line +1
Exploration Command +1
NCO +2

Upon graduation, the number of tours that must be served is determined.
If the number of tours should be determined to be 0 or less then the
character takes the Destined assignment as the first assignment. If the
character is to be promoted, then there must be at least one tour served
to before the destined assignment.
Tour lengths depend upon the assignment;
Top of the Line, Exploration, Tactical, Colonial, Transport and
Starbase duties are 1d10/2 (round down, not less than 1) years in duration
and Terraforming is 1d10 years in duration. Retraining will be one year,
filled with courses not previously taken. Characters receiving a
promotion to Warrant Officer spend one year retraining, taking the NCO
course and any others not previously taken to make up to the full twelve
months.
At the end of each tour, check for Crewman Efficiency, and then for
Promotion. Note that the retraining associated with promotion to Warrant
Officer is not counted as a Tour, but is counted as a year of service. If
the character has failed to be promoted to Warrant offer by the end of its
tours of service, than they will become one (with the necessary training
just before their current assignment) if they are to be an NCO.

5. Character Age
Characters generally enter training at age 18. It is possible to enter at
16 or 17. To this add the two years for training and the number of years
spent on tours. If the character is an NCO, add the extra year for NCO
Training
6. Requirements for Shipboard Positions
Positions on vessels require certain prerequisites for them, these being
