INTRODUCTION
December, 2012. Its almost Cristmas !or te en" o# te $orl",
"e%en"ing on $o you tal& to', an" te Fate Core (ic&starter is in #ull
s$ing. )ea"ing te %re*ie$ +D, is getting a lot o# %eo%le e-cite".
Concurrently, my $i#e starte" $atcing Deep Space Nine, re&in"ling my
li#elong lo*e #or !nearly' all tings Trek.
Im e-cite" to see $at as%ects an" #ate %oints $ill bring to te Trek
uni*erse. Maybe $e can tac&le some o# te issues tat ma&e .ene
)o""enberrys *ision so "i##icult to com%el at te gaming table.
A Few Assumptions
Experience with the setting. I $ill not ma&e any e##ort to
e-%lain te conce%ts o# Star Trek. I# youre rea"ing tis, Ill
assume you alrea"y a*e a %assion #or te setting, an" $ant to see
o$ it migt $or& $it Fate.
Experience with the system. I# you "ont &no$ about Fate, tis
isnt te %lace to start.
Starfleet and the UFP. I# you $ant to %lay %ri*ateers, tere are
oter settings tat %robably "o it better. In my o%inion, Star#leet
an" te ,e"eration are cornerstones o# te setting/ tey re%resent
an i"eology o# %rogress an" inclusion 0 a sare" goal o# $or&ing
togeter to a""ress %roblems #rom an enligtene" %ers%ecti*e.
Aliens an" outcasts are *itally im%ortant 0 but i# being on te
#ringes o# society is $at brings you to te table, $ell1 tats
$y .o" ma"e Firefly.
A storytelling bent. 2is "ocument re%resents an e##ort to use
te Fate engine to tell stories in te Star Trek uni*erse. 3nless Im
$ay o## te mar&, Fate isnt %articularly suite" to ac&4an"4slas,
min4ma-, rules4la$yering, or similarly %e"antic %laying styles.

SETTING
Time Frame and Tone
Star Trek is more tan one ting. It can be cam%y, or sel#4serious5
com%elling, or bloate"5 blan"ly morose, or #ull o# t$o4#iste", #our4color
action. Many o# tese traits are strongly embo"ie" $itin in"i*i"ual
6generations o# te #rancise.
Coosing te $en an" $ere o# your Star Trek story says a lot about te
tone tat youre a#ter.
The Original Series (and its related films) embrace" a sense o#
$on"er an" e-uberance at e-%loring te "e%ts o# s%ace an" te
