Nexus Issue 12 (Magazine)
"Go out there and take a look, Brian. If it’s a Klingon, kill it; if it’s natural, study it; if it’s dangerous, cut and run back here."
It was 1985 and Nexus #12 had just been released. This issue focused on the Star Fleet Universe, Starfire, and History of the Second World War.
The Star Fleet Universe section started with information about the company. It progressed on to an article on Hydran ship names. There was a page of Term Papers and two pages of The Academy. The fiction was “A Warrior’s Death” featuring the Klingons and the Federation. There were two scenarios that follow the setup from the fiction. An early version of the Federation & Empire campaign map was the "centerfold" of the issue. The SFB Cadet Training Module was introduced. Finally, there was also the inevitable (at the time) collection of addenda.
Starfire had a good number of articles. There were articles on the Protectorate of Rigel, including their military services and a timeline.
There were errata for part 2 of History of the Second World War and a play aid. Also included were alternative German invasion plans.
Battlewagon has errata and gains information on battleships and battlecruisers.
