Not all of the drama nor all of the heroes are on the Bridge.
—Stephen V. Cole
It was 1983 and Nexus #6 had just been released. It focused this time on Star Fleet Battles, with the lead story of "Behind the Glory of the Heroes" by Joseph McCarthy. (The story was later reprinted in Captain's Log #13.) Play by mail was arriving for Star Fleet Battles players and an extensive article explained how to do that. The Commander's Edition Rulebook was being released. Lyran space was described. Richard Kerr told you all you wanted to know about painting Kzinti ships and there was a page of Kzinti emblems. SSDs of the Tholian destroyer, Lyran Cougar fleet tug/Puma transport tug, Hydran Caravan tug, and Gorn battle destroyer were included.
Other games were covered with a timeline for the universe of Starfire, a scenario for Battlewagon ("The Battle of San Bernadino Straits," released in PDF as "Battlewagon Article #2"), and a review of Epyx’s Armor Assault.
