Starfleet needs a new crew

Welcome to your new assignment, Captain. Your continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before...

Star Trek Adventures takes you to the Final Frontier of the Galaxy, where new discoveries await keen explorers of Starfleet. Your duties may take you to the edges of known space, or to Federation colonies in need, to the borders of neighboring galactic powers or into the eye of interstellar phenomena. Your ship and your crew epitomize the best Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets has to offer, and you are needed more than ever.

A new threat looms from across the Gamma Quadrant, as it is confirmed by Commander Sisko and his crew that the Dominion, led by the Founders, represent a significant threat to the Alpha Quadrant. Tension is already high in the region of Bajor and Deep Space 9, as the Maquis continue to act against the Cardassian-Federation peace treaty, with Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager preparing for their mission in the Badlands. It is a volatile time for the Federation and new crews have never been in higher demand.

Create your own Star Trek stories of discovery and adventure on the final frontier.
Complete 2d20 game system adapted for Star Trek Adventures.
An extensive exploration of the United Federation of Planets and its galactic neighbors in the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Quadrants.
