Space... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission; to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before...

Return to the beginning of the final frontier with the crew of the classic Enterprise commanded by James T. Kirk! This box contains everything you need. This main basic game gives you the real feeling of being in the TOS Era Universe.

Assume the identity of your favorite Star Trek character (or one you make) and become part of the voyages of the Starship USS Enterprise (or any other Constitution class ship). You will control your character's every thought and action as you lead him through one futuristic adventure after another. You will be facing the new challenges and unknown dangers of the final frontier. You will be the one who is forced into life or death situations which will require every ounce of your cunning and intellect as you experience all the excitement of Star Trek.

Star Trek: The Role Playing Game is a sophisticated game of strategy and interaction, whose only limits are those of your own imagination. The game includes a complete set of rules which create the world of Star Trek, and provide a framework in which players can interact, explore, fight, eat, sleep, or do anything else imaginable. Every facet of the Star Trek saga can be developed and explored. New races, civilization, and problems can be created, and exciting new puzzles can be solved. It is all up to you!

About the back of the box:
There are three different box backs, we think there where some printing errors that where fixed with each box difference such as paragraph errors, copy and paste errors and pages out of order. The adventure book also had similar errors corrected in later printings.

The early printings had black and white images w/K-7 Station in lower left. The back of the box lacks proper copyright information.

At some point one of the pictures, the K-7 was covered with a copyright sticker in the lower left.

On the later printings many pictures where changed and color was added, also a single content picture in the center bottom was added. Ultimately this new set of colorized pictures where reused for the 2nd Edition rules box backs. Note: The extended copyright info is now included in the text block, rather than on the sticker.

 

Starship Combat System (SCS) Game Notes:

This 1st ED starship combat system (SCS) generally supports up to 12 players, 6 on each side with a maximum of two separate ships (you can reduce the number of players per-side by having each player handling more than one panel.) The players would each represent a station on the bridge. Instead of a tactical board game, the role playing combat system offered players the chance to sit at "consoles" for the various bridge stations and perform their duties by allocating power to various systems, setting course, activating the shields, and firing weapons. The Game Master then used a Simplified System to represent other ships. Which basically is a "Master Control Panel" which is found in later released Starship rules. The Simplified System is usable by the players if they wish, particular if a single player controlled one or more ships.

 

This box is an Officially released personally autographed copy of the game. Notice the gold round sticker on the cover of the box. The book inside is signed on the inside front cover.
As far as I know only Walter Koening & James Doohan signed some box sets. These are the later printings where the back half of the box is in color, the latest 1st Edition printings.

TAKE THE CON, LIEUTENANT

STARSHIP TACTICS
All that stands between the Klingon battlefleet and Starbase One is a handful of Starfleet vessels. Your leadership must pull them together and make them work, or they'll be destroyed by the enemy force of D-7 Battlecruisers.

A starship captain has his command at his fingertips, but you must take the role of a Starfleet commodore, with command over this entire small fleet. You must be a step ahead of the enemy, or see the vessels that depend on you for tactical direction destroyed one by one.

Two D-7's sweep to starboard, disruptors blazing. Only one of your ships can bring phasers to bear quickly enough, but her captain reports heavy casualties already. The Klingon squadron leader has turned only weak aft shields to the "Hood" at flank. It only takes one mistake - has the Klingon leader made it, or have you?

As you bark out orders, you know this is, after all, only a simulation exercise. But if you're really only a Lieutenant in training, why are you gripping the arm of the command chair with nervous fingers? Next time, it could be real ships, real lives in your hands. Then, there will be no second chances...

In this section of the STAR TREK II, STARSHIP COMBAT SIMULATOR, you are in direct command of an array of starships facing a deadly, spaceborne enemy. You must use your forces to best advantage against your opponent. Fleets from all the galactic superpowers of the STAR TREK universe are at your disposal for simulating space battles in preparation for the always-present possibility of war.

STARSHIP TACTICS is designed for two or more commanders controlling from one ship each to the entire fleets, included in this box are the basic rules for beginning play, the advanced rules to expand play with more option and finally the expert rules for more detailed play.

Can be played as a stand-alone game, or used to play out Starship Combat for "Star Trek: The Role Playing Game", using the "Command & Control" rules.

 

TAKE THE CON, LIEUTENANT

COMMAND & CONTROL
As you slip into the command chair, its all up to you. Automatically you call for status reports.

"Power status nominal sir," comes the instant reply from the chief engineer, "Ready for whatever you need."

"Course locked in and on the screen," reports the navigator crisply.

"Sensors report an unidentified vessel closing course 73 -40 mark 12." This isn't news to you - it's what you've been sent to investigate.

"Open hailing frequencies and try all standard identification methods," you order and your communications officer follows through practically before you finish speaking.

"No response, sir, they're ignoring us."

"Object is definitely a manned starcraft matching our speed on an intercept course." the science officer elaborates. "Too soon to make complete identification."

Suddenly everyone is looking at you. All of these highly trained Starfleet Officers are waiting for your commands. What you do and say in the next few seconds will decide the fate of your ship and her crew...

This section of the game, STAR TREK II, STARSHIP COMBAT puts you directly in the role of a starship officer on the bridge during a combat simulation run. Using your control panel you have an instant readout on the functions of your part of the ship and can effect changes in systems status - all under the direction of the captain. For the player in the Captains seat there is no control panel - just the awesome responsibility of giving orders and directing the ship's fate.

COMMAND & CONTROL is played by 3 to 6 players (serving as the starship bridge crew), plus an "instructor" who sets up and monitors the situation while controlling the opposing vessels.

To boldly go ...

Step into the command seat of a starship for the Federation, the Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Gorn Alliance, or an Orion Pirate raider with the new Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator.

This game lets you simulate starship battles in the Star Trek universe. (TOS, STI, STII, STIII) Its a hex-based military simulator that you can play as one of five different factions which includes the Federation (of course), Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Gorn Alliance, or as an Orion pirate raider.

Players select from a variety of ships described in the rule book, spend about five minutes copying the information from the rule book to their "control panel" sheet.  (There are also pre-filled out sheets you can photocopy if you know which ships everyone will be using in). The "control panel" mats represent control consoles for different crew positions and counters each player could move along them reflecting the ship's state and their efforts to effect it.

This clever conceit turned ship combats into a dramatic sessions of delegated responsibilities. The Captain's player would be shouting commands to the various crewmen players who, in turn, would roll dice and adjust the panels in front of them as they shouted back the results. A good storyteller, meanwhile, would be spitting out color commentary along with overviews of the changing tactical situation.

You will spend about 25 to 30 minutes or so allocating energy, spending movement points, calculating to-hit numbers, taking into account damage modifiers, and finishing combat.

This "3rd Edition" (5th installment) of Starship Combat.
Using an all NEW  -Revised and Expanded- system, The Starship Tactical Combat Simulator (STCS) provides improved rules for:

-Movement
-Deflector Shields
-Detailed Starship Damage
-Damage Control
-Crew Casualties
-New Weapons
-Fast play mechanic and authenticity
-A bit more historical material
-Laser Weapon Section Expanded


The Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator gives you a fast-paced and detailed game of space combat. The boardgame rules are presented in a learn-as-you-go, three-part format:

Starfleet Command & Staff College Courses:

  • Basic Starship Tactics Course - This set teaches you the basics of maneuvering the starship and firing its weapons.
  • Advanced Starship Tactics Course - These rules apply to using Sensors, Special Equipment (Cloaking Devices), new Weapons, and Damage Control.
  • Graduate Starship Tactics Course -  These provide a more detailed damage location system and additional rules on Damage Control and Defense Outposts.

Starship Role Playing Combat Game:

  • ______Command And Control______

    The Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator is more than just a boardgame, for it also contains a complete starship combat roleplaying game titled Command & Control. This game allows players of Star Trek The Role-Playing Game to play out their encounters using their characters' abilities to the fullest. Now you can take a part of commanding a starship during a combat mission and see for yourself what it's like to sit at "consoles" for the various bridge stations; Captain, Chief Engineer, Helmsman, Navigator, or Science Officer. See for yourself what it's like to perform their duties by allocating power to various systems, setting course, activating the shields, and firing weapons. With Command & Control, you can step into the future, today.

The Back of the Box.

Special note about printed versions: There's two known versions of the STCS, an early printing and a later printing. FASA at some point "updated" the rulebook to correct some errors (not all though). If you turn to pg37 of your STCS and look in the top right corner and find that the title of the section for Self Destruction is present, then you have the early printing. If it's missing, then you have the later print.

Early Printing: The earlier printings on pg37 the "SELF-DESTRUCTING A STARSHIP" title and rules are presents. Also in this printing, the Command and Control section has text that simply was lifted from the ST:III Starship Combat rules and inserted. On Pg54 there is a missing BANKED WEAPONS DAMAGE TABLE.

Later Printing: The later printing on pg37 the self destruct title is missing and the actual rules for self destruct is missing, they omitted it out and replaced it with a paragraph explaining why ship captains wouldn't blow up their own starships. (Identical to the official Errata) Also, the Command and Control section in Later printings has the correct and updated text. On Pg54 there is a BANKED WEAPPONS DAMAGE TABLE. (notice how weapon is spelled with two Ps)

This later print is most likely found included with the Deluxe version of the RPG box set. There's no know way to tell the difference from the early print to the later print from the box or the covers of the book. FASA didn't give any indications that there where changes on the box or book, no notes or new copyright dates.

About the Errata: The errata sheet comes with some of the STCS Box sets and with some Deluxe Boxed Sets of the RPG. The self-destruct cop-out was on it (this is the updated text), as well as a clarification/corrections Among some of the fixes are, a corrected SENSOR SHADOW DIAGRAM, a BANKED WEAPONS DAMAGE TABLE and counters to photocopy for the 4 x D-10 and 4 x Gallant Wing. However there is no updated Command and Control section, which there should have been as there are errors in the early printed book. Regardless of which printing you have, portions of the Errata still apply.

 

Note: FASA also Sold just the book #2003A separately without the box:
When sold separately, this book does not include playing pieces, maps, dice, master control panel book or the book of forms, tables, and control panels.

Note2: FASA also Sold the book #2003A separately without the box in a shrink wrapped edition. This edition had a square white sticker of text on the cover (on the shrink wrap) indicating the following:
 

UPDATE YOUR
STAR TREK III
STARSHIP COMBAT GAME
 

Includes the complete rule set from the
STARSHIP TACTICAL COMBAT SIMULATOR
and a counter set of:
 
57 Starships
11 Asteroids
3 Mines
3 Defense Outposts
2 Planets
2 Moons

This shrink wrapped edition apparently only comes with one counter sheet(78 pieces) and lacks the starfield hex map. I suspect this edition to be an early printing, as mentioned above.

 

 

The Wrong Title: Notice in the following image, that the STSTCS spine title is labeled as:

It has the words 'Tactical and Combat' in the wrong places and adds 'Game'. This is true for all prints of this book.
However, This title follows more closely with the other starship combat games.

  • Two 10 sided Dice (0-9 marked once).

 

Typo/Errors: (This applies to the Deluxe box set as well)
On pages 24 (left column) & 37 (right column) of the Game Operations Manual, the book says for a characters Wound and Fatigue healing rates should be calculated as follows:

WOUND HEAL RATE - divide END score by 10
FATIGUE HEAL RATE - divide END score by 20

This system was obviously used to calculate the example character, Lee Sterling's healing rates (on the character sheet shown on page 2 of the Cadet Orientation Manual).

However, in the Starfleet Officer's Manual, as well as The Romulans, The Klingons, Orions, Starfleet Intelligence and the 2ed of Trader Captains & Merchant Princes supplements, the formula is reversed:

WOUND HEAL RATE - divide END score by 20
FATIGUE HEAL RATE  - divide END score by 10

The sample character sheet in the Starfleet Intelligence and Romulan supplements also use this second formula.
The Game Operations Manual is the one in error, the second formula above is correct.


   
Back of the Box.
NOTE: On the back of the basic game boxes the ISBN number is on the RIGHT bottom corner instead of on the left as on the Deluxe Box Set. In addition some basic sets do not have an ISBN on the back. (left photo).
I'm guessing the box with-out the ISBN was an earlier print, why would they forget to print it later...

 

   
This is the UK-licensed box cover version published by Games Workshop. Notice no FASA Logo on in the lower left, and the "Basic Game" text is in the lower left instead of in the top left. Also there is no fasa Stock number in the top right hand corner. (The back of the Box on the right) Contents are the same as FASA's Basic Game.

(1984/September 1, 1986) The Romulans Shrink Wrapped: ISBN: 0-931787-05-X

The Romulans: A Sourcebook and Character Generation Supplement. This add on module allows you to play the part of a Romulan. Included hundreds of useful facts with descriptions of Romulan history, culture and religion.

This rules expansion for Star Trek: The Role Playing Game provides hundreds of interesting facts about the Romulans, their personality, their history, and their religion. These books also tell about the Romulan Star Empire, the fascinating Eridam Papers that describe it, its government, its relations with the UFP and the Klingons, and its extent. And they tell about the Imperial Navy, its starships, weapons and equipment, its organization, and its combat tactics.

Now you can find out all about the Romulans.(upto STIII The Search For Spock.) All you need is right here to add these mysterious aliens to Star Trek: The Role Playing Game. Included are the following:


  • The Romulans: Star Fleet Intelligence Sourcebook (32 pages): (Player's Intelligence Manual detailing Star Fleet beliefs about the Romulans...)
    This book contains the latest intelligence on the Romulan people, the Romulan Star Empire, and the Romulan Imperial Navy. It includes up-to-date ( upto the Star Trek III period ) information that every Star Fleet officer should know if he is to serve anywhere near the Neutral Zone or the Triangle. Its many illustrations show uniforms and equipment, as well as starships, and Romulans engaged in various activities. It also contains short articles written by Commander Spock and others about the Romulans, as well as a short dictionary of common Romulan words.
  • The Romulan Way: Game Operations Manual (48 pages): (Gamemaster's Manual that tells the truth about the Romulans...)
    This book contains all the information necessary for designing and running games that feature the Romulans. It provides the information necessary to create and train Romulan characters; a Romulan Character Record also is provided. This information is complete and accurate, unlike the information possessed by Star Fleet Intelligence. With it, a gamemaster may add the Romulans to his game, keeping much of their mystery to his players.

 
Note About Covers:
This Shrink Wrap Packages of these books have different covers than the earlier pocket folder Set listed below. There's actually three covers to these two books. Book 1 shares covers, and the back cover is the UFP - Starfleet Intelligence Manual Cover. (pictured on the left) The Second book, UFP-The Game Operations Manual has the front cover pictured above on the right. This Shrink Wrapped version was packaged with the Artwork Card insert, then later a plain cardboard in between the two books was used, the front side of book 1 was used as the package cover. The contents of the books are identical to the pocket folder version.

 COPYRIGHT NOTE: On the back of the box in the lower left hand corner you will notice a Black rectangle area, this is thought to been a printing error in which the press put the wrong date. It appears to be on all the box's.
  ISBN: Notice that some, not all of the boxes have an ISBN which appears to have been stamped on after the box was printed. This ISBN is shared with FAS2006 2nd Edition Starship Combat listed below.

 

This box cover doesn't have the fasa logos in the bottom two corners, this indicates it was a UK Games Workshop published and printed release. Same game with no changes. You should also notice the movie image on the cover is cropped more than it is on the US release despite that there is only two squares on either side of the movie image, instead of three like on the US version.

2007 The Triangle
 

 

The Triangle

(1985) 96 pages ISBN: 0-930787-07-5

The Triangle... The vast neutral area between the galaxy's three major powers. A place where a man's past is not discussed, where a man's present is measured by the credits in his pocket, and where his future may be in his holster.
Not since the days of Terra's wide open American West has there been such opportunity for fortune, glory, danger ... or death. The citizens of the golden Triangle play for keeps, and they only know the rules! But if a man where not afraid to gamble, live fast, die hard ... the possibilities are endless ...

All you need to begin adventuring in the Golden Triangle is right here, in this supplement to the ST:TRPG.
You will find full details on:

  • 120 Unusual Worlds for adventuring
  • 30 interesting NPC's for encounters
  • History and Governments
  • Corporations, trade routes, the black market
  • Alien races and more


Extended Information:
The Triangle details the region between the Federation, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Empire, a region filled with factions loyal to no one, and home to renegades, would-be despots, and more. The Triangle, a region of the Galaxy long known for its disregard for any law but its own, is the setting for this sourcebook for "Star Trek: The Role Playing Game". The Triangle is full of renegade Romulans and Klingons, pirate kings, black-market weapon dealers, and many other unsavory characters. Among these are some small groups of organizations; The Baker's Dozen, The Mantiev Colonial Association, The Turnstile and The Imperial Klingon State.

The book contains information about the political, military, and economic goals of the three major powers bordering this neutral region of space. The largest part of the book is made up of 120 world logs of the inhabited planets of the Triangle and 30 npc character sheets for some of the more important and interesting personalities who live and do business there. Info on alien races, corporations, black markets, and much, much more. Also included are several maps and indices for easy reference and cross-indexing. This supplement allows for some very diverse adventures.

Included in this huge book:

  • A beautiful 17" x 22" map in full color, that shows all the inhabited planets of the Triangle and all political boundaries of the major races and minor states. Also a Large B&W map is included.
  • Between pages 46 and 47 there are four pages that are unnumbered: Small B&W Triangle Map, A 2page Travel Time Scales, Another Small B&W map.

Another supplement, "The Triangle Campaign" (#2215), uses this setting for a multi-strand adventure campaign.

2008 The Orions

 

 

The Book of Common Knowledge

The Book of Deep Knowledge

(1987) ISBN: 0-931787-08-44
"There are three kinds of people I don't want to face while making a deal," master trader Carter Winston once said. "Vulcan bankers, Tellarite lawyers, or anybody Orion."

The Orions hold a unique place in the STAR TREK Universe. Their planets sit between the Federation and Klingon Empire, they tend to ignore political boundaries, they tend to do anything if it will lead to profit. There is no central Orion authority, and so families and clans do pretty much what they want. Slavery is still common in Orion society. This two-book Set includes The Book of Common Knowledge for players and The Book of Deep Knowledge for gamemasters. The Book of Common Knowledge details the facts as any but true Orions would know them. The Book of Deep Knowledge provides the true facts concerning all aspects of Orion life, society, politics, and economics.

The Orions supplement for Star Trek: The Role Playing Game consists of two books.

  • The Book of Common Knowledge (80-pages); contains information that is known to Federation, Klingon, and Romulan characters. Inside are the Orions' social structure, a racial history dating back hundreds of thousands of years, descriptions of trade on Rigel IV (where alien races have traded for millennia), details on Orion slavery, and numerous planetary descriptions.
  • The Book of Deep Knowledge (48-pages); provides that information known only to the gamemaster and Orion characters. It fills the gaps of Orion history, presents the Orion character generation system, describes Orion families, corporations, and governments, and the exciting green slave women. The book also sets the record straight on Orion pirates.

Whether seductive slaves or merchants extraordinaire, Orions are the most treacherous, egocentric, opportunistic, materialistic, hedonistic, and barbaric beings in the galaxy. Play them to the hilt with The Orions.

 

Note:
The Orions received a lot of coverage in the FASA system. The two other most important supplements dealing with Orions were: "The Triangle: which covers the area of space known as the Triangle where a lot of Orion happenings go on. Also "Trader Captains & Merchant Princes" is the best source on commerce in Star Trek, and as such, contains a lot of info on the Orions and being a trader. The Triangle comes with a map, this is highly recommended if you plan on using the Orions and that region of space.

The "Triangle Campaign" is a set of adventures for the Triangle. Not really useful in this case. However both "Orion Ruse" and "Margin of Profit" contain things on Orions, but thin. "Margin of Profit" is eight pages of adventure and 36 pages of characters, maps, and ship stats. “Orion Ruse” is only slightly better.

 

 


2011 The Federation
 

 

The Federation

(September 1, 1986) 128 pages ISBN: 0-931787-30-0

Spanning over 5,000,000 cubic parsecs in size, encompassing thousands of unique planetary systems... this is the Federation... the most ambitious political and cultural experiment ever attempted. This rules supplement and sourcebook contains comprehensive information that has never before appeared in a single volume. Describes the structure, operation and organization of this political body. Included is extensive background information on the founding members and their cultures. With a detailed examination of the Vulcans, Terrans, Andorians, Tellarites, Edoans, Caitians and many other races.

The Federation covers the entire history of the Federation, articles of Federation, current Federation interstellar relations, the governmental and bureaucratic structure of the Federation, as well as providing information on individuals who have made their mark -- for good or ill on Federation history and statistics on the major civilizations and over 500 planets within Federation space, and much, much more.

As a primary information source, an easy-to-use reference guide, and a compendium of facts and figures found nowhere else, this booklet synthesizes hundreds of sources, past and present, to make the Federation a complete political, military, and cultural entity.

Guru Content Notes:

There's some historical stuff on the founding of the Federation but nothing much between the end of TOS and TMP. A lot of the material predates TOS, and before the Romulan War. It's definitely written post ST III. Nothing significant between 2269 and 2283.

Not written by the original game authors, (FASA's view of) UFP background, government structure (and where 'Fleet fits in), and one mention of where ship construction takes place (p33). It has a different tone compared to earlier game content - really just content dump of stats, trivia and other minutia. A lot of background material, but not a lot of game material. It has 30 pages or so of planet stats and descriptions, some with updates on planets that appeared in TOS. A dozens pages about major Federation races, a half dozen pages of famous people, a quadrant map, etc...
