USS Eridanus (NCC-T117)

The **USS Eridanus (NCC-T117)** was a Constellation-class (2182) transport operated by the Federation Starfleet in the late 22nd century (not to be confused with the Constellation-class explorer starship that entered service in the late 23rd century).

It was named for the constellation visible from Earth's southern hemisphere.

## 22nd Century

The *Eridanus* entered service in 2284 and made multiple supply runs to various colony worlds and facilities during its first three years of service.

In 2287, the *Eridanus* was returning from a supply run to a newly established colony near the Romulan border when it disappeared. It was assumed that the ship was destroyed by Romulan forces, though no debris or other evidence was ever found.

## 24th Century

In 2339, an old-style distress call was received and investigated by the USS Tempest (NCC-10535). The *Tempest* first discovered a Type-1 shuttlecraft belonging to the *Eridanus* landed on a planet. Shortly after, the *Tempest* discovered the *Eridanus* itself inside the event horizon of a temporal distortion. While over 150 years elapsed outside the distortion, only two years elapsed within it.

While trapped within the temporal distortion, time passed at a substantially different rate compared to the outside galaxy. As a result of an encounter with an alien life form and the crew becoming infected with a paranoia inducing compound, the *Eridanus*' crew descended into sectarian violence. Multiple crew members were killed in various attempts at jockeying for control of the ship's systems.

The *Eridanus* was freed when the *Tempest* crew managed to cure the paranoid psychosis and help the alien, who had inadvertently caused the temporal distortion, neutralize the distortion and return home in the process.

## Current Status

Following the conclusion of the incident, the *Eridanus* was mothballed in the Galnor II surplus depot, where it remains.

## Crew

## Background Information

The Constellation design and the *Eridanus* name come from the history developed by the fan site starfleet-museum.org. The original vessel featured in the These Are the Voyages... book is the NX-class *Atlantis*, the same design as the NX-01 *Enterprise* from the television show Star Trek: Enterprise. Brian dislikes that design and so chose to replace it with one detailed at the Starfleet Museum fan site, whose existence predates the production of the Star Trek: Enterprise show.
Laura Blake

Laura Blake was a human Starfleet officer and captain of the USS Ellesmere (NCC-21464) in the mid-24th century. In 2339, she was killed after her ship accidentally entered the Romulan Neutral Zone and was attacked. It was initially believed she had been killed by being struck by a falling bulkhead as a result of the ship taking damage. However, an autopsy later revealed that she had actually been strangled to death and the blunt force trauma inflicted postmortem.

An investigation further revealed that she had been killed by a Romulan spy posing as a Vulcan operations officer, who had engineered the ship's crossing into the Neutral Zone as part of an effort to steal valuable sensor and deployment data.

Blake had planned to retire from Starfleet soon and had already recommended her first officer, Lieutenant Commander Alison Lewis to replace her as the *Ellesmere's* commanding officer.
Klingon Empire

The Klingon Empire was an interstellar governmental power located in the Beta Quadrant, composed and run primarily by Klingons.

## Diplomatic Relations

### Background

The Klingon Empire had long been hostile to the United Federation of Planets, with long periods of cold war punctuated by intermittent open hostilities. In 2293, the Klingon moon of Praxis exploded, decimating the Klingon's ability to maintain an interstellar fleet, as Praxis was the Empire's key source of dilithium. As a result, the Klingons agreed to an extended peace agreement with the United Federation of Planets for the first time. (*STVI: The Undiscovered Country*)

However, this agreement came at a profound moment of weakness for Klingon culture, and while the Federation viewed it as a first step towards a lasting peace, Klingons largely viewed it as a necessary evil to be temporarily endured while they focused on regaining their self sufficiency. The original peace treaty, known as the Khitomer Accords, were set to expire in 2343 after 50 Earth years, after which they could be renegotiated or left to expire.

The Khitomer Accords also included provisions for supplying the Klingon Empire with refined dilithium and other humanitarian aide, a step which Federation officials hoped would demonstrate good will and the sincere desire for peace. However, the diplomats at the time failed to account for Klingon cultural attitudes, not realizing that actively helping an enemy in a moment of humiliating weakness was considered a profound act of disrespect. Though the Klingons accepted the aide, they did so out of pure pragmatic necessity and far from having the intended effect of strengthening relations, it made Klingons and Klingon society in general deeply suspicious and resentful of Federation motives.

### Present Day

In the 46 years between 2293 and 2339, Federation diplomats and organizations made many attempts at building upon the foundation of peace started with the Khitomer Accords. But nearly all efforts were rebuffed and dismissed by both the Klingon government and Klingon society at large as insincere attempts meant to only further humiliate the Empire and destroy the Klingon way of life.

From almost the moment the Khitomer Accords were signed, the Empire began a concerted effort at finding new natural resources to regain their self sufficiency. Most important of all of these efforts were the various attempts to replace the dilithium ore lost from the Praxis explosion. By 2339, the dilithium ore available to Klingon miners had nearly returned to pre-Praxis levels, though the Klingon cultural psyche had yet to recover as well. The memory of the Empire's weakness and reliance on help from an enemy was still a fresh wound. As a result, it remained an open question as to whether or not the Federation would be able to sustain the peace or whether the Klingons would once again become the Federation's chief adversary.
SS Cassowary (NAR-28577)

The **SS Cassowary (NAR-28577)** was an Aerie-class survey vessel operated by the United Federation of Planets in the mid-24th century. In 2339, it was assigned to special research by the Federation Science Council.

The *Cassowary* was named for the Earth bird native to the tropical forests of Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, East Nusa Tenggara, the Maluku Islands, and northeastern Australia.
Marta Batanides

**Marta Batanides** was a human Starfleet officer that worked in Starfleet Intelligence as a case officer for agents operating undercover in hostile organizations. In 2339, Batanides was the case officer for Lieutenants Rhonda Garcia and Cynthia Milder, both of whom had been operating undercover in the Orion Syndicate. (1.5: Sabotage on Station 7)

In 2340, she called upon the crew of the *Tempest* again for carrying out a new delicate mission on behalf of Starfleet Intelligence - this time confirming whether or not the Klingons were preparing an invasion fleet to invade Federation space.

Batanides graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2327, graduating alongside friend and classmate Jean-Luc Picard. (TNG: Tapestry)

*In one potentially alternate timeline, Batanides would go on to command a starship with first officer Alonzo Vandermeer. (PIC: Broken Pieces)*
Momentum

**Momentum** is an aspect of gameplay in Star Trek: Adventures that allows players to improve their odds of rolling well enough to accomplish Tasks and achieve other benefits.

The GM's equivalent of Momentum is Threat.

## Uses

### Purchasing Additional Dice

A player may use Momentum to purchase additional dice and improve their odds of rolling enough Successes to succeed at the Task. A player may purchase up to 3 additional dice using Momentum to roll a total of 5. Each dice costs one additional point of Momentum. For example, +1D20 costs 1 Momentum. +2D20 costs 3 Momentum (1+2), and +3D20 costs 6 Momentum (1+2+3).

### Avoiding an Injury

If a character suffers an injury in combat, the player may spend two Momentum to avoid that injury. But this may only be done once per scene. If the same character suffers a second injury in the scene, they cannot use Momentum to avoid the injury a second time.

### Boosting Success Effects

For certain actions, Momentum can be used to add to the amount of returns from a successful task roll. Some examples include:

* When rerouting power on a ship, additional points of power can be purchased with one point of Momentum per point of power.
* Certain qualities of weapons and other equipment can be extended by spending Momentum, such as additional points of damage or ignoring points of Resistance.
* On extended tasks and under certain cases, Momentum can be spent to do additional points of Work.

## Limitations

According to the standard Star Trek: Adventures rules, players may only have up to 6 Momentum at any one time. The Star Trek: Tempest campaign uses a house rule that raises that limit to 8.

Officially, Players do not start with Momentum, it must be earned. (per https://forums.modiphius.com/t/starting-momentum/7116)

Every time there is a scene change within a mission/session, the players lose 1 point of Momentum.
Silla Sh'thaasreth

**Silla Sh'thaasreth** was an Andorian woman and archeologist active in the mid-24th century. After graduating from the Andorian Science Academy, Sh'thaasreth joined the Vulcan Science Academy as a researcher.

While there, she discovered an artifact on Thelon III, later named the Nevis Stone, which further research revealed to connect the languages of three planets that otherwise shared no common cultural connection. Subsequent to the artifact's discovery and removal from Thelon III, it was discovered to be an important cultural element for the planet's pre-warp civilization, with its removal causing a significant disruption to the local society.

Following this realization, Sh'thaasreth argued strongly for returning the artifact. However, the Academy's leadership ultimately decided that since the damage would not be undone by returning it and because the find was too valuable to return, they would keep the artifact in its possession. As a result, Sh'thaasreth resigned in protest.

After leaving the Science Academy, Sh'thaasreth began working independently, searching for and recovering artifacts on her own and selling some to private parties for profit.

At some point following her departure from the institute, Sh'thaasreth acquired a personal starship, the KR Nabi, which she used until at least 2339.
USS Challenger (NCC-10540)

The **USS Challenger (NCC-10540)** was an Ambassador-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century. In mid-2339, it was assigned to patrol the border with the Cardassian Union.

The *Challenger* was among the first production batch Ambassador-class ships, making it a sister ship to the USS Tempest (NCC-10535) and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C). The *Challenger* was named for two early human spaceflight craft - one of the lunar landing craft in the planet's first series of crewed visits to the satellite, and a space shuttle named for the lander that was later lost due to a malfunction during launch.
Matis

**Matis** was a human Starfleet officer in the 23rd century and the chief engineer of the USS Hamilton (NCC-1765).

In 2265, Matis abandoned ship along with the rest the crew when a tachyon based weapons test went wrong and propelled the ship forward in time to the year 2339.

## Current Status

Presumably, Matis continued his life in the 23rd century following the loss of the *Hamilton* and either retired or passed away some time prior to 2339.
Ivex II

**Ivex II** was the second planet in the Ivex system, a solar system in unclaimed space between Klingon and Federation space. In 2339, the Klingons established a small mining operation on the surface of the planet at approximately the same time as a similar Federation mining operation on Ivex III.

## Current Status

Following the events of Incident at Ivex, the Klingon mine remains in operation, while the lifeforms discovered by the *Tempest* crew have been relocated to Ivex III.
USS Fuji (NCC-18089)

The **USS Fuji (NCC-18089)** was a Federation Everest-class cutter in service in the mid-24th century. It was assigned to the USS Tempest (NCC-10535) following the destruction of the USS Manaslu (NCC-17679).

The *Fuji* was named for the Mount Fuji volcanic peak, located on the island of Honshu on Earth.
USS Tizona (NCC-26156)

The **USS Tizona (NCC-26156)** was an Ambassador-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century. In mid-2339, it was assigned to patrol the border with the Cardassian Union but by stardate 16508.2, it was still en route to its patrol station.

The *Tizona* was commanded by Rigelian Jemer Prikor, who was one of several Rigelian starship captains Starfleet had been training in anticipation of the Gorn diplomatic challenge, though the Gorn ultimately required non-Rigelian starship captain Rye-jae Maddox as the Federation representative. But as a result, the *Tizona* was stationed near Gorn space in the latter end of 2339.
Boats Against the Current (mission)

Dr. Richard Galen, one of the Federation's most distinguished archeologists, wants to conduct a survey of a pair of planets inside the Klingon Empire. However, relations with the Klingons are strained and they're only willing to offer a limited window of time to conduct the survey - not enough to survey and travel between both planets. The Tempest must work in conjunction with another starship and its captain to conduct Dr. Galen's research and make a discovery that could change the face of the galaxy.
USS Dublin (NCC-1934)

The **USS Dublin (NCC-1934)** was a *Boliver*-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.

In 2303, it was commanded by the Vulcan captain T'pria during the first premeditated series of ritual contests held between a Federation and Gorn captain to determine the ongoing status of Federation/Gorn diplomatic relations.

The *Dublin* was named for the city that served as the capital of the Irish Republic in Earth's European region. The *Bolivar*-class, as well as the *Dublin* and its registry all come from the fan site Ex Astris Scientia and are original fan designs by Bernd Schneider.
Difficulty

**Difficulty** is a measure of how many Successes are required to accomplish a specific Task. Every task will have an accompanying Difficulty Level between 0 and 5. Difficulty 0 tasks are considered optional and anything above Difficulty 5 is considered impossible.

Difficulty levels may be adjusted up or down depending on circumstances and particulars surrounding the task.
Weaver the Spider

## Weaver the Spider, Mother of Arachnids, first born of Gothica the Red-Tip Monstrosity

### Background:

Weaver the spider, or more commonly referred to by the shorter title, Weaver. Is a spider like creature born from the depths of the Dungeon Master's mind. He was meant as one of the three creatures to be born out of the banishment and a personal favourite. Infused with the ability to shape-shift, plane travel but with the sadistic interest in the revolting that came from the infusion that Micheal had with him.

### Origin:

   From the hatching of the egg, to the full growth the funnel-web spider, Weaver has always contained a special bond with Micheal. One of which would continue with his death and rebirth as Kingsley. Weaver was always one of Micheal's most prized possessions and undoubtedly his only true familiar and as Micheal used the sword to control Dammurin, Micheal only infused himself more with his eight legged friend. Sending weaver all the way to the outer realms. This only improved her already huge stature doubling her size and infusing her with the planes outside. She now roams freely when Dammurin arrives and works with her master to bring about the end of Europa.
Arietan

**Arietans** were a species of humanoids from the planet Arietes IV, a planet inducted into the United Federation of Planets in 2335.

Arietans feature elongated faces with prominent skull extensions that, on some members of the species, resemble the antlers of the Cervidae family of Earth animals. This, combined with a short and coarse fur skin covering for some, gives them a vaguely deer like appearance to humans.

Having evolved from a herd centric prey-species, Arietans are generally prone to avoiding conflict and have an intense commitment to family security. As a result, few Arietans leave their homeworld, though a few do, usually with the general goal of proactively advancing their species' security before threats can reach their homeworld.

## People

* Rijhar'd Douh, Chief Conn Officer aboard the USS Tempest (NCC-10535)
IRW Keras

The **IRW Keras** was a Romulan warbird involved in recovering the remains of a stolen torpedo prototype in 2339.

During the attempt to return to Romulan space, radiation from the torpedo prototype killed the crew of the *Keras'* sistership, the *IRW Kimara*, stranding it in Federation space near the Paulson Nebula. When it became clear both the *Kimara* and the prototype torpedo were unrecoverable, the *Keras* destroyed the *Kimara* before returning to Romulan space on its own.

The *Keras* was named for a Romulan commander that dueled against the starship *USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)* in 2266 as part of an unsuccessful prelude to invasion. (Memory-Beta)
Anti-Matter Field Projector

The **Anti-Matter Field Projector** was an experimental weapon designed and employed by the Klingon Empire on their *Accuser*-class dreadnoughts. The AMFP operated by drawing antimatter directly from the ship's reactor and projecting it along a modified tractor beam.

Though the weapon was extremely effective, the energy draw it required was exceptional, adding to the already energy intensive requirements of the *Accuser*-class and making it inefficient to deploy.

Ultimately, with the destruction of Praxis, the AMFP and the *Accuser*-class became too expensive to deploy and the ships were mothballed. Due to the power requirements, it was not practical to equip the AMFP on smaller ships, and the weapon never saw use beyond the *Accuser*-class and a few planetary defense installations.

## Gameplay

* The AMFP is a Beam weapon.
* 12 points of Challenge Dice damage.
* It's optimal range is Medium.
* It carries the Vicious 1 effect.
* When fired, the weapon draws two points of Power instead of the usual one.
* Attacking a target outside the weapon's optimal range is +2 Difficulty instead of the usual +1.

## Background

The AMFP and the *Accuser*-class both come from the video game Star Trek: Klingon Academy.
Alison Lewis

**Alison Lewis** was a human Starfleet officer serving as the Executive Officer aboard the USS Ellesmere (NCC-21464) in 2339. She assumed command after the *Ellesmere's* captain, Laura Blake, was killed when the ship was attacked by a Romulan warbird.

As the officer on duty when the Ellesmere crossed into the Neutral Zone, she initially blamed herself for the incident, but felt more ready to take command after the incident was revealed to be sabotage by a Romulan agent aboard.

## Current Status

Lewis is currently in provisional command of the *Ellesmere* while the ship undergoes repairs to damage suffered during the attack in the Neutral Zone. She expects to be given permanent command once repairs are completed and the *Ellesmere* returns to active duty.
Mackley Family

The **Mackley family** was a family of human colonists residing outside of Morgan's Hope on the planet Carina VII, consisting of husband/father Wes, wife/mother Aurelia, and son Efren. In 2339, the Mackley's were afflicted by the same temporal phenomenon that affected the rest of the planet and its population. Efren in particular was noticeably affected, having progressed to a physical age of two years old while mentally only being two months old.

Following their examination by an away team from the USS Tempest (NCC-10535), the Mackleys were beamed aboard the Tempest and placed in quarantine for study until a solution to the anomalies could be found. Once the source of the anomalies was discovered and neutralized, the Mackleys were returned to the colony before the Tempest departed the system...probably. (1.1: Entropy's Demise)
Saucer Separation

# Flavor

The ship is designed so that the saucer section can be separated from the engineering section, to operate as two distinct ships.

# Mechanics

Each section has the same Systems, Departments, Talents, and weapons, but their Scale is one lower than the whole ship (recalculate anything derived from Scale), and each section only has half the Power (round down) that the ship had before separation. Further, if the ship has suffered any damage, ongoing effects of that damage apply equally to both sections. The saucer section, which contains the crew quarters and recreational areas, does not have the capacity to go to warp. Separating is a Control + Conn Task with a Difficulty of 3, assisted by the ship’s Structure + Engineering, performed from the internal systems position or main engineering.

Separation cannot be done if the Structure of either ship has been Damaged or Disabled.

# Special Rules

For an Ambassador-class ship, the two sections cannot be rejoined outside of a starbase repair facility. Separating the two sections effectively ends the mission the players are currently engaged in.

 Ships With This Talent

* USS Tempest (NCC-10535)
Boq

Boq was a Klingon charged with setting up and overseeing a mining operation on the planet Ivex II.

Knowing the Federation had already sunk considerable time and resources into their own mining operation on the neighboring planet of Ivex III, Boq was prepared for the possibility of a tense diplomatic stand off with Federation and Starfleet forces. He was given firm orders by the Klingon High Council to stand firm in any diplomatic confrontation, but to avoid an escalation into armed conflict if at all possible.

 Gameplay
USS Petrov (NCC-28341)

The **USS Petrov (NCC-28341)** was a Hokule'a-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century. In 2340, it was assigned to deep space exploration.

It was named for Stanislav Petrov, a Soviet missile officer who potentially averted a nuclear war in 1983 when he determined that a warning of an incoming American nuclear attack was in fact a system malfunction and therefore a false alarm.

## Auxiliary Craft

Everest-class Cutter

* USS Etna (NCC-19087)

Type-5 Shuttlecraft

* Yang Liwei (NCC-28341/1)

Type-14 Shuttlepod

* Dalton (NCC-28341/2)
* Wegener (NCC-28341/3)

Work Bees

* 28341-α
* 28341-β
IKS Tong Vey

The **IKS Tong Vey** was a B'rel-class bird of prey operated by the Klingon Empire's Defense Force. In 2339, it was assigned to guard the recently established dilithium mining operation on Ivex II, under the command of Captain Klotha.

When the Federation starship USS Tempest (NCC-10535) arrived in the system to smooth tensions between adjacent Federation and Klingon dilithium mining operations, Klotha aboard the *Tong Vey* insulted the *Tempest* crew in an attempt to bait them into combat. The *Tempest* resisted the bait and the *Tong Vey* did not end up engaging the *Tempest* or any other vessel during its time guarding the Klingon Ivex facility. (1.4: Incident at Ivex)

## Current Status

Following the standing down of the neighboring Federation mining facility, the *Tong Vey* and Klotha were reassigned to other duties elsewhere in the Klingon Empire.

## Background Information

The *Tong Vey* was named for the site of an historic battle in Klingon history, referenced by Worf in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Rules of Engagement".
Syreeta Sebastian

**Syreeta Sebastian** was a female human and the governor of the Carina VII colony. In 2339, Sebastian guided an away team from the USS Tempest (NCC-10535) during their investigation of temporal anomalies that had adversely affected the colony.

## Gameplay

### Attacks

* Unarmed Strike (Melee, 2口, Knockdown, Size 1H, Non-lethal)
* Phaser Type-1 (Ranged, 3口, Vicious 1, Size 1H)

## Special Rules

* Reduces the difficulty of all tasks involving viticulture by 1.
* Reduces the difficulty of all tasks involving negotiating with her fellow colonists by 1.
USS Bantu Wind (NCC-5456)

The **USS Bantu Wind (NCC-5456)** was a *Miranda*-class starship operated by Starfleet in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries. The *Bantu Wind* was commanded by Captain Simon Katanga. Rye-jae Maddox served as the *Bantu Wind*'s executive officer from 2325-2333 before being promoted to captain of the USS Chalice (NCC-7736).

## Background Information

The names of the ship and its captain, Simon Katanga, are references to the film *Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark*. The Bantu Wind, captained by Simon Katanga, is the ship Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood use to transport the Ark of the Covenant out of Egypt.
Focus

A **Focus** is an element of character's playing stats the denotes a specific area of expertise that character is skilled or knowledgable in. Focuses can be related to any aspect of a character's experience, from a hobby, to a sub-discipline of one of their areas of expertise.

## Gameplay

In gameplay, a Focus can be invoked when the Task the character is attempting is somehow related to the focus. For example, if a character has a focus in Botany, and the task is scanning an alien plant, the player could invoke the Focus when attempting that task.

When a Focus is invoked, it doubles any Successes rolled. If one Success is rolled, the Focus doubles that to 2, 2 becomes 4, and so on.
Redundant Systems

# Flavor

The ship has multiple additional redundancies that allow it to withstand severe damage more easily. Nominate a single System.

# Mechanics

When that system becomes Damaged or Disabled, the crew may choose to activate the backups as a Minor Action; if the System was Damaged, it is no longer Damaged. If it was Disabled, it becomes Damaged instead. A System’s backups may only be activated once per adventure, so subsequent damage will have the normal effect.

 Ships With This Talent

* USS Tempest (NCC-10535)
USS Stalwart (NCC-2565)

The **USS Stalwart (NCC-2565)** was an *Excelsior*-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

In 2321, it was commanded by Andorian captain Ch'vhasreth when he was selected by the Gorn Hegemony to represent the Federation in the second of a series of ritual contests used by the Gorn to determine the nature of Federation/Gorn diplomatic relations.

The *Stalwart* was named for a number of seagoing vessels from various Earth navies, most predominantly those of the United Kingdom nation state.
Jean-Luc Picard

**Jean-Luc Picard** was a human male Starfleet officer and commanding officer of the USS Stargazer (NCC-2893).

In 2339, Picard and the *Stargazer* served as a diversion for the USS Tempest (NCC-10535)'s expedition to the planet Athrak V in Klingon space, at the request of his former professor and mentor, Dr. Richard Galen. To buy Galen's expedition more time, Picard took the *Stargazer* to the planet Dara III, elsewhere in the Kareth Sector.
Tellek

**Tellek** was the alias for a Romulan spy and agent of the Tal Shiar who posed as a Vulcan Starfleet operations officer aboard the USS Ellesmere (NCC-21464) in the mid-24th century. In 2339, he sabotaged the *Ellesmere's* navigational array, causing it to cross into the Romulan Neutral Zone, where it was fired upon and disabled by a Romulan warbird.

This sabotage was part of a plan to steal Starfleet sensor and deployment data and return it to the Romulan Star Empire. However, the *Ellesmere* captain, Laura Blake, was able to encrypt the computer before Tellek could recover the data, though Tellek killed her in a confrontation shortly afterward. Tellek attempted to maintain his cover long enough to decrypt the computer data and attempt escape, but the escape was foiled by the crew of the USS Tempest (NCC-10535), which had responded to the *Ellesmere's* distress call and discovered the sabotage in the course of rendering assistance.

The *Tempest* was ultimately able to apprehend Tellek after he acquired the sensor data but before he could return to Romulan forces.

## Current Status

Following the *Ellesmere's* safe return to Federation space, Tellek was handed over to Starfleet Security, where he continues to be detained and interrogated.
USS El Capitan (NCC-17691)

The **USS El Capitan (NCC-17691)** was an Everest-class cutter operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century. In 2340, it was assigned as an auxiliary craft to the Ambassador-class USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C).

The *El Capitan* was named for a prominent granite formation in Earth's Yosemite Valley region.
Mojave-class

The **Mojave-class** cutter was a type of auxiliary craft designed and operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century. It was designed to supplant the Everest-class cutter.

In 2340, the USS Tempest (NCC-10535) conducted certification trials for the class using the two prototype vessels, the USS Mojave (NX-30006) and the USS Kalahari (NX-30007).

## Known Vessels

* USS Mojave (NX-30006)
* USS Kalahari (NX-30007)
USS Orizaba (NCC-17685)

The **USS Orizaba (NCC-17685)** was one of three Everest-class cutters assigned to the Ivex III mining operation in 2339. It was named for Pico de Orizaba, a stratovolcano and the highest mountain in Mexico on Earth.

Following the decommissioning of the Ivex III operation, the *Orizaba* and the other two cutters were reassigned to other facilities.
Accuser-class

The ***Accuser*-class** dreadnought was originally designed and put into service by the Klingon Empire in the late 23rd century. But because of their intimidating size and formidable firepower, they were extremely expensive both to build and operate. Only a handful were actually completed when the Praxis Incident occurred, devastating the Empire's ability to field an interstellar fleet. As a result, only a few ever actually entered service, all of which were mothballed in the aftermath of Praxis.

The *Accuser*-class features a unique experimental beam weapon dubbed the Anti-Matter Field Projector. The AMFP drew antimatter directly from the ship's reactor and projected it along a modified tractor beam, creating a powerful energy weapon. While a very effective weapon, the AMFP's energy requirements were extreme, adding to the ship's already expensive operating costs and proving too taxing a weapon to deploy on smaller ships.

Starfleet Intelligence has only been able to confirm the existence of six distinct *Accuser*-class space frames between 2293 and 2340, one of which is confirmed destroyed and with none having been encountered by Federation forces. By 2340, Starfleet Intelligence has high confidence that the five remaining space frames account for most if not all of the existing ships of the class, but has low confidence about their status or whereabouts.
Hanolan

**Hanolan** was a Federation colony world located near the Federation's border with the Cardassian Union. As of mid-2339, it had only been recently established and was still sparsely populated. Both Hanolan's local government and general population were sympathetic to the Bajoran plight and as a result, the colony was a frequent destination for Bajorans fleeing from the Cardassian Occupation. The people and government of Hanolan often helped refugees reach safer destinations further in the Federation and gain permanent asylum status.
An Axiom in Morals (mission)

An otherwise enlightened planet wants to apply for Federation membership, but still has a form of institutional slavery that would be difficult to excise from its society. The Tempest is dispatched to determine what options, if any, are available to move past this dilemma and allow the planet to become a member while maintaining the Federation's commitment to equal rights.
Star Trek: Tempest Wiki

## Welcome to Star Trek: Tempest

Welcome to the wiki for Star Trek: Tempest, a roleplaying game podcast based in the Star Trek universe and which uses the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying system, designed and published by Modiphius. The podcast is centered around the command crew of the Ambassador-class USS Tempest (NCC-10535), sister ship to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C), and their never before explored missions and adventures.

This wiki is designed to serve as both a repository of lore specific to Star Trek: Tempest, as well as an aid for gameplay and mechanic information.

## These Are the Voyages...

Star Trek: Tempest is set in the year 2339, 25 years before the launch of the USS Enterprise-D and the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. For every event occurring before the time when this game is set, Tempest attempts to adhere as closely to established on-screen canon as possible, and even the beta canon of licensed Star Trek works. However, since this is a roleplaying game in which player decisions affect the outcome, actions taken by the players in the course of various missions may alter the course of events depicted after this time period. In other words, our players may dramatically alter the future history of Star Trek as we know it.

## Seasons, Missions, and Episodes

Seasons are defined as ten missions, each of which are recorded in single sessions and then edited into approximately three podcast episodes generally between 45 minutes and 1 hour in length. Each season covers one Earth year of in universe elapsed time, with Season 1 taking place in the year 2339.

Klotha

Klotha was a Klingon Bird of Prey captain. In 2339, he commanded the B'rel-class IKS Tong Vey, which was assigned to guard the Ivex II dilithium mining operation.

Klotha was the younger son of the prominent House D'Ghor. After acquitting himself well in a personal honor duel, he was given command of the *Tong Vey*. However, he remained untested in true combat, something which he strongly wished to change during his assignment protecting the Ivex II mining operation.

 Gameplay
Excelsior Transwarp Project

The **Excelsior Transwarp Project** was an attempt by the Federation Starfleet to develop a new form of propulsion. The project was the brainchild of Dr. Carter Thorndyke, an engineer and theoretical physicist with the Daystrom Institute.

In 2269, Thorndyke convinced Starfleet Command to support his project and to even take the extraordinary step of designing an entirely new class of starship expressly for the project. Two spaceframes were ordered at the project's outset, including the frame that would go on to be commissioned as the USS Excelsior (NCC-2000), and Lawrence Styles was promoted to captain and assigned to oversee the project.

Almost immediately, the project began to run into significant delays and setbacks. Early tests of drive prototypes were marred by failures and accidents, including the loss of the spaceframe NX-2001. Progress was further hampered by a difficult working relationship between Thorndyke and Styles, whose personalities clashed and caused a great deal of friction between the project's civilian and Starfleet elements. In total, it would be ten years before the *Excelsior* prototype would take form as an actual starship and another five before the ship would begin integrated system tests. (WOG)

In 2285, the ship was preparing to undergo final drive tests when Admiral James T. Kirk and the former command crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) (including Hikaru Sulu, future captain of the *Excelsior*) stole the *Enterprise* from Earth Spacedock. The *Excelsior* was ordered to pursue and prepared to use its transwarp drive in an operational capacity for the first time. But upon engaging the drive, the ship suffered a total systems failure, stranding it mere kilometers from Spacedock, and allowing the *Enterprise* and its fugitive crew to escape. (*Star Trek III: The Search for Spock*)

After years of delays, this embarrassing failure proved to be the final straw for Starfleet Command and it immediately cancelled the ETP and had the *Excelsior* towed back to Spacedock to be refitted with conventional warp drive. It also reassigned Captain Lawrence Styles and placed newly promoted Captain Hikaru Sulu in command (following a trial and acquittal for his role in the theft of the *Enterprise*). Sulu supervised the winding down of the ETP and the refit of the *Excelsior* with conventional warp drive. In 2289 and with Sulu in command, the *Excelsior* underwent a shakedown cruise with a conventional warp drive and finally entered operational service in 2290, a full 20 years following the official start of the project. (*Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country*)
IRW Belorex

The ***IRW Belorex*** was a *Ha'feh*-class Romulan warbird in service during the mid-24th century. In 2339, it was commanded by Commander Merrok and attempted to recover a prototype tachyon weapon on a derelict Federation starship in the Carina system, though ultimately the attempt was unsuccessful.
USS Erebus (NCC-18043)

The **USS Erebus (NCC-18043)** was an *Everest-*class cutter operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century. It was assigned as an auxiliary craft to Starbase Conrad in early 2342.

The *Erebus* was named for a volcanic peak on Earth's Antarctic continent and the planet's southernmost active volcano.
IKS Krell

The **IKS Krell** was a B'rel-class bird-of-prey operated by the Klingon Defense Force in the mid-24th century. In 2339, it participated in a failed attempt on behalf of the Romulan Star Empire to steal experimental torpedo technology during a demonstration by Angosian forces.

The *Krell* was named for a Klingon admiral in the 22nd century.
USS Uluru (NCC-17719)

The **USS Uluru (NCC-17719)** was one of three Everest-class cutters assigned to the Ivex III mining operation in 2339. It was named for the large sandstone structure in central Australia on Earth.

Following the decommissioning of the Ivex III operation, the *Uluru* and the other two cutters were reassigned to other facilities.
Cristoforetti (NCC-10535/4)

The ***Cristoforetti*** was a standard configuration Type-13 shuttlepod attached as a support craft to the Ambassador-class USS Tempest (NCC-10535).

In 2339, an away team from the *Tempest* used the *Cristoforetti* to travel over to the abandoned USS Hamilton (NCC-1765), since the tachyon radiation emanating from the abandoned ship made transporting over impossible. (1.1: Entropy's Demise)

On staradate 16088.3, the crew of the *Tempest* loaded the remains of a stolen Romulan torpedo prototype onto the *Cristoforetti* and remote piloted it into space before destroying it, thus preventing the prototype from falling into Romulan hands. (1.2: That Which Is Unknown)

The *Cristoforetti* was named for Samantha Cristoforetti, a human astronaut from Earth's European region and who at one time held multiple records for long duration spaceflight. She was also notable for being the first Italian woman in space, the first person to make a popular cultural beverage in space, and for wearing the costume of one of the time period's more popular television programs while in space.
Ganar Toran

Ganar Toran was a male Angosian scientist and researcher. In early 2339, he held the rank of Prime Hadar in the Angosian military and was responsible for developing new weapons programs for use in the Tarsian Conflict.

Also in 2339, he claimed to have developed a new kind of torpedo technology, but had in fact stolen this technology from the Romulan Star Empire. The Angosian government, unaware of the technology's true origins, invited the Federation Starfleet to witness a demonstration of the new torpedo, hoping to use it to make a favorable impression in the course of applying for membership to the United Federation of Planets.

Before the test detonation could be triggered, the prototype was stolen by Klingon and then Romulan forces. Toran, on board the observing Federation starship at the time, was confined in the ship's brig and confessed to his crime. He requested asylum within the Federation, but his application was ultimately denied. He was extradited back to Angosia.

*In an alternate timeline, Toran's subterfuge was not uncovered and following the theft of the new torpedo technology, he went on to develop the Angosian super soldier program. This program saw the creation of biologically enhanced soldiers that would later fight in the Tarsian Conflict. Following the conclusion of that conflict, those enhanced soldiers, including Roga Danar, would be imprisoned on the Angosian moon Luna V, until their plight was uncovered by the starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) in 2366. (TNG: The Hunted)*

## Current Status

After his extradition back to Angosia, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 20 years in prison, where he remains.
Tomed Incident

The Tomed Incident was a confrontation between the Romulan Star Empire and the United Federation of Planets that occurred in 2311 and cost thousands of lives. It led to the signing of the Treaty of Algernon between the two powers and the withdrawal of the Romulan government from interstellar affairs.

H'thea Chax, a Bolian, was among the Federation casualties from the Tomed Incident.

USS Stargazer (NCC-2893)

The **USS Stargazer (NCC-2893)** was a *Constellation*-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

In 2339, the *Stargazer* was commanded by Jean Luc Picard and participated in a mission to conduct an archeological expedition in Klingon space. While the USS Tempest (NCC-10535) assisted Doctor Richard Galen in investigating a site on Athrak V, the *Stargazer* proceeded to another planet in Klingon space to serve as a diversion and to buy Galen and the *Tempest* more time to conduct their investigation.
Lawrence Styles

**Lawrence Styles** was a human Starfleet officer in the 23rd century. In 2270, Styles was promoted to captain and placed in command of the Excelsior Transwarp Project, overseeing a combined team of civilian and Starfleet engineers and scientists in their development of a revolutionary new propulsion technology.

Styles' tenure as commander of the ETP was troubled, frequently clashing with the civilian head and initial proponent of the project, Dr. Carter Thorndyke. The project encountered repeated delays and setbacks, which Styles and Thorndyke frequently blamed on each other.

By 2285, the project had produced an actual starship prototype, USS Excelsior (NX-2000). Styles was appointed as commanding officer for the duration of the ship's systems tests, with the expectation that he would become the ship's permanent commander when it entered operational service.

But later that year, Admiral James T. Kirk and other former crewmembers of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) commandeered their former starship from Earth Spacedock. Styles pursued with the *Excelsior*, intending to use the ship's new drive system in an operational capacity for the first time. But when the ship attempted to engage the transwarp drive, it suffered a complete systems failure, stranding it mere kilometers from Spacedock.

Following the *Excelsior's* total systems failure, Starfleet Command pulled all further support from the ETP and ordered the ship to be refitted with a conventional warp drive system. Styles was transferred to Starfleet Command, where he served as an adjutant before retiring a few years later.
Success

A **success** in the context of Star Trek Adventures game mechanics refers to the number of successful dice rolls required to complete a Task. A task will always relate to a combination of one of a character's Attributes and Disciplines. The two values are added together and a success will be any dice roll result under that number.

## Critical Success

If a dice roll results in a 1, that is considered a Critical Success, which counts as two Successes.

## Focuses

If the character has an applicable focus to the task, they can invoke a Focus before they attempt it. If a Focus applies, any Success rolled counts as two successes, effectively doubling the number of successes compared to an attempt without an invoked Focus.
Pyrouse

Pyrouse is a Starter Pokemon of the Silla Region. Alongside Taecoon and Aquaby, it is given away by Professor Ginko to new Trainers.

Pyrouse evolves into Mousire starting at level 18, and Mousire evolves into Pyrat starting at level 36.

## Biology

### Physical Description

Mousire is an orange-colored, bipedal mouse Pokemon. It has a circle on its belly that is yellow, and red cheek pouches similar, in appearance, to that of an Electric rodent. Pyrouse have long tails that start off thick and turn thinner at the end. At the end of its tail, there is a flame protected by a glass ball.

### Cheek Pouches

Pyrouse have cheek pouches that are similar in appearance to the cheek pouches you might see on an Electric rodent. Pyrouse's cheek pouches are believed to be the source of it's magical powers, but not much about them is known at the moment.

### Glass Ball

The glass ball at the end of a Pyrouse's tail are very strong. They are comparable to the winshield on a car. If the glass ball breaks, the Pokemon is unable to repair it, so it shall remain broken for the remainder of its life, even after it evolves. Should this happen, the Pokemon needs to take extreme care to keep the flame on its tail safe, as this flame is believed to be the Pokemon's life source.

## Diet

Pyrouse have a primarily herbivorous diet. They mostly eat grains and fruits.

## Habitat

Pyrouse are commonly found in grasslands and meadows.

## Care

Pyrouse are quite shy, so they require a patient Trainer. A Pyrouse is easily influenced by its Trainer's action and how the Trainer treats it. A patient, encouraging Trainer can easily help a Pyrouse evolve into a positive and confident Pokemon. An impatient, strict Trainer might prevent Pyrouse from ever evolving.

## Location

Pyrouse are shy, and they try to stay out of sight of humans, so finding them in the wild can be a challenge.

* Silla Region
	+ Bitnanju
		- Given away by the professor as a Starter Pokemon.

## Data

### iDex Entry

Pyrouse, the Charm Pokemon. Pyrouse are known for their magical abilities. It is believed that, if a wild Pyrouse happens to visit your home, it will bring good luck. Because of that, the Pokemon is highly valued as a starter, and many Trainers choose them, hoping that they will help them achieve their goals.

### Chrome Dex Entry

Pyrouse is the Charm Pokemon. The glass ball around Pyrouse's tail flame is difficult to break, but, if it does, the Pokemon must take care to not let it's tail flame go out.
