The default setting for Star Trek Adventures is the year 2371 them as supernatural entities. In 1937, (Stardates 48000-48999), but this supplement brings the timeline a Delta Quadrant species known as the forward to the year 2379 (Stardates 56000-56999). The war with Briori abducted hundreds of people the Dominion has ended, the Romulans are beginning to talk from Earth, including Amelia Earhart, peace with the Federation, and the U.S.S. Voyager has returned and used them and their descendants from the Delta Quadrant, having dealt a decisive and crippling as a slave population. In 2031, the blow to the Borg Collective by introducing a neurolytic pathogen Ares IV spacecraft, a pre-warp Human that disrupted their hive mind, as well as destroying one of only ship used for early manned missions six transwarp hubs, cutting the Collective off from large portions to Mars, was lost with Commander of the Galaxy. John Kelly on board, as humanity’s first spatial anomaly, a subspace Though Federation exploration of the Delta Quadrant was an phenomenon known as a graviton ellipse, swept the craft accident of circumstances and did not commence until 2371, from the Alpha to the Delta Quadrant. games set during different Star Trek eras may still use the content contained in this sourcebook. The Delta Quadrant, despite its Games set in the Star Trek: Enterprise era are, normally, distance and its mystery, has sporadically interacted with the limited by the technology of the period. Ships are much other quadrants of the Galaxy, especially the Alpha and Beta slower, only capable of going to Warp 5, and much of Quadrants, and the worlds of the Federation and possibly also the the Beta Quadrant has yet to be explored.

The Sky Spirits, another species indigenous to orbit of Mars, to bring one of the pioneering ships of the the quadrant, interacted with tribes of Humans, who worshipped new Starfleet into the Delta Quadrant, but should take care to keep the feeling of vast distances and being far from help foremost in their minds: a ship capable of Warp 9.975 would take 75 years at maximum speeds to cross the expanse ARES IV MARTIAN COMMAND between Ocampa V and Earth. A ship capable of Warp 5 would take between 600 and 700 years to traverse the same distance.

By the time of the Original Series, Starfleet has lost contact with the probe launched in 2067: the Friendship 1 vessel, carrying language matrices, cultural artifacts like music and literature, sociopolitical history, and the foundations of warp technology. The probe’s technology, primarily antimatter, heavily influenced the culture of the pre-warp society native to the planet upon which it crashed, leaving the planet in nuclear winter. Gamemasters not wishing to transplant Alpha and Beta Quadrant ships and crew to the Delta Quadrant via anomalies or powerful intergalactic entities like the Nacene or the Q can still have a touch of home with the Humans who have taken over the Briori worlds on which their ancestors were formerly enslaved, or with the cultures enriched and affected by probes like SampleSCHEMATIC Friendship 1. file
