Conflick in the Neutral Zone Is a Finger-Flicking Game in Which You Collect Captain’s log, stardate 42314.1. We have accidentally stumbled upon planets rich in dilithium crystals in the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone. Starfl eet has dispatched additional vessels to assist in searching and mining these vast resources. However, it seems the Klingon Empire has made the same discovery and plan to do much the same. We must work quickly to get a foothold here before they can. Whichever of us gathers these resources the fastest will be able to exert control over the Neutral Zone, but confl ict seems inevitable, so we must do what we can to secure the future of the Federation. WE’VE BEEN PATROLLING THE BORDER OF THE FEDERATION-KLINGON NEUTRAL ZONE FOR WEEKS IN SEARCH OF A LOST WARBIRD AND ITS CREW. OUR SENSORS DETECTED A FEDERATION SHIP IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE, SURELY, THEY MUST BE SPYING ON US IN PREPARATION FOR A BATTLE! NO, WAIT, THIS IS NOT LIKE THE FEDERATION, WHAT COULD THEY BE AFTER? THEY MUST HAVE FOUND SOMETHING THEY WANT IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE. WELL, WHATEVER THEY WANT, WE WANT IT MORE! ENGAGE THE CLOAKING DEVICE! TODAY WE FIND OUT WHAT THE FEDERATION IS HERE FOR AND RIP IT OUT OF THEIR HANDS! TODAY WE FIGHT FOR THE GLORY OF KAHLESS AND THE KLINGON EMPIRE! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE! Confl ick in the Neutral Zone is a fi nger-fl icking game in which you collect energy resources to buy more ships and acquire Command Points (by collection or attacking) in order to win the game.

  • Project 2001: the Music of the Spheres
    THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES ME 201/MTH 281 PROJECT 2001 ME201/MTH281 STARDATE 9863.4 PAGE 2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT In this project, you are on a training exercise for Starfleet Cadets. You are aboard the USS Enterprise, which is in the Glia starsystem orbiting the planet Glia-6. This is the first return of the Enterprise to Glia-6 since Captain Kirk’s near-fatal encounter with a glion there on Stardate 8378.2. The training exercise will include a visit to the surface of Glia-6, as part of an ongoing research effort to determine the origins of the abandoned colony there. By an unlikely turn of events, you are presented with the opportunity to unlock the secrets of this lost culture, provided you can solve a certain problem in acoustics. The details of all this are given below. PRACTICAL MATTERS You may work alone, or in groups of two. You may discuss the project freely with others. If you get significant help from someone else, that fact should appear as an acknowledgment or reference in your report. Any books or articles that you use also should be referenced. Your report should be brief but self-contained, so that a reader not having access to these directions will know what you have done. A typical report organization might be something like the following: Introduction (with a general description of the problem); Formulation (the detailed quantitative formulation of the problem); Results (results of the calculations, including any graphs or tables necessary to make the results clear); Summary (a summary of your conclusions); References (books, articles or people consulted).

DESCRIPTORS English Instruction; Higher Education; Instructional Innovation; *Mass Media Role; Mathematics Instruction; *Popular Culture; Science Instruction; Secondary Education; Time IDENTIFIERS Deep Space 9; *Star Trek; Star Trek the Next Generation; Story Concepts ABSTRACT A teacher of reading across the curriculum uses stories, many based on the television show "Star Trek"or its derivatives "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (STNG) and "Deep Space 9," to illustrate educational theories and practice,. Theteacher began a discussion of the nature of language, meaning and the significance of literacy by discussing an episode of STNG entitled "Darmok" in which an alien race spoke only in metaphor. Humor is present in many episodes of "Star Trek," as wellas concepts like the power of fear. Cultural differences are explored in a number of episodes of STNG. The teacher uses "Star Trek"as an introduction to a lesson and as an impetus for story writing. One of the most enduring qualities of the three series is their focuson problem solving, which can serve as demonstrations for students. The series are also used for teaching the technique of role playing. Episodes of STNG and of "Deep Space 9" can be used to teach contentareas such as English, mathematics, history, physics, chemistry, and biology: "Clues" involves an examination ofspace and time; "Drumhead" involves a Joe McCarthy-like investigator; "Cause and Effect" involves a time loop; "Time's Arrow," involving backward timetravel and Mark Twain; "Emissary" deals with guilt, responsibility,and explaining the nature of time to an immortal-ace; and "The Forsaken" which involves a "shape-shifting" character.

    STAR TREK - SCOUT / DESTROYER If printed 17 inches tall (from black-outlined edge to black-outlined edge) the scale of these drawings is 1/350. LAYOUT: DECK 14, SYMBOLS, etc. PAGE 12 of 12 0 5 10 15 20 COPYRIGHT 2020 - PARAMOUNT DRAWN BY: Jim Botaitis METERS ABBREVIATIONS NOTES POWER CONDUIT DECK 14 DORSAL The Matter-Antimatter Reaction Chamber is located here. The access hatch on Deck 13 is usually closed. This entire level is heavily shielded. UP DECK 14: MATTER-ANTIMATTER REACTION CHAMBER DENTIST'S OFFICE GENERAL NOTES (continued from previous page) The red rectangle on the engine nacelle could be an access hatch, or an "Emergency Jettison" hatch. Dialogue in various episodes of STAR TREK corroborates the idea of disengaging, discarding, or jettisoning the warp engine nacelles. Dialogue also mentions ejecting the antimatter pod. The idea of a "Warp Core" came along much later, when the ENTERPRISE was refit for the movies. Will Decker told Kirk, "This is an almost totally new ENTERPRISE." The idea of "ejecting a Warp Core" was introduced in STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION. These drawings make no attempt to "retcon" such concepts. The huge pipes / conduits (visible through the grille behind Engineering) was a set built with forced perspective to suggest immense size and power. The angle on the conduits suggests they continue up the pylons of the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE. Regarding the antimatter: CASE 1. Collect matter in the engine nacelle, send the matter to Engineering, mix it (in the habitable section of the ship) with antimatter (stored in the habitable section of the ship!), pass the energy through the Dilithium Crystals, then send the energy up to the engine nacelles to create the warp field.

  • The Engineer —In Memory of James Doohan
    The Engineer —In Memory of James Doohan I. Between the dust clouds calving sun to night, behind the blazing battlements of old auroral habiliments, dead supernova’s light, surrounded by these gases growing gold, we wander. From cloud to cloud of matter clutter, where holy cauldrons spin, sputter, where chaos reigns and, under thunder, worlds congeal beneath the peal of heaven plunder— meteorites, lightning strikes—from whole herds of icy shards shepherded by stellar sway to planets, less than paradise, where crust gives way to crack, crater, ponds of stagnant wonder we trek. Energy, synergy, blind erection. This manic, inorganic, immaculate conception. 15 II. This. Manic, organic, immaculate, our conception, our long lust for cause, this need, perhaps greed, for eternal laws sends us, spores, Earth’s whores, ejaculate, back to the abyss, the whence we commenced, back to tomb, womb, cosmic amniotic sac. Here, death’s foes (little Prosperos, Poe’s), dance the dance of red to black. Like orphans we lack, hunger for first embrace, to retrace the race. In all we do, we echo the urge to crave some sun, what fills—from crater to pond to cave, from Plato to Pluto, Dido to Odo—space. The dark is more than only, lonely, full of fear. It’s made us seek, as Stevens said, an Engineer. 16 III. In seeking, as Stevens said, an Engineer— whether Sunday morning, porch turned church, looking back on pagan feast, that need to lurch forward, past winter, past night where night’s veneer suggests nothing more than nothing beneath, no prop, no crop, only the end, with teeth— in search of another sun to unswallow the old, to end anxiety, absence, an eternity of cold, in hope the babe would come, steal back his scythe, provide solution through ablution, at last arrive.

  • Music of the Spheres
    MUSIC OF THE SPHERES A Star Trek Novel by Margaret Wander Bonanno Historian’s Note: The events of this novel begin immediately following the final frame of The Voyage Home. One might imagine James T. Kirk, having instructed Sulu to “see what she’s got,” settling back in his chair and musing upon the almost-fate of Earth. Between the end of the Prelude and the beginning of the first Fugue, there is a hiatus of several weeks, perhaps only to allow sufficient time for news of the Praetor’s death to reach Starfleet and the Federal Council. “Do you still play chess, Kirk?” Sarek asked as if casually before removing himself from the scenario entirely. “Whenever I have the time, Ambassador,” Kirk replied, knowing Sarek would not waste words on trivia. “I suggest you will have much time on this mission,” Sarek said cryptically. “Be mindful always of the importance of the king...” # PRELUDE “And the waters prevailed without measure upon the earth...” In the center seat on the bridge of a spanking new starship designated NCC-1701A, Captain James T. Kirk watched the blue-and-white confection that was his home planet recede in the rear viewscreen. The waters, in fact, no longer prevailed. Cloud cover and planet-wide temperatures had returned to within normal parameters. Floodwaters had receded from all but the most low-lying regions. There were the isolated food and medical-supply shortages to keep off-planet transports working overtime, and people were still being advised to boil or irradiate their drinking water until groundwater could be certified pure but, on the whole, Earth had been lucky this time.

    ® STAR TREK EXPEDITIONS 6/2011 REV A Rules Clarifications Stardate Deck Ø Needs to be reshuffled when exhausted and reused Energize Deck Ø CANNOT BE RESHUFFLED WHEN USED UP Hint: conserve your Energize cards for when you need them most Rules Reinforcements/Questions Situation: Captain’s Log Supplemental: The President’s Wife/Rebel Spy/Dilithium Transport Vehicle Q: Must the original discoverer be the one who completes this challenge? A: As long as one player is present on this card, then no penalty is imposed. Situation: Captain’s Log: Presidential Palace [Klingon evidence]/Rebel Hideout [Klingon Decoder]/Temple of the Soul & The Artifacts [Artifacts]; Nibian Power Generator/Dilithium Processing Centre/Dilithium Mine [all Dilithium Samples]/Rebel Headquarters [Rebel Items] Q: Does the challenger themselves need to hold the items mentioned? A: Yes, but discovery tokens are freely exchangeable between characters if they are in the same location, so it is within the rules for the players to exchange (at no cost) to improve outcomes. Q: Are we supposed to play with all 4 characters? A: The game is designed to play with one to four characters. Q: Do I need to complete a Challenge before picking up a Discovery token? A: No, you can pick up a Discovery token irrespective of the status of a Challenge in the same area. Q: The shields on the EnterpriseTM are too weak! Is this a mistake? A: This was intended and illustrates the crew’s ability to respond to a superior enemy and still succeed. You can increase the EnterpriseTM shields by collecting the Discovery tokens that boost the shields as soon as you can, and keep drawing Energize cards to Boost Shields and Repair.

LAYOUT: SYMBOLS, etc. PAGE 16 of 16 0 5 10 15 20 COPYRIGHT 2020 - PARAMOUNT DRAWN BY: Jim Botaitis METERS GENERAL NOTES ABBREVIATIONS When Matt Jefferies designed the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE, he wanted a smooth hull. He reasoned that if anything needed to be accessed, it would be done so from inside the ship. But if red rectangles and yellow circles exist on the hull, they must be there for emergency situations, quick identification, or some aspect of ship's operations. Matt Jefferies understood that incredible energies would be required to propel a ship faster than light. If this is accomplished with antimatter, why store it in the habitable section of the ship? He and Gene Roddenberry both loved airplanes and understood the importance of isolating dangerous components, yet still making them accessible if required. Yes, Dilithium Crystals are stored in or near Engineering and help modify / channel the energy, but why does the antimatter need to be stored in or near Engineering? The idea of a Bussard Ramjet was developed in 1960. This label was applied to the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE engines retroactively, after the series ended. A Bussard Ramjet compresses matter for fusion. Therefore, the grey area on the engine nacelle could indicate where that matter is stored. However, on the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE the matter is mixed with antimatter. Therefore, the red rectangle on the engine nacelle could indicate where the antimatter is stored.
