  • Triskelions, Some of Whom Still Refer to Their Dialect
    STAR TREK ROLEPLAYING GAME sharing the culture of Triskelion. And the Triskelion SPECIES PROFILE “Thralls” are one of the most widely diverse species in the known galaxy as a result of their auspicious origins. Nowhere else can one encounter a being who is part SPECIES NAME: TRISKELION Human, part Orion, and part Kazon. VISUAL REPRESENTATION CULTURE Prior to the involvement of Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise in the 23rd century, Triskelion was a culture of slavery, gambling, gladiatorial combat, and oppression as the Providers abducted people from their homeworlds, forced them into arena-combat, and wagered on, bought, and sold the winners and losers using a type of currency called quatloos. The Federation starship USS Enterprise under command of Captain James T. Kirk was obligated to visit the planet to secure the release of several crew kidnapped by the Providers. Upon arrival, the Enterprise discovered numerous species enslaved on the surface as thralls, including their missing crew. Eventually, to free the thralls, Kirk entered into open combat against three drill thralls, betting not quatloos on his victory, but the condition of freedom for all if he was victorious, or enslavement of the Enterprise crew if he lost. He won, and the Enterprise left the system shortly afterward. Shahna – an Orion-Human Triskelion Thrall Another condition of the wager was that the Providers would educate the remaining thralls and allow the SPECIES ADJUSTMENTS development of a free society on the planet. +2 Vitality, -1 Intellect, -1 Presence As a result, the Thralls did develop a very independent society. And yet the roots of how their culture began were PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION always held in a type of esteem.

Written by: Jon Van Pelt Edited by: Bart Vandezande Lieutenant Reed crawled through a narrow access tube as he held a phase pistol in his right hand, seemingly holding on to it for dear life. Beads of sweat covered his forehead. He had just managed to escape from his quarters without being detected and had reached the armory to get his hand on a phase pistol to protect himself. It had been only three hours ago when Enterprise was studying a nebula, unaware of the fact that three Orion raiders were lurking inside the nebula, ready to attack. Ship and crew didn’t stand much of a chance. The polarized hull plating fell off-line after being exposed to ten minutes of intense weapon’s fire. After that it didn’t take long before the Orions sent their shuttles, attaching themselves to Enterprise as leaches onto a dead body. Although Reed and his security team had put up a good fight against the Orion intruders, they were quickly outnumbered and outgunned. The ship’s corridors were littered with corpses of Enterprise’s crew. How many? Reed couldn’t say for sure. He counted a dozen bodies as the Orion pirates escorted him to his quarters where they thought they locked him up safe and secure. He guessed most likely half of the crew died during the attack. It could be less. Or maybe even more.

  • Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space”
    Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space” After Star Trek Catan was so well received, and as many of you asked us to take this joint venture of the two franchises Catan and Star Trek even further towards the “Final Frontier,” we thought long and hard about what kind of game expansion you would enjoy. As we knew that a lot of players liked our Catan Geographies™ maps so much, which take the whole Settlers of Catan experience towards a real map to put settlements in, we thought: Let us take Star Trek Catan into a “real” region of space to put our little NCC-1701 spaceships in. The crucial question was: Is there a region of space sufficiently “real” inside the Star Trek – The Original Series time period? After a bit of research, we discovered this wonderful map titled “The Explored Galaxy” over at the Memory Alpha wiki. As it turned out, this was “as real as it could get,” as it had been first shown hanging on a wall in none other than Captain James T. Kirk’s quarters in the Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country motion picture (and subsequently in various episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation). Every true Star Trek fan knows that this particular map depicts a lot of the known and beloved locations shown in The Original Series of the 60s, and some of those from The Animated Series of the 70s. We took great effort to investigate and cross-reference all these depicted celestial bodies with their respective episodes. © CATAN GmbH - Page 1 We then added a couple of planets that were not actually shown on this map but that we would really want to have in our game, and tried to pinpoint their locations according to mostly in-canon and sometimes semi-canon sources.

  • Spaceship Orion Looking Back Toward the Future
    Spaceship Orion Looking back toward the future ometimes there are perfectly good ideas that just don’t make any S sense—at least in a particular time and place. The United States’ se- cret Orion spaceship program is one example. Let’s look back at the early days of space exploration. In October 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first artificial earth satellite. It was twice the size of a basket- ball and weighed 185 pounds. Shortly afterward, the U.S. launched its first satellite. The next day, nuclear physicist, Ted Taylor, called theoretical physicist, Freeman Dyson, and suggested they design a vehicle that would blast into space on top of nuclear bombs, carrying humans through- out the solar system. Dreamers perhaps, but they almost did it. © 2008 Reprinted 2015 Looking Back to the Future What’s the difference between an Orion spaceship and a tin can and firecracker? Not much, really. Set off a firecracker under a tin can and they planned to take along an old fashioned the can blasts upward maybe eight or ten feet heavy metal barber’s chair. and falls to the ground.

My own small contribution to this legendary story has continued to be a source of great pride to me during my career, and although I have been fortunate enough to have many other projects to satisfy the artist in me, I have nevertheless always felt a deep and visceral connection to the show. But there are reasons why this never- ending story has endured. I have always believed that this special connection to Star Trek we all enjoy comes from the positive picture the stories consistently envision.

  • Pocket TOS #62 -- Death Count
    Star Trek: TOS (#62) – “Death Count” Pocket Books | November 1992 Back Cover: The disappearance of Andorian scientific genius Muav Haslev fuels tension between the Orions and the Andorians - tensions that come dangerously close to full-scale war. Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise are called to Starbase Sigma 1, located on the edge of Andorian-Orion space, to patrol the sector as a deterrent to hostilities. On arrival, the crew encounters an inexplicable series of events, beginning with missing equipment and shipboard malfunctions. After a deadly transporter accident, Kirk suspects sabotage - suspicions that are confirmed by the mysterious murder of three Federation officials. Now, Kirk and crew must put together the fragmented pieces of the puzzle, before the Starship Enterprise faces destruction and the galaxy faces interplanetary war. Summary: Chapter 1: The USS Enterprise is docked at Space Station Sigma One and its crew is on its final day of shoreleave; the previous days interrupted by on-site efficiency auditors from Federation Auditor General. Checkov, Sulu and Uhura have decided to remain together, exploring the station at large. Checkov and Sulu are interrupted from a game simulation, which the crew of the USS Exeter bested the last time the ship was through. Although the duo have been at the simulation for hours, they are still no closer to re-breaking the record. Meanwhile, Kirk, McCoy and Scotty are visiting a Scottish restaurant on the station, whereby Scotty wishes McCoy try something called Bubble-and-Squeak. They are interrupted by a Mr. John Taylor from the audits office, who advises Kirk that he and his team will be accompanying Kirk on his next mission, to view the crew in action.
