Challenge #4: Mission Accomplished “Design a Mission.” Challenge #4: Mission Accomplished “Design a mission.” In this challenge, the contestants were asked to design a mission with a special focus on making a Maquis or terrorism themed mission. The winning card would earn the chance to be play tested in Project Boomer, the upcoming expansion centered around the Maquis. Mission design can be difficult because of the wildly fluctuating standards of what makes a mission “good,” and the extremely limited amount of space on the template. How did our contestants do in their attempts to make playable missions? And which mission will end up in testing for Boomer? This document contains the results from this challenge, as well as all of the comments and feedback provided during the judging.

Dan - Story is good, and requirements fit nicely between Intercept Maquis and Intercept Renegade. Except the points - both of those missions are 30 pointers. Does the potentially "harder" requirement of having more weapons than a possible maquis opponent equal 5 more points? And do we need a third mission with very similar requirements? Solid mission, perhaps too many points, but doesn't fit into the global picture. Public Comments I guess the last part (weapons > Maquis weapons) is obsolete. I cant really imagine Maquis armadas. Very situational. Might be too easy for a 35pt mission? Also, a Nebula mission in a region presents some interesting prospects for Borg, which may not be a good thing. The way it is worded it cannot be solved by Maquis ships, if given the choice I'd rather see other missions appear in Boomer that actually help the Maquis Routine. Not great, not terrible. Solid but sort of bland, like a chocolate-chip cookie left out overnight. Pretty good mission, but comes of a little generic. Good. The problem with "any Intelligence" on a Dominion mission is that Founders don't count. This and Intercept Convoy both take form their story form the same episode and even though it's a TNG story it could still fit. The idea behind the card is sound and I welcome cards, especially missions that force players to interact. This however seems to be a little on the "is it worth it" side. In a more limited format it would probably see less play as the probability for a Maquis opponent is bigger, thus making the mission harder to solve. But if no opponent plays with Maquis then this mission would be a breeze. So barring any balancing issues and the rules dispute over if a Maquis personnel aboard a Federation ship is still "Maquis WEAPONS present". Maybe the mission points are a bit high? Take it down 5 maybe. Attempting icons look correct, those are all the guys who'd want to potentially ambush the Maquis. Requirements make sense, you'd want to have some officers to lead the attack, some intelligence about who you're fighting OR some legal justification for the attack, and you want to be able to win the fight (more weapons). Three skills and one other requirement sounds right for 35 points, but in most games the weapons requirement would essentially be a non- requirement. I'd be more okay with 35 or even 40 if the Maquis icon were changed to the word "opponent's" - as it is it feels more like a 30 point mission. Bonus for not being able to use mission specialists for the TNG affiliations. 6/10 Maybe a few points higher then it should be. 7/10 I would like to have seen > opposing [Maq] total WEAPONS Decent enough, maybe would've made more sense to say 'opponents maquis ship' as it's pretty much 2 OFFICER + Law otherwise. Great concept and design, but I would change the WEAPONS requirement to require a minimum number. Otherwise, I don't see it coming into play, even if Maquis decks become playable. I also don't like that I could solve this with a Yridian Shuttle. Exchange Military Hardware Designed by Paddy Tye (KazonPADD) Diplomacy + CUNNING>35 + any [Kli] or [Maq] leader When solved, may download Stolen Cloaking Device here Scores Public Vote 6.17 Allen Gould 5 Dan Hamman 7.5 Rank 5th Judge Comments Allen - I like the story idea, but I think you're a bit light on requirements for 30 points, especially since you're handing out bonus equipment. Dan - I like fringe-y missions that describe what "could have" happened or maybe was referenced as a throw away line. I also like the requirements that don't scream "use mission specialists!" with the skills required, though they may be too easy. No acquisition though? Perhaps it was sacrificed for the "when solved, download" text, which is neat. Points look good, so no marks off. Only slight is the affiliations that can attempt. There are enough NA Maquis leaders that this mission could be splashed easily, which I don't like. Public Comments I like that all affiliations can do it if they have a collaborateur. I dislike it´s only 30 points. Nice carrot to encourage a 30pt mission, but equipment downloads are easy to get, and the Stolen Cloaking Device won't be of any use in many games. May not be enough of a carrot Excellent storytelling and gameplay fit. One of my favorites of the set. Good mission. Good idea as to how to make it a Klingon or Maquis mission without making it their affiliations. But the bonus (the cloaking device) might be a little too good considering its point value and requirements for completion. Cute. Huh? Don't remember the story but it seems plausible at least. The mission requirements seems reasonable but as the bonus download the mission points seems 5 to high. As most of the other Badlands mission also require CUNNING then another one, even though high, with the same requirements seems a bit strange balancing vise. Maybe require something else. The name seems a bit wrong too as I doubt that the Maquis have anything the Klingons really want. I suppose anyone could be interested in this, though the addition of a Kli/Maq leader in the requirements makes the attempting affiliation box fairly irrelevant. I'm okay with Maquis missions generally having "any crew" text with Maquis icons in the requirements, since the Maquis are such a hodgepodge already.

    PRAISE FOR MANU SAADIA “Manu Saadia proves that Star Trek is an even more valuable cultural icon than we ever suspected.” —Charlie Jane Anders, Hugo Award winner, editor in chief, io9 “In Trekonomics, Saadia reminds us of what made Star Trek such a bold experiment in the first place: its Utopian theme of human culture recovering from capitalism. Smart, funny, and wise, this book is a great work of analysis for fans of Star Trek and a call to arms for fans of eco- nomic justice.” —Annalee Newitz, tech culture editor, Ars Technica “To understand the fictional world of Star Trek is to understand not only the forces which drive our real world, but also the changes that are necessary to improve it.

  • Deep Space Nine Als Soziopolitische Fiktion Und Unvollendetes Projekt
    Christoph Büttner Deep Space Nine als soziopolitische Fiktion und unvollendetes Projekt 1 Star Trek als soziopolitische Fiktion Zu dramatischer Musik laufen Captain Sisko und Major Kira durch die Gänge von Deep Space Nine, die Phasergewehre im Anschlag. Die Besatzung der Station ist auf der Suche nach einem Eindringling. Auf der Promenade kann der Stationsarzt Doktor Bashir noch einige Befehle an die Mannschaft erteilen, bevor er schließlich vom Gejagten überrascht wird. Die Situation, die sich als Übung herausstellt, wird in einer Art comic relief unterbrochen, als der Bartender Quark sich beschwert, dass die Übung seine Gäste verschrecke.1 Kurz darauf muss Captain Sisko eine Verabre- dung mit seiner Freundin unterbrechen, da die Mannschaften zahlreicher klingo- nischer Raumschiffe an Bord der Raumstation kommen. Schon in dieser kurzen Sequenz, den ersten zehn Minuten der Star Trek – Deep Space Nine (USA 1993–1999, Idee: Rick Berman, Michael Piller)-Episode «The Way of the Warrior» (S04/E01, 1995, R: James L. Conway) zeigt sich das Zusammenspiel ver- schiedener filmischer Verfahren zur Repräsentation unterschiedlicher sozialer Kon- figurationen und soziologischer Konzepte: Die Differenz zwischen Übung und realer Gefechtssituation etwa wird dadurch, dass sie erst verzögert aufgelöst wird, als kon- textuell abhängig von sozialen Bedeutungszuschreibungen2 begreiflich; die Figur Bas- hirs agiert in verschiedenen sozialen Rollen als Soldat, Arzt oder Freund; die Raum- station selbst als soziale Einheit besteht wiederum aus kleineren sozialen Einheiten (z. B. Paarbeziehungen), ist allerdings eingebettet in größere soziale Zusammenhänge und außerdem offen für den Austausch mit anderen sozialen Gebilden. Insofern sich in diesen unterschiedlichen sozialen Einheiten und Modi auch verschiedene (norma- tive) Ideen über soziale Konfigurationen ausdrücken, lässt sich Star Trek als Verhand- lung «soziopolitische[r] Fiktionen oder social-science-fiction»3 verstehen.

  • The Enlightenment Mariners and Transatlanticism of Star Trek
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Space-age Hornblowers, or why Kirk and co. are not space cowboys: The Enlightenment mariners and transatlanticism of Star Trek STEFAN RABITSCH, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (AAU) ABSTRACT Many mistakenly perceive Star Trek to be, simply, a “Wagon Train to the stars,” a space western/opera that projects the U.S. American frontier into outer space. However, by introducing his starship captain in archetypal terms as a ‘space-age Captain Horation [sic] Hornblower,’ and by making him a descendant of ‘similar [naval] men in the past,’ Star Trek (1966-1969) creator Gene Roddenberry makes it clear that his starship captain is not based on the quintessential cowboy hero found in the U.S. American national imagination (Roddenberry, 1964: 5). In this article, I seek to (re)map the character contours of the principle Star Trek captains and compare them with C. S. Forester’s ‘man alone,’ Horatio Hornblower, as well as with Hornblower’s romanticised predecessors. I will demonstrate how ‘Starfleet’s finest’ fit the role of the sentimental naval officer/hero of the Romantic period. Ultimately, it will become clear that Roddenberry used Horatio Hornblower as an archetypal blueprint to craft the Star Trek captains as interstellar masters and commanders, as well as spaceborne naturalists and scientists, extending the historio-mythical continuum of British maritime heroes into Star Trek’s fictional, yet “historical” future. The “Hornblowers in space” represent the central node in the decidedly transatlantic double consciousness of the Star Trek continuum - a maritime endowment which has largely escaped scholarly attention.

    Among Us: Cross-Cultural Encounters in Science Fiction Media by Nicole Valeria Companiytsev A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta © Nicole Valeria Companiytsev, 2019 ii Abstract Storytelling is an essential part of our experience as human beings. We turn to narrative to explain our own lives – casting ourselves as protagonists, others as secondary characters and antagonists, and the myriad of events that happen to us as a coherent, linear story. Fiction and metaphor are lenses for our collective imagination – a representation of how we see ourselves as a society, and how we see others outside of our culture. In the Western world, nowhere is this view more prominent than in the genre of science fiction. In the fictional interactions between humans and aliens – diplomacy, conflict, oppression, misunderstandings, and cultural sharing – we can see a reflection of our society’s values, its moral prescriptions, and its warnings for the future. Anthropologists, as experts on extracting cultural rules from observation, and picking up on cross-cultural misunderstandings, have long been aware of the human tendency to exaggerate difference between cultures in order to define them as distinct. Thus, an anthropological study of science fiction is crucial for understanding how a society defines itself. In this thesis, I undertake an analysis of the influential science fiction television serial, Star Trek. I seek to answer how the portrayal of specific alien societies in Star Trek inform and reflect the American society’s understanding of both itself and “the other”.
