Someone on ebay is auctioning off a PDF version of what they claim is a tech manual used for the Voyager TV series.
It sounds interesting, but I wonder if such a thing ever existed. Does anyone know or heard about a tech manual used by writers for Voyager?
Here is the ebay link:

Highly doubtful.. but I am curious also! :D
It's legit. It's scanned from a photocopy version of the Sternbach/Okuda Tech Bible for the series. Photocopies of the manual were available in convention dealers' rooms throughout the late nineties. It runs aboyt 20 pages and essentially details Voyager-specific tech data. It's only 20 pages long, and contains a few sidebars written from a production PoV, including notes to the actors on how to use LCARS panels "realistically".
You know, if I was still running the Blackthorne game, that would be a useful resource. Unfortunately (or fortunately, dpending on perspective), I'm not... :)
There's actually a couple of versions. I picked up both through the Roddenberry store some years back. There's not really anything i nthere you wouldn't get from the show, but it is a good primer for anyone not familiar with Trek or Voyager.
