This is the opening monologue for the series I'm putting together. Borrowing from FASA Trek, I'm using the Triangle, a lawless semi-autonomous sector that the Federation, the Klingons, and the Romulans all claim. The mission will involve military actions, diplomacy, espionage, covert ops...that sort of thing.Quote:
The Triangle, a disputed sector.
These are the continuing missions of the Starship Victory, her mandated directive: to protect Federation citizens, to combat piracy along the space lanes, to guard the Federation from alien invasion.
The ship is the newly-launched USS Victory, NCC-1760, a Constitution-class ship. The time is early in the second season of TOS. The ruleset is 80% likely to be Where No Man Has Gone Before. It looks like a nice, easy to run system. That said, it might morph into FASA or CODA Trek before we start.

I hope to have fun with this. :)Quote:

Incidentally, I always used to read (get a player to read) an "opening crawl" with the opening theme playing in the background for my Star Wars game. So, I wanted to do the the opening monologue for my new Trek series. What actually gave me the inspiration for doing something rather than the standard "Space, the final frontier...." was this:

I figure if a fan series can break the mold, so can I! :D
So, I'll read the first one and then get a different player to read it with the opening theme of TOS each week. I know in star Wars, when the music cued up, that was the signal that we were starting. It usually helped everyone focus. Usually. ;)
