Attack on Mars
The Attack on Mars was a surprise attack which occurred on April 5 , First Contact Day , in 2385 . It was masterminded by Commodore Oh , a Zhat Vash operative who had infiltrated Starfleet Security , and carried out through compromised A500 synths originating from the Daystrom Institute 's Division of Advanced Synthetic Research .

Prelude [ ]
At some time following the defeat of the Reman military coup of the Romulan Star Empire , it was discovered that the Romulan sun would soon go supernova , likely destroying the planets Romulus and Remus . With the effect on other nearby systems, the impending disaster was anticipated to kill at least nine hundred million Romulans. The empire requested aid from the United Federation of Planets . Admiral Jean-Luc Picard convinced Starfleet to mobilize a massive rescue armada – "ten thousand warp-capable ferries " – to aid in the evacuation efforts, which were assembled over Mars. ( PIC : " Remembrance ")
Oh , a half -Romulan/half- Vulcan member of the Tal Shiar and its ultra-secretive Zhat Vash cabal , held a gathering of Zhat Vash operatives on the planet Aia . She reminded them of the Admonition , showing them devastation wrought upon the galaxy by artificial lifeforms, warning it would happen again. She selected Mars as an ideal target whose destruction would push the Federation towards a ban of artificial lifeforms. ( PIC : " Broken Pieces ")

F8, the android who helped initiate the attack
On First Contact Day in 2385 , only a skeleton crew remained to work at the center of the rescue fleet, the Utopia Planitia Ship Yards , during the holiday. Multiple A500 androids suddenly went rogue. One android, F8 , lowered the deflector shields protecting the shipyards and the planet itself, then hacked the Martian defense net . Once the attack began, F8 slaughtered his organic coworkers and then committed suicide. ( PIC : " Remembrance ", " Maps and Legends ")
The attack [ ]
Moments thereafter, numerous synth ships began targeting the rescue armada, the Utopia Planitia Ship Yards, the Mars Orbital Facility , and other Martian facilities. The satellite network surrounding Mars was turned against the surface. The synths then began bombarding the surface, igniting flammable vapors in the stratosphere and causing massive damage to the planet's infrastructure.
Starfleet dispatched a task force to Mars at high warp in response to the attack, but was unable to prevent the destruction of almost the entire surface of the planet.
Aftermath [ ]
Although initial reports only estimated more than three thousand killed, the death toll would eventually be revised to 92,143 in total. During the initial news reports, Admiral Picard was quoted on the Federation News Network , calling the attack "devastating". All reserve officers were called back into service. ( PRO : " Ouroboros, Part II ")
Since it was initially thought to be a programming error in the synths, the Federation Council placed a ban on synthetic lifeforms . Androids such as B-4 were dismantled, and the Daystrom Institute was restricted to "theoretical" studies on synthetics. Admiral Picard called this ban "a mistake". With all active positronic matrices shut down, people who would contract mendaxic neurosclerosis , such as Thaddeus Troi-Riker , would eventually die from the illness without treatment, increasing the death toll beyond the initial attack.
All exploration was put on hold, after Starfleet Command was asked to "scale back" operations in light of the personnel shortage and to focus on protecting Federation citizens; ships that were only good for exploration were slated for decommission . Furthermore, Starfleet Academy suspended operation for an unknown period of time, a decision held in error by Admiral Kathryn Janeway , who questioned what would happen if the Federation stopped exploring new worlds and new civilizations. Using her connections, Janeway reassigned the second Protostar -class , USS Prodigy , as a training ship in a pilot program under her command to continue the exploration aspect under the guise of training newly assigned ensigns.( PRO : " Ouroboros, Part II ")
With the destruction of the Romulan rescue armada, Admiral Picard submitted a plan to replace the lost ships with mothballed vessels from Beta Antares Ship Yards and the 40 Eridani A Starfleet Construction Yards . Starfleet, aware that the Romulan rescue mission was unpopular among many of the Federation's member races, and with several saying they would leave the Federation if the rescue went forward, instead abandoned its promise to aid the Romulan evacuation altogether, a decision that shocked Picard.
In desperation, he submitted his resignation , demanding that Starfleet either accept it or honor their promise to the Romulans; to his surprise and dismay, they accepted the resignation, which angered Lieutenant Commander Raffi Musiker , who believed in his plans and was eventually discharged from Starfleet. In the years that followed, Picard developed recurring nightmares of the attack, partly from his loss of faith in Starfleet. Musiker, who had initially believed in some Tal Shiar involvement and not the accepted story of a programming error, would become obsessed with figuring out who really carried out the attack, with her conspiracy theories only getting as far as the Conclave of Eight . This obsession would lead to the destruction of her family and her drug addiction .
In 2387 , Ambassador Spock would attempt to stop the supernova from happening by using red matter aboard the starship Jellyfish . He would be too late, and when the Romulan sun did go supernova, it destroyed the Romulus system , killing millions. The Jellyfish would be attacked by the Romulan mining vessel Narada , whose captain Nero blamed Spock and the Federation for the death of his wife in the supernova. Both ships would be lost in a red matter-created black hole , leading to the creation of an alternate reality and, eventually, the destruction of that reality's Vulcan and an attack on Earth in retaliation for the prime Starfleet's refusal to help. Picard would go on to blame Starfleet's inaction for the high death toll, lamenting that their decision to call off the rescue and to abandon the Romulans was not just dishonorable, but also downright criminal, and it was not so easy for those either had died or left behind. The Romulan Star Empire was replaced by a Romulan Free State .
With the lack of Starfleet support, the sectors in and near the former Romulan Neutral Zone collapsed, and the planets there were left to themselves. Independent groups such as the Fenris Rangers would attempt to maintain order and help worlds like Vashti , the Romulan Relocation Hub before the attack, but by the end of the century these worlds would fall into chaos and poverty , becoming hotbeds for the Romulan Rebirth movement and petty warlords like Kar Kantar .
As of 2399 , Mars remained ablaze. Some individuals, such as Dr. Agnes Jurati , later referred to the planet as having been "destroyed" in the attack. At the same time, however, the Federation's synthetic ban was eventually lifted after it was discovered that the synthetics were not responsible for the attack, but rather it was orchestrated by the Zhat Vash whose sole mission was the extermination of all synthetic life, even at the apparent cost of their own homeworld and millions of innocent Romulans.

Apocrypha [ ]
In Star Trek Online , a Task Force Operation PVE mission based on the Attack on Mars is known as "Synth Wave". In it, players are tasked with attempting to rescue as many engineers as possible to get them to safety or get them into various Starfleet vessels to fight against the synth armada. Since the players' involvement in the event is only hypothetical , players can see what their actions could do in lessening the death toll of the attack.

Other involvement [ | ]
- "Utopia Planitia Report 1" : Lieutenant Whetu and Ensign Elyos of Utopia Planitia work to solve design problems with the plasma manifolds of the U.S.S. Hestia's engine assembly.
- "Utopia Planitia Report 2" : Whetu and Elyos discuss ordered upgrades to the Galaxy dreadnought as part of Starfleet's ongoing efforts to remain competitive with the Klingons and Romulans , despite recent alliances.
- "Utopia Planitia Report 3" : Disaster strikes while Whetu and Elyos are conducting an EVA to repair the U.S.S. Defiant . In order to rescue Elyos, Whetu must attempt an extremely dangerous maneuver.
- "Utopia Planitia: One Big Ship" : Whetu and Elyos accompany a team of technicians on an inspection of the U.S.S. Enterprise , which is undergoing a large-scale refit. They meet with the Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander Kirayoshi O'Brien , who welcomes them aboard and cautions them that he has made a number of nonstandard modifications to the ship, and that they should consult him if they find anything outside normal specifications. He arranges to meet Whetu over dinner in ten-forward to discuss their progress.
- "A Gathering of Engineers" : At Utopia Planitia, Lieutenant Whetu meets with Tum'Era of the Klingon Empire and James Hunt of the Borg Cooperative to evaluate recent proposals for new Competitive Wargames. While they reject proposals from the Ferengi and Excalbians , they approve three simulations: “Binary Circuit” , from Izar ; “Core Assault” , from the Gorn ; and “Twin Tribulations” , the Reman entry.
- "Utopia Planetia: The Mystery of Yard 39" : Leaving the Narendra's commissioning party, Whetu finds Elyos studying "weather reports" from the TL-9139 system. Elyos explains that nearly one hundred starships had been abandoned in the system in 2259 when a freak eruption from the local star flooded the area with Baryon radiation. Now, however, it appears that the radiation is abating, and it will be safe to re-enter the system within a few weeks. Elyos is excited by the prospect of recovering the antiquated ships, and applying what they learn from them to modern ship design.

Notes [ | ]
- The map was remade in 2020 for “Mars, the Bringer of War” and “Synth Wave” . The introduction of Synth Wave, confirming the First Contact Day attack is in STO's timeline, with the remastering of the Klingon 2409 mission implies that the burning on Mars (ongoing in 2399) was ended and the shipyards rebuilt prior to 2409.

![utopia planitia star trek UPFY.png](https://uss-theurgy.com/w/images/thumb/d/d3/UPFY.png/150px-UPFY.png)
Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards , also known as Utopia Planitia Starfleet Yards or Utopia Planitia Shipyards , was a key Starfleet vessel construction and design facility in the 24 th century. The facility included a number of drydocks and space stations, as well as several large drafting rooms for starship design and planetary facilities on the surface of Mars. Because of its key role in Starfleet’s starship production, Utopia Planitia Shipyards was the construction site of many prominent vessels and the workplace of many prominent engineers and starship designers.
Utopia Planitia Shipyards collaborated with San Francisco Fleet Yards in the design and construction of the Luna class starship, including the USS Resolve that was commissioned on October 22nd, 2375.
In the 2350's Nicole Howard 's father worked at Utopia Planitia Shipyards until his alcoholism cost him his job.
In 2357, Kanti MacTavish 's parents, a joined Trill and human of Scottish descent both worked as engineers at Utopia Planitia Shipyards the year she was born.
Nator 159 served at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in the Advanced Starship Design Bureau from 2367 until 2380. During this time Nator was a member of both the Luna and Theurgy design and construction teams. Nator received two promotions during this time but was demoted a rank due to the actions of Liam Herrold .
After the Borg attack of 50893.5 (2373) , the USS Dawnguard was towed to Utopia Planitia Shipyards for repairs.
Crewman Liam Herrold served as a fighter weapons and ordinance technician at Utopia Planitia Shipyards from 2373 until he was promoted to petty officer third class and transferred to the USS Resolve in 2376. During this time he familiarized himself with the tactical systems of the Peregrine-class and Mark I AC-205 Valkyrie fighters . While serving at Utopia Planitia Shipyards Crewman Herrold specialized in fitting and loading torpedo based weaponry and calibrating their targeting software and developed an interest in the new pulse phaser technology .
In 2377, Lt. JG Azrin Ryn was assigned to Utopia Planitia Shipyards as part of the Hot Fire Test Team, running the final tests on newly built warp engines before the ships were allowed to leave the yards for their shakedowns.
After the Dominion War , Utopia Planitia Shipyards collaborated with the Antares Fleet Yards to construct the Theurgy-class prototype USS Theurgy which was commissioned on October 9th, 2378.
In 2380, Lt. JG Ryn had begun to miss serving on a starship, so she requsted a transfer from the shipyards and was assigned to the USS Theurgy .
Lieutenant (junior grade) Kaylon Jeen served at Utopia Planitia Shipyards for a year from 2379 to 2380. While there he worked to increase the efficiency of the new Powhatan class’s deuterium enrichment hardware, so that a starship on a deep space mission could make more efficient use of any raw deuterium that was collected and processed on board. It had the added advantage of increasing overall deuterium usage as well. For this he was awarded Starfleet 's Meritorious Service Medal.
Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards

History [ ]
Commander Clause Elberg commanded Utopia Planitia from 2270 to 2271 . ( Endless Winter )
Beginning in 2358 , Captain Jonathan Hofmann served with Starfleet Research and Development at Utopia Planitia. While there, he spearheaded the USS Scandalon and Pendragon -class Development Projects. ( PDN : "Children of the Burning Heart" , "Wings As Eagles" , "Restoration" )
Vice Admiral Theoderich Patterson began a tour of duty as commanding officer of the Fleet Yards here while the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was being constructed. ( TNG novel: The Sky's the Limit : "Meet with Triumph and Disaster") He would still be in command years later when USS Voyager (NCC-74656) was launched. ( VOY : " Relativity ")
Lieutenant Commander James Tiberius Kirk was stationed at Utopia Planitia between 2364 and 2366 . During this time, he was part of the investigation into the destruction of the USS Yamato . ( TNG : " Contagion "; Epiphany Trek : "Epiphany")
Captain T'Sara was a project supervisor for the USS Buran (NCC-57580) Construction Team between 2365 and 2367 , which was abruptly halted by the Buran 's destruction during the Battle of Wolf 359 . ( Star Trek: Courageous )
Prior to his assignment to Deep Space 9 Benjamin Sisko was stationed at Utopia Planitia, where he assisted in the design work and flight tests of the USS Defiant . ( DS9 : " Emissary ", " The Search, Part I ")
In 2367 , the USS Prospect spent a few months in repair and being upgraded at the Utopia Planitia facility. ( TPC : "The Burnt Child" )
The USS Prospect -A was launched from Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in 2371 . ( TPC : "Home" )
Lieutenant Commanders Antonio Fernandes and Ethan Arden were stationed at Utopia Planitia for at least part of the USS Cantabrian 's refit between 2369 and 2372 . Commander Kwong Ju'an , their supervisor, was also stationed there. ( Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions : " Catalyst, Part One ")
The shipyard, as well as a Federation rescue armada for the Romulan worlds imperilled by the coming Hobus supernova, was destroyed by rogue synths in 2385 . ( Short Treks : "Children of Mars"; PIC : " Remembrance ", " The End is the Beginning ")
When the IKS Descent accidentally sent itself too far back in time from 2411 , they found themselves in 2385 over the synth attack at Mars and Utopia Planitia, forcing them to assist in the defence. ( Star Trek: Phoenix-X : " Fanatical Online ")
Utopia Planitia was heavily damaged in a Klingon Defense Force raid in 2409 led by Lieutenant Commander Brokosh . ( Bait and Switch : Red Fire, Red Planet )
In 2752 , the fleet yards were set to be decommissioned due to a lack of resources, a move which Fleet Admiral Thomas Garrison protested and tried to get reversed. A slew of top-Admirals had planned to offset ship construction to the San Francisco Fleet Yards , which would only compensate half the duties of Utopia Planitia. When the Alliance came into knowledge of an issue at San Francisco that would cripple the Federation, the Admiralty ultimately decided to keep Utopia Planitia open. ( Star Trek: 001 : "New Beginnings" )

Review of Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook by Joseph Harney
By Joseph Harney
Like any good book review, let’s start by judging the book by its cover. And wow, are these some gorgeous covers! Modiphius has gone the extra mile and included both a TNG and TOS era collector’s edition cover, in addition to their Standard full wrap-around cover featuring a Constitution -class ship undergoing refit at the shipyards. Building on the fantastic Collector’s editions previously produced, the TNG era is a dark blue featuring the iconic Galaxy class ship, while the TOS era is a clean looking white with the Constitution class schematic foil stamped onto the cover. Each will look absolutely amazing on your bookshelf, so you should just save yourself the trouble and buy both!
![utopia planitia star trek](https://i0.wp.com/continuingmissionsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-1.png?resize=1024%2C349&ssl=1)
Opening the cover, you are immediately treated to a rogue’s gallery of top-down views of Federation starships from throughout the era, which continues on the back panel with even more ships to help players and GMs visualize these lesser-known vessels. Opening to the table of contents, I was immediately struck by how much content they managed to put into this 250-page book. In fact, we don’t even see our first space frame until page 95. But don’t let that put you off, the first 3 chapters are packed full of tremendously useful information on how to bring your starships more fully alive in your game, and help bring you one step closer to Roddenbery’s vision that the ship is just as important a character to the story as any other crew member.
Chapter one is a brief history of Starfleet and its legacy from before the Federation was created through the 25 th century and beyond. In 12 pages the writers have somehow managed to give a brief history of 300 years of canon history, while still doing justice to each era of play.
![utopia planitia star trek](https://i0.wp.com/continuingmissionsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-2.png?resize=1024%2C299&ssl=1)
Chapter two is all about life aboard a Federation starship. There is a great sidebar giving players a list of questions about their character’s daily schedule to help inject a bit more color into their story. Then the book talks about areas of interest on a starship, and what types of roleplaying scenes can likely take place.
There are several line drawings of bridge configurations that can easily be cropped from the pdf and dropped into a virtual tabletop program, which is a nice touch.
![utopia planitia star trek](https://i0.wp.com/continuingmissionsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-3.png?resize=370%2C163&ssl=1)
A section on Computers throughout the era of play and how they can be used to add drama to any scene is very much a welcome addition.
A couple of random game and martial arts tables let players come up with a near infinite combination of downtime activities for their character to engage in while not on duty. And no section on downtime would be complete without a random Holodeck Story starter table to allow your players to get up to photonic hijinx.
Two great sidebars on FTL travel and moving at the speed of plot give GMs great advice on how to handle travel in their games without letting it bog down in minutia. Once done touring the ship, the next section is all about resource collection. Each section of the book starts with a quote from the franchise, and this one is my favorite quote from Janeway about Coffee and Nebulas.
![utopia planitia star trek](https://i0.wp.com/continuingmissionsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-4.png?resize=404%2C100&ssl=1)
The section starts by listing out 20 different canonically accurate resources and their futuristic uses. Each one is critical to some starship components, and securing these resources, especially in eras before replicator technology, could be the focus of entire stories or campaigns. Included in this section is a Mining and Resource Plot Component table, building on the Red/Blue/Gold plot components from the Core book and Division supplements. Accompanying the tables are some plot seed ideas and a mining hazard random table. The section has tips on how to incorporate a lack of resources as a plot point and suggestions on how to use negotiating for supplies in your game. Salvage and retrieval operations are presented as an extended task, and give some sample encounters any GM can either modify or drop into their existing story framework.
Chapter three moves onto ship design and begins with talking about the ship’s role in the game.
![utopia planitia star trek](https://i0.wp.com/continuingmissionsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-5.png?resize=1025%2C468&ssl=1)
My second favorite table in the entire game appears here. It’s a table with a whole host of ship Idiosyncrasies that you can add to give it more character. There is a great bit on sentient ships and their implications, as well as how to make your ship a main character.
Then we move into the actual nuts and bolts of creating starships for the game mechanics. The book talks about how to create your own ship, echoing the process laid out in the core rules on taking spaceframes, and adding mission profiles and talents to get your final ship version. Then making shuttlecraft is discussed, as well as creating space stations.
Section 3.50 has mission profiles you can select for your ship. In addition to new mission profiles, the design team thankfully included all the existing profiles from the core rulebook as well. This is done with talents, as well as spaceframes later on. This means that Utopia Planitia is a completely self-contained book, and you do not have to flip back and forth between this book and the core rulebook for all the various options for ship design. This is by far the best “quality of life” improvement this book provides to GMs, as I know how difficult the struggle to contain page count in any sourcebook can be.
Section 3.70 goes into starship weapons, again pulling all the information from the core rulebook and other supplements into a single source.
![utopia planitia star trek](https://i0.wp.com/continuingmissionsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-6.png?resize=340%2C195&ssl=1)
Not much has changed for the weapons themselves, which I found to be slightly unfortunate. I had hoped the design team would have taken the opportunity to tweak some of the weapon types to make them feel more distinctive and address the discrepancy between energy weapons and torpedoes. However, it’s not a big deal, and I will continue to use my house rules of significantly increased torpedo damage to give them the feel I think they have on the screen. This section also talks about mines and tractor beams, as well as a great sidebar on using a warp core as a weapon. Plenty of story ideas abound!
Next, we get to talents, and boy howdy are there a lot of them. 56 new and existing talents are presented, giving players and GMs a near infinite array of options to enhance a starship and make it unique to your group.
There are an incredible 55 spaceframes presented in this chapter, in glorious two-page spreads.
As I said in the beginning, we finally arrive at Chapter 4 and actual spaceframes. There are an incredible 55 spaceframes presented in this chapter, in glorious two-page spreads. Each spaceframe has a writeup on the overview and capabilities, along with the spaceframe stats itself, which is paired with a notable starship of the class that is fully fleshed out mechanically and ready to fly off the page and straight into your game. Not to be outdone, there are 16 small craft and 10 space stations that get similar treatments.
![utopia planitia star trek](https://i0.wp.com/continuingmissionsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-7.png?resize=948%2C486&ssl=1)
Chapter 5 is all about gamemastering advice, including optional rules for jury-rigging repairs, building shuttles, crazy ship maneuvers, and space hazards. A great section on Diagnostics and Maintenance gives GMs a whole toolbox of ideas to toss complications at their players. As has become the custom, this book concludes with 10 one-page mission briefs, all of which gave me thoughtful pause on how I could include them in my current game.
In conclusion, I would have been quite satisfied with a book that compiled all existing ship information from all currently published materials into a single, easy-to-use, reference book. Instead, what we got was a tour de force on how the starship is a vital thing, the player’s home away from home, and its own character within a Star Trek Adventures story. I could not be more pleased, and I cannot wait until I receive the physical copy that I pre-ordered immediately upon release.
I give Utopia Planitia a rating of Warp Factor 9.95.

Joseph – great review!
Would like to see more regarding this statement:
“However, it’s not a big deal, and I will continue to use my house rules of significantly increased torpedo damage to give them the feel I think they have on the screen.”
Excellent!!
So because SOMEONE will want to know, I thought I’d add to this review by listing the full list of ships. Each ship has an “example ship” I’ll make note of any particularly exciting ones ships with an astirix beside their name come from non canon sources eaither novels or a video game. ships with a double astirix came from Star Trek online but where canonized with season 2 of Picard.
J-Class/Y-Class Warp Delta Daedalus 22nd Century Intrepid Type NX Class ( includes stats for Enterprise UESPA NX-01 as of 2161) Walker Shepard Magee Cardenas Hoover Malachowski Engle Nimitz Hiawatha Hermes Consisution (USS Enterprise NCC 1701 no bloody A B C or D) Antares freighter Crossfield (USS Discovery NCC 1031) Archer* Miranda (USS Reliant NCC 1864) Oberth Souyz Sydney Excelsior Centaur Constellation Ambassador Cheyenne Springfield Raven Type Niagara Galaxy (USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D) Challanger Freedom Nebula New Orleans Akira Nova Olympic Steamrunner Defiant (USS Defiant NX-74205) Norway Intrepid (USS Voyager NCC 74656) Saber Soverign (USS Enterprise NCC 1701 E) Luna (USS Titan NCC 80102) Promethus Vesta* Ross ** Inquiry (USS Zheng He NCC 86505) Reliant ** Sutherland ** Gagarian ** Oddessy * (USS Enterprise NCC 1701 F… here’s hoping I edit this later to add a second astrix!)

Nice list. But the Pathfinder comes from STO as well, and probably needs an Asterisk.

Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator brings back many good memories. That scratched an itch I hadn't felt since Car Wars, would get a little taste of in Rogue Trader and never felt the same level of love again even after Battletech . Of course being a poor gamer out in Oklahoma, we only discovered that gem after it had been tossed in the bargain bin as a dead game line.

Love this book, not just for all the cool ships but also all of the cool Mission Briefs in it.

Utopia Planitia
![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
I am excited!
Sorry in advance for the rework you’ll need to do on the builder app.
Yes! Prometheus class has finally arrived. Thank you!
Super cool and super awesome. Will totally buy this when it comes out and such. Starships and stations are awesome.
Space stations are perfect sector headquarters and game sites so having that be covered in whatever detail you guys are covering it is gonna be fun.
I guess having the Wells-class was a bit of an unreasonable expectation, but otherwise this looks awesome!
Unfortunately there are a couple of errors in the spaceframes. Will there be time to fix them before the book goes to print?
![:frowning: :frowning:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/frowning.png?v=12)
I can’t wait to order this. So happy to see STO ships in the book too.
No, but you can email any perceived errors to me and I’ll update the PDFs.
jim at modiphius.com ; make the subject heading clear, like [STA UP] Corrections
The deltas on the spine look like they’re mirrored in the collector’s editions… is that because they’re just mockups, and not actual pictures of the books? (I assume they’re mockups because the effect to make the shiny outlines on the front shiny looks more like a render than an actual reflection to me.)
absolutely amazing to have this book, am so happy to see the Oddessy… looking forward to seeing it on screen next year. The one thing that might drag down reviews of this book is the lack of Klingon Space frames. a handful of KDF space frames (such as the Mogh class Battle cruiser) would have been fun additions, but given the name is Utopia Planetia, I assume the focus is starfleet. with perhaps a future KDF ship supplement to come later
Good spot, they do seem to be mirrored. Hopefully it’s as you say - it’s just a mock up and it’s corrected in the actual copies.
Don’t know if there’ll be a non-Starfleet ships book. Have to see how this one does.
Just a mock-up error. The production files are correct. Some of the renders list “Starship Sourcebook” on the cover rather than the correct “Starfleet Sourcebook.” The latter is also in the production files.
I love it and all the rules within. Gives me plenty to work with. Almost bought both collector’s editions but I stopped myself and settled on TNG.
thats what I figured, maybe we’ll be able to get a “25th century” era book that covers picard, STO and has some ships in it, given STO starts with a war between starfleet and the Klingons I imagine there’s going to be demand. Speaking as a long time STO player, if you did a book and had to choose 4 Klingon ships to include in there I’d go with the Bortesque, Mogh, Vo’quv Carrier, and Matha Raptor. those are proably the most popular 25th century spaceframes for the KDF in game
So on another note, I found an “error” that states the eugenics where were in the 90s didn’t SNW eistablish that the eugenics wars where part of WW3? I’m guessing this was written before SNW came out and that the explination of “confused records” is staying but thought I’d raise this
I didn’t watch SNW yet, but I have watched PIC. There are hints that Khan Noonien Singh, who was part of the eugenic wars, was (part/offspring of a) a genetics project of Dr. Adam Soong between 1992 and 1997. While originating in the 90ies, the project might finally be used in WW3 (after 202x and prior to around 2060). In TOS 01x24 “Space Seed” there are, if I remember correctly, several on-screen mentions of the 90ies as the era of the Eugenic Wars.
So SNW establishing the Eugenics Wars part of WW3 is probably a ret-con (it definetly is a wonderful starting point of a pointless debate on timeline-continuity and this series not being part of that timeline/canon/whatever).
To make things worse, we have DS9 03x11 "Past Tense, Part I where Bashir, Dax, and Sisko accidentally travel to the 2020ies and land within a compound (called: “Sanctuary”) for homeless and/or unemployed people. Since it has been established that the Eugenics Wars killed a significant part of the human species, the mere existence of said compounds (which Sisko knew to be “normal” at that time) contradicts Eugenics Wars in the 90ies.
There’s also TNG 01x26 “The Neutral Zone” establishing that humans were (probably commercially) cryo-freezing recently died “in the late 20th century”.
yeah, SNW’s first episode gives us a fantastic speach by Pike that actually gives us proably the best and I’d say definative timline for WW3, the eugenics wars etc
![STAR TREK : Strange New Worlds | Captain Pike Inspires a Civilization. utopia planitia star trek](https://img.youtube.com/vi/nYZ4IoyztIw/maxresdefault.jpg)
worth watching although obviously spoilers. basicly it gives us some solid lore that actually builds on the Bell riots and addresses those issues.

1.1 Star Trek history
The Chimera class introduced in the mid 24th century was one of the first starship classes of Starfleet to be particularly designed and constructed as a "scout", therefore being specially adjusted to the tasks reconaissance and undercover research. While Federation had mainly used Peregrine class courier ships or research ships during the long period of peace at the beginning of the 24th century due to the relative rarity of such missions, the significance and necessity of the obversation of enemy fleet movements and bases grew with the rapid deterioration of the relations to the Cardassian Union in the 2340s . It became obvious that the vessels previously used for this purpose wouldn't be up to these tasks in a war-like situation any longer, and instead, a compact, quick, but also powerful ship would be necessary. In 2345 , these considerations and the following project requirements exactly worked out by the ASDB resulted in the beginning of the Chimera project, with the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards being responsible for he construction. Although a non-propulsive base version of the prototype and the spaceframes of 6 additional vessels of the class were already avaiable 3 years late, the beginning of the Cardassian Wars in 2346 and the massacre of Setlik III in the following year showed that the project had been initiated too late. Therefore, from this moment the construction of the prototype was accelerated and additionally, it was decided to construct another four vessels of the class. Consequently, the USS Chimera, the first real scout ship of Starfleet, could be comissioned in 2350 . Together with the 10 series vessels comissioned between 2351 and 2355 , it did a good job for Starfleet during the Cardassian Wars. Although the Chimera class has been getting on in years and is inferior to the more modern starship classes like the Defiant class or Intrepid class in the meantime, the beginning of the conflict with the Dominion in late 2370 has shown that a compact and reliable scout is still needed by Starfleet.

In a nutshell, the Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook is your one-stop shop for all things starship in a Federation game of Star Trek Adventures.

The shuttle pilot banked slightly and made a slow, curving turn around the stern of the massive starship that hung like a jewel in a spiderweb over Mars. Elyos reached out a hand and steadied himself against the wall, then craned his head back at the gaggle of junior technicians on the bench seats in back. An enigmatic smile crossed his face.

The Utopia Planitia project of the Star Trek Dimension pursues - albeit not in "real" space, but in cyberspace - similiar goals: it is a creative, imaginery platform for the development and "construction" (i.e. modelling) of new shuttles, starships, space stations and other objects which are part of the Star Trek universe or are at least based ...

Instead, what we got was a tour de force on how the starship is a vital thing, the player's home away from home, and its own character within a Star Trek Adventures story.

either way, thank you for contributing to this wonderful system, it really invigourated our 10+ year old game, where the players escaped the doomed star wars universe and let it implode, only to arrive in ours during star trek times.
