Not-Trek

Terra Games Starfleet VoyagesSTARFLEET VOYAGES

Publisher Terra Games Company
Designer Michael Scott
Released 1982


I'd like to emphasize that this is not Star Trek. You can tell because one of the officers has green hair. You don't remember any green-haired officers in Star Trek, do you?

Despite references to Klingons, the Romulan Star Empire, Gorn, Vulcans, disruptors, and the transporter... this is not Star Trek.

Starfleet Voyages includes rules for the Basic Game with a scenario called "The Shuttlecraft Crash", and an Advanced Game with a scenario called "The Slaver Ruins".

Despite the inclusion of these familiar scenarios, Starfleet Voyages is not Heritage's Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier. For one thing, they've got the maps in the right order this time. And it's in a box that doesn't say "ⓒ Copyright Paramount Pictures Corporation" anywhere on it.

You get the idea. More at a much later time.
