Enterprise RPG - "The Drifting Ring" (scenario)

(Note: Here is the next in my series of excerpts from my translation of the 1983 Japanese TRPG, Enterprise. The box set included a separate booklet, an adventure module entitled "Scenario No. 1". As far as I can determine, it was the only official module released for the game. It's only 14 pages, many of them detailed maps, but it appears quite imaginative. Sort of "A Private Little War" crossed with "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky", as our intrepid crew finds itself aboard an enormous Stanford Torus-like generation ship, rushing toward Klingon space.)



STAR TREK RPG Scenario
"The Drifting Ring"


Captain’s Log, Stardate 3205.6

We are in pursuit of a spectacle beyond compare.

The Enterprise discovered it while exploring within UFP territory near the Klingon border.

It possessed a remarkable velocity that, in many ways, could not be believed.

Spock judged that it must be an artificial satellite powered by some kind of technology.

But the size!

It did not seem conceivable to me that this was a ship, dozens of times larger than our own Enterprise.

Once it was before our eyes, however, our suspicions were confirmed.

Now this enormous torus with a diameter larger than 10km is before us.

Bones calls it "The Drifting Ring".

However, "The Ring" is hurtling toward Klingon territory. This is our pretext, and we have no way of knowing how they’ll react. We must investigate and stop the Ring.

And we must do it as quickly as possible...
