Recap
Another skewed rendition of my Star Trek game. This mission was meant
to be long, but I didn't think it would be as long as it turned out to
be. In retrospect, I once again underestimated the time it takes to run
a large- scale battle, something I should have learned from BattleTech.
Still, I think it was fun and I almost killed all the characters.
Present were Krystal (leading), Clancy, Venor, Jon, Beltana and Gonar.
First off, most of the sector's ships had been relocated to the Romulan
border to help the Enterprise interdict the Romulans and prevent them
from interfering in the Klingon Civil War. Being one of the few ships
left, The USS Discovery was given the task of transporting ("medical
supplies!" quipped several players, as that seems to be a common use
for a starship) some Professor to Axanar.
A little background. Axanar, in the LUG Star Trek Universe, was a
planet of a warlike people. When first contacted by the Federation,
they saw this huge powerful empire they wanted to be part of. So they
conquered some nearby systems which would be used as gifts, the price
of admission into the Federation. Naturally, the Federation was aghast
and demanded that the Axanarians free those planets. Offended, the
Axanarians started a war with the Federation and if not for Garth of
Izar, the Axanarians might have won.
So that's how LUG portrays Axanar, which was given a brief mention in
one TOS episode. But since I was running a FASATrek module, I used
FASA's version of Axanar. Axanar was a planet deep in Federation
territory. A disastrous first contact resulted in a quarantine placed
on the planet and it's warlike but primitive people. Years later a
Klingon scout ship blundered on Axanar and the crew were proclaimed
gods.
