STAR TREK ADVENTURES 2274
TECHNOLOGY & TIMELINE
The big “Three” (Or Four) technologies of Star Trek are:
1. Anti-Matter Power
2. Warp Drive
3. Transporters/Replicators (Based on the same tech.)
The first two as of 2018 are at least theoretically possible, the third is still purely in the realm of science fiction.
STAR TREK ADVENTURES RPG roles which is the backbone of the 2274 campaign breaks up technology into four gaming periods.
1. EARLY 2150 to 2239: Archer and the USS Enterprise NX-01
2. STANDARD 2240 to 2299: Dis, TOS and their Movies.
3. ADVANCED 2300 TO 2400: NG, DS9, and Voyager.
4. SUPERIOR 2400+: STO and beyond.
All of the big “Three” (Or Four) technologies of Star Trek are present in all four periods to varying degrees. Using Warp Drive as an Example:
EARLY Warp Drive is limited to about WARP 5.49
STANDARD Warp Drive utilizes Dilithium focused warp fields so ships can reach speeds up to WARP 9.97
ADVNACED “TRANS” Warp Drive utilizes a “transporter” system to lengthen the warp field allowing speeds of WARP 10 to 19
SUPERIOR “Slipstream” Warp Drive can reach WARP 30 +
The Time Line for this STA campaign is 90% Star Trek cannon, I had to add a little from the SFB Universe, the Animated Series (which may OR may not be cannon) and several bestselling ST books.
50,000BC Or So in Earth’s Greco-Roman Calendar The Iconians destroy all the Star faring races in the Milky Way Galaxy before disappearing them selves.
4000BC Or So in Earth’s Greco-Roman Calendar The Vulcans developed Warp Drive and expanded out into the Alpha and Beta Quadrants forming the Vulcan Star Empire. Their main competitor was the Gorn Empire.
301-399? Sometime in Earth’s 4th century AD, Vulcans emerged from their violent tendencies and civil wars under a philosopher named Surak, who advocated the suppressing of emotion in favor of logic. This period was known as the "Great Awakening", this caused a collapse of the Vulcan Star Empire. The Vulcans cease all Star flight for about 1000 Earth years. Many of their former colonies are lost in this period.
400 to 850ish Earth’s Greco-Roman Calendar The Fek'Ihri, the ancient enemy of Kahless the Unforgettable came to Qo'noS “From the Stars” and were the foot soldiers of the Klingon Dictator Molor helping him conquer all of Qo'noS. Arround 850 AD Kahless defeated them and Molar and banished them to to Gre'thor.
1301-1399? Sometime in Earth’s 14th century AD, a star faring race known as the “Hur’q” flood through the Alpha and Beta quadrants wiping out many of the star faring races. After destroying the Gorn Empire, the Hur’q were finally stopped at Qo’noS by the Klingons using ships left them by the Fek'Ihri.
"
Hur'q" was a Klingon word meaning "outsider," and was the name given by the Klingons to a species from the Gamma Quadrant which invaded and plundered Qo'noS, were defeated by the Klingons and then returned to the Gamma Quadrant.1467 Vulcans have returned to Star Flight and make contact with the Newly formed Klingon Empire who were using a mix of refurbished “Fek'Ihri” and "Hur'q" star ships.
