SYNOPSIS

The adventure opens with the crew’s starship surveying a

habitable-zone Jovian planet whose third moon is Class-M,

with a fission-level civilization. Sensors detect a small, rickety

space capsule from that moon descending into the gas

giant’s atmosphere. The primitive capsule begins to break up,

sending out a distress call even though its homeworld is out

of touch behind the Jovian. The crew is obligated to respond

and rescue the astronauts, though they cannot be allowed to

return home afterward.

their people to rise up in revolt, and promising to use the shuttle’s

phasers and shields against the Modar.

Now that the secret is out, the crew must do two things –

retrieve their equipment and negotiate an end to the fighting.

But contacting the Modar will reveal that they believe the

crew initiated the revolt, since they assume the Pochai are

too passive and unintelligent to have done it themselves.

The lead astronaut, named Pakiren, explains that his species,

the Pochai, share their native moon Jinidar with another

species, the Modar. The small, weak Modar use the burly

Pochai as laborers, treating them as an inferior race with few

Pakiren attempts to use the shuttle to attack Modar forces,

and the Player or Supporting Character must decide whether

to try to stop him. If they’re unsuccessful in convincing the

Pochai to stand down, the captain and crew will need to

find another way to force the shuttle down and retake it

rights. This is why the space capsule was so poorly designed

for its mission – its crew was considered expendable.

The captain assigns a Player to help the rescued Pochai

adjust to the starship. Pakiren and his colleagues find it

and the weapons. After that comes the greater challenge of

negotiating peace between the two species.

vastly preferable to their oppressed lives back home. Seeing

different species working together as equals is paradise for

DIRECTIVES

In addition to the Prime Directive, the Directives for this

mission are:

them. Pakiren begs the captain to bring this vision to Jinidar,

and don’t understand why Starfleet directives don’t permit it.

So Pakiren appeals to various members of the crew in

private, urging them to defy regulations and help him help his

people. If a Player Character is convinced by his arguments,

they will help the Pochai steal a shuttle and return home,

as well as stealing weapons from the ship’s armory; if not,

Players can take over Supporting Characters among the crew

who will be convinced to help Pakiren. The security chief (or

another Player Character) has a chance to stop the Pochai

from stealing an armed shuttle, but fails.

Starfleet Directive 010: Before engaging alien species

in battle, any and all attempts to make first contact and

The Gamemaster begins this mission with 2 points of

The captain must take the ship to Jinidar under stealth, hoping

that the situation can be resolved with minimal contamination.

But the Pochai are broadcasting across the entire moon, urging

ADAPTING THIS MISSION TO OTHER ERAS

This scenario presumes a setting in 2371, yet it can easily be

adapted to any time frame in which the Prime Directive is in

effect. The one exception is the

Star Trek: Enterprise

era (the

2150s-60s). In that time frame, the Prime Directive does not

If the Players’ crew in the

Enterprise

era includes MACO Player

yet exist, so Starfleet crews would be free to make contact

with Jinidar. However, Earth Starfleet is not a military force;

its personnel see themselves as explorers and scientists, and

should thus be reluctant to embrace a military solution. This

scenario would play out according to the Optional Alternate

Story Sequence detailed on page 011.

Characters or Supporting Characters, then those MACOs might

be more willing to side with Pakiren and help the Pochai fight

for freedom. This could lead to some lively debates between the

Starfleet and MACO characters.

Additionally, keep in mind that transporters are uncommon and

unreliable in the 22nd century, and grappling lines are used

Earth Starfleet ships are not heavily armed. Even the limited

armaments (phase pistols, particle rifles, and stun grenades)

available for the Pochai to steal could be game-changing on

instead of tractor beams. This could affect the initial rescue

sequence to a minor degree. When showing the Pochai around

the ship, keep in mind differences in technology in different

eras. For instance, the 24th century uses replicators; the 23rd

uses food synthesizers and an automated dumbwaiter system;

and the 22nd uses protein resequencers and preserved food

stores, or a live chef if the ship is large or prestigious enough.

Also, 22nd-century ships have water showers instead of sonic

showers.

Jinidar, but losing them would leave the Starfleet crew badly

under-protected, providing an additional incentive to deny

Pakiren’s request and to recover the weapons after their theft. If

shuttle combat comes into play in Act Three, keep in mind that

Earth Starfleet shuttlepods are only lightly armed with plasma

cannons and shielded only with polarized hull plating, which

could make them more vulnerable to Jinidarian artillery.
