Note this is a brief test campaign for v2.4.0 and only has the setup post and first update.The FederationIn 2035, Earth was devastated by a global nuclear war. An invasion of the Russian Far East by China drew a nuclear response. Within a few days every nuclear power on the planet had been dragged into the conflict, or started their own. Conventional war continued on for a few months in a devastated world before the remaining nation states finally collapsed. A nuclear winter followed, reducing mankind to approximately ten percent of the pre-war population.
Civilisation survived, albeit with 19th century levels of technology, within scattered remnants of the predecessor states. In the decades that followed, as conditions improved and the embryonic new states started to expand, small wars still broke out over territory or resources. One state, known simply as the Federation, was more successful than other the nascent polities and expanded as a result of incorporating other territories through treaties, rather than conquering them. The new state used a Federated model to allow a high degree of local control, while the federal government set high level principles, protected the state and handled foreign policy.
A few decades after the establishment of the Federation, an event occurred that changed the course of human history. An alien ship, containing the battered survivors of another apocalyptic conflict, limped into Earth orbit, established communication and asked for sanctuary. While the other emergent nations threatened the aliens, fearing their potentially destabilising influence, the Federation welcomed them with open arms. In exchange for sanctuary, the aliens shared their history and the technology of their ship.
The aliens, originally from the planet Minos, revealed that they were once part of a large, multi-system civilization, which used sentient AIs to provide most of their needs. The Minosians led an idyllic existence, until the AIs modified their own programming, developed and built advanced warships, destroyed Minos, then systematically eradicated every Minosian colony world. The AI ships remained in orbit of the various colonies, watching over the ruins of the Minosian civilization. The alien vessel, an old survey ship without AI control, managed to escape the destruction and fled blindly into deep space. By the time it reached Earth, most of its systems were disabled through lack of maintenance, including the navigation computer that would identify the location of the Minosian worlds.
While the Minosian crew only had a very limited understanding of their own technology, as their civilization’s AIs had designed almost everything, Federation scientists did have access to the ship itself. Even in its damaged state, it was far in advance of the Federation, which had technology roughly equivalent to the pre-Fall 1930s. The Federation used the ship, plus whatever knowledge its crew could provide, to advance rapidly, learning the fundamentals of Trans-Newtonian technology and subsequently beginning the conversion of their industry.
While it could have used its new weapons technology to conquer its neighbours, the Federation maintained its policy of peaceful expansion. Other nations were invited to join the Federation and enjoy the benefits of a rapidly growing economy, a high standard of living and advanced medical care. The emergent nations, many undergoing constant changes in borders and governments, did not have the long histories and national pride of pre-war states. Their citizens were eager to join the Federation and did so via occasional referenda and more common rebellions. Some wars were fought, as hostile states attacked the growing Federation, but these were brief and one-sided. Within three decades of the alien arrival, the Federation was a global superpower. The few remaining nations that maintained theoretical independence were part of the Federation in all but name.
With Earth unified, the Federation turned its focus to space exploration. Aware of the potential threat from the Minosian AIs but without any intelligence as to their location, the Federation Council decided to build-up its space-based forces, known as Starfleet, in planetary orbit before committing to full exploration. Even so, the Federation was not prepared to abandon its guiding principle of peaceful expansion, so the Council set policy that all major ships must be capable of independent survey and exploration operations, while retaining a defensive capability.
Scenario NoteThis is a campaign based on Star Trek, but with different conditions to the ‘historical’ setup. In terms of period, this is 2150, with a situation similar to the beginning of Star Trek: Enterprise. There is no ‘United Federation of Planets’ and Earth is about to start exploring the galaxy, but with a larger and more capable fleet than in that series. The major alien races are also starting from their own home worlds.Campaign Setup•

The Columbia is the primary starship class of Starfleet, intended for a wide variety of different operations. Not all senior members of Starfleet shared the Federation’s idealism and optimism, so while the Columbia class abided by all the principles of Federation doctrine, it was also designed to fight if required. On that basis, the Columbia is warp-capable, well-armed, equipped with a versatile sensor suite and able to operate independently for up to two years.
The Columbia is armed with twelve standard and twelve point defence phasers, plus twelve photon torpedo launchers with ninety-six photon torpedoes available. Passive protection is provided by both shields and armour. The capacious hangar bay holds two armed shuttles, two security shuttles, two survey shuttles and two utility shuttles, giving the Columbia considerably flexibility in any situation. The standard loadout also includes six sensor probes, four sensor buoys and two geological survey probes. Eight Columbia class Starships are in service.

The Intrepid class, warp-capable but half the size of the Columbia, is a dedicated deep-space exploration vessel. It retains the same passive sensor suite and electronic warfare systems as its larger sister, although the range of the active sensors is forty percent less. Ten survey sensors have been added, split between geological and gravitational, while endurance has been substantially increased. The Intrepid is intended for missions of up to three years and has six times the range of the larger Columbia.
As the Intrepid is not intended for major combat operations, the armament is reduced to four standard phasers, four point defence phasers and a single torpedo launcher, which is intended primarily for probes and sensor buoys, although six photon torpedoes are carried. The passive defences have been reduced by sixty percent. The shuttle complement has been reduced from eight to four, with the Intrepid retaining two Kepler utility shuttles, one Asimov armed shuttle and a Heinlein security shuttle. Finally, as the engines are designed for endurance rather than speed, the Intrepid has a maximum speed of 2500 km/s, compared to 4000 km/s for the Columbia. Eight Intrepid class Starships are in service.

The Asimov is the only armed shuttle carried by Federation starships and is equipped with a single point defence phaser. The primary role is of the Asimov is light combat operations at a distance from its parent starship. This could involve running down unarmed or damaged enemy spacecraft where the mothership is too slow or too far away, or investigating suspicious contacts. The Asimov can also provide direct combat support to its parent starship, particularly when it is under torpedo attack.

Ground ForcesStarfleet has minimal ground combat forces due to its doctrine of exploration and peaceful expansion, plus a belief that combat will be primarily space-based. The only military formation is the Starfleet Security Force, which comprises 2400 Starfleet Security personnel, plus 480 Security Vehicles, which are light vehicles armed with a repeating phaser cannon. Six Security Forces are available. The majority of the ground elements available to Starfleet are intended for engineering and planetary surveys, with four Geological Survey Expeditions, four Xenoarchaeological Expeditions and eight Starfleet Engineer Detachments. In total, these non-combat formations comprise more than eighty percent of the ground forces available to Starfleet.
In the 2140s, there had been some discussion within Starfleet Command regarding the creation of surface-to-orbit weapons, rather than using defence satellites. However, the consensus was that in the event of hostilities this could lead to planetary bombardment and substantial loss of civilian life. Therefore the decision was made that any force capable of damaging hostile ships would remain in space.
HistoryOn January 1st, 2150, the President of the Federation Council gave the order for Starfleet to begin its programme of galactic exploration.
