Her first command was ending in disaster.

Released in November 2001, this issue is full of good information for Star Fleet Battles, Federation & Empire, Star Fleet Battle Force, and Prime Directive and includes two gripping stories.

HISTORY includes "First Blood" by Shelley Stuart, in which a Federation frigate is in a battle against a Romulan FireHawk and an Orion Battle Raider. "Not Good Friends" by Scott Moellmer is one of the few to include X-ships from the Inter-Stellar Concordium and Hydran Kingdom, facing Andromedans. An article on the development of the standard small freighter completes the section.

COMMUNICATIONS continues as a department. This included service awards, notes for judges, 10 questions, after-action reports, an X-ship rules article, proposals, why, a definition of what we consider playtest, input guide, a template for SFB rules, humor, ask Admiral Growler, and Starline 2400 miniatures.

VENUES include Star Fleet Warlord, Star Fleet Command, Galactic Conquest, Play by Email, and SFB Online.

DATABASE remains the place for new SFB material, including new playtest rules for the Omega Sector particle splitter torpedo for the Vari, new Vari ships, new playtest rules for the Triangulum Galaxy, an Early Years update, Battle Group 700 (including some for the Omega Octant and simulators), Shipyard Report, new playtest rules and cards for Star Fleet Battle Force (and a scenario where you can use the deck you already have), an introduction to GURPS Prime Directive, deck plans for a Free Trader, information about Star Fleet awards and medals, and Brothers of the Anarchist.

SCENARIOS include five new ones (SL200-SL204).

TACTICS include Victory at Origins 2001 by Vince Weibert, an article on Maesron tactics, and nine pages of Term Papers.

The FEDERATION & EMPIRE section includes playtest rules for the Jindarians, official rules and rulings along with Q&A, a scenario, tactical notes, and playtest rules for colonial development and operational bases.

Star Fleet Battles: Module C2 -- New Worlds II Available from Multiple Sources

New Enemies, New Allies, New Ships, New Scenarios!

Meet the Andromedans, the Inter-Stellar Concordium, and the Neo-Tholians in this newly revised module. Both the rulebook and the SSD book have been updated in 2016; the counters remain the same.

The Andromedans are from the M31 Galaxy and their goal is to conquer the Milky Way. No one is their ally, yet they stand a good chance of meeting their goal. They bring terrifying new technology and weapons such as power absorbers and tractor-repulsor beams. Don't forget, they can displace themselves -- or your ship!

The Inter-Stellar Concordium is a union of five species who resolved their conflicts decades ago and assumed that warp-speed space travel automatically brought peace. Then they witnessed a battle between the Gorns and Romulans. The ISC built the most powerful navy in the Alpha Octant and decided to enforce peace -- by violence if necessary. Beware of their plasmatic pulsar devices!

Neo-Tholians are the second wave of Tholians to arrive in the Alpha Octant. They brought true warships with them, ships that once dominated their home galaxy. They use web casters to keep their enemies at bay.

The rulebook provides additional rules, ship descriptions, and scenarios for use in Star Fleet Battles. Matching ships are in the SSD books. You must have the SFB Basic Set in order to utilize this material. Most of the ships require the Advanced Missions set or the SFB Master Rulebook.

Cerberus Released as a PDF

Humans were ready to colonize the planet Cerberus. The problem? Cetians, a reptile-like species had arrived there first and didn't want to share! So on June 10, 2096, the human force arrived at Cerberus, ready to take over the planet. Can they do it?

Return to 1979 and try an exciting, two-player game of fast maneuvers and action, sure to excite new and experienced gamers of all ages.

Cerberus was the first game to cover combat over the entire surface of a planet. A new and unique system is used to depict the curved surface of the planet. The 108 multi-colored playing pieces depict the bases, spaceports, mobile battalions, and Special Forces platoons that landed and fought on Cerberus.

This was scanned from the best-available, second-edition copy and contains the rules and images of the counters and map.

Cerberus is now available as a PDF from these sources:

Women of the Zombie Apocalypse Now Available

Jean Sexton and Stephen V. Cole have collaborated to produce this short story. It is being released as a “pay what you want” title on DriveThru RPG, Wargame Vault, and DriveThru Fiction.

Two years after civilization fell, four women find themselves as servants, housekeepers, and harem slaves of the Protectors, the armed group of men who protect four walled settlements of Cromwell's Nation. They cook, they clean, and every night they are given to another Protector to satisfy his needs. Compared to the women in the settlements, the Women of the Protectors are better fed, do far less work, and endure far less risk of being killed by stinkers. Taking a different man into their beds every night is surely a small price to pay. Or is it?

This story may not be suitable for young teenagers.
