"Service in Star Fleet is two years of boredom and an hour of stark screaming terror."

Captain's Log #13 compiles the best of the material from the old Nexus Magazine.

"The Glory of the Heroes" is about a Federation base that is overwhelmed by a Romulan attack.

Information (which is now the Communications section) includes Convention winners, Origins reports from 1984-1987, staff awards, Klingon battlecruisers, Why, proposals board, Kommodore Ketrick, Ten Classic Questions, Speeding up SFB, and how BPV works.

Scenarios include (SP1701) Carrier Escorts, (SP80) Attack!, and (SP222) Eradication.

The tactics section includes Term Papers, Frigate Squadrons, In the Heat of Battle, and Ask Uncle Ardak.

The Academy compiles the classroom sessions (the professor asks questions of cadets with names suspiciously like the guys on the BBS) including the first session, Spencer's Gambit, Captain K, Expanding Spheres, Plasmas, Cloaks, Drones, Andromedans, the Coalition Brotherhood Banquet, Sending Gerard Home (Orion Tactics), Webs, the ISC, Mid-Term Review, and The Tactics Board.

Federation & Empire includes Q&A, Tactical Notes, Combat Missions, The ISC in F&E (18 years before they finally got published in ISC War!), and two scenarios.

Captain's Log #13 supports Star Fleet Battles and Federation & Empire.

The General War was the largest and longest conflict ever fought in the Milky Way Galaxy. Volumes have been written on every aspect of the war; this brief outline is intended as a general guide for further research into the subject.

When this 96-page issue was published in June of 1995, nobody knew that Task Force was in deep trouble and would soon be reduced to a very dim light before going completely dark. The format of the time was 96 pages "plus something" and the something in this issue was a sheet of extra tournament counters.

HISTORY includes "A Brief History of the General War," as well as information about the Galactic Intelligence Agency's awards, Seltorian rank structure, and the Star Fleet report on Kumerian's Red Fleet.

DATABASE (which became the commo section in later issues) includes conventions, rated aces, Input Guide, Why, Proposals Board, Kommodore Ketrick, After Action Review, Command the Future, several rules examples, Battle Force 500, a scenario workshop, Ten Questions, humor, and a play aid for planetary invasions.

UNIVERSE (which later became venues) includes Arcturians in Prime Directive, new missions for Star Fleet Missions, an article on miniatures, reports on Star Fleet Warlord, and background on artist Dan Carroll.

SCENARIOS includes 10 new ones (SL157-166.)

TACTICS includes information about terrain, information about mine warfare, Term Papers, Victory at Origins 94, and Ask Uncle Ardak.

FEDERATION & EMPIRE includes Q&A, Tactical Notes, a Federation play aid card, the original F&E combat system, Seltorians in F&E, and a scenario about the Eastern Theater.

New ships include fast cruisers for the Federation and Klingons, heavy destroyers for the Kzintis and Lyrans, six cadet ships, and Federation squadrons for new strike carrier group and a new light cruiser squadron.

A special feature was the supplemental tournament countersheet; an image of it is included with the PDF.

Mgroth's first true memories were of the stars.

This 1999 issue marked the birth of ADB, Inc. as the publisher of the Star Fleet Universe. It was 112 pages long.

INTRUDER UNIT LOCATED. THIS UNIT ENGAGING.

This October 1999 issue showed that the new ADB, Inc. had hit its stride as the publisher of the Star Fleet Universe. It was 112 pages long. We finally had a company logo (which did not change for 12 years).

HISTORY included the fiction story "Another Point of View" about Kzinti-Federation relations. Also included was an article on Romulan military ranks and one on Lyran politics.

VENUES appeared for the first time as a new chapter to cover things outside the main published games. This time there were articles on Star Fleet Warlord, Play-by-Email, Galactic Conquest, SFB Online, and Starfleet Command, all things that have appeared in the Venues chapter of every subsequent issue. Also included was a Victory At article by Sandy Hemenway about a tournament held on SFBOL.

This issue included an update for the Vudar, an article on Prime Directive, the new Yitlian warrior species, the return of the Starline 2400 miniatures, Battle Force 600, an article on the Omega Sector, a short story from Omega, and the Brothers of the Anarchist (the first of what became a very long series).

Every Star Fleet ensign dreamed of this moment: command of a starship.

COMMUNICATIONS continued as a department. This included conventions, tournaments, awards, After Action, Command the Future, Dirty Little Secrets of Mail Order, Input Guide, Proposals Board, Why, Ten Questions, and Ask Ketrick. (Some of these were elements that moved to Database in later issues.)

VENUES included Star Fleet Warlord, Play by Email, SFB On Line, Galactic Conquest, and Star Fleet Command.

DATABASE remained the place for new SFB material, including articles on the Omega Sector, Shipyard Report, the Uthicki (a new Magellanic empire), Battle Force 600, an example of black hole movement, new stuff for Prime Directive, Brothers of the Anarchist, and Murphy's Laws of SFB.

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.

NEW SHIPS for SFB include Early freighters and civilian base station; small medical freighter with a ducktail; large freighter with skids and ducktail; Klingon captured Federation heavy cruiser; Vari (Omega) command cruiser, torpedo cruiser, wing cruiser, and torpedo frigate; and Imperium (Triangulum) heavy cruiser, light cruiser, destroyer, and frigate.
