Most SFB players do not realize that it was not until the Andromedans were defeated that Star Fleet finally figured out who they were, where they came from, and what they wanted. Four decades of battles against the Andromedans were based on battle reports, guesses, calculations, estimations, and (it was said) a Ouija Board. Star Fleet Intelligence (not to mention the intelligence services of other empires) was constantly issuing new guesses as to what Andromedan ships were in service and what new ones could be expected in the near future. Star Fleet Intelligence assumed that since other empires had improved their fleets with refits, new designs, old hulls expanded with new sections, alternative weapons, fighters, bombers, gunboats, and even X-technology, that the Andromedans would also make the same innovations. This book includes a collection of these guesses, predictions, estimations, and extrapolations, presented as rules for new weapons and sixty new ship designs. It also includes the alternative timeline discovered by the Darwin, and the historical campaign by which the Andromedans destroyed the Lyran Democratic Republic.

C3A News! After a Board of Directors meeting, it was decided to release SFB Module C3A on e23 on June 1. This is a one-time decision and shouldn't be taken as a precedent for future products. Steven Petrick has worked with the art department and an additional decision has been made. Released simultaneously will be a new product -- a PDF of the counters (1/2 inch and megahex) that are appropriate for C3A use. I'll let people know when these are available.

Bought C3A and the FedCom RRB v6 at the same time, hope to see more e23 releases soon.

What with going to Origins, we've focused on getting things ready for that. It'll probably be after July 4 before we get anything else up on e23.
