Federation Commander

Star Fleet Battles: Stellar Shadow Journal #1 Is Now Available from Multiple Sources

Improbable History, Impossible Technology, Unknowable Species, Unbuildable Ships, and More!

This is the exciting new magazine of everything that never happened in SFB but was fun so we printed it anyway!

Improbable History: Klingon Commander Tak Katak built a career on aggression, daring, and outright murder. Plus, Romulan Republicans target the corrupt praetor in "Assault on the Imperium."

New Paradigms: The heavy gunboats that could never be built are more deadly than you realized.

Far Empires: Can the Peladine resist conquest by the ferocious Lyran Far Stars armada?

The Mad Scientist's Workshop: Find out about the warp gyroscope, enhanced proximity fuze, plasma scatter gun, long-range bolts, starburst plasma, and the black hole asteroid gun.

Olivette Roche scared everyone with a show that presented a ship that could copy your own weapons and shoot them right back at you! Simulator Cinema sends B-24, B-25, and B-17 bombers to destroy your battle station.

Shipyard of the Bizarre has ships that never existed in the Star Fleet Universe. Here you will find the Federation Flatbed, Klingon D17 battlecruiser, Romulan SkyHawk-K, Kzinti command carrier, Gorn sector control ship, Lyran Quad-Cat new heavy cruiser, Andromedan Emulator, Maesron battleship, and Andorian Early dreadnought.

This product adds new game play material for Star Fleet Battles. You must have the SFB Basic Set Rulebook (or the Master Rulebook) to use this material. Some material in the product will also require other SFB products. The material for Federation & Empire and Prime Directive requires those games.

This is an odd post. I bought Stellar Shadow journal #1 from E-23 (now warehouse 23) back in 2013. Was it withdrawn at some point and is now being re-issued?

What Jean is saying is that she just now added it to Drive Thru so it is now available from multiple sources.

Ah ok. Sorry for being a dunce.

And there are some folks who are new, so to them that fact it is on W23 is news, too.

Star Fleet Battles: Module S1 - Scenario Book #1 Is Now Available as a PDF

More than 50 Scenarios!

This exciting module for Star Fleet Battles adds 51 scenarios to the SFB game system. Scenarios are the meat and potatoes of the Star Fleet Universe, the place where history is told and battles are fought. Virtually all of the scenarios in this book are reprinted from the Commander's Edition; all of these were revised to meet the Captain's Edition rules. The layout of this PDF may vary slightly from the print edition as we went back to the old files and made the book searchable.

You will find general scenarios that happened regularly in many empires through the Alpha Octant. You may have to rendezvous with a repair ship that is under attack, raid a survey camp, destroy a pirate raider, or rescue a trapped freighter. Be alert for intruders on board your ship!

There are 31 historical scenarios including the Pleiades Turkey Shoot, The Cassini Incident, Strike at Rigel IV, Mutiny on the Demonslayer, and Border Incident. Discover the history of the Star Fleet Universe!

There are monsters here, too, from the alien artifacts Igneous and Death Probe to the Energy Monster and Arastoz. Can you defeat them?

How does a frigate captain become a cruiser captain? There is a frigate captain campaign included.

We have recreated the asteroid belt map in both B&W and color. These are both included.

You must have the SFB Basic Set to use this material. Some material may require other products, including Advanced Missions, Modules C1 and C2, Module J and Module K.

Battle Damage: Code Red Available in PDF

Finally an end to the tedious die rolling to resolve damage in Star Fleet Battles! Now you can use this fast and easy card system to resolve damage in a fraction of the time it took before. A deck of cards, using a one-hit per card system, provides an innovative damage allocation procedure which includes eighteen different critical hits.

Battle Damage: Code Red is a play aid for Star Fleet Battles, Designer's Edition. You must have Star Fleet Battles to use this play aid. While the cards do not reflect the actual damage your ship would receive if using the Damage Allocation Chart, some players have found this an interesting, faster addition to play.

The instructions have been retyped. There are images for either color or B&W card backs, along with the front of the cards.

Just purchased X1R, thanks for making it available. Being the completionist I am, is the digital X1 on the near horizon?

Monty, X1 would have to be brought up to current standards, so it is a ways off at this point.

Is there any chance of getting the R2 rulebook as a pdf?

R3 & R4 were released quite some time ago, but R2 seems to be destined to be forever waiting.

It depends on when Petrick and Leanna determine it needs updating. Sorry.

Star Fleet Battles Commander's Edition, Supplement #2 Available

"Sir, what is that? It is registering as tougher than our X-ship!"

"Lieutenant, that is a second-generation X-ship. Luckily, we aren't after the convoy it is protecting. Move out and report this to the admiral."

Long unavailable except in the second-hand market, we are releasing Supplement #2 in PDF. The buyer is reminded that the first-generation X-ships were heavily revised for the Captain's Edition of Star Fleet Battles. The second-generation X-ships presented here do not combine well with the ships in the later edition of SFB.

Star Fleet Battles Commander's Edition, Supplement #2 includes new rules, new SSDs, information about the "Trade Wars" era, six new scenarios, and a patrol campaign. Some existing scenarios and campaigns have suggestions for modification to use the new ships. Images for 108 counters are also included.

This has been scanned from the best available copy. You will need Star Fleet Battles Commander's Edition Volume I to use this material. Volumes II and III will be needed for some aspects. Please note that this title was designed by Mike Thompson.
