Federation Commander

Captain's Log #13 Now Available from Multiple Sources

"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.

Join us for Captain's Log #40 and discover "The Nature of the Beast"! The USS Colin Powell, a Federation GVX survey ship, has encountered the first known space manta, a dangerous monster.

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.

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.

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. We didn't even have a company logo yet, and just put the initials in a red box on the cover! Because this issue had to go to press as soon as possible, it has a lot more fiction than normal (and three Victory At articles).

HISTORY includes three fiction stores: A Dragon's Story, Romulan Raid, and A Friend in Need. Also included are a military rank comparison chart and some universe notes.

DATABASE (which became the commo section in later issues) includes conventions, an introduction to the new company, input guide, After Action Reports on recent products, Command the Future (schedule of future releases), Proposals Board, Why, Ten Questions, Ask Kommodore Ketrick, and Humor.

UNIVERSE (which later became venues) has articles on Star Fleet Warlord, the Paravians in SFB, the Vudar in SFB, and revised tournament ships.

SCENARIOS includes seven new ones (SL167-SL173).

TACTICS includes an article on Andromedans, term papers, Patrol victory at Origins 94, Victory at Eurogencon 95, Victory at Origins 96, The Andro Conspiracy, and Ask Uncle Ardak.

FEDERATION & EMPIRE includes news, Q&A, plans for new product development, combat trials, the Militant ISC option, Tactical Notes, Hydran Liberation Scenario, a preview of the Admirals rule, and the map for Sector G.

TWELVE NEW SHIPS include the Klingon C4 and F4, Orion early destroyer, Federation early frigate, four Federation ships built as hybrid carriers (Hydran Style!), WYN version of a Klingon D5 and Kzinti CM, Hydran carrier group SSD, Lyran war cruiser scout, Romulan and Gorn light dreadnoughts, Andromedan Conquistador-mauler and X-technology Python.

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.

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.)

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.

"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.

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.

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.
