Starfleet or Maquis
In 1995 the fourth installment of the Star Trek universe, Star Trek: Voyager made it's debut on television. The USS Voyager and it's crew are sent into the Badlands to search for a missing Maquis ship which carries an undercover Starfleet operative as part of it's crew. Struck by what the ship's sensors perceived as a 'coherent tachyon beam', the USS Voyager and it's crew found themselves stranded 70,000 light years from home deep within the Delta Quadrant.
Not alone in her fate, the crew of the USS Voyager soon discovered that the missing Maquis ship had indeed shared their fate and was also drawn to the Delta Quadrant by an enigmatic and technologically advanced alien being known only as "The Caretaker".
Faced with a 70-year voyage home to Earth, the crew must learn to work together and overcome challenges on the long and perilous journey home while also seeking ingenious ways to shorten the return voyage. With both Stafleet and Maquis crewmembers now calling the Voyager home, conflict will arise from friction between "by-the-book" Starfleet crew and rebellious Maquis fugitives forced by circumstance to work together on the same ship.
Have you ever watched Voyager and thought, 'why on earth did they do that? why didn't they do this?'
Well that's what we're going to do. The idea for the "Star Trek: Voyager RPG" is to take the very basic premise of the series (ie a Starfleet crew and a Maquis crew both forced by circumstance and fate to find some way to work together on the same vessel in order to survive the long, difficult, and dangerous journey home) and play out the game by our ideas, our storylines, and our own imaginations.
This game is to be considered an Alternate Universe, though we will allow what are typically considered 'canon' characters to be played. If you're interested in joining our group, visit:
