DescriptionThis game takes an alternate timeline from the Star Trek Next Generation episode "The best of Both Worlds" in which the Borg attempted to assimilate Earth and the Federation using Locutus (Picard as a Borg). However, in this timeline, the Enterprise is unsuccessful in stopping the Borg as was their valiant ramming of the Borg cube and autodestructing their vessel. Earth was assimilated in what is now known as A-Day throughout the alpha-quadrant. Federation forces did their best to assist the civilian populace to escape and distracted Borg Cubes and attempted to destroy construction of new ones but ultimately trillions of Federation citizens were assimilated and the Borg are everywhere. Battle Group Omega, designated such as the very last formal Federation Battle Group was sent into the Badlands. The Badlands was the main hiding area of the Maquis and it borders between Federation space and the Cardassian Union. The area is characterized by constant plasma storms and funnel clouds (vortexes which can suck in huge quantities of matter into its center to be crushed and then spit back out again). For the casual Star Trek viewer, only information from ST:TOS and TNG is of relevance to the game (they were the best anyway, right?). Players take on a role of a post-apocalyptic Star Fleet. Not quite the happy contentedness and idealism of the television show. These characters have lived through devastation and survived to the other side. I hope that I've made this game VERY different from the typical star trek rpg. Please take a look!
