Star Trek Deep Space Nine

Dr_Bombadil

Deep Space Nine is a space station near the planet Bajor, built by the imperialistic Cardassians during their long, brutal occupation of Bajor. After liberating themselves through a guerrilla war, the Bajorans invite the United Federation of Planets to jointly administer the station. The station is renamed Deep Space Nine, and a mixed Starfleet and Bajoran crew is assigned to manage it, led by Commander Benjamin Sisko. Set in the run-up to the Dominion War, Stardate 49962, roughly the year 2372.

Author's Note: I thought I'd put a bit of Star Trek up here. DS9 is a good place to start in the universe, it's a great hub area to work out of, and has some of the best characters in the Star Trek universe. I've just started watching DS9 again on Netflix, I've not seen it since the 90s - the visuals are dated, but the characters and plot still hold up. There's a wealth of Star Trek info on the net, and most AI's know it, so I thought it would make a great Friends and Fables project! It's still a work in progress, but the lions share of what I want to achieve is there. I may be off with some details, but precise locations and timelines are always "malleable" in the star trek universe! The scenario starts in Quark's Bar, with Commander Sisko, Chief of Security Odo, and Major Kira Nerys in a heated "discussion" with Quark, a Ferengi bar owner. What they are "discussing" will differ every time thanks to the wonders of AI. A missing ship? An illicit relic being smuggled by a member of a regional crime syndicate? A threat against a visiting dignitary? I've experienced a few! Obviously there are still some beta issues with Friends & Fables, but when all goes smoothly you cannot top it, short of sitting round the games table with some buddies. *Star trek leans more toward the narrative, I suggest turning off turn-based combat and enabling "Hide Unknown Entities" in settings, this hides the names and locations of NPCs and characters you haven't met yet, adding a layer of mystery to the narrative, because names aren't used in descriptions until you learn them!*

Description

A medium sized stealth ship known for its ruthless tactics and advanced technology. Often employed by space pirates or clandestine factions who stalk the more isolated trade lanes, this vessel is equipped with stealth fields that allow it to approach unsuspecting targets undetected, and it can teleport an assault team of up to 6 individuals aboard if the target's shields are down. The captain may issue demands for surrender pressuring their target ship to give up cargo or important passengers. Like all starships they are equipped with energy shields that prevent damage or hostile boarding via teleporter. They are equipped with replicators, life support systems, and teleporters to make sure its crew is well supported. The names of the ship, crew, and Captain vary from ship to ship. It is possible to board this ship via teleporter to steal cargo, take passengers and crew hostage, liberate captives, or take over the ship. It is possible to negotiate with the captain.

Actions

Phasers

Can fire powerful phaser beams at a target

Shields

The ship has energy shields that protect it from damage and boarding. Shields have to be reduced to 0% to be able to physically damage the ship, or teleport aboard. 500 hitpoints is equivalent to 100% shields.

Stealth Field

Can activate its stealth field, granting it advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks and making it difficult to detect until it attacks. It can only function for short periods before overheating the ship.

Teleport

Can teleport people and objects to and from other ships, for diplomatic, trade, or combat purposes. This can only happen if the shields are lowered or disarmed on both ship
