TNG-Era Star Trek Ships for Strands of Fate

Galaxy-Class Explorer for Strands of Fate

Probably the most difficult vehicle to write up for any game system will be the U.S.S. Enterprise-D. I’m impressed with how easy and comprehensive the stats in Strands of Fate were to create. Honestly, they’re almost as fun and simple as the ones in Star Trek Adventures, the game purpose-built for Trek gaming (which I still like, for the most part, don’t get me wrong).

I’d use these stats in conjunction with To Boldly Go, a Trek conversion for Strands of Fate, available here:

Danube-Class Runabout for Strands of Fate

My favorite Star Trek show is Deep Space Nine. As cool as the Defiant-class Escort is, the Danube-class Runabout is the undeniable workhorse of Starfleet. Small, fast, modular, tough, the Runabout is the perfect ship for a frontier location like DS9.
