This is basically a special forces team that goes out on away missions and performs special boarding operations and covert insertions etc. In fact the main focus of the RPG setting is the Prime Team. You'll find the setting a bit more military oriented.
#Prime directive rpg review maori series#
If you're not familiar with the Starfleet Universe, it's pretty much loosely based on the original series (and some bits from the 70s animation) but they're contractually cannot make any direct references to the main characters or events of the original series, the movies or any of the spin-off series, so they made a universe all to their own which is pretty much set with one war after another (which works as a good setting for a wargame like Starfleet Battles). However there's enough there a creative game master could easily make it work for a canon TOS setting. I have the the d20 Modern version.Īnyways, the setting is based in the Starfleet Universe which is not the canon Star Trek Universe. The more recent versions use the d20, d20 Modern, GURPS, and there's plans to have a Savage Worlds, West End Games d6, and a Hero System version as well. I think it was more or less based on percentile dice. Well there's several versions of Prime Directive out there.įirst there was the original, which had it's own game mechanics.
