Termination: 1456 by Dale L. Kemper.

Dale L. Kemper was a FASA writer of TOS roleplay modules, magazine articles and a short story in the 1980s.

Kemper served as Stardate Magazine's first editor-in-chief. He wrote or cowrote many of the Federation starship profiles showcased in that magazine's Jaynes Ships of the Galaxy column, in particular the Larson-class destroyer. He coauthored the Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update and was sole author of FASA RPG module: Termination: 1456.

In 1989, he released background information in a gaming magazine for ten Organian Treaty Zone planets not far from "the Triangle" that had been developed for an unpublished module.

Outside of Star Trek, Kemper authored a number of resources for FASA's BattleTech, a GURPS atlas, and an adventure module for FASA's Renegade Legion. He also wrote the Traveller novel "Force of Destiny" in 2003.
