Mission Briefs: Ancient Civilizations

Mission Briefs: Ancient Civilizations is a collection of Star Trek Adventures roleplaying scenarios published in January 2023. Each scenario is one page long and focuses on the theme of ancient civilizations.

Description[]

The Galaxy is ancient beyond easy comprehension — on the order of a million times older than Human civilization. Uncounted civilizations have risen and fallen before the dawn of recorded history of any Federation world. While most of their remains have long since vanished, many have left ruins or artifacts that endure to the present. Other ancient societies live on, wielding technologies or mental abilities vastly beyond our own, though not always in a form recognizable to us. The discovery of these ancient civilizations, or their remains, offers immense potential for advancing Federation knowledge, but comes with great peril as well.
