Mission Briefs: Cold War

Mission Briefs: Cold War is a collection of Star Trek Adventures roleplaying scenarios published in November 2023. Each scenario is one page long and focuses on the cold war period between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.

Description[]

The later 23rd century was a dynamic period when bold Starfleet captains and crews waged a cold war with the Klingon Empire and other polities across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants while also conducting Federation business across the known Galaxy. Ships and crews were often pushed to their limits while attempting any number of missions, from exploring new worlds, encountering new civilizations, or endeavoring to avoid sparking off a war.
