Re: Star Trek: The Rebel Generation
On the other hand, since in one TNG episode we find out that all different possibilities have their own universe, anything that is "canon" may have occured in a parallel universe... So no need to feel like you aren't authoritative no matter what you do.. hehehehe

Re: Star Trek: The Rebel Generation
This is a alternate universe then? There was a Star Trek Rouge's sourcebook I used to have made by decipher, you could see if you can find that somewhere...?

Re: Star Trek: The Rebel Generation
Of course, the real ick factor comes from how easy it is to mistake the parody for the original. On the surface, everything looks exactly the same; it's only when you dig beneath the surface that things get disturbing.
And here's the real trick: no one's really looked beneath the surface of TNG, either. For the most part, we essentially take the writers' word that it's an idyllic world. This concept has the most impact if it's so close to the original that what's true for the parody might possibly be true for the original as well. In effect, apply the lessons of GURPS Illuminati to the Star Trek franchise. |

4. Biotechnology. Officially, there are a lot of restrictions on what can and can't be done in the Federation. No cloning, no supersoldiers, no attempts to enhance people's brains. As far as the public at large is concerned, biotechnology goes so far as ensuring their offspring don't have a troublesome gene for muscular dystropy or an antisocial personality. As a result the most common genetic Disadvantage among Earth humans is Selfless. Of course, in secret the Federation does have covert projects trying to produce superspies, psychics to order and genius intellects but they are legitimately paranoid about genetic upgrades and hedge them around with restrictions to make sure they don't get out of hand, as well as keeping their existence very secret. Black market upgrades scare the heck out of them, since they don't have the carefully prescribed personality traits and indoctrination that that try to ensure their little supermen won't get out of hand. Even with their own projects, more than one germline has been terminated because some of them started to look a bit unreliable.
