System
There are three possibilities for system: Decipher, Star Trek Adventures, or Hero. The initial plan was to use Decipher because it is familiar and it works well enough. There are reasons to consider the others, however. Star Trek Adventures was made for this, but our testing did not engender a lot of confidence. It is possible that it has been improved since then. Hero we have used a lot, and it allows us the ability to simulate just about anything pretty well.
Theme
On a high level this is a mission of exploration, but I plan to have something a bit more specific at play as well. Some potential 'missions' are presented here. Whichever one resonates most with the players will be chosen.
Settlement
The primary purpose of the mission is to explore the Expanse with an aim toward finding suitable planets for settlement or terraforming. These planets would be for Federation settlement.
Scientific Study
The primary purpose of the mission is to further the scientific understanding of the anomalies which inhabit the Expanse.
Tactical Advantage
The primary purpose of the mission is to explore the Expanse to find any areas which may be exploited for tactical advantage against any enemies of the Federation.
Cultural Enrichment
The primary purpose of the mission is to study the cultures who live and lived in the Expanse, in an effort to increase understanding of as many disparate cultures as possible.
First Contact
The primary purpose of the mission is to make first contact with new cultures and species with an aim toward finding and cultivating new members for the Federation.
Secret Mission
The players are unaware of the true nature of the mission, though it may become clear over time.
