Welcome to Utopia Planitia!

By Jim Johnson, STA Project Manager

Art by CBS Studios, Inc.

I grew up flipping through the Franz Joseph Technical Manual and the previous versions of a Star Trek roleplaying game, especially FASA and Last Unicorn Games, and loved flipping through the supplements that detailed the many ships from Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force, the Romulan Star Empire, and others. They helped me see the ships as characters in their own right, much as the television shows presented the ship as key components of their series, vessels that were loved by their captains and crews (and erstwhile chief engineers).

In the spring of 2016, when I first joined the Star Trek Adventures team, I hoped the game would last long enough to someday release a starships supplement. The first chance to add more starships to the line was in The Command Division supplemental rulebook, which I developed and contributed writing to. During the development of that book I met Aaron Pollyea, the line’s resident starship designer. I love all the lore details and story starters Aaron adds to the spaceframe and starship descriptions, and hoped that we’d be able to tap him for more work on a dedicated starships book.

And that leads us to now, some five years later. We added a starships book to the production schedule and started developing the Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook in the fall of 2021. Aaron was the first writer I reached out to, building the book’s outline off a proposal he had sent me early in the life of the game line. I added several other regular STA writers to the team, including John Kennedy, Al Spader, and Michael Dismuke. Thomas Marrone, associate art director of Star Trek Online , provided the foreword to the book and a selection of STO ship lore and statistics.

And the art! I was able to reach out to my contacts from various other Star Trek licensees, including Thomas Marrone and Ben Robertson, as well as some passionate designers like Mark Rademaker, Tadeo D’Oria, and Bill Krause. With their help, and the assistance of the Modiphius art archives and the Paramount Global art library, I was able to include art for every spaceframe we could cram into the book’s page count.

With this passionate crew on my team, we set to work, and are now proud to present the table of contents for Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook :

Believing this book would be a great opportunity to connect with non-gamer Star Trek fans as well, we wanted to do something special, and decided to provide two separate collector’s editions (designed by Modiphius’s own Stephanie Toro), along with the standard art cover edition (standard cover art by Tobias Richter). So with no further ado, feast your eyes on the three cover options:

A Fan Site for the Star Trek Adventures RPG by Modiphius

Review of Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook by Joseph Harney

By Joseph Harney

Like any good book review, let’s start by judging the book by its cover. And wow, are these some gorgeous covers! Modiphius has gone the extra mile and included both a TNG and TOS era collector’s edition cover, in addition to their Standard full wrap-around cover featuring a Constitution -class ship undergoing refit at the shipyards. Building on the fantastic Collector’s editions previously produced, the TNG era is a dark blue featuring the iconic Galaxy class ship, while the TOS era is a clean looking white with the Constitution class schematic foil stamped onto the cover.  Each will look absolutely amazing on your bookshelf, so you should just save yourself the trouble and buy both!

Opening the cover, you are immediately treated to a rogue’s gallery of top-down views of Federation starships from throughout the era, which continues on the back panel with even more ships to help players and GMs visualize these lesser-known vessels. Opening to the table of contents, I was immediately struck by how much content they managed to put into this 250-page book. In fact, we don’t even see our first space frame until page 95.  But don’t let that put you off, the first 3 chapters are packed full of tremendously useful information on how to bring your starships more fully alive in your game, and help bring you one step closer to Roddenbery’s vision that the ship is just as important a character to the story as any other crew member.

Chapter one is a brief history of Starfleet and its legacy from before the Federation was created through the 25 th century and beyond. In 12 pages the writers have somehow managed to give a brief history of 300 years of canon history, while still doing justice to each era of play.

Chapter two is all about life aboard a Federation starship. There is a great sidebar giving players a list of questions about their character’s daily schedule to help inject a bit more color into their story. Then the book talks about areas of interest on a starship, and what types of roleplaying scenes can likely take place.

There are several line drawings of bridge configurations that can easily be cropped from the pdf and dropped into a virtual tabletop program, which is a nice touch.

A section on Computers throughout the era of play and how they can be used to add drama to any scene is very much a welcome addition.

A couple of random game and martial arts tables let players come up with a near infinite combination of downtime activities for their character to engage in while not on duty. And no section on downtime would be complete without a random Holodeck Story starter table to allow your players to get up to photonic hijinx. 

Two great sidebars on FTL travel and moving at the speed of plot give GMs great advice on how to handle travel in their games without letting it bog down in minutia. Once done touring the ship, the next section is all about resource collection. Each section of the book starts with a quote from the franchise, and this one is my favorite quote from Janeway about Coffee and Nebulas.

The section starts by listing out 20 different canonically accurate resources and their futuristic uses. Each one is critical to some starship components, and securing these resources, especially in eras before replicator technology, could be the focus of entire stories or campaigns. Included in this section is a Mining and Resource Plot Component table, building on the Red/Blue/Gold plot components from the Core book and Division supplements. Accompanying the tables are some plot seed ideas and a mining hazard random table. The section has tips on how to incorporate a lack of resources as a plot point and suggestions on how to use negotiating for supplies in your game. Salvage and retrieval operations are presented as an extended task, and give some sample encounters any GM can either modify or drop into their existing story framework.

Chapter three moves onto ship design and begins with talking about the ship’s role in the game.

My second favorite table in the entire game appears here. It’s a table with a whole host of ship Idiosyncrasies that you can add to give it more character. There is a great bit on sentient ships and their implications, as well as how to make your ship a main character.

Then we move into the actual nuts and bolts of creating starships for the game mechanics. The book talks about how to create your own ship, echoing the process laid out in the core rules on taking spaceframes, and adding mission profiles and talents to get your final ship version. Then making shuttlecraft is discussed, as well as creating space stations. 

Section 3.50 has mission profiles you can select for your ship. In addition to new mission profiles, the design team thankfully included all the existing profiles from the core rulebook as well. This is done with talents, as well as spaceframes later on. This means that Utopia Planitia is a completely self-contained book, and you do not have to flip back and forth between this book and the core rulebook for all the various options for ship design.  This is by far the best “quality of life” improvement this book provides to GMs, as I know how difficult the struggle to contain page count in any sourcebook can be.

Section 3.70 goes into starship weapons, again pulling all the information from the core rulebook and other supplements into a single source.

Not much has changed for the weapons themselves, which I found to be slightly unfortunate. I had hoped the design team would have taken the opportunity to tweak some of the weapon types to make them feel more distinctive and address the discrepancy between energy weapons and torpedoes.  However, it’s not a big deal, and I will continue to use my house rules of significantly increased torpedo damage to give them the feel I think they have on the screen. This section also talks about mines and tractor beams, as well as a great sidebar on using a warp core as a weapon. Plenty of story ideas abound!

Next, we get to talents, and boy howdy are there a lot of them. 56 new and existing talents are presented, giving players and GMs a near infinite array of options to enhance a starship and make it unique to your group.

There are an incredible 55 spaceframes presented in this chapter, in glorious two-page spreads.

As I said in the beginning, we finally arrive at Chapter 4 and actual spaceframes. There are an incredible 55 spaceframes presented in this chapter, in glorious two-page spreads. Each spaceframe has a writeup on the overview and capabilities, along with the spaceframe stats itself, which is paired with a notable starship of the class that is fully fleshed out mechanically and ready to fly off the page and straight into your game.  Not to be outdone, there are 16 small craft and 10 space stations that get similar treatments.

Chapter 5 is all about gamemastering advice, including optional rules for jury-rigging repairs, building shuttles, crazy ship maneuvers, and space hazards. A great section on Diagnostics and Maintenance gives GMs a whole toolbox of ideas to toss complications at their players.  As has become the custom, this book concludes with 10 one-page mission briefs, all of which gave me thoughtful pause on how I could include them in my current game.

In conclusion, I would have been quite satisfied with a book that compiled all existing ship information from all currently published materials into a single, easy-to-use, reference book.  Instead, what we got was a tour de force on how the starship is a vital thing, the player’s home away from home, and its own character within a Star Trek Adventures story.  I could not be more pleased, and I cannot wait until I receive the physical copy that I pre-ordered immediately upon release.

I give Utopia Planitia a rating of Warp Factor 9.95. 

Continuing Mission has done so much to support STA that Modiphius wants to give some love back, and so we are pleased to offer this discount code,  CMISSION01 , which is a 10% off coupon for the STA Starter Set and usable on both the  Modiphius UK site  and the  Modiphius US site .

Joseph – great review!

Would like to see more regarding this statement:

“However, it’s not a big deal, and I will continue to use my house rules of significantly increased torpedo damage to give them the feel I think they have on the screen.”

Excellent!!

So because SOMEONE will want to know, I thought I’d add to this review by listing the full list of ships. Each ship has an “example ship” I’ll make note of any particularly exciting ones ships with an astirix beside their name come from non canon sources eaither novels or a video game. ships with a double astirix came from Star Trek online but where canonized with season 2 of Picard.

J-Class/Y-Class Warp Delta Daedalus 22nd Century Intrepid Type NX Class ( includes stats for Enterprise UESPA NX-01 as of 2161) Walker Shepard Magee Cardenas Hoover Malachowski Engle Nimitz Hiawatha Hermes Consisution (USS Enterprise NCC 1701 no bloody A B C or D) Antares freighter Crossfield (USS Discovery NCC 1031) Archer* Miranda (USS Reliant NCC 1864) Oberth Souyz Sydney Excelsior Centaur Constellation Ambassador Cheyenne Springfield Raven Type Niagara Galaxy (USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D) Challanger Freedom Nebula New Orleans Akira Nova Olympic Steamrunner Defiant (USS Defiant NX-74205) Norway Intrepid (USS Voyager NCC 74656) Saber Soverign (USS Enterprise NCC 1701 E) Luna (USS Titan NCC 80102) Promethus Vesta* Ross ** Inquiry (USS Zheng He NCC 86505) Reliant ** Sutherland ** Gagarian ** Oddessy * (USS Enterprise NCC 1701 F… here’s hoping I edit this later to add a second astrix!) Pathfinder

Nice list. But the Pathfinder comes from STO as well, and probably needs an Asterisk.

Utopia Planitia

I am excited!

Sorry in advance for the rework you’ll need to do on the builder app.

Yes! Prometheus class has finally arrived. Thank you!

Super cool and super awesome. Will totally buy this when it comes out and such. Starships and stations are awesome.

Space stations are perfect sector headquarters and game sites so having that be covered in whatever detail you guys are covering it is gonna be fun.

I guess having the Wells-class was a bit of an unreasonable expectation, but otherwise this looks awesome!

Unfortunately there are a couple of errors in the spaceframes. Will there be time to fix them before the book goes to print?

I can’t wait to order this. So happy to see STO ships in the book too.

No, but you can email any perceived errors to me and I’ll update the PDFs.

jim at modiphius.com ; make the subject heading clear, like [STA UP] Corrections

The deltas on the spine look like they’re mirrored in the collector’s editions… is that because they’re just mockups, and not actual pictures of the books? (I assume they’re mockups because the effect to make the shiny outlines on the front shiny looks more like a render than an actual reflection to me.)

absolutely amazing to have this book, am so happy to see the Oddessy… looking forward to seeing it on screen next year. The one thing that might drag down reviews of this book is the lack of Klingon Space frames. a handful of KDF space frames (such as the Mogh class Battle cruiser) would have been fun additions, but given the name is Utopia Planetia, I assume the focus is starfleet. with perhaps a future KDF ship supplement to come later

Good spot, they do seem to be mirrored. Hopefully it’s as you say - it’s just a mock up and it’s corrected in the actual copies.

Don’t know if there’ll be a non-Starfleet ships book. Have to see how this one does.

Just a mock-up error. The production files are correct. Some of the renders list “Starship Sourcebook” on the cover rather than the correct “Starfleet Sourcebook.” The latter is also in the production files.

I love it and all the rules within. Gives me plenty to work with. Almost bought both collector’s editions but I stopped myself and settled on TNG.

thats what I figured, maybe we’ll be able to get a “25th century” era book that covers picard, STO and has some ships in it, given STO starts with a war between starfleet and the Klingons I imagine there’s going to be demand. Speaking as a long time STO player, if you did a book and had to choose 4 Klingon ships to include in there I’d go with the Bortesque, Mogh, Vo’quv Carrier, and Matha Raptor. those are proably the most popular 25th century spaceframes for the KDF in game

So on another note, I found an “error” that states the eugenics where were in the 90s didn’t SNW eistablish that the eugenics wars where part of WW3? I’m guessing this was written before SNW came out and that the explination of “confused records” is staying but thought I’d raise this

I didn’t watch SNW yet, but I have watched PIC. There are hints that Khan Noonien Singh, who was part of the eugenic wars, was (part/offspring of a) a genetics project of Dr. Adam Soong between 1992 and 1997. While originating in the 90ies, the project might finally be used in WW3 (after 202x and prior to around 2060). In TOS 01x24 “Space Seed” there are, if I remember correctly, several on-screen mentions of the 90ies as the era of the Eugenic Wars.

So SNW establishing the Eugenics Wars part of WW3 is probably a ret-con (it definetly is a wonderful starting point of a pointless debate on timeline-continuity and this series not being part of that timeline/canon/whatever).

To make things worse, we have DS9 03x11 "Past Tense, Part I where Bashir, Dax, and Sisko accidentally travel to the 2020ies and land within a compound (called: “Sanctuary”) for homeless and/or unemployed people. Since it has been established that the Eugenics Wars killed a significant part of the human species, the mere existence of said compounds (which Sisko knew to be “normal” at that time) contradicts Eugenics Wars in the 90ies.

There’s also TNG 01x26 “The Neutral Zone” establishing that humans were (probably commercially) cryo-freezing recently died “in the late 20th century”.

yeah, SNW’s first episode gives us a fantastic speach by Pike that actually gives us proably the best and I’d say definative timline for WW3, the eugenics wars etc

worth watching although obviously spoilers. basicly it gives us some solid lore that actually builds on the Bell riots and addresses those issues.

The surface based facilities of the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in an alternate 2370

Utopia Planitia was a vast lava plain on the planet Mars . It hosted the surface structures of a starship construction facility, the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards , one of the Federation 's most extensive construction yards.

Utopia Planitia was built prior to 2069 . ( ENT : " Terra Nova ")

In the 22nd century , Max Gabl Raymond was born here. ( TNG-R : " The Neutral Zone ", okudagram )

In 2366 , Doctor Leah Brahms was living in Quayle Canals Northeast , Utopia Planitia Gardens . ( TNG : " Booby Trap ", okudagram )

Benjamin Sisko was stationed on Utopia Planitia between the death of his wife (at Wolf 359 ) and his posting on Deep Space 9 . ( DS9 : " Emissary ") While on Utopia Planitia, Sisko worked on the prototype USS Defiant – the first in what was to be a fleet of warships to defend the Federation from the Borg . After work on the project slowed, and design flaws became apparent, the project was shelved. ( DS9 : " The Search, Part I ", " Defiant ")

In 2370 , in an alternate quantum reality , a partially-constructed Galaxy -class starship was housed in the surface facilities of Utopia Planitia. ( TNG : " Parallels ")

In 2373 , the Doctor used one of Tom Paris ' holoprograms to take Danara Pel on a date . He drove a Chevrolet Bel Air up to the top of the hills overlooking Utopia Planitia and parked there, spending an evening there with her. Tom thought of this as the perfect date. ( VOY : " Lifesigns ")

Background information [ ].

Although never stated on-screen, Utopia Colony (itself possibly part of the Martian colonies ) probably was located on Utopia Planitia.

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia  (3rd ed., p. 538), the plain was "first explored by the automated space probe Viking 2 , which softlanded there on September 3, 1976, part of Earth 's first attempt to employ spaceflight in the search for extraterrestrial life."

The Star Trek Encyclopedia  (3rd ed., p. 538) notes that the landscape and city seen in " Lifesigns " was located at Utopia Planetia. It further noted:

"The city of Utopia Planitia in 'Lifesigns' was a matte painting by Dan Curry , based on designs by Anthony Fredrickson and Doug Drexler . The fact that the Enterprise-D was supposed to have been built at Utopia Planitia was inscribed on the dedication plaque for the ship located on the main bridge. A copy of the dedication plaque was included in a CD-ROM collection of art and literature assembled by the Planetary Society and was launched toward the surface of Mars aboard the Russian Mars 96 space probe , although the probe never made it out of Earth orbit due to a launch vehicle malfunction."

The painting of the surface facilities in " Parallels " was by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda . ( Star Trek Encyclopedia  (2nd ed., p. 21)) Asked if construction indeed was intended to take place on the surface of Mars, Okuda answered:

"Yes, that was the intent, although I like the suggestion that it might have been a training facility. It was something that Rick and I put together in Photoshop. I don't recall exactly who did what, but I remember that the upper image uses a bunch of simple paper models that we made for use as [...] generic futuristic city buildings for exactly this sort of image. Rick may remember more about this. I do recall that we wondered how the components would be brought into orbit, whether they'd be beamed up, hauled up by space elevator, or carried by a huge orbital tug [....] "It [surface construction] certainly would be difficult, and I personally think that it would be more likely that the major component assembly would be done in orbit. I believe that Rick felt this way, too. Still, impulse engines routinely accelerate starship masses (many tens, even hundreds of thousands of tons) to large fractions of the speed of light in very brief times. This suggests a propulsion technology many thousands of times more powerful than anything we have in the 21st century. Also, structural integrity fields would need to protect against these accelerations, which conservatively would exceed 1,000 gees . As a result, I'd contend that lifting major starship components into orbit from the surface of Mars would be well within the reach of Star Trek 's postulated technology." [1] (X)

In Sternbach's explanation of the painting, he suggested it to be a "systems integration simulator," adding, " the hardware seen on the surface could be the real vessel parts, which were probably only 20% filled with "stuff" and then lifted into orbit for final assembly. If not, then they are flight-quality hardware used as a functioning lab to make sure everything works as designed. " [2]
