I've had this mod on my mind since Mark Satchell and I put together the FEDERATION AND EMPIRE (FEDEMP) scenario for VGA Planets back in 1995.

While I got a charge out of doing an entire scenario from scratch, I prefer the "start your empire from a homeworld" aspect of standard VGAP games.

I put together the StarFleet Battles (SFB) race/ship mod within a year of FEDEMP being finalized - it was my best take on getting a VGAP Planets mod set in the Star Trek Original Series era.

But I really wanted to put together a mod that focused on the Next Generation & Deep Space Nine era. It took a while longer than I had planned (a LOT longer). But here it is!!

Since some of the races in AQ are different then the ones used in standard VGA PLANETS games, it is important to keep in mind which race has what special abilities (race abilities). We made sure the races that were the "same" as VGAP races (FED, GORN, ROMULANS, KLINGONS, etc ) stayed in there original race slot. These are the SFB race assignements with thier race abilities...

RACE DESCRIPTIONS and HULL SPECIFICATIONS

August 2009

Player 1 - The United Federation of Planets

The United Federation of Planets., or Federation, is a representative government of several spacefaring races, including Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, Rigelian and many other sentient races. The Federation's major strength is its versatile, robust economy - however, its idealist, pacifist tendencies are ill suited for a galaxy filled with other, more militant races. As a result, while it's Star Fleet has excellent individual ship classes, it is hard-pressed to protect its ever growing borders. 

RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  Super Refit (update tech of old ships)
-  2X income from planetary taxes
-  Crew bonus (weapons repaired in combat, shield boost)
-  Can clone captured enemy ships

*****************************************************************

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

OBERTH Scout - has special "BioScan" equipment installed capable of detecting native life on other planets. If the OBERTH's mission is sensor sweep this ability will be activated. The range of the native life detecting is the same as the sensor sweep range. The bio scanner on the OBERTH is be able to lock onto about 20% of all planets in range per turn. The BioScan will not tell you which race, if any, owns the planet. If a planet has twenty or more defense outposts, that planet will shield a planet from BioScan. 

DEMETER Terraformer - When in orbit over a planet, this freighter will make planets warmer until climate type 50 is reached.

FREYA Terraformer - When in orbit over a planet, this freighter will make planets cooler until climate type 50 is reached.

LOKI Destroyer - The LOKI Class ships have a Cloak Deactivation Device. The LOKI emits a tachyon pulse that causes all cloaked ships within 10 light years of its' position to come out of cloak. Cloaked ships within 10 LY of a LOKI before or after the ship movement phase will uncloak. Cloaked Federation and Gorn ships are completely immune to the effects of the LOKI. The LOKI must have fuel and less than 20 points of damage in order to decloak enemy ships.

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Alchemy Freighter -  Developed from a joint Federation-Klingon research effort, the advanced alchemy freighter will convert minerals into Neutronium at a rate of one unit of fuel per unit of any mineral that in placed in the starships cargo holds. This process requires neither supplies or megacredits to be performed. The only way to prevent the alchemy process from occurring is to have the starships fuel tanks full. If the tank is less than full the starship will convert enough minerals to fill it until it runs out of minerals.

Player 2 - The Gorn Confederation

The Gorn Confederation consists of three sentient reptilian/humaniod races descended from a common stock who have formed a single political unit. The Gorn Fleet is a small fleet composed of very tough, high quality ships. The Gorn first contact with the Federation was a conflict at Cestus III that was eventually settled by diplomatic means. The Federation and Gorn have worked well together since and the Gorn make extensive use of several Federation designs.


RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  Ship can take 150% damage before blowing up
-  2X ore extraction rate
-  The Lizard HISSSSSS! mission (stops civil wars)
-  Can clone captured enemy ships

*****************************************************************

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

Cloaking Ships: Two of the GORN warship classes - the SERPENT-Class Scout and the SAURIAN-Class Cruiser have Cloaking Devices.  The Gorn captured several older style cloaking devices during their numerous clashes with the Romulans. The Gorn Cloaking Devices were a direct result of a joint Federation/Gorn research effort to exploit cloaking technologies. The Federation developed an effective anti-cloaking device and installed it on the advanced LOKI-Class Destroyers.  Federation and Gorn ships using cloaking devices are immune to the effects of the LOKI Class Decloaking ships.

DEMETER Terraformer - When in orbit over a planet, this freighter will make planets warmer until climate type 50 is reached.

LOKI Destroyer - The LOKI Class ships have a Cloak Deactivation Device. The LOKI emits a tachyon pulse that causes all cloaked ships within 10 light years of its' position to come out of cloak. Cloaked ships within 10 LY of a LOKI before or after the ship movement phase will uncloak. Cloaked Federation and Gorn ships are completely immune to the effects of the LOKI. The LOKI must have fuel and less than 20 points of damage in order to decloak enemy ships. 

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Neutronic Refinery Ship -  The Neutronic Refinery Ship (NRS) can convert minerals plus supplies to neutronic fuel (neutronium).

Chameleon Device (RacePlus Ability) - If the RACEPLUS addon is in use, the T-REX BB and the GODZILLA CV have a "Chameleon Device" installed. The Chameleon Device allows your T-REXs and GODZILLAs to disguise themselves as other ship types when the device is active.  

Player 3 - The Romulan Star Empire

The Romulan Star Empire, while held back in the past by a technologically inferior fleet, have modernized by technology transfers, starting with the Klingon Empire and more recently through development of their own modern starships. This, coupled with their excellent intelligence gathering capability and their wide use of cloaking technology, make them a serious threat. 


RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  Cloaking ships
-  Super Spy Mission
-  Can change enemy planet Friendly Codes
-  Can clone captured enemy ships

*****************************************************************

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

Cloaking Ships:  All of the ROMULAN warships have a Cloaking Device installed.
- Two ROMULAN ships, the NOREXAN Class Battlecruiser and the D'DERIDEX Class Warbird have an advanced model of cloaking device - they do not burn any extra fuel to cloak as all other cloaking ships do. This advanced cloaking device also allows these ships to remain cloak in ion storms. 
- The LANORA ADVANCED SCOUT is fitted with advanced "gravitonic cloaking" technology derived from the Romulan NOREXAN and D'DERIDEX Class ships.  Placed on these much smaller hulls, the range and effectiveness of these SCOUT ships are effectively doubled.

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Neutronic Refinery Ship -  The Neutronic Refinery Ship (NRS) can convert minerals plus supplies to neutronic fuel (neutronium).

Transporter Bomb (RacePlus Ability) - If the RACEPLUS addon is in use, the WAR EAGLE CM has the ability to sabotage, or to transport a bomb onboard an enemy ship.  

Player 4 - The Klingon Empire

Klingons are aggressive, warlike humaniods with pronounced forehead and brow ridges. Their society is organized along extended family lines, and pride themselves on their sense of honor and martial skill. The Klingon Empire holds the singular distinction of having fought against every major empire it borders at one time or another. Contrary to popular belief, Klingons do not necessarily use force as their "first, last and only option", but will fight with enthusiasm and abandon if they feel the situation warrants. The Klingon Fleet is a capable, balanced fleet armed with an eye towards swift, decisive actions.


RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  Plunder natives and colonists for money and supplies
-  Can clone captured enemy ships

*****************************************************************

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

Cloaking Ships - Four Klingon Warships, the K'TINGA Class Cruiser, the K'VORT CLASS Cruiser, the B'RELL Class Scout and the VOR'CHA Class Attack Cruiser have a Cloaking Device installed. << The KLINGONS got cloaking technology from the ROMULANS in exchange for plans for their older D6 D'VISOR Cruisers ... both sides are convinced the KLINGONS got the much better end of that bargain.>>

Glory Device  - D'VISOR Cruiser - When the KLINGONS replaced their older D'VISOR Cruisers with the more advanced K'TINGA Cruiser, the older ships were refitted with a "Glory Device". When the D'VISOR explodes, it does 1 mine hit of damage to all ships at the same point in space. The glory device only does 10% of a mine hit to other Klingon enemy ships at the same location. If the explosion takes place over a planet it can also kill a large number of enemy colonists and natives as well as destroy objects on the ground, such as factories. Siliconoid, Reptiles, Bovinoids are immune to Glory Devices' effects. The Glory Device will kill ALL Amorphous life on a planet that occupies the same point in space as the exploding starship. This will cause all of the Amorphous natives to be converted directly into supplies at a rate of 1 supply unit per 1000 natives.

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Alchemy Freighter -  Developed from a joint Federation-Klingon research effort, the advanced alchemy freighter will convert minerals into Neutronium at a rate of one unit of fuel per unit of any mineral that in placed in the starships cargo holds. This process requires neither supplies or megacredits to be performed. The only way to prevent the alchemy process from occurring is to have the starships fuel tanks full. If the tank is less than full the starship will convert enough minerals to fill it until it runs out of minerals.

Boarding Parties (RacePlus Ability) - If the RACEPLUS addon is in use, the D7 CA has the ability to beam over boarding parties to enemy ships.

Player 5 - The Orion Syndicate

The Orion Syndicate is a loose cartel of adventurers, thieves, plunderers and cut-throats who's main objective is to line their pockets. Each of their ships tends to be uniquely armed, but are generally weaker than warships from any other race. While they normally cannot stand toe-to-toe with any other race in a stand-up fight, this is more than made up for by their unique expertise in boarding and capturing ships. So if they can't build have a ship that can hurt you, they'll steal one that CAN !!

RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  Rob enemy ships
-  3X crew kill when using beam weapons
-  Tow Capture beam

*****************************************************************

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

Cloaking Ships:  Four Orion warships have cloaking devices.
- The DWARFSTAR TRANSPORT has a standard cloaking device.
- The B'RELL SCOUT, a stolen KLINGON design, has a standard cloaking device.
- The Orion WANDERER and METEOR Class ships are fitted with advanced "gravitonic cloaking" technology stolen from the ROMULAN's Advanced Cloaking Program. Placed on the much smaller hulls, the range and effectiveness of the WANDERER and METEOR are effectively doubled.

Luxury Liner - The Luxury Liner is a pleasure starship used by the ORION and FERENGI. When there are clans on board this starship it will generate one megacredit per clan on board from gambling earnings.

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Neutronic Refinery Ship -  The Neutronic Refinery Ship (NRS) can convert minerals plus supplies to neutronic fuel (neutronium).

Crew Replacement (RacePlus Ability) - If the RACEPLUS addon is in use, the DWARFSTAR XPT has the ability to transfer clans to other ships to replace crew losses.

Player 6 - The Borg Collective

The Borg are race of cybernetically-enhanced humanoids. Originally from a remote corner of the Delta Quadrant (at far side of the galaxy), they have spread throughout the galaxy, "assimilating" other races and technologies along the way. Their large, geometrically-shaped ships are designed for specific missions - unfortunately, they have several huge ships designed specifically for dominating and assimilating any race they encounter.

RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  Assimilation of natives
-  Recover minerals and fuel from destroyed enemy ships
-  Ship repair self in space 10% per turn while stopped
-  Can clone captured enemy ships

*****************************************************************

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

Jem'Hadar Attack Ship - The Jem'Hadar Attack Ships have been refitted with a "Glory Device", similar to the same device on the Klingon D'VISOR Class Cruisers. When detonated (using ship friendly code "pop"), the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship  explodes, doing 1 mine hit of damage to all ships at the same point in space. The glory device only does 20% of a mine hit to other Dominion ships at the same location. If the explosion takes place over a planet it can also kill a large number of enemy colonists and natives as well as destroy objects on the ground, such as factories. Siliconoid, Reptiles, Bovinoids are immune to Glory Devices' effects. The Glory Device will kill ALL Amorphous life on a planet that occupies the same point in space as the exploding starship. This will cause all of the Amorphous natives to be converted directly into supplies at a rate of 1 supply unit per 1000 natives.

Jem'Hadar Warcruiser - The Dominion Jem'Hadar Warcruiser  has specially designed "Imperial Assault" capablilty - it has mass transporters that can transport huge number of assault troops simultaneously to an enemy planet. To perform an "Imperial Assault" an undamaged Warcruiser  needs to drop ten clans on an enemy planet. Once this is accomplished the planet will be captured. The only defense against this is actually damaging the starship before it can drop clans - any damage at all will prevent the "Imperial Assault" from working. This will work against all planets. This starship is immune to the planetary ATT and NUK friendly codes. The assault will destroy all defense outposts.

Dominon Probe - Based on their experience with wormhole effects, the Dominion have developed their own Hyper-Drive capable ship.

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Neutronic Refinery Ship -  The Neutronic Refinery Ship (NRS) can convert minerals plus supplies to neutronic fuel (neutronium).

Gravity Well Generator (RacePlus Ability) - If the RACEPLUS addon is in use, the DOMINION BATTLESHIP has the a Gravity Well Generator installed that gives it the ability to pull all ships  in range with hulls mass less than 200kt base mass to it's location.

Player 9 - The Cardassian Union

Cardassians are a humanoid race descended from reptilian ancestors - they prefer a hotter and more humid environment than most other humanoids. The Cardassian Union is built on conquest and expansion, occupying neighboring planets to exploit their resources. Despite a series of wars - one against the Federation, and another against the Klingons, the Cardassians still possess one of the better rounded fleets in the Alpha Quadrant.

RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  4X Space mine laying bonus (4X # of mines per torp)
-  Can build fighters in space
-  Can clone captured enemy ships

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

Keldon Class Dreadnought  - The Keldon Class Dreadnought was built with a cloaking device developed from a joint covert CARDASSIAN/ROMULAN project.

Galor Class Battlecruiser - The Galor Class Battlecruisers have a special "BioScan" equipment installed capable of detecting native life on other planets. If the Galor's mission is sensor sweep this ability will be activated. The range of the native life detecting is the same as the sensor sweep range. The bio scanner on the Galor is be able to lock onto about 20% of all planets in range per turn. The BioScan will not tell you which race, if any, owns the planet. If a planet has twenty or more defense outposts, that planet will shield a planet from BioScan.

The Galor Class Battlecruisers are also equipped with a simple Ram Scoop as a part of its hull design. The Ram Scoop will produce 2 KT of Neutronium per light year traveled by the starship. So if the Galor traveled ten light years it would generate 20 KT of fuel. So in theory, if it used less than 20 KT of fuel to go that 10 light years the starship would experience a net gain in fuel.

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Neutronic Refinery Ship -  The Neutronic Refinery Ship (NRS) can convert minerals plus supplies to neutronic fuel (neutronium).

Ship Repair (RacePlus Ability) - If the RACEPLUS addon is in use, the RANOL Class Transport  has the ability to repair other ships and replace crew at it's location.

Player 10 - The Ferengi Alliance

The Ferengi are a small, orangish humaniod race with over-large ears, known for their shiftiness and capitalist materialism. Ferengi can be counted on to make an appearance wherever there is even a hint of profit to be made. By nature they are a neutral race, allowing each Ferengi entrepenuer to maximize profits by dealing with whatever race will charge the least or pay the most. While the Ferengi Alliance has a well rounded fleet with large cargo capacities, individual ships will only be as well armed as its Daimon (captain) feels necessary for profitable missions.

RACE ADVANTAGES:
-  Can sabotage planetary economy  (destroy structures and start a civil war )
-  Can clone captured enemy ships

The presence of many aggressive empires; the Klingons, Romulans, Tholians, Cardassians and Dominion - not to mention the expanding Borg Collective - has displaced billions of sentients across the Alpha Quadrant.  While some refugees have resettled in other more tolerant empires, some have banded together to fight the loss of more cultures and worlds. The Maquis take their name from the French Resistance during Earth's Second World War, and were originally founded on human worlds occupied by the Cardassians. Now, they are a loose mix of many different rebel groups from across the Quadrant. They all have one goal in common - the take back their homes and to take revenge on their oppressors!

The Maquis have an mix of good low-end starships from a variety of races. They excel at making the most of fighters and small ships of all types, but suffer from a lack of major capital ships.

SHIP CLASSES OF NOTE:

Oberth Scout - This ship design was "aquired" from the Federation through Maquis sympathizers in Star Fleet. It has special "BioScan" equipment installed capable of detecting native life on other planets. If the Oberth's mission is sensor sweep this ability will be activated. The range of the native life detecting is the same as the sensor sweep range. The bio scanner on the Oberth is be able to lock onto about 20% of all planets in range per turn. The BioScan will not tell you which race, if any, owns the planet. If a planet has twenty or more defense outposts, that planet will shield a planet from BioScan.

B'Rell Scout - The B'RELL SC has a cloaking device - it's a KLINGON design the MAQUIS acquired from the ORIONS.

Large Alchemy Ship - The Large Alchemy ship has a Merlin Alchemy Device, which can convert supply units into minerals.

Alchemy Freighter -  Developed from a joint Federation-Klingon research effort, the advanced alchemy freighter will convert minerals into Neutronium at a rate of one unit of fuel per unit of any mineral that in placed in the starships cargo holds. This process requires neither supplies or megacredits to be performed. The only way to prevent the alchemy process from occurring is to have the starships fuel tanks full. If the tank is less than full the starship will convert enough minerals to fill it until it runs out of minerals.

Fighter Gather (RacePlus Ability) - If the RACEPLUS addon is in use, the VICTORY CV and MILITARY FREIGHTER can work together to perform a Fighter Gather mission against targeted planets.

Player 12 - The Crystalline Entity (Lurkers Only)

Crystalline Entities are powerful spacebourne creatures with a crystalline structure. They are capable of high-warp speeds and are extremely dangerous. They thrive on "consuming" organic matter and converting it energy. They are a major hazard to planet-based and orbital communities, and have been known to attack starships.  

Crystalline Entities were first encountered in 2336, when it destroyed a Federation colony. Since then, there have been several sighting of the same or similar entities throughout the Alpha Quadrant. More recently, several smaller versions of the Entity, codenamed "Ravager" and "Mauler" have been sighted.  In earlier encounters with a Crystalline Entity, a ships shields alone were sufficient enough to protect its crew from the Entity.  They can be engaged in combat and destroyed, however in recent years these crystalline creatures have developed more deadly weaponry and have become more resistant to enemy weapons fire.
