Mission Briefing

The Dominion War grinds on. Starfleet is stretched thin, ships are lost daily, and everyone is one bad decision away from disaster.

But you? You're still here. Your crew has survived impossible odds, held the line when others couldn't, and kept going when every logical voice said to give up.

Star Trek: Unity is a tabletop RPG where you play the crew of a Federation starship during the final, desperate stages of the Dominion War. Using the Powered by the Apocalypse engine, you'll face combat, moral dilemmas, and the daily grind of keeping a ship togetherβ€”all while finding moments of humor, connection, and hope.

Think Voyager meets Lower Decks: funny, heartfelt, and full of impossible situations.
