Far Trek RPG Background Update II

Star Date: 2017.29.11

This is Part 2 of my background information for the Far Trek Universe as it appears in the Eroc-verse. This is my own time-line that fits in with the story/stories being created as we play this game.

Star Dates:
I use my own version of Star Dates by swapping the order of the Month & Year. I put the Year 1st, Day of the Month 2nd, & Month of the Year last. Mostly I do this because it helps me keep actual track of when I played games, and I think its cool.


Prior Captain's of the Enterprise:
The Enterprise does exist in my game, just not quite exactly as it was in the show. Nor is the Enterprise the star of my game as that right is reserved for the Players and the ship they serve on. Here is the timeline of those who have and currently Command the Enterprise.

1. Captain Robert April.
Capt. April

Served from Star Date 1993 - 2002

The first Captain who led the ship on two five year missions to great success. He is now retired and resides on Earth.








2. Captain Christopher Pike.
Capt. Pike

Served from Star Date 2002 - 2014

Two years after being promoted to Fleet Captain, he was severely injured while rescuing several cadets from a baffle plate rupture on board a training vessel, the deadly radiation left him paralyzed, unable to speak, badly scarred.





3. Captain Gary Mitchell.
Capt. Mitchell

Served Star Date - 2014

Mitchell had the shortest run as Captain. He was first Officer under Capt. Pike and took his promotion quite seriously. Near the end of the first year of his initial 5 year mission a terrible incident at the edge of the Galaxy took the life of Capt. Mitchell and many of his crew. A surviving Lt. Commander brought the Enterprise home and reported the event.


4. Captain Pryce Grim.
Capt. Grim

Star Date - 2014 to current

Pryce was an up and coming Lt. Commander on the Enterprise during the incident that led to the death of Captain Mitchell. Pryce was commended and promoted to Captain of the Enterprise for his actions during that time. Since then he has led the crew on some of the most renowned missions in Federation history. Considered by some to be a bit arrogant, he is the model of Federation Command material. Pryce is the older brother of Cade Grim the newly appointed Captain of the USS Argo.




Other NPC's of Note:

 Vice Admiral Jonathon Grim
Vice Admiral Grim 

Jonathon is a decorated officer of the Federation and has the scars to prove it. Jonathon cut short his third five year mission to return home after his wife died giving birth to his second son Cade. Having spent the last 25 years bound to desk duty the Vice Admiral has overseen many issues in the Federation and is know to be head of Starfleet Intelligence. Of his two sons it is clear that the Admiral favors Pryce, and that Cade is kept to the background. Almost hidden away some would say.





Commodore Aaron Stone
Commodore Stone

Stone was one of the few Starfleet officers to have attained the position of starship captain before going on to serve in the operations division as the portmaster of Starbase 13. A close friend of Jonathon Grim, he took command of the USS Lexington when Grim returned to earth after the death of his wife.
In 2015, Commodore Stone was called to attend a secret meeting along with Ambassador James Kirk, Vice Admiral Jonathon Grim, Captain Nick Silver, and Commodore José Mendez, to discuss the possible end of the Klingon Cold War Conflict. Sadly this led to an incident in which the Klingon Ambassador was killed while meeting with Ambassador Kirk.
The Commodore oversees the sectors patrolled by the USS Argo now captained by the younger son of Vice Admiral Grim.



Ambassador Spock
Ambassador Spock


Spock spent his earliest years in service to the Vulcan Science Academy and as a Science officer on the
Enterprise with Captain Pike. After his time on the Federation ship he became an ambassador and representative on the Federation Council. He is also the father of  Starfleet officer Dr. Salec of the USS Argo.

Currently Spock works closely with the famed Federation Ambassador James Kirk of whom he shares a deep friendship with.




Ambassador James Kirk
Ambassador Kirk


James Kirk is by far the foremost Ambassador in the Federation. Responsible for ending numerous conflicts considered unattainable. His greatest failure and almost the cause of his death, was a meeting with the Klingon Ambassador in 2015. If not for the sacrifice of a Federation MACO team led by then Lt. Commander Cade Grim Kirk would surely have died. Though the reports of what happened that day are sealed by Star Fleet Command it is considered by many to have had serious repercussions for both the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Tensions have been lessened to some extent since the treaty enforced by the Organians.

Currently Kirk works closely with the Vulcan Ambassador Spock of whom he shares a deep friendship with.

  1. Who's the actor for your pic of Captain Pryce Grim? He looks familiar but I can't place him.
