Now I’m a bit of a Star Trek fan, more TNG, ToS-Movies, and Enterprise than Voyager and DS9, though I have to admit watching them years later, they grow on me more and more.  Nevertheless, one of the things I often found incredulous was the way that main characters … ehem Picard, one of the most recognizable figures in the Galaxy … would go on covert intelligence missions.  I mean, come-on, the Romulans even stole his DNA to clone and replace him.  The Federation has its own intelligence service, but they often came across as the bad guys … remember Section 31 and Admiral Pressman, and they were never the center of an episode.  As I was prepping to GM a Star Trek Adventures‘ campaign, I quickly decided that I wanted it to focus on Starfleet Intelligence, but done right and not shoehorn characters into the setting.  But the out-of-the-box system does not allow for an intelligence character creation, though it does have a generic Section 31 NPC.  So…I had to figure out a way to make it so.

I created a supplemental for character creation and ran it through a few missions.  As a result of those games, I have updated it to the new and improve version you see below.  I am greatly interested in hearing from others so that I can keep perfecting it until it’s just right.  I can’t be the only fan of Starfleet Intelligence, or am I?
