![]() To truly capture the essence of the spacefaring adventure series, a video game should be as much about talking as it is about flying and shooting, allowing players to explore new worlds, build relationships, and confront complicated moral dilemmas. Gene Roddenberry’s cosmic polemic often contains action, but it’s never about action Star Trek is about compassion, curiosity, and camaraderie. Moreover, even the most celebrated Star Trek games, such as 2000’s Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force, 2002’s Star Trek: Bridge Commander, and the long-running MMORPG Star Trek Online, place an overwhelming emphasis on combat, which is only ever a last resort in Star Trek stories. There are licensed Star Trek video games going back 50 years, but there’s never been a truly great Star Trek game, one whose appeal outstretches the limits of its existing fan base. Three new characters for The Dronescourge Returns campaign and a new foe: Concord NuHu Intelligence Mandarin Jai Galeyous and her panhuman, Vyess bodyguards Privateer ‘Admiral’ Taras Kalemon and his Boromite and Freeborn bodyguard Ghar Exile Commander Shaltok and the command drone of the Dronescourge hive, a Virai First Instance.Unlike its esteemed counterpart from Lucasfilm, Star Trek’s history with video games isn’t exactly stellar.New units, weapon and weapon rules, including the specialist fractal demolitions and breaching cannon (DBC), the Isorian phase-shift projector, fractal charges and breaching kit for Boromite, Freeborn and Algoryn engineers, Krasz assault troops for the Concord, and a breaching mode for existing weapons such as the eponymous plasma lance, disruptor bomb and tractor maul.Included are rules for breaching weapons, setting explosives, dealing with corridors, breaking down obstacles, walls and doors, and dangerous corridor turret drones. New units, environmental factors, hazardous fauna and rules for fighting aboard ship and in similar, enclosed environments such as the ruined arcologies in ancient cities.Army lists for the ragtag Freeborn Privateers and the resource-starved Ghar Exiles.A new, all-drone army – the Virai Dronescourge, with unique rules, weapons and capabilities.Campaign rules designed to link the games together in a flexible format.Six new narrative scenarios in a campaign set within the vast starliner or within the ruined arcologies of the planet, Taskarr.The campaign can also be played with any forces or combination of forces that the participants wish to use. Focusing on forces from the PanHuman Concord and Isorian Senatex, it also includes the new forces of the Ghar Exiles and the Freeborn/Boromite Privateers. The Dronescourge Returns is a complete campaign supplement for the Beyond the Gates of Antares game. Their investigations are compromised by the presence of a fleet of Privateers and an army of exiled Ghar living on the ship, but what they discover is worse than they could have imagined, the resurgence of a deadly, ancient threat, one thought long-since destroyed – the Virai Dronescourge. ![]() The source of the devastation appears to be the wreck of a vast, ancient starliner in the newly-emerged system of Taskarr. Along the Northern Interface border between the two great Antarean nations, whole star systems are dead or dying, their inhabitants and nanospore wiped up by… what? A resurgence of the Chryseis shard? Ruptions in the Nexus caused by the events of the Xilos collapse?īoth nations send their top local operatives to investigate: for the Isorians, it is wily Drone Commander Xan Tu for the Concord, the NuHu Intelligence Mandarin Jai Galeyous. The IMTels of both the Isorian Senatex and Panhuman Concord are deeply alarmed. ![]() The Dronescourge Returns – Gates of Antares supplement – Introduces a new range of exquisite Sci-Fi models with an utterly alien and unique look, new units such as Privateers, plus new equipment and rules for all existing races… The action intensifies in Beyond the Gates of Antares as a long-forgotten threat re-emerges.
