STAR TREK: DISCOVERY SEASON 3

INTRODUCTION
TO: ADMIRAL VANCE
FROM: KOVICH
Actions speaks louder than words. Any suspicion
or trepidation we may have had by the sudden
appearance of the U.S.S. Discovery in 3189 is
dwindling away as we analyze the crew’s behavior.
Our retrofit of the vessel has not only given us a
deep insight into the veracity of the crew’s claims
but assurance that their existence here is not
duplicitous in nature.
ADMIRALTY COMMS
It's incredible how much this ship and crew has contributed this year, including
solving the mystery of The Burn and helping to start rebuilding the Federation.
Even Philippa Georgiou exceeded my expectations in taking meaningful
actions and passing through the Guardian of Forever. It’ll be curious to see if
her story continues someday, given we have no record as yet of her return.
As for the rest of the crew, my recommendations stand and I agree with your
assessments regarding promotions and assignments. If you have any further
questions, you know where to find me.

 TALENT: SPORE DRIVEe
The displacement activated spore hub drive was designed by noted
astromycologist Doctor Paul Stamets and his team to utilize a previously
theorized realm of subspace that acted as a substrate for the growth of
a transphasic fungal species known as prototaxites stellaviatori. When
activated, the spore drive produces a cloud of reproductive cells of p.
stellaviatori that infuse a navigator and connect their awareness to the
subspace realm of its origin. A rotating subspace field that surrounds the
ship acts as a limiting barrier to the subspace rupture that occurs when
everything inside is drawn across the mycelial barrier and into the network.
Inside the network, time and space have little meaning and most transfers
in that subspace realm occur instantaneously, moving the ship anywhere in
space-time.
Any starship with the Spore Drive talent may utilize the spore drive for
movement at faster-than-light speeds. Activating the spore drive requires
two separate successful tasks. First, a Difficulty 4 Insight + Medicine task
assisted by the ship’s Computers + Medicine to represent the proper
growth and containment of the needed spores. Failure of this task could
mean that the spores on hand are not suitable for use, or that the spores
have been used up and a new source must be found. Complications from
this task can include making the second task have a higher Difficulty or
TALENT: INTERSTITIAL MULTIVECTOR
TRANS-COMPUTRONICS (IMT-C)
Developed in the middle of the Temporal Cold War by Starfleet, the
technology that would become known as Interstitial Multivector Trans-
Computronics (IMT-C and often pronounced ihm-tech) was revolutionary to
nearly every aspect of life in the Federation and beyond. Developed directly
from technology used to monitor the timelines, IMT-C utilized nano-scale
molecular computers that generated brief closed time-like curves that
reached microseconds into multiple closely related and as yet possible
futures. Solutions to computations could then be given probabilistic
outcomes based on trillions of possibilities, making errors in programming
or faulty inputs less likely to result in misleading information. The same
technology became integrated into nearly every aspect of starship systems,
with IMT-C tech in plasma relay systems detecting the likely failure of a
conduit before it happened and adjusting to compensate, weapon systems
determining when and where a target will most likely be to get a solid lock,
and even attempting to adjust outcomes when facing another starship with
similar predictive capabilities. The IMT-C technology requires large amounts
of power to operate effectively, and hasn’t be able to be miniaturized to be
used in equipment that is portable by humanoid species.

complication range. Second, a Daring + Conn Difficulty
3 task for the navigator infused by the genetic material
of the p. stellaviatori fungus without assistance from any
other character or the starship to represent their ability
to navigate the strange non-Euclidean mycelial network.
The Difficulty of this Conn task increases with the
distance to the destination; the mycelial pathways grow
exponentially more complex as distance increases.
Complications in either of these tasks can result in an
inability to enter the mycelial network entirely, exiting the
network in a universe not the one they left originally, or
displacement in space or time. Extreme complications
could include even large-scale subspace rifts forming
at the entry or exit locations of the starship from
the network, the generation of a micro black hole to
produce a Hawking barrier on exit from the network and
collapsing or tearing apart anything nearby.
To date, only the U.S.S. Discovery (NCC-1031/NCC-
1031-A) possesses this talent.
Beginning in the 28th century, starships began to be
outfitted with this technology. When a starship with this
technology assists a character in any task, the ship is
allowed to roll 2d20 rather than the usual one. Of these
two dice, the best roll is chosen for the ship’s assist. If
both dice result in a complication, both dice’s results are
counted to represent indecision and too many variables
for the IMT-C system to handle at that moment.
Similarly, if both dice result in double successes (four
total successes) then both dice’s results are counted
to represent how the future is nearly certain in how the
data could be interpreted.
During her refit in 3189, U.S.S. Discovery had this
technology installed, heavily changing her Systems
status. While these numbers are lower than what you
may have expected, the use of two dice offsets these
lower System + Department statistics.
