![]() How much freedom did you have to play in the post- Nemesis/ pre-Picard era?ĭM: When we started this project, Lower Decks hadn’t premiered, and Picard had just begun releasing, so there wasn’t a lot established around the state of the galaxy in 2380, outside of where we left it in Nemesis. ![]() RPGFan: It’s always great to get a new story set in a previously “unexplored” period of Trek (outside of the novels, of course). And between 2380 and the Romulan supernova in 2387, we had a lot of space to tell our own story before we’d start bumping into other canonical events. But more crucially, in an interactive narrative, it’s important to give the player the freedom to make their own choices. As a continuation of the timeframe that I and many others on the production considered our favorite - the TNG era - it was already very appealing. RPGFan: What made you choose the timeframe you used for the game?ĭM: The game is set in 2380, which is right after Star Trek: Nemesis. I wouldn’t want to serve in their fleet, but they’d be more fun to hang out with at Quark’s for a few drinks than some Vulcans or Romulans. They’re probably the most fleshed-out alien civilization in the Star Trek universe. Which is your personal favorite?ĭM: The Klingons. RPGFan: In that same vein, everyone has their favorite alien species in Star Trek: Vulcan, Klingon, Trill, Ferengi, etc. ![]() Jara Rydek is one of the dual main characters in Star Trek: Resurgence. That makes him really interesting to watch. He’s a little older, a little wiser than in his earlier five-year mission, but he has vulnerabilities and imperfections. Equinox really knows how to make tough choices and do what has to be done… But in all seriousness, while Captain Picard would be an easy answer - a logical one, even - to keep things interesting, I’ll say Captain Kirk, specifically in the TOS films. But the final season of Picard delivers one last great adventure for that TNG crew that originally made me a fan, so that puts it at the top of the list.ĭM: Captain Rudolph “Rudy” Ransom of the U.S.S. RPGFan: What is your favorite current-era Star Trek show? ( Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds, etc.)ĭM: There’s a lot to like across the various series, and each has its own high points and unique contributions to the grand tapestry that is Star Trek. It was appointment viewing for me, and it’s the show I re-watch most often. RPGFan: What is your favorite Star Trek show?ĭan Martin (DM): It would have to be the first Star Trek show I watched: The Next Generation, during its initial airing. Our review manager, Jono Logan, arguably the biggest Star Trek fan on staff, also jumped into the fray, adding some of his own questions. So, when RPGFan was offered the opportunity to interview the lead writer of Star Trek: Resurgence, Dan Martin, she eagerly embraced the opportunity. ![]() ![]() This dual protagonist approach allows players to experience both sides of the Starfleet equation: the ones who give the orders and the ones who carry them out.Īudra Bowling reviewed Resurgence a few months ago and enjoyed how it replicated the experience of binge-watching an entire television season. Meanwhile, Diaz is a dedicated human crewmember on the ship’s lower decks, playing a vital role in the ship’s operations without being directly involved in the bridge’s high-stakes decisions. As Rydek, a half- Kobliad who recently joined the crew, you must navigate the challenges of adjusting to your new role after a tragic warp core testing accident. In Star Trek: Resurgence, you take on the dual roles of First Officer Jara Rydek and Petty Officer Carter Diaz aboard the Starfleet research vessel, the U.S.S. However, unlike most other action-oriented Star Trek games of the last decade, Resurgence went with a genre that is arguably a better fit for the property: an adventure game. With this renewed interest in Star Trek, it wasn’t long before a new video game was announced for PC and consoles: Star Trek: Resurgence. This spurred an entirely new era of Star Trek shows, with Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds following soon after. After an extended absence from our TV screens, Star Trek roared back into the limelight in 2017 with Star Trek: Discovery, a brand-new show set pre- The Original Series. ![]()
