You are capable of emitting pheromones which can render Orion males (and others) suggestible. These pheromones affect several other species—including Humans—in a similar way. When dealing with males of a species affected by these pheromones, you gain 2 bonus Momentum on all tasks to persuade or command them. However, female members of species affected often suffer headaches because of the pheromones, increasing the complication range of tasks to interact with them by 1. Vulcans are known to be unaffected, while Denobulans experience a different effect and become drowsy. The gamemaster's discretion applies as to which species are affected, which are immune, and which suffer unexpected effects, but most species are affected similarly to Humans and Orions.

The Lokirrim have a long history of interrogating rogue photonic individuals. When engaged in a Social Conflict with a hologram or other photonic character, this character is considered to have an Advantage.

The vessel is equipped with photonic torpedoes instead of spatial torpedoes.

The character has some portion of their body replaced by an advanced piece of bio-mechanical hardware. This device functions exactly like its organic counterpart; however, before attempting a Task, the Character may choose to take 3[D] Stress to add a single additional d20 to their dice pool. Any Injuries caused by this damage is resolved after the effects of the Task. Multiple dice may be bought in this way, but the damage is added together (so, buying two dice inflicts 6[D] damage, and buying 3 dice inflicts 9[D] damage). These dice count towards the normal limit of bonus d20s purchased.

Using telepathy, Stephens can consciously prevent beings, who are vunerable to telepathy, from noticing him. This ability only works on beings who haven't already noticed him and whom are otherwise distracted. It doesn't work on beings who are paying attention and not distract, nor does it work at long distances. Since discovering the ability to control this, Stephens has realized this power explains a lot of the strange things that have happened in his social life.

You can sense the surface thoughts and emotions of most living beings nearby, and can communicate telepathically with other empaths and telepaths, as well as those with whom you are extremely familiar. Surface thoughts are whatever a creature is thinking about at that precise moment. The character cannot choose not to sense the emotions or read the surface thoughts of those nearby, except for those who are resistant to telepathy. It will require effort and a Task to pick out the emotions or thoughts of a specific individual in a crowd, to search a creature's mind for specific thoughts or memories, or to block out the minds of those nearby. Unwilling targets may resist with an Opposed Task.

Your skills at telepathy can interfere with the ability of others to read minds, send telepathic signals, or sense thoughts and emotions. As a Minor Action, you can shield the minds of others, preventing the detection of surface thoughts and emotions, as well as blocking telepathic communication. Attempts to push past your block is an Opposed Task. Additionally, you can assist other creatures in resisting having their mind read.

Your telepathic ability is more potent than most, and you are quite accustomed to projecting your thoughts into other minds. You can send your thoughts into the minds of other creatures – other than those immune to telepathy – even if those creatures are not telepathic themselves. You can “hear” their responses by reading their minds as normal. You are also capable of using this ability offensively, overwhelming a target's mind with pain-inducing psychic noise. This requires a Presence + Security task with a Difficulty of 2 (increasing by 1 for each range category beyond Close), and inflicting [D] Stress equal to your Presence, with the Intense effect.Requires "Telepathy2e" or "Telepath" or "Telepath (Ocampa)" or "Telepathy (Anabaj)" Talent, Gamemaster's discretion

The Anabaj can sense the surface thoughts and emotions of most living beings nearby and can communicate telepathically with other empaths and telepaths.

One hundred and fifty El-Aurian refugees who were aboard the SS Lakul in 2293 became caught in the Nexus. For them it was akin to “being inside joy”. Forty-Seven of these refugees were “yanked out” by the USS Enterprise-B, leaving a temporal “echo” of themselves behind within the Nexus that exists outside of all of time. These El-Aurians are still connected to their “echoes” granting them an awareness of manipulations made to the time-space continuum. Any alterations to the natural flow of time leaves the El-Aurian with this talent with a nagging “feeling” that something is just not right, or is fundamentally “off”. The Gamemaster secretly makes a Difficulty 0 Insight + Science Task check for the player. If the Task fails the player is oblivious to the changes. On one success, the El-Aurian knows something is wrong, but not exactly what it is. For each success past the first, the Gamemaster may give the player brief hints as the character begins to remember brief impulses of “how things should be”. Additionally, the player may spend a point of Momentum to remember a specific fact about the former timeline.

Long study into the facets of temporal mechanics has given the character an intuitive understanding of the space-time continuum and the various phenomena that can distort it. Once per scene, when confronted with an anomaly that affects the flow of time and space, the character rolls 1[D] when attempting a Task relating to the phenomenon. The character generates bonus Momentum equal to the result, in addition to any Momentum generated from the Task result. If an Effect is rolled, the Gamemaster gains 1 Threat instead.Requires Science 3+, Requires "Temporal Mechanics" Focus

When you attempt a Task using Engineering or Science, you may roll one additional d20, so long as you succeeded at a previous Task covering the same scientific or technological field earlier in the same adventure.Requires Science 2+ or Engineering 2+

The Orions are known as one of the most untrustworthy species in the Galaxy next to the Ferengi, and yet people are always willing to do business with them or are continually tricked by them. This is due to the subtle dance of social interactions and the release of pheromones that make the Orion endearing to whom they are dealing with, and can be used to gain their trust. An Orion adds 1 bonus Momentum to their pool when they have successfully completed a task to win a target's trust.

A Talarian will perform The B'Nar when in mourning or cut off from other Talarians. After they have made the B'Nar for a length of time equivalient to their Fitness score, they immediately regain all Stress points. Also, making the B'Nar is so enheartening to a Talarian that they gain 1d20 to Control or Fitness rolls

When the character challenges a Directive, they gain a bonus die – in addition to any other benefits.

Due to their extremely long lifespans, Edosians come to understand and gain knowledge more extensively than most other individuals. When a character with this Talent uses a Milestone to exchange a Focus, they may do so twice instead of once.

You can perform complex math equations quickly in your head, and even your rough estimates are startlingly precise. Whenever you attempt a task which requires precise calculations, you do not suffer any Difficulty increase for lacking tools, and the first d20 you purchase is free.Requires Science 3+

Arbazan are naturally adept at the subtleties of social protocol, and often come to rely on it heavily during social interactions. To many other species, the Arbazan's focus on such rules and guidelines is often viewed as obsessive, but to the Arbazan, it is simply the natural way to engage in interactions. Whenever a character with this Talent attempts a test during Social Conflict, they may re-roll a d20 so long as they succeeded at an earlier Test relating to the recollection or research of appropriate social graces, protocols, or faux pas.

The Rakhari culture is peppered with thousands of stories and legends that are shared by the Rakhari with their children as they grow up. This has led to the Rakhari being capable storytellers, and a skilled Rakhari knows how to incorporate small snippets of the truth into any web of lies he starts to weave. The Rakhari gains a free point of Momentum when they successfully convince another sentient being of a lie.

You are experienced in the tradition of honor-dueling known as the Ushaan, having spilt much blood upon the ice. When you make a melee Attack, or are targeted by a melee Attack, and buy one or more d20s by adding to Threat, you may re-roll the dice pool for the Task. Further, you own an Ushaan-tor, a razor-sharp ice-miner's tool used in these duels.

When you attempt a Task using Engineering or Science where you gain the additional d20 from the Testing a Theory Talent, reduce the Difficulty of the Task by 1, to a minimum of 0.Requires Science 3+, Requires "Testing a Theory" Talent

When you attempt a Task using Engineering or Science where you gain the additional d20 from the Testing a Theory Talent, reduce the Difficulty of the Task by 1, to a minimum of 0.

This species is capable of regulating their body temperatures such that they can survive in hostile environments with ease. Reduce the severity of any negative Trait dealing with temperature by 1. This can eliminate any ongoing damage the character would normally be required to suffer due to these Traits.

The insults and jabs of others mean little to Megarites, who have mastered the ability to take praise in their own achievements. If a Megarite is successful in a task against someone trying to manipulate them emotionally, they may ignore all subsequent attempts by their opponent for the remainder of the scene.

You have been bred to have an exoskeleton that can absorb tremendous force. This selective breeding process is typically used to create new warriors. Your Resistance is increased to 2.

You're used to operating small, nimble ships, where their agility and small profile make them a much harder target, if you know how to fly them. When you perform an Impulse, Warp, or Evasive Action task when piloting a starship, enemy attacks from ships with a greater Scale than yours increase in Difficulty by 1. If attacked by a ship with a Scale that is double or more the Scale of your ship, then you increase the Difficulty by 2 instead.Requires Conn 4+

Kelpiens have special organs on the back of their heads called ganglia. These organs do different things depending on what stage of life the Kelpien is in, as such, this talent grants different abilities based on the character's Vahar'ai trait. Pre-Vahar'ai: When the gamemaster spends Threat to either add a complication, or to add dice to a pool or that directly affects the character, roll 1[D]; if an effect is rolled, add 1 Momentum to the pool. Post-Vahar'ai: The character gains the following attack: Ganglia Dart (Ranged, 2[D], Piercing 1). The character's Security is added as normal to the attack's Stress rating.The talent is known as Ganglia in the Discovery S1/S2 book.

You possess a knack for navigating which terrestrial species tend to lack, and can easily lend this grasp of maneuverability to starship piloting. When you attempt a task utilizing your Conn discipline, the complication range associated with that task is always considered to be one less (2 instead of 3, 0 instead of 1 and so on).

When a Gorn with extreme might gets into a fight, anything can be a weapon as long as it isn't too heavy or bolted down. Once per combat encounter, you can make the following attack if a sufficient-sized object is in your zone: Thrown Object: 3[D] + Security, Knockdown.Requires Fitness 10+

You are able to bring out the best in people with your natural charisma. If you assist someone with your Presence Attribute, if they succeed at the assisted Task, add an extra point of Momentum.

During any Challenge, Extended Task or other activity under time pressure, the character may attempt a Control + Command Task with a Difficulty 3. If this Task succeeds, reduce the total number of intervals the Players have taken by 1; for every 2 Momentum spent (Repeatable) reduce by a further 1. The character has managed to minimize lost time. If the Task fails, add one additional interval as the character's efforts actually waste time.Requires Command 4+

With training, Cal-Mirrans can absorb tachyon radiation and use it to refract space-time, bending their surroundings slightly into the future or past. The more radiation, the further the slide, but the greater the risk – too much refraction can result in severe physical or mental damage and a weakening of their crystalline matrix. By spending a point of Determination and attempting an Insight + Science task, the character can perceive a glimpse of the past or future as if they were in that location at that time. The Difficulty of this task is based on how far into the past or future the character is looking; a glimpse of up to a minute earlier or later is Difficulty 1, up to an hour is Difficulty 2, up to a day is Difficulty 3, and longer durations have a higher Difficulty at the gamemaster's discretion. Success allows the character to ask one question, plus one extra question per Momentum spent, about events in that time and place. Glimpses of the future are subject to change, as future events are not fixed.

Whenever a Klingon buys additional dice for a melee attack using Threat, for each Threat added to the pool, you gain 1 bonus Momentum that can only be spent on Bonus Damage, increasing the damage of the attack by 1 per Momentum spent.

Your body is capable of shrugging off even the most debilitating injuries. If you would be killed, you may spend 1 point of Determination to remain alive but injured.

Whenever you Avoid an Injury, the cost is reduced by 1, to a minimum of 1.

In times of danger Chelons excrete a contact toxin onto their claws that can be used to debilitate foes. Their Unarmed Strike is replaced with a melee attack Claw Strike (Melee, 1[D], Piercing 1, Debilitating, Non-lethal).

The Phylosians' advanced scientific capabilities, combined with their unique physiology, have made many members of their species experts at detecting and counteracting environmental toxins. Whenever a character with this talent attempts a task to diagnose a toxic substance or to develop a treatment or antidote to counteract a toxin's effects, reduce the Difficulty of the task by 1 to a minimum of 0.

The ship's armaments have been modified to leave a distinctive radioisotope signature on anything they strike. This signature is difficult to detect unless it has been specifically looked for, but the firing ship can detect it up to five light-years away.Whenever this ship succeeds at an attack, you may spend 1 Momentum to apply the trait **Radioisotope Trace** to the target. This trait remains for approximately a day. If a target with that trait is within five lightyears, you may attempt a **Reason + Science** task with a Difficulty of 2, assisted by the ship's **Sensors + Security** to detect the target's approximate location (the closer you are, the more precise a location you can get). If the target is outside of this range, the task immediately fails.25th century or later

You can follow even the faintest of tracks. When you attempt a task to track animals, people, or ground vehicles, the first d20 you buy is free. If the tracking was done as part of an extended task then the roll gains Progression 1.Requires Security 3+, Requires Conn 2+

When you make a Security task, you ignore the 1st complication rolled. In addition, if you are making an opposed task using Security, you generate 1 Momentum for each complication your opponent suffers. Bonus Momentum may not be saved.

You are especially talented when it comes to disguising a person as a member of another species, whether using targeted epigenetic treatments, plastic surgery, or other methods. When you succeed at a **Medicine** task to disguise a character as a member of a different species (creating a trait), you may spend 1 Momentum to increase the potency of that trait by 1.Requires Medicine 3+

While transporter inhibitors are active on the ship, nobody may transport onto or off the ship: all tasks to transport people or materials to or from the ship immediately fail. This necessarily means that the ship's own transporters are shut down, as they will not function alongside the inhibitors.

You're well-versed in the operation of transporter systems and can often get them to function in extreme circumstances or to achieve outcomes that few others could manage. Such efforts are never without risk, given the delicacy of the technology. When you attempt a task to use, repair, or modify a transporter, you may add 2 to Threat to reduce the Difficulty of the task by 2, to a minimum of 0.Requires Engineering 3+

When you attempt a Task to identify specific injuries or illnesses, or to determine the severity of a patient's condition, you may spend one Momentum (Repeatable) to diagnose one additional patient.Requires Medicine 3+

The individual organisms that comprise a Pandronian are largely autonomous and can separate from one another. A character with this talent can spend 1 Momentum to cause a component organism to separate from the others and send the disassembled organism to a different location.In this manner, the character can participate in scenes taking place in up to three different locations simultaneously, at a cost of 1 Momentum per component organism. Each individual component organism uses the character's full game statistics, talents, and abilities. However, the character can attempt only one task per turn in combat, as usual. Each component organism does not get its own turn in combat. In non- combat situations or in scenes that don't involve strict time limits, the component organisms can attempt tasks separately at the gamemaster's discretion.

During any Challenge or Extended Task that uses the Scientific Method to adapt technology in which the character is participating, if the hypothesis being pursued is considered “Outside the Box” – the Difficulty of the Tasks are reduced by 1. It should be noted that Players are not aware of the fact they are pursuing an “Outside the Box” hypothesis under normal circumstances – it is up to the Gamemaster to ensure they receive the proper Difficulty reduction.Requires Science 3+, Requires Insight 9+

When attempting any Task involving navigating subspace realms, such as Underspace corridors, the character reduces the Difficulty of that Task by 1, to a minimum of 1.

While maneuvering in underwater environments, an Aquan with this talent can use a minor action to move to any zone within long range instead of medium and ignore any Difficulty increases associated with underwater terrain.

Your genetic pair is dead or is otherwise unavailable, and can't be replaced during your current mission or deployment. Mentally alone, you are compulsively driven to aid others. When you assist another character with a Task, one d20 related to that Task can be re- rolled.

While their fellow Osnullus can tell what each other are thinking by looking at each other's faces, it is more difficult for other species to do so. This natural trait gives them an advantage when it comes to treachery and deceit. The Osnullus may roll an additional d20 for the purposes of trying to mislead or lie to another species.

The character is inexperienced, but talented and with a bright future in Starfleet. The character may not have or increase any Attribute above 11, or any Discipline above 4 while they have this Talent (and may have to adjust Attributes and Disciplines accordingly at the end of character creation). Whenever the character succeeds at a Task for which they bought one or more additional dice with either Momentum or Threat, they may roll 1[D]. The character receives bonus Momentum equal to the roll, and adds one point to Threat if an Effect is rolled. The character cannot gain any higher rank than lieutenant (junior grade) while they possess this Talent.Only available to Young characters

The Barzan possess such great determination in accomplishing their tasks that they refuse to let any setback deter them. When a Barzan spends a point of Determination on a task, but the task fails, the character regains the spent point of Determination.

An extension of the variable pitch warp nacelles seen on the Intrepid class and the warp vector technology found on many Vulcan-designed starships, a ship with a variable geometry warp field can adjust its subspace field in highly turbulent spacetime and can continue to provide propulsive force even then. These vessels provide the advantage of Variable Geometry Warp Field in any scene involving a disadvantage related to difficulties forming or maintaining a stable warp field.The talent is known as Variable Geometry Warp Drive in the Captain's Log book.

Engaging in debate is one of the highest forms of expression in Betelgeusian culture, and a Betelgeusian who deigns to engage someone in argument is considered to be giving them a great gift. During an opposed task in a social conflict, Betelgeusians gain 1 bonus Momentum so long as they succeed at their task.

The ship has exotic particle emitters integrated with its tractor beam system. With a few simple adjustments, the tractor beam can become even more useful against ships trapped within. When the tractor beam is activated, the operator may choose to add one of the following effects:Depleting: At the end of each round a target remains within the tractor beam, it loses 1 Shield.Draining: At the end of each round a target remains within the tractor beam, it loses 1 Power.25th century or later

The character is wise and experienced, and draws upon inner reserves of willpower and determination in a more measured and considered way. Whenever the character spends a point of Determination, roll 1[D]. If an Effect is rolled, immediately regain that spent point of Determination. The character has a rank of at least Lieutenant Commander.Only available to Veteran characters

The character has learned to use their unique physiology to allow them to detect vibrations, enhancing their ability to see and hear, even in darkness. Characters with this Talent reduce the Difficulty of perception-related Tasks by 1.

Your expertise in navigation and stellar cartography come from a deep and enduring fascination with space; as a child, you dreamed of the stars you'd visit and the stellar phenomena you'd see up close, and you memorized every fact you could about them. You gain an additional focus, and one of your focuses (either the one gained from this talent, or an existing one) must relate to Astronavigation, Stellar Cartography, or a similar field of space science. Further, when you succeed at a navigation-related task, you gain 1 bonus Momentum due to your knowledge and familiarity. Bonus Momentum cannot be saved.Requires Conn 3+, Requires Science 2+

An Efrosian can see beyond what others think of as the visual spectrum, from some infra-red to ultra-violet light. Any Tasks in which detecting those parts of the spectrum is useful reduce in Difficulty by 1. Circumstances, such as low light levels, do not affect the Difficulty of Tasks, as long as those Tasks do not relate to perceiving minutiae of a subject.

VinShari are among the best singers in the Shackleton Expanse, perhaps even the Beta Quadrant. They are also experts at ventriloquism and mimicking voices. A VinShari with this talent can mimic any voice they have heard, and most non-vocal sounds they hear, accurate to a degree where even a computer analysis cannot distinguish the mimicry from the real thing. When you attempt to distract or deceive someone using this mimicry, you may re-roll your entire dice pool.

The tone of your voice and the clarity of your words conveys that you are in control, that you are someone who should be listened to. When you assist someone, and use your Presence to do so, you may add 2 to Threat to treat your assistance die as if it had rolled a 1 instead of rolling it.Requires Presence 11+

You are intensely loyal and have taken a vow of silence and will only speak to your direct superior. Whenever you attempt to resist efforts to make you speak or betray your employer's trust, reduce the Difficulty of the Task by two.

Once per session, when you attempt a Task, you may spend 2 Momentum (Immediate) in order to gain an additional Focus for the remainder of the session, due to your breadth of knowledge. However, any Task using that Focus increases in Complication range by 1, as you are not a true expert on that subject.Requires Science 2+, Requires Reason 9+

A cheerful, outgoing personality is the perfect thing to put diplomatic guests at ease. Whenever assisting another character the Bolian may use their Presence Attribute instead of their own. Further, both the Bolian and the character being assisted may ignore any increases in Complication Range for the Task.

You are an exemplar of what it means to be a Klingon warrior, and you will not hesitate to demonstrate your prowess to any who challenge you. When you make a melee attack, or are targeted by a melee attack, and you buy one or more d20s by adding to Threat, you may re-roll the dice pool for the task. Further, you own either a mek'leth or a bat'leth, at your discretion, and do not have to pay an Opportunity Cost to acquire it.

Danger can come from any quarter, and you will not be caught off-guard. When you attempt a task to notice or detect an enemy or hazard, you may reroll one d20.

A Cal-Mirran can learn to “glass” water on contact, i.e., harden it temporarily, similar to freezing, but without expansion or temperature change. Glassing can create tools or be used for defense. It is a skill that must be mastered, and requires concentration. Advanced glassers can harden anywhere from their body volume of water, to large swaths of ocean, but the larger the volume and the longer it is held, the greater the strain on the Cal-Mirran mind. Glassing requires a Fitness + Science task, with a Difficulty determined by the quantity of water being affected. After a successful use of this ability, the character is sluggish and will be unable to use this talent or change their own body's state for the remainder of the scene.

The waters of I'Qosa nourish and restore the inhabitants of the planet. While in the waters of their homeworld, the character recovers 2 Stress at the start of each round, up to the character's normal maximum Stress.

When engaged in a Social Conflict, the character increases the Difficulty of Tasks that target them by 1.

You have contacts everywhere and you listen for news and rumors from far and wide. At the start of a scene, you may add 1 to Threat to ask the gamemaster two questions about the situation or location, as if you had spent Momentum on the Obtain Information spend. The answers you receive will be knowledge you've gained from your contacts and the news and rumors you've heard.

One of your duties is to maintain the weapons used by the ship's personnel, and you take that duty very seriously. Each scene, any character using a weapon from the ship's weapons lockers may ignore the first complication rolled when making an attack or attempting another task using that weapon. Further, when you attempt a task to create a trait that represents modifying, calibrating, or modulating a weapon, reduce the Difficulty by 1.This covers any standard issue weapons, or any obtained by paying the Opportunity Cost aboard ship, excluding those gained from other talents.Requires Security 3+, Requires Engineering 2+

Having traveled space for more of their adult life, the character has seen much and has picked up bits of knowledge and unusual skills along the way. Once per mission, the character may add 1 to Threat to gain an additional Focus for the remainder of that mission, representing a specific skill or field of knowledge the character possesses which is useful in the current situation.

You have many decades if not several centuries of experiences to draw upon. You may have one additional Value and Focus, reflecting the insights you received from your long life

The ship has an additional sensor system outfitted with high-energy transceivers, verteron sensors, and neutrino sensors. These sensors, combined with field-generation devices, allow the ship to send and receive data streams through wormholes. The Difficulty of all Science tasks to send or receive data through a wormhole is reduced by 2 to a minimum of 0.2371 or later

You know starships so well that you might as well have written the technical manuals yourself. In fact, you probably did write some of them. When you spend Determination on an **Engineering** task, if the task succeeds, double any Momentum you generate.In addition, during Step 5 of lifepath character creation, if you select the Veteran option, you may select this talent instead of the Veteran talent.Requires Engineering 4+, Only available to Veteran characters

Your ancestry is steeped in toil in the mines on Ardana's surface and, you roll one additional d20 whenever using Engineering or Science in relation to geology, mining or mine equipment.

You have received special training to fight effectively in micro-gravity and zero-gravity environments, a process that famously involves a significant amount of nausea as participants acclimatize to the conditions. In combat, when you make an attack while in a zero-gravity or micro-gravity environment, you may use the higher of your Conn or Security disciplines for the task, and you ignore any Difficulty increases caused by the lack of gravity. In addition, enemies who lack similar training increase the Difficulty of attacks against you by 1.Requires Conn 3+, Requires Security 3+

I'Qosa are experts at moving both in underwater and zero-gravity environments due to their natural aquatic habitat. The character receives a bonus d20 on any task related to swimming or zero-g maneuvering.
