Star Trek: Drake's Legacy [Modiphius 2d20] / Re: Lt. Voshen, Navigator (2e)
Last post by socrates200X - January 06, 2025, 01:48:38 PM
Born: Day 372910 of the Zaranite Reckoning, Earth year 2200
General Description: Medium-build, about 1.78 meters in height, Continually wears a Zaranite rebreather with developed fluorine reservoirs and a facemask with eye protection. Wears a standard uniform without Zaranite familial decoration. Gregarious and inquistive, his vocoder is pitched slightly higher than standard in a bid to sound more approachable.
Background
Voshen is the third son of three siblings. His mother and father are employed as geothermal scientists within the Scientific Corps. Devout in their belief in the numerology underpinning Zaranite psychohistory, they settled their family on Argus V, a far-flung isolated colony, after conferring with the mystics on their homeworld. Voshen's childhood was spent exploring the cliffs surrounding his colony and dreaming about the motion of the stars behind the ash clouds of the planet. As he grew into adolescence, his itinerant stargazing would take him farther from his home, begging passage from the occasional resupply shuttles and sometimes even stowing away. His application to Starfleet came as a foregone conclusion, his parents long since given up in curtailing their son's wanderlust and he having given up on their orthodox beliefs that choked him more than any rebreather he would need on Earth.
Life at the Academy was fascinating, full of thousands of new faces and species. With a hunger, Voshen leapt into his studies and quickly gained a reputation as a gregarious cadet and skilled pilot, if not a bit of a daredevil. After a junior prank had him buzzing the academy grounds in a commandeered shuttlepod, Voshen was nearly expelled. His flight privileges revoked, he realized how devastated he would be had he been forced to return home again to Argus V Colony. He redoubled his efforts into his studies, promising to only engage any further risk-taking in service to his crew. Forced to change focuses to Navigation, Voshen found the more intellectual field to be a pleasant change, charting stars and courses reminding him of nights spent at home under the stars.
The academic reprimands stalled Voshen's career out of the gate, but he quickly made up for lost time. He made himself invaluable on every ship he was assigned to, not only as an astronavigator but as a friendly face and a dependable presence, especially around the poker table. A small hiccup occurred in 2284 when aboard the USS Hawking, non-corporeal lifeforms infected his rebreather, taking control of his mind and driving him to nearly breach the warp core. The crew rescued the ship and him in the nick of time, and he left the event humbled and with a strange but useful understanding of high-energy particles and their motions.
His career was nearly brought to a permanent halt on the surface of Eta Indi VII. While on a routine shuttlecraft maneuvers, his shuttle was struck by a rogue gravitic eddy and crash-landed on the Class K planet. His rebreather non-operable after the crash, Voshen survived for 18 hours, long enough to repair a distress signal, but not before irreparable damage was done to his lungs and respiratory tracts. On medical leave, Starfleet doctors were able to refine his rebreather to give the specific gas combination his body could absorb, but he would be tied to the rebreather forever. Sinking into a deep depression, unable to even return to his home, Voshen eventually pulled himself out of his despair by concentrating on returning to duty. Making peace with his new disability, Voshen uses it as a motivation to become the cornerstone of any crew he is on. After all, for better or worse, the ship is his home now.

Star Trek: Drake's Legacy [Modiphius 2d20] / Lt. Voshen, Navigator (2e)
Last post by socrates200X - January 06, 2025, 01:47:34 PMVOSHEN
88 year old Zaranite male
Lieutenant, UFP Starfleet
Navigator, U.S.S. Drake, NCC-2491
Command Department
Traits
Zaranite
Zaranites are hardy and immune to toxic gases, complications due to bright lighting, and can survive the extremes conditions of the vacuum of space, so long as their respirator tanks last. In general, Zaranites are pleasant if not somewhat reserved. In addition to their service in Starfleet, Zaranites also serve in various positions within the scientific community and diplomatic corps.
Multispectrum Vision
Zaranites can see a broader spectrum of light than most humanoid species, allowing them to visually detect electromagnetic radiation not in the standard range of visible light.
Starfleet Officer
A member of Starfleet, an officer committed to Starfleet's ideals of exploration, diplomacy, and scientific endeavor.
Necessary Rebreather
Whereas most Zaranites may remove their rebreather on their home planet or the confines of specialized quarters, an accident has left Voshen fully dependent on his rebreather at all times. Without it, even his native fluoride gas would damage his respiratory organs inside of a few minutes.

Talents
Multispectrum Vision (Species Ability)
Zaranites can see a broader spectrum of light than most humanoid species. You gain the Multispectrum Vision trait, which represents the ways that your senses differ from those of other members of your species. Further, when you attempt a task to locate something hidden or concealed, or to detect details not normally perceptible to that sense, you may re-roll a single d20.
Quick Survey
At the start of a scene, you may immediately ask one question, as if you had spent 1 Momentum on the Obtain Information Momentum Spend. The answer can only provide information that you could obtain with your own senses: you cannot gain information from equipment in such a short time.
Collaboration: Conn
Whenever an ally attempts a task using Conn, you may spend 1 Momentum (Immediate) to allow them to use your Conn rating and one of your relevant Focuses.
Technical Expertise
Whenever you attempt a task assisted by the ship's Computers or Sensors, you may re-roll one d20 in your pool, or you may allow the ship to re-roll its d20.
Reassuring
When you succeed at a task using your Presence, you may spend Momentum to reassure your allies, so long as they are able to hear you. You may spend 1 Momentum (Repeatable) to allow one ally who can see and hear you to recover 1 Stress. That ally may not recover more than 3 Stress from one use of this talent.
Role
Navigator
When you attempt a Science task related to astrophysics or stellar navigation, you may use your Conn rating instead of Science. When you attempt or Assist a Task to maneuver a starship through difficult or dangerous terrain, you may spend 1 Momentum to ignore a Complication suffered (Repeatable).

TBD
Phaser Control Officer
TBD
Head Nurse

Other Notable Personnel
Lieutenant, junior grade, Ernst Schrepfermann, human/male (Starbase 11) as a junior engineer on the ship
Disposition of Other Former Senior Staff
Treyva: Will likely be promoted to Commodore and assigned as commanding officer, Starfleet Station, Vulcan.
Sorak: At the end of Ep. 2.02, he will be promoted to Captain and assigned as captain of engineering and portmaster, Eridani Shipyards, Vulcan (which will eventually make him Treyva's de facto second-in-command).
Tobin: Will likely be promoted to Commander and assigned as chief of astrosciences (and de facto commanding officer), Betreka Astrosciences Station, at the edge of the Betreka Nebula.
Maria Del Vecchio: Unknown at this time (although there are possible plans for her in a future episode).
Miguel Costaluna: Will likely be promoted to Lieutenant Commander and assigned to an Epsilon communications station as chief of operations (equivalent to first officer).
Cathy Chen: Will likely be promoted to Lieutenant Commander and assigned as first officer (or a senior department head) on a (likely smaller) Class 1 starship.
Dr. Dourap: I have plans for him later this season.
Casey Kiunya: Will likely be assigned to Starfleet Medical on Earth in an administrative role (which may be his last tour before he retires and returns to his native Alaska).

TALENTS
- Advanced Sensor Suites (Whenever a character performs a task roll assisted by the ship's Sensors, the ship may roll 2d20 for assistance rather than only one (if Reserve Power is rerouted to Sensors, one of these dice is set to a 1). This talent cannot be used if the ship is suffering one or more breaches to Sensors.)
- Extensive Shuttlebays (The vessel's shuttlebays are large, well-supplied, and able to support a larger number of active shuttle missions simultaneously. The ship's Small Craft Readiness is increased by an amount equal to the ship's Scale minus 1, and it may carry up to two Scale 2 small craft (typically runabouts).)
- Improved Warp Drive (Whenever the ship takes the Warp major action, roll a d20; if you roll equal to or under the ship's Engines, you do not spend Reserve Power for the ship.)
- Rugged Design (Whenever a task roll is attempted to patch or repair a breach, a d20 may be re-rolled. Further, if the task is successful, the crew may spend Momentum to patch a second breach; this will cost 2 Momentum, +1 per additional step of Potency on that second breach.)
TRAITS

SHIP INFO
USS Drake is the ninth Constellation-class cruiser built for Starfleet at the Copernicus Shipyards on Luna. She is the first of her sister ships to not be fitted out specifically for perimeter patrol and interception, instead reflecting a multirole exploration mission profile.
The ship is named for 22nd Century Earth archaeologist Dr. Elias J. Drake, a member of the Earth Arctic Archaeology Team who discovered a mysterious wrecked alien spacecraft on the polar ice cap in 2153. All members of the team went missing and were presumed dead. This is the second Federation starship to bear the name, the first being the Anton-class vessel that served from 2258 to 2289.
The Drake's first and current commander is Captain Treyva of Denobula.
Crew Complement Department Assignments: Command, 28; Helm/Nav, 42; Security, 87; Engineering, 87; Science, 71; Medical 35.
SHUTTLECRAFT
The Drake carries several standard Class G shuttlecraft and one aquashuttle:
Named Shuttlecraft
Brahe (NCC-2491/1), Class G
Mercator (NCC-2491/2), Class G
Lagrange (NCC-2491/3), Class G
Dubilier (NCC-2491/5), Aquashuttle
