STAR FLEET TIMES

Star Fleet Times was, for five years, the official newsletter of the Star Fleet Universe. It ceased publication with issue #50 because Internet had made it obsolete. We may reprint much of the material from these old issues in a future "Best of SFT" product, but this is not on the schedule yet. SFT was published about 10 times a year. Each issue included current events, announcements, tactics, questions and answers, tournament listings, playtest ships and scenarios, etc.

NOTE: At this time, groups of 5 Star Fleet Times issues are being uploaded to Warehouse 23, DriveThru RPG, and Wargame Vault.
