The Sim

The game manager and players of UESN Nike are here to have fun, write a good story, and explore that which lies beyond the next horizon.

Nike is set in a time that straddles the lines between today and The Original Series. Many would say this is a time that Enterprise (ENT) filled, but some I think would choose to want to tell that story our own way.

What does that mean? Antimatter is not in common use among the United Earth Stellar Navy. The grand majority of ships run on fusion power plants, some even using large fissile piles to ply the space lanes. To that end, Warp 5 is not yet a reality. It takes weeks to get to the nearest star, and months to reach our nearest neighbours.

It's the golden age of sail among the stars.

Do we have scifi weapons? Lasers and plasma warheads. And ablative armour instead of shields. On that note better not ask where the water you got in the galley came from.

If an example could be made, I would argue for the Expanse's level of technology married to our own ideas of Trek. I am open to ideas and suggestions, and welcome feedback.
