USS Archimedes

A Starfleet Corps of Engineers focused RPG

The USS Archimedes is a Nova-class starship based in Obsidian Fleet’s Task Force 47. The Archimedes has been modified to serve as a mobile base of operations for the 32nd Starfleet Corps of Engineers detachment, under the command of Captain Steve Wyman.

The year is 2393, and the Federation has enjoyed nearly two decades of peace, ushering in an unprecedented era of exploration and technological innovation. But there are always people and worlds in need of aid, and that is where the Archimedes comes in.

Be it a new world being terraformed, or a colony ravaged by natural disaster, the Corps of Engineers stands ready to assist in any way possible. Rebuilding hospitals, setting up a spaceport, or even something as mundane as helping a freighter with a damaged warp nacelle - the Archimedes and her crew are always willing to lend a hand.

There is no knowing where we will go with our missions - that is all up to the players. What they write will propel us forward, be it to success or defeat. It is our job to make sure that the ideals of Starfleet - exploring new worlds, seeking our new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where nobody has gone before are kept alive.

In Closing


The Archimedes is very much a labor of love for me, as I created it with the expressed intent of making it a vehicle for the more technical minded characters. Where as Kirk, Picard, and Sisko were the leads on the screen, on the Archimedes we'd focus the camera more on Scotty, Geordi, and O'Brien. Naturally, we have all of the other standard Trek roles (and all of those positions and the players portraying them are just as important as any other), but the focus of the game is on the crew and the Corps of Engineers helping others. We try to do that with a dash of humor; as what is life without its share of foibles?

Other Notes: The Archimedes has just passed its first anniversary and we're going strong! We're an award-winning RPG based on the tenets of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. We're always looking for players to join us in our adventures through the Trek universe. We strive to offer a fun and engaging environment to enjoy our shared love of Star Trek.
