The character sheet is minimal, and includes a stand-up portion to show the picture and details of the character to other players. The sheet also includes a list of crew members under the command of the character so that the player doesn't need to invent them. The character art is from the Star Trek Dress Up by Deviantart artist RiseofDarkFire. The graphic design is by Essi Kakkola.
The game was designed for really fast play (15 min intro to new players + 45 min play time). The idea is to be able to play many episodes during a short time, e.g. during a convention. The episodes are semi-independent and continuity is loose. This makes it easy for new players to pop in as old players leave the game. The graphic design is by Essi Kakkola.
The game mechnics are also simplified. Most actions aim to advance the plot and the other actions are to support this. For example in the beginning of the episode (a session) the characters will use "search for the plot" action. It doesn't require any dice rolls, and is alway successful. With actions, failure in general cannot kill player characters as they are the heroes of the series. Using assisting NPC "red shirts" can be lethal to them if things go wrong.
