The Star Fleet Officer's Manual was a FASA RPG supplement. It was part of the three-book basic set included in the second edition box set for Star Trek: The Role Playing Game, along with the Cadet's Orientation Sourcebook and Game Operations Manual.

Description[]

About The Officer's Guide
This book contains all of the information a player needs to know about the rules for STAR TREK: The Role Playing Game. Sections are included here on what defines characters in this game, how to create characters, how to train them, and how to play them in the game. Also included is a glossary of game terms for players new to role-playing games.
Every effort has been made to keep the language simple, to explain things fully, and to provide examples where they will help. The Cadet's Orientation Sourcebook provides a story about a typical STAR TREK player character that will help new players generate their characters. The story is written in sections that correspond to sections in this book, and the examples given in the rules deal with the character in the story.
In preparing this edition of the game rules, some changes have been made, making the rules easier to understand, more realistic, or more simple. One of the major changes occurs in the rules for character creation, particularly those that deal with skills. Other changes may be found in the rules for tactical movement and combat, and for injury and medical aid. One of the biggest changes in this edition deals with starship combat, which has been greatly shortened here; this part of the game is covered fully in other products from FASA, as described in The Game Operations Manual.
Players familiar with the first edition are urged to adopt these rules, and to convert their first-edition characters to characters more like those created with these rules. With minor changes, this product is fully compatible with all earlier STAR TREK products from FASA.
