In the early 1980s, the game company FASA was granted a license to develop the first role-playing game based on Star Trek. At the time there wasn't much in the way of new Trek; there was a new movie every two or three years, a few novels a year, and not much more. Though FASA's publications were intended as part of a gaming system, many of their publications made for interesting reading, even for people not interested in role-playing.

Their adventure scenarios were sometimes sequels to original series episodes. They also widened the range of possible Trek stories by creating adventures and reference supplements for characters who weren't the usual, routine Starfleet officer: gamers could play civilian merchants, Orion pirates, Starfleet Intelligence operatives, Klingon soldiers, or Romulan starship officers. The universe FASA created, far from canon though it may now be, is worth remembering as an intriguing extension of the Star Trek universe
