Description:

Trident

Trident is a sci-fi multi-genre geo-political roleplaying wargame.

Players act as the overall rulers and various other personalities from
thier particular empires, roleplaying these roles while at the same time
controlling things like ship/fleet movements and Empire Economics.

The Basic Background story is:
For reason yet to be explained, an event now only refered to as the "Grand
Unification" has caused several univeres from different periods of space
and time to be merged into a single universe.

The Grand Unification has caused considerable damage to the various Empire
caught in its wake and they now struggle to rebuild. In doing so, they not
only discover that the universe they knew has been drastically changed..
but they are no longer alone with thier usual neighbors, new strange and
fasinating neighbors now exist.

The United Federation of Planets, and in particular Starfleet, have been
in loose contact with a rage of new races such.. the Narn, the Cylons, the
Minbari and a collective calling themselves the Galactic Empire. While
thier old adversaries the Cardassians, Romulans and Klingons still remain
active as well.
