Ahh excuse me.	 FASA HAD produced a Star Trek RPG with a space combat
module.  (I heard it was pretty good..)  Anyway, what I heard, was that
they
got Paramount very mad.  Mad enough for them to yank FASA's Star Trek
licence.
FASA had produced a produce called: The Triangle.  It covered the sector
of
space left over between the federation, klingon, and romulan empires
that
formed a triangle.  The official history says the the boarders of these
nations come to a point.  There is no space left over!	That module was
written and published without Paramount's permission.  If they made that
change, it makes me wonder what else they changed without telling
anyone.

I heard another company got the licence to do the Star Trek RPG and
combat
module....I think the same one that did the recent Indana Jones
game/Star
Wars RPGs.
