The Daystrom Institute for Star Trek: The Role-Playing Game FASA

These are custom rules to be used with Star Trek: The Role-Playing Game FASA. See my other rules and how these fit in: Custom Character Generation for FASA Star Trek: The Role-Playing Game, FASA Star Trek RPG Master Skill List, Writing Side Game for FASA Star Trek, Betazed University of Psychology and Psionics for FASA Star Trek: RPG, University Skill System for Star Trek: The Role-Playing Game (FASA).

Okay, these are still experimental rules. I haven't played with them yet and they may be too powerful. I'm going to make a character with them soon. But for now enjoy!
