This is adapted from the Victory By Any Means: With a Purpose rules supplement, from the Minor Objectives section. The assignment of tasks is perceived a bit different from the self-generated missions, in that the number of objectives rolled are applied to a local command which controls all Starfleet vessels within its area of operations. That command must then attempt to complete those objectives in the time provided with the vessel assets it has on hand, while also dealing with the issues of transit times, maintenance and repairs (as well as other objectives).
Determine a Sector's (or other division) new objectives
Each sector has the potential of receiving new orders related to its assigned area of operations. Each month, roll 1d6 to determine how many new orders arrive.
