5.12 Recreation Facilities

(Required)

Cost: see table

It’s easy for crewmembers to become bored or distracted during long starship voyages. To help keep crews mentally and physically alert and active, starships have recreation facilities. These can range from gymnasiums to restaurants and lounges to holodecks.

Every starship has a Recreation Rating, from 1 (barely a galley and exercise room) to 10 (most lavish facilites capable). The higher the number, the more luxurious the ship’s recreation facility. The accompanying tables provides general guidelines for what comes with each rating level and what the standard is per Ship Type.

(Klingon: The Klingons scorn advanced recreation facilities the same way they do comfortable quarters. To them, a gymnasium or combat practice area is all the recreation they need. Their ships rarely have holodecks (except for use in training) or dining facilities other than simple mess halls.

(Klingon ships do not have Recreation ratings higher than 8. Use the accompanying tables to determine the recreation facilities on a Klingon ship.)
