==[[Star Trek]] Adventures==

With a bit of a history of children getting into Starfleet (or at least getting caught up in the ongoing adventures of a ship or station as seen with Wesley Crusher, Jake Sisko and myriad of other kids/teens), it is no surprise that the core rulebook for this game had to make some passing mention of how old a character can be. The way they handled it? "As long as the character passes an exam to get into the Academy, they can be an officer." They do say the average age of a cadet is someone in their twenties, but they don't explicitly say you can't play younger either. So go out there and get a whole crew of rascals but beware any strange green energy beings telling you to murder all of the adults, okay?

With the release of the Player's Guide more concrete rules were finally presented for playing civilians, even kids. The rules cap their Attributes and Disciplines at a lower number (meaning it will be harder to succeed with tasks), and they lose access to a number of things adults would get during character creation. That said, they do have a few boons! First, they can add Threat to declare themselves at or very near where a scene is taking place (within reason, generally), and enemies have a somewhat harder time hitting/shooting them. They also get access to a talent that gives Threat if they fail at a task but gain Momentum if they succeed. Combine this with some teamwork talents and the ship will be swimming in Momentum in no time, but fail too much and shit could get rough. All in all, decent rules to use if you're on a Galaxy class or a space station but will be harder to integrate in earlier eras of the game.
