Here is the scenario. You are playing Star Trek Adventures. Something on the bridge of your ship blows up causing a complication like “main sensors are out”. You could simply roll to fix the complication, look up at the GM, and say “It’s fixed!”

Or, like a true Star Trek aficionado, you cock an eyebrow, say to the GM, “We need to reroute emergency power through the axionic deflector shell. That should compensate for the static discharge,” and then roll the dice.

Well, here are some tools to help you polish your technobabble and be the true Star Trek hero you want to be!

The Technobabble Generator from SciFi Ideas.com is amazing. They created a technobabble generator to help writers add technical jargon to their science fiction works.

When I do, I will give it the credit it deserves.) The fourth is hosted by Ennead Games. Star Trek Technobabble Generator
