Prime Directive is the roleplaying game extension of the long-running Star Fleet Battles wargame series created by Amarillo Design Bureau. Prime Directive allows you to create actual crewmembers for the ships of the SFB universe.
The original version focused on on small, specially trained and equipped "Prime Teams" who were sent on exceptionally dangerous missions. It featured its own unique RPG "engine" which many players found confusing and limited in its character development abilities.
The more recent versions of the RPG allows for more flexibility in character creation, as the game's base format has been licensed in three different gaming system versions:

  • A GURPS-based version, produced by Steve Jackson Games;
  • A d6-System-based version, produced by West End Games; and
  • a D20-system-based version, produced by Wizards of the Coast.

Each version has its pros and cons in gameplay options, but all allow for more than just the basic "shoot-em-up" characterizations of the original version.
