Set right after the Bride of Chaotica and right before the Lighthouse is space worthy.

Players will be restricted to non Freedom League/main crew we see in the series.

No one can step into Harry Kim's shoes for example, but they can breathe life into background characters like the Ensign that helms Voyager when Tom is elsewhere.

Interesting idea.

What power levels did you have in mind? I know a Starfleet Ensign is likely to be well trained by 'mundane' standards but they'd still be very low ranking compared with actual superheroes.

PL 8, because an ensign can get blast or stun for low cost.
Also an ensign has a communicator.

I guess my question is this:

RP personalities aside, how do you make the ensigns feel unique mechanically? Won't they all essentially be equipped with the same general gear (phaser, triquarter, cmmunicator, ect), and then  just have a spread of skills. Sure you can make one or two aliens and say they have some extra strength or empathy or the ability to hold their breath.

But more or less the way they roll out is going to come down to 5-10pts on equipment, some stats, a few feats, and then where they'd like to place their skills.

PL 8 feels like a lot of points for what mostly must be skill-oriented characters. But maybe that's just me.

Well Ensigns aren't the only PCs allowed, I allow regular heroes as well.
Of course, this situation creates command changes as certain things come to light. I'm going to err on the side of more PP since they might adapt to a new world.
