Primarily an outline for an adventure of the U.S.S. Hastings for its Star Trek RPG, this is the closest FASA ever got to releasing a sourcebook for the Gorn. The Gorn culture here is your typical honor-bound sf warrior race-- essentially the Klingons, though FASA can be excused for the overlap, as the Klingon culture hadn't really taken that form when this was published.
