Publication history
After the folding of Task Force Games and the cancellation of the original Prime Directive line, Amarillo Design Bureau, Inc., the new publishers of Star Fleet Universe games, were left with the question of what to do with PD. They were primarily a wargame company, and the poor sales of the supplements were cause for a reexamination. Eventually, they approached Steve Jackson Games to use the Powered by GURPS format.
GURPS Prime Directive, depicts the world of Star Fleet Battles, and is part of the "Powered by GURPS" line. It was published in 2002 under license by Amarillo Design Bureau. Task Force Games produced GURPS Prime Directive for the third (2000) and fourth edition (2004) of GURPS.
