Decision at Midnight is a 48-page RPG module released as part of FASA Corporation's Star Trek: The Role Playing Game, book #2219 of their catalog. Written by Rick D. Stuart, edited by Todd Huettel and illustrated by Gideon & Todd F. Marsh and released in 1986.

In the early 2280s decade, a Starfleet crew must decide how to deal with an unstable captain who orders them to blockade a newly-formed government along the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone border.

Description[]

The warble of phaser fire filled the empty corridors. Through the heavy smoke figures moved, closer now, almost within range. Lieutenant O'Shanter crouched lower behind a blasted bulkhead.

"Funny… I don't feel like a mutineer."

The gauge on his phaser showed the charge was almost gone. Maybe there was still time… if only he could talk with them, reason with them…

From behind him came a low throaty growl—a sound no Human voice could ever make. Turning slowly, Tam found himself face to face with the pale yellow eyes of Commander Brr'ynn. The Caitian's weapon never wavered as she licked her lips in anticipation.

"You tried to kill my captain…"

For Tam, time had just run out.
