The First Year Sourcebook was a The Next Generation role-playing game supplement published by the FASA Corporation to adapt their earlier The Original Series-era RPG material to the relatively new TNG continuation of the franchise. Published in 1989, the First Year Sourcebook covered several key plot points from TNG's first season. Some material from this supplement was adapted from the previous book, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual. Soon after the release of the TNG update materials, issues between FASA and the licensing office at Paramount Pictures would cause the discontinuation of the FASA RPG series.
