Star Trek The Motion Picture - Rules for Adventures in the Final Frontier (3MB PDF)
White Dwarf is the insanely old UK magazine dedicated to science fiction and fantasy wargames, miniatures and role-playing games. It started its run in 1977 and is still going today, although its focus has been almost exclusively on publisher Games Workshop's own gaming products since the mid-80s.
In early 1979, GW helped form the spinoff company Citadel Miniatures, which itself partnered with Ral Partha miniatures here in the States for manufacturing and distribution. Citadel released miniatures based on a number of licensed properties including games such as Traveller, D&D and RuneQuest, and other media properties such as Doctor Who, Judge Dredd and, in 1980, Star Trek. Specifically, miniatures based on the 1979 film Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
White Dwarf published a 4-page article in its April/May 1980 issue (#18) called "Star Trek The Motion Picture - Rules for Adventures in the Final Frontier" by GW/WD regulars Tony Yates (artist, AD&D Field Folio) and Steve Jackson (no, not that one, but rather the WD Editor and co-founder of GW, who probably is long tired of disclaimers like this after his name). The article consisted of about a page-and-a-half of actual rules, a game scenario, a map of the Enterprise Main Bridge (TOS version), and a one page "Alien Descriptions & Painting Guide".
The game requires miniature figures, three D6 and a pair of 20-sided percentage dice, and a ruler to determine movement, range, line-of-sight and so on.
