Star Trek : Freedom chronicles the adventures of the 52nd Fleet, a Federation task force operating during a time of rebuilding and renewal. After the defeat of Admiral Doenitz and his breakaway Starfleet forces, the Federation has begun the long process of rebuilding. Our fleet assets, including Starbase Freedom and USS Hades, work to restore Federation influence, protect member worlds, and resume exploration missions across the Alpha Quadrant.
With the arrival of the latest TV shows, we have the opportunity to update and restart our game, to add in the new concepts we've seen in ST: Discovery, ST: Picard and ST: Strange New Worlds. We intend to have fun together as we explore this new universe.
Everyone is welcome, and you do not need to know how to write, how to spell or too much about Star Trek. If you like the idea of writing with other people, to develop your vision and your impressions of Star Trek, consider joining us today.

Read Mission Excerpt
