| colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''Our Timeline'''
|-
| colspan="4" align="left" | Star Trek: Freedom’s history begins before the ending of Star Trek Voyager and so a timeline exists that takes into account the fact that we knew they would come home, just not how. Several major events that occurred in canon history, may not be in Star Trek: Freedom’s history.

Below is a timeline encompassing some of the changes that have occurred and how Star Trek Freedom departs from canon events. A complete timeline can be found on our website.

| colspan="4" border="1"|Cardassian criminal Gul Dulon leads rebellion on Cardassia. The Cardassians attack and occupy Starbase
968. Starbase 45 is destroyed by Captain Julius Phelps, his mind under the control of Gul Dulon, who also
possessed a trilithium weapon and the USS Spearhead.

Dulon’s plan to destroy the Earth’s star was averted at the cost of the USS Titan and the star Proxima Centuari, with great loss of life and environmental devastation on the inhabited worlds of the Centauri system. The Borg attack SB23, but are repelled. Admiral Grange is captured and assimilated during the attack.

He is eventually rescued.

The Federation signs the ‘Accord of Three’ with the RSE and the Lans Confederation in order to set-up
a defense strategy against the Chudoxn. A Triumvirate leadership board is set up on Arylne Hru, a large,
planet-based installation located on the Romulan Star Empire protectorate planet Fvillhaih Arylne.

The Halla virus, which increases the aggression of the infected, spreads to Federation, Romulan, and
Klingon ships which were exploring the Gamma Quadrant.

The Klingon and Romulan forces believe that they are at war with the Federation and attack the Federation Starbase at DSG1 which was not infected. The station was badly damaged but holds out long enough for Federation reinforcements arrived lead by the USS Relentless.
|-
| colspan="1" border="1"|2405
| colspan="4" border="1"|Early in 2405, several ships mysteriously appear near Earth. One is an Alternate Universe USS Spectre. The crew is debriefed and retrained, and eventually assigned to Starbase Valhalla in orbit with Utopia
Planitia Fleet Yards at Mars.

The 52nd Fleet is officially launched. Station Geneva, USS Nimitz, USS Wraith, USS Freedom, USS Boudicca and the Cochrane Research Facility are assigned to the squadron.

The entire squadron meets at Station Geneva before being sent out on planetary surveys of Sector 221-G.

An unstable wormhole opens, staying open just long enough for a Sovereign class ship, the USS Paladin, under the command of Captain Eva Straton to come through. The ship is from an Alternate universe just after the conclusion of the ‘Dominion Wars’ many years before. The ship is scrapped and the crew reassigned after debriefing.

The USS Nimitz is attacked by Romulans, later crawls back to Station Geneva where she once again is faced with Tal Shiar who want to destroy the ship and any information dealing with the attack.

Starbase Geneva is completed and commissioned by SCADO 12, Station Geneva is abandoned.

The Cochrane Research Facility’s crew are relocated to the USS Steadfast, which is re-christened “USS Cochrane”

Admiral Robert LoDona takes command of the 52nd Fleet when Admiral Greeley is sent to Earth for reassignment.
|-
| colspan="1" border="1"|2406
| colspan="4" border="1"|The USS Nimitz is chosen for a secret archeological mission, and disappears from all official channels for a month, before reappearing at Earth for debriefing and to challenge Admiral Doenitz, who tried to have her destroyed.

The USS Mithrandir is attacked during a diplomatic mission and her crew offloaded. The crew later regains control and make way back to Geneva with many casualties.

Admiral Robert LoDona becomes commander of the 52nd exploratory fleet; he later orders the entire fleet further into Beta Quadrant and launches a Quasi- Civil War with select members of the Starfleet Admiralty
|-
| colspan="1" border="1"|2407
| colspan="4" border="1"|The cold war is over and hostilities begin in earnest. Battles are fought throughout the Federation on many core worlds such as Andoria, Betazed, Vulcan, and Tellar. Andoria pays a heavy price in defiance of Admiral Doenitz and is razed. Slowly the 52nd Fleet begins to make headway and Doenitz’s forces are pushed back.

The USS Spectre mounts an away team mission on Betazed under the command of Captain Remae K'Tell to retrieve Debora Ansara, the niece of Federation renegade Admiral Rodrigo Doenitz. The Mission is a success but Captain Remae suffers an accident resulting in the loss of his lower limbs and is duly medically incapacitated from duty. First Officer T'Vhor assumes command of the Spectre.

The ships of the 52nd and their Klingon allies begin to mass for an attack on the Mars Defence Perimeter in a final push to end the Civil War.

During the battle for the MDP the USS Nimitz and the USS Champlain are destroyed, along with many other ships on both sides. The loss of life is horrendous. The USS Boudicca under the command of Commander Stakes manages to breach the defences of Starbase Valhalla and thus the 52nd is able to bring down the defence stations within the MDP and the 52nd is victorious.

As a direct response to information received during the Betazed retrieval mission, the Spectre is ordered into Romulan space under DOA (denial of awareness) clause, it's mission, to find and retrieve the usurped Federation President, Rondar Nell.

The USS Spectre successfully negotiates terms of ITD and the USS Alacrity, Swansea, Cathay, Wilhelm Steinitz and Kissimee form a specific battle group alongside the Klingon Vessels IKS B'Quaj'ah, Ha'Quj, Tong, Pach and the SuvwL'Vaj.

The new alliance battle group consisting of the above named vessels joins the battle at the MDP resulting in the fall of Starbase Valhalla.The battle for the Mars Defence Perimeter is decisive in ending the Civil War; Doenitz flees but is later arrested and imprisoned. President Rondar Nell is reinstated and the task of reconstruction and reconciliation begins
|-

| colspan="4" border="1"|Six months after the end of the Civil War, the ships of the 52nd are once more sent out on peaceful missions The USS Dennison is all but destroyed by what is believed to be a rogue SFI vessel; the ship is mothballed pending repairs and her crew is reassigned to the Nova-class USS Mithrandir-A.

Admiral LoDona and Captain Sevant are arrested. Fleet Admiral Jopek takes command of the 52nd Fleet based at Starbase Geneva

|-
| colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''Introduction'''
|-
| colspan="4" align="left" | It has been a productive set of years.

The original reorganization of FGN Freedom Squadron has led us through many twists, turns and through pitfalls. We now find ourselves standing firm in the face of yet another year in continual operation. And what a time it's been!

We still cling to the ideals in which we started, that we the Council provide a clean and fun place to meet others who share the same joy of writing and role-playing Star Trek. The Council has changed faces over the years; we've had our problems and our successes. And still, the Council and CO's list maintain the necessary balance for successfully running a large-scale game. With work, patience and a bit of luck, we will continue to succeed long after these first few years are forgotten.
|-
| colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''Past Council Members'''
|-
| colspan="4" align="left" | We thank the past Council Members for their time and duty to maintain an excellent gaming experience and for the upkeep a game such as Star Trek: Freedom requires.

Jeremy Trout, Al Muir, Liz Gueken, & Daniel Greene.
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''Current Council Members'''
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" | Currently the Council is made of 5 individuals who responsibilities are to keep Star Trek: Freedom running as the top Star Trek PBEM.

*Anthony Keen - Fleet CO
*Alan Reading - Fleet FO
*Wes Harden - Chief of Fleet
*Calvin Capps - Fleet Communications
*Darryl McDaniel - Academy CO & FO

|-
|colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''The Purpose of the Council'''
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" | The Council of Star Trek : Freedom shall be a separate ruling body, whose purpose is threefold and under constant revision to best suit the needs of the game.

1. To oversee operations of Star Trek : Freedom, and put into motion proposals and edicts for the good of the game.

2. To oversee larger conflict resolution that has progressed beyond a duty-station CO's ability to mediate. The reprimands and decisions of the council are both final and binding within Star Trek : Freedom.

3. To keep every member of Freedom informed of possible changes, and to carefully consider any changes that are mentioned or proposed by any or all members of the Fleet.

The power of the council is placed above that of the Duty Station CO's, though most routine decisions are made by a joint list of the entire COs. The Council has no say in the day to day operation of those vessels. Instead, their power rests in directing the Fleet as a whole to new paths and directions for the greater prosperity of all. The Council finalizes changes that will affect the whole of the Fleet, both in and out of game, and the Council also passes all items that change the way the Fleet operates.
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''Requirements of a Council Member'''
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" | In order to assure that those who would join the council are knowledgeable in Freedom matters and competent to command the squadron, the following conditions apply to all applicants to the council.

1. All applicants must have a PC in good standing within Star Trek : Freedom, and maintain that PC according to all posting rules during Council Rule.

2. All applicants shall have at least four months game-time experience (Academy time not included) in the game.

3. All applicants must be able to devote the needed time to council matters without having their duty stations suffer do to lack of attention. As a note, during normal weeks the council requires less then two hours of time. During events or special circumstances, it can easily hit a couple hours a day. Be aware of this in your considerations.

4. All Applicants must be approved for the selected council position in a unanimous vote by all current council members.
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''The Council and Command Lists'''
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" | All command officers of Star Trek : Freedom are on the Command mailing list, it is an excellent way for high command of the game to keep in touch. The council itself will use the command mailing list to pass down decisions, or proposals for discussion.

The Council itself has its own mailing list for council members to debate on, behind closed doors for privacy purposes. These mails will not be available for viewing without express council permission.

The command officers of Star Trek : Freedom will have every opportunity to pose questions and suggestions to the Council via the command list, and non-command officers will have access to the personal email addresses of Council members for reasons that supersede the chain of command. Otherwise, all suggestions should be routed through the chain of command, to the board.

It is not the intention of the Council to be hard to reach, or intimidating. The Council has been formed to meet and solve common problems that come with running a large-scale game with people of many cultures and creeds. Besides the obvious need for closed door decision making on delicate matters, everything else about the council and its proceedings will be open for discussion and questioning at will. Only sensitive or personal issues will be kept under wraps, until a decision is formed.

The Council will always provide motivation and reasons for its decisions, and any specific questions on past Council work can be directed in person to any council member via Email or Command list (through your CO, in that case).
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" style="background:#990000; color:white;" | '''The Freedom Fourms'''
|-
|colspan="4" align="left" | The forums have often proved to be useful in passing down essential information to squadron personnel without flooding the lists. As of late, they have not been used for any official communication however, and that will change. It is the intention of the council to begin using the Freedom Forums as a primary source of information, and question answering.

If possible, we will get the CO's to once again take an active interest in their vessels' forums, at least. With work, the Freedom Forums can once again become a very useful tool of the Fleet.
