When the FGN Squadrons split, I believe that the FGN lost a spark that set it off in the first place, the spark of being a community working together for the better development of the game as a whole. The split of the game was indeed the right choice given the problems that had occurred and it saved the FGN but changed it fundamentally at the same time.

Freedom Squadron left the FGN officially in July 2003 but in reality over a year had gone by without any real influence or guidance from the FGN. We started our own site, mailing lists and eventually our own Academy, Instructors, Command Staff and so many other things to make Freedom Squadron unique in the sea of PBeMs out there, all trying to get a share of a decreasing population of applicants.

Freedom Squadron was officially renamed Star Trek: Freedom and then tasked to explore a new area of space as detailed in other documentation.

The website is the focal point of the game, it defines who we are, what we're about and allows all members to see and communicate to one another either directly, in the forums or through their bios.
