== About this mainframe ==

This wiki is the '''historical mainframe''' for '''Star Trek: Freedom''' — a searchable archive of nearly three decades of collaborative Play-by-Email storytelling.

It is '''not''' the game itself. Think of it as Starfleet's long-term memory bank:

* '''Canon and continuity''' — what happened, when, and who was involved
* '''Character and crew records''' — biographies, ranks, assignments
* '''Fleet registry''' — ships, starbases, decommissioned vessels
* '''Timelines and lore''' — wars, regions, factions, and story arcs across multiple eras

The [https://startrekfreedom.com main site] is the '''live LCARS terminal''' — recruitment, current missions, and active compiles. '''This wiki''' is where you research the history behind the stories.

== What's in the database ==

=== Setting & timeline ===

* [[Timeline]] — major events from the Federation Civil War through the 2446 era
* [[History]] — overview of game history and story periods
* [[Federation Civil War]] · [[Region]] · [[Charter]]
* [[ABOUT US]] — setting summary for the current 2446 timeline
* [[Remae Ktell]] · [[Admiral Doenitz]] — key figures in fleet history

=== Fleet & facilities (current era) ===

* [[52nd Fleet]] — task force overview and status
* [[Starbase Freedom]] — diplomatic hub (CO: Captain Casian Dar)
* [[USS Hades]] — NCC 640637-A (CO: Captain Keira Merek)
* [[USS Republic]] · [[Mars Defense Perimeter]] · [[Starfleet]]

=== Archives & legacy records ===

* [[Category:Historical vessels]] — decommissioned ships and starbases (prior eras)
* [[Category:Characters]] — personnel files
* [[Pbem]] · [[Forums]] — legacy community documentation
* [[ACADEMY]] — training and character-creation reference

Older articles may describe pre-2446 storylines. Where setting has been revamp'd, see '''current-era''' pages above; legacy lore is preserved for continuity research.
