Star Trek: Freedom is a free play-by-email RPG set in the era described below. Create your Starfleet officer and join active missions in 10 minutes.

The Setting

The Federation has lost its way and become vulnerable to hostile forces. Several member worlds have left, creating a dark and unpredictable time.

Admiral Remae Ktell is assigned to run the newly reinvented Mars Defense Perimeter (MDP). The Federation has decided to rebuild from the inside out, starting with its core assets in the Sol System. Andor has withdrawn, taking its technology, including heavily weaponized systems, with it.

The Admiral is tasked with overseeing the combined station and building a team to restore Starfleet's presence in the Alpha Quadrant. This new team must investigate the status of the fleet, outposts, and Federation allies, determining who remains a friend and who has become an adversary.

The 52nd Fleet

Star Trek : Freedom chronicles the adventures of the 52nd Fleet, a Federation task force operating during a time of internal crisis. After the Federation civil war ended in 2408, Starfleet adopted a defensive posture that led to contraction and the disbanding of most fleets, including the 52nd Fleet in 2431. For a complete history of these events, see our Timeline.

Following "The Incident" in 2443, when Earth was attacked and millions were killed, President Stiave Atremi was elected and tasked Admiral Remae Ktell with rebuilding Starfleet. The 52nd Fleet was reformed, beginning operations from the Mars Defense Perimeter in 2444. Learn more about the rebuilding efforts in our Flashback section.

The fleet faced the growing threat of the rogue Admiral Doenitz and his faction of breakaway Starfleet forces. After a brutal conflict, Admiral Doenitz was defeated, and the Federation began to rebuild in earnest.

The fleet currently operates key assets including Starbase Freedom and USS Hades, working to restore Federation influence and protect member worlds. Explore our Fleet and Starfleet pages to learn more about current operations. Learn more about the Federation Civil War that shaped this period.

About Star Trek : Freedom

Star Trek : Freedom is a free, long-running Star Trek role-playing game that began as a traditional PBeM with a close-knit membership. Since 1997, we have grown into a broader community-driven Star Trek project, supporting banner exchanges, links, forums, top lists, and now a fully restored and expanding wiki archive.

Our game is set in the year 2446. Two years ago, we revamped the game, originally founded in 1997, to align with the current canon timeline. This includes the destruction of Romulus and the concept of a contracting Federation, aligning with events depicted in modern Star Trek series.

Although we love playing in the timeline of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, those shows are decades old and we've explored them extensively. We're refreshing our game to appeal to both a new generation of players and longtime fans.

Star Trek : Freedom focuses on collaborative storytelling, character development, and long-form narrative set within an original Star Trek era.

Community & Resources

Our community includes forums, banner exchanges, links & top lists, and a comprehensive wiki that preserves canon, continuity, characters, ships, timelines, and creative history from nearly three decades of collaborative storytelling.

Introduction to Star Trek : Freedom
"You all... disappeared... at a delicate time for the Federation. You might recall a war we waged, that trifling matter that engaged our attention for a year?" he asked, in only slightly sarcastic terms. "Look at it this way, the cream of the rebel crop suddenly up and vanished like a fart in the wind, not long after the... uh... trials had begun. You all scared the hell out of the poor bastards at Starfleet Command, and I'm fairly sure the President and his cabinet suffered a case of explosive anal leakage once news reached them. So, when I ask 'Where the hell have you been?’, What I really meant was 'Are any of you aware of the hell you've raised, do you know WHY you were taken, and is this part of a plot to undermine the authority of Starfleet and the Federation?’. I thought I’d put it in polite terms, perhaps I was mistaken in this endeavor. I assure you, I will not make the same mistake twice.” ~Admiral Robert LoDona (ret) on the arrival of the 52nd Fleet, Stardate: 2413.09.23

The War is Over... That which was began in anger has settled into an uneasy peace. The ravages of war, which nearly destroyed the Federation, have only begun to be repaired. Billions lay dead under the dust of fifty planets, their memories and legacy bright in the thoughts of the living. Starfleet, under the watchful eye of a government paranoid about its military institution, struggles to rebuild its ships and regain the trust it lost under the Military Dictatorship of Admiral Doenitz. The Rebels, at first hailed as heroes, are now eyed with the same anger and hatred as the men who subverted the government in the first place. Their pleas for clemency drowned out by the weeping voices of mothers and wives whose children were lost in the heat of battle. Trials of War Crimes and Misconduct spread rapidly through the fleet, bringing with them feelings of resentment from soldiers who gave their all for survival of the Federation. Distrust and resentment... anger and fear... fueled by the sudden disappearance of the very fleet which started the War. For reasons unknown, the 52nd Fleet disappeared and left the war-torn Federation to lick its wounds on its own. And five years later, amidst a storm of controversy, they reappeared. Each Captain told a story of mystery, of spacial anomalies and time jumps. But who believes them? Teams of scientists, security guards and Admirals have sought the truth, but truth is not always as expedient as lies in the Halls of Government. And those who plot can always find use for a fleet shrouded in distrust... The Playing World The World of Star Trek: Freedom has changed. The War is over, yet the Federation still groans under the injuries it sustained. Five years have passed since the Captains of the rebel fleet struck at Earth, and distrust lingers thickly. The 52nd Fleet has again been assigned to the sector of space it inhabited so long ago, at the terminus of the Subspace River. Months away at High Warp, weeks away by the River, they have been tasked with finishing the mapping and exploration that they never had a chance to start when they chose their sector as a base of operations during wartime. Starfleet is still rebuilding, the fleet has built many small ships for exploration purposes, but no other vessel had made it to where the 52nd Fleet had once staged its raids. Therefore, the space at this far terminus is still pristine and untouched, unmapped, unseen by Federation eyes. There are those who think that the 52nd Fleet, being so far away from the center of power, will hinder any delusions of Grandeur the Admirals and Captains of the 52nd might hold: if indeed there are any delusions to be had. Yet there are those who still remember that the 52nd was the first to rise up in rebellion all those years before, even given their distance. The fleet will be watched continually for any signs of rebellion, for any hint that their five year exodus was a ruse designed to destabilize a government already close to tipping. Will the men and women of the 52nd fleet survive in a world filled by distrust? Can they help bring the Federation out of the darkness which has consumed it? Will the Federation's neighbors decide that this would be the perfect time for an invasion, while the government and the people of the federation are distracted? Only time will tell.
