About this mainframe[edit]

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

  • 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 main site is the live LCARS terminal — recruitment, current missions, and active compiles. This wiki is where you research the history behind the stories.
