We offer the highest quality Star Trek role-playing experience on the internet today while providing a friendly online community. Founded in 1994, our group has been in continuous operation and evolution since, writing collaborative Star Trek adventures.
No experience or extra software required.
Within just a few days, we will train you in how to play the game, introduce you to other new players, and assign you to one of our long-standing vessels playing a wide range of missions from space exploration and science intrigue, to full-scale starship battles.
You will improve your writing skills, meet players from all over the world, and read some of the best Star Trek fiction around.
Immerse yourself in a cutting edge roleplaying experience in constant development since 1994. We're proud of our achievements and you could be part of our future.
We endeavour to provide an amazing experience for everyone who’s a part of our community. We ask that all new members take part in a week-long training course to acclimate them to our way of simming. You’ll have fun, meet new people, and learn a few things while you’re at it!
Our application guides you through creating the basics of creating a character so you can jump into one of our training scenarios with our experienced trainers. Don't know how to play? Don't worry. We’ve honed our method for over 20 years and are highly successful at quickly bringing new members like you into the game.
The training consists of a practice simulation where you and your fellow applicants will be assigned positions on a cadet cruise and will receive orders to complete a fun, easy, mission tailored to explain everything you need to know about how to sim. Because of this, no previous role-playing experience is required to join our group.
Every day in training, you will receive tutorials about our game, covering everything that we can’t fit into the sim itself. Everyone on our team is eager to help you succeed and answer any questions you have, no matter how basic they seem! Each class lasts between five and eight days, and upon completion, you’ll be assigned to one of the ships in our fleet, a fresh-faced ensign ready for duty!
We run classes every week in our Academy so you can jump right into the action.
Discover new friends, writers, and fellow fans in an active roleplaying game and vibrant community with a rich history. Join our Discord server for monthly chats, regular events and our fleetwide annual awards ceremony.
We put a strong focus on writing and roleplaying collaboration. You'll get expert guidance from friendly mentors and your writing will improve just from working with other amazing members of your crew!
Our extracurricular taskforces are an outlet for anyone looking to meet people from across the fleet and help out. Help build our wiki, run live events, train new members, or run our social media accounts.
It's all going on here, from our monthly chats and friendly challenges to our annual awards ceremony. Respond to writing prompts, show off your trivia prowess, or get into our Star Trek Online gaming community.
We believe diversity boosts innovation and creativity in our members, and our commitment to gender and racial diversity has set us apart time and time again from other groups.
You don't have to be in a server region or specific location. Our players are based all around the world, giving our community a diverse and fantastic feel. Connect with people from all walks of life.
Thrive within our Fleet network community and get to know other Fleet members through our dedicated Discord server, packed with custom emojis and an incredibly friendly atmosphere.
Over 70% of our members have been with us for at least a year, and over 20% have been here for at least three years – all because we value our members and do everything in our power to make our community a deep and engaging experience.
Think of our game like writing a big Star Trek novel with a bunch of friends. Each of you has a character, and you write your piece of the story every few days. Those pieces of the story add up to a plot that lasts a few weeks, which is part of the ship’s larger narrative. You’ll receive other people’s pieces of the story via emails to your email inbox, and you simply reply to a special email address for everyone to receive your part of the story.
Applying for membership and playing the game is entirely free. Our group is volunteer run and supported by donations.
Our sim operates in the “prime” timeline of Star Trek, which includes everything before the events which occurred in the 2009 movie directed by J.J. Abrams, and also includes the destruction of Nero’s homeworld, Romulus. The events of the rest of the movie, such as Kirk’s father dying on the USS Kelvin, did not occur in our timeline. The events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, and Voyager are all a part of our history and canon. For more information, check out the StarBase 118 Universe Primer to learn about what’s been happening in the “prime” universe since 2379!
Training groups begin every Monday. You should apply to join today by completing this tour and submitting your application!
Very! Check out our Community News, our forums, and recent changes on our wiki for a taste of how much is going on around the fleet. On the next page of the tour, you can also click on the “archive” link for each ship to see how active each ship is.
No. Emails will arrive at your inbox throughout the day, and you can read and respond with your own piece of the story at whatever time is best for you. We host monthly Fleetwide Chats on Discord for everyone to participate in and you are given plenty of notice if you want to attend!
To keep up with most ships, you’ll need to submit a piece of the story at least three times a week. (During training, we’ll ask you how often you plan to play, and you’ll have the chance to decide whether you would like a faster or slower playing ship.)
Once you have attained the rank of Lieutenant, you may play up to two characters on two different vessels. But even before that, you’re welcome to create minor characters used on your current ship to help facilitate the plot and interact with your character on a daily basis. And you’re always welcome to retire your current character and replace him or her with a new character.
Consider the roles you were most drawn to when you watched Star Trek. Do you love the idea of piloting a starship? You’d make a great helm officer! Or perhaps you want the thrill of being the first person to respond to a call for help during an away mission? Security is the place for you. Maybe you loved watching Dr. Crusher and Voyager’s Doctor use the medical database to solve a particularly vexing illness from spreading through the crew? You should play a medical officer. Check out the duty post area on our wiki for more information about each role, and the duty post availability page to learn which roles are at capacity in our fleet, and which have the greatest need for players.
Please welcome our newest Academy graduates to the StarBase 118 fleet: Nefari Dulhart and John Sonak! We also welcome back: T’Lar and Hiro Jones!
