Reborn & Moving Forward
After the new Star Trek movie came out and introduced the concept of the altered timeline with a who new trek-verse, several of us got together, became excited and said … “This is where we want to play! … These are the stories we want to write!”
It breathed life into Star Trek: Frontiers which had [...]
Birth of the U.S.S. Andúril
Star Trek: Frontiers is pleased to announce the addition of the U.S.S. Andúril to the “Foundations” series writing universe.
Unlike such writing units as the U.S.S. Pathfinder which is a full RPG writing group, the Andúril enters the universe as a fan fiction written by Mike Tripp.
You heard it correctly … fan fiction.
ST:F has opened their [...]
STF Has New Server To Call Home
Star Trek: Frontiers is currently in the process of transferring our websites to a new server where our mailing lists are finding homes in archives we control and have ownership of.
Likewise, our esteemed “Bureau of Information” website has shifted into a subdomain of the Foundations website at http://boi.starfleetfoundations.com.

Now Arriving … minus lens flare
The U.S.S. Pathfinder makes orbit over a planet within the Hatteran Expanse.

Decided to make a copy of this image without the lens flare effects which I feel gives it a cleaner look.
Now Arriving . . .

This evening after the end of my work shift, I settled in to work on a new logo which required me to make a few renderings of a few different planets using Studio Max.
But before it was over, I found [...]
Starship Registries / Class Listings Added
Just a quick note to let everyone know that we have started the official online ship registry database to track ships within the universe.

Basically, it has those that we know about with others added (as well as status changes recorded) as they are developed in story.
Also, we have begun work [...]
The Epsilon Indi Fleet Yards
As the United Federation of Planets grows and its Star Fleet with it, it stands to reason that the shipyards managed by the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers would see an expansion as well.
After all, times of growth normally mean an expansion in resources.
In this case, we are moving from the standpoint that the Federation [...]
Introducing The New CONSTITUTION-class
Work continues on the Constitution-class Heavy Cruiser.
Please note these are not quite finalized but we are getting very, very close!
In the redesigning of this class, we took into account the debate as to if the ship is indeed larger than the original.
In searching for those answers, I found the following from an interview J.J. Abrams [...]
Developing The Dedication Plaques
Something I have been considering the past couple of days has been what the dedication plaques aboard the ships of an altered 2265 timeline might looked like.
The Trek franchise has already shown us that the one aboard the original TOS Enterprise was much, much simplier than that aboard those in the later centuries represented in [...]
The year is 2265. seven years have passed since the name Vulcan passed from a desert world to a black hole absorbing all that step too close.
