Star Trek: Banshee Squadron


 * "In the darkness beyond the Briar Patch, a monstrous evil lurks just out of sight, poised to devour all sentient life in the galaxy. On the peaceful frontier planet Serenity, caught between warring empires, Lee Carter and her Banshee Squadron are pulled into the struggle that will decide the fate of humanity!"

Overview
Banshee Squadron is a fan fiction series written by Richard A. Merk. The stories are illustrated by photomanipulations and CGI artwork. The series follows the adventures of Commander Lee Carter and her squadron of starfighter pilots as they tame the dangerous frontier beyond the Briar Patch, explore strange new worlds, and battle their nemesis, the Smelly Jelly.

A number of series characters left Banshee Squadron to star in their own collection of stories called The Adventures of Absalom West. Eventually, most of the remaining characters transitioned into a follow-up series entitled Eon & Eternity. All three series are still collectively referred to as "Banshee Squadron".

Banshee Squadron is part of the TrekCreative Writer's Guild.

Continuity
Star Trek: Banshee Squadron adheres to the continuity of TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, the first 10 motion pictures, and most of ENT. Since the details of Banshee Squadron were established before Enterprise was aired, there is minor divergence from official canon, specifically, the location of the Briar Patch.

In addition, some non-canon reference materials are used, including Franz Joseph's Technical Manual, The Spaceflight Chronology, and Star Trek Star Charts
