Star Trek: The Farthest Star

Star Trek: Swiftfire is a Star Trek-based fan fiction series set in the 24th century during the era, centred around the adventures of the USS Swiftfire (NCC-76125-A).

History
The series was born in 1999 with the writing of "The Darkness Within", set prior to the beginning of the series. That story along with another pre-series story were first made available online in 2000. The series proper would start in 2001, when the first season became available online. Set during the Dominion War the series naturally has a heavy  influence.

The series is organised into numbered seasons, each with 10 episodes. Currently the series is into its third season. There are also a number of "special" episodes, which are set in the same continuity but are not included within the seasons.

Canon and continuity
Star Trek: Swiftfire continuity includes:


 * Star Trek films (I-XI)
 * Star Trek: Unity (crossover)
 * Star Trek films (I-XI)

Certain elements from non-canon works (eg Andorian gender, Hazard suits, etc) are included however no non-canon work has yet to be included in its entirety into the series' continuity.

The series has also been heavily influenced by the unofficial RPG works by Steven Long, particularly. His Ship Recognition Manuals have also become the source for many non-canon ship classes and information relating to canon designs used in the series.
