Star Trek: Independence

Star Trek: Independence is a fan fiction series. The series was orginally posted in a script format, but later re-posted in prose form. It has a "TV-series" feel to it as a result. It can be found at: | Trek BBS.com.

The series takes place in the immediate aftermath of the Dominion War on a new Courageous class ship; the USS Independence (NCC-79650).

The Courageous class is a Star Trek: Bridge Commander model created by Queball / MayhemUK. | BC Files.com, Courageous class

The crew, with a relatively inexperienced captain, a disgraced former captain serving as 1st officer, and several other personality conflicts are only one aspect of the series. Not only do they have to contend with each other but the chaos and uncertainly of 'winning the peace.' It doesn't help matters that the secretive "Section 31" has an eye on them.
