Changes: Star Trek: Banshee Squadron

Revision as of 04:10, 15 May 2010

"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.

Space... the final frontier.
These are the adventures of Banshee Squadron.
Their ongoing mission:
To safeguard Federation worlds,
To defend our lives and our civilizations,
To boldly go where no man dares to go!

The main characters originated in the late 1990's in several play-by-email role-playing games belonging to the now-defunct Deep Range Fleet. Over the years they evolved from minor background characters to major players until they broke away and formed the Banshee Squadron fanfic series, based in part on the old pbems.

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, the Trek Writers Guild, and the STPMA

Continuity

Star Trek: Banshee Squadron adheres fairly closely to the continuity of all Star Trek series and movies including TAS and Star Trek. Since the details of Banshee Squadron were established before ENT was aired, there is minor divergence from official canon in the location of the Briar Patch.

In addition, some classic non-canon reference materials exert a strong influence on Banshee Squadron, including Franz Joseph's Star Fleet Technical Manual, the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, and Star Trek: Star Charts.
