Star Trek: Independence

For the adventures of the Sovereign-class USS Independence (NX-90201), see Starship Independence.

Star Trek: Independence is part of the United Trek fan fiction universe. The series was originally posted in a script format, but was later re-posted in prose form.

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

The first season (2376) takes place aboard the newly commissioned USS Independence (NCC-77199).

In 2377 onward, the series takes place on the "new" Independence.
