Star Trek: Shadowstar Station

Star Trek: Shadowstar Station is a fan fiction series.

The focus is mostly on a Salem-class space station, Shadowstar Station (SFR-721), built in the late 23rd century, though tales of individual characters when they were officers on different Starfleet vessels or facilities exist. Many stories focus on a flight test team (nicknamed Team Shadowstar) based on the station.

Continuity differences

The continuity of this series is similar, though not identical, to that of Star Trek: Accord, and Star Trek: Malverne. Among the divergences from those continuities is that, in the Star Trek: Shadowstar Station timeline:

• the 1960s space race had more advanced technology, some reverse-engineered from extraterrestrial technology or Earth technology from the future;
• the Eugenics Wars was more akin to a Twilight 2000 type of scenario, rather than the covert conflict of Greg Cox's novels;
• a large Western country with nuclear capabilities was under the control of other sovereign nations during a period called the Interregnum;
• a second American civil war occurs in the late 2020s; and
• the United States of America was fragmented in the late 21st century and didn't reunite until the early 22nd century.

As well, some of the events in Trek history -- e.g., Shaun Geoffrey Christopher's Earth-Saturn probe, and the Tomed Incident -- revealed in novels published by Pocket Books happened differently in Shadowstar continuity.

Relationship to Starfleet International

Shadowstar Station was a Starfleet International chapter for a very short time, from 1995 (where it was a chapter-in-training) to circa 1997 or 1998. The primary authors were members of that parent organization from 1987 to 2007, ? to 2016, and 2021 to 2026 (in the case of Rahadyan) and 1989 to 1998 (Hartriono).

post-Starfleet International

In 2011, Rahadyan Sastrowardoyo began outlining and writing more stories set in Shadowstar's continuity, including the adventures of different agents tasked by the Federation Department of Temporal Investigations to repair the timeline.

After a hiatus of many years, Sastrowardoyo began writing fanfic again in 2025, with stories published in the Sciences (Event Horizon) and Medical (Hypospray) newsletters of Starfleet International, available as PDFs on its website. These newsletters are also distributed via email to members of the organization.

The stories published in 2025 and 2026 were "Rescue the Perishing", "Merciful", "Provenances", "WWWDD", and "Extrasolar".

There is currently no website for Star Trek: Shadowstar Station, though some short stories set in that continuity have been published in hardcopy and online PDFs.
