Star Trek: Sons of Liberty

Star Trek: Sons of Liberty is a sequel/spin-off of Star Trek: Pendragon, written by T.L. Morgan. The series begins in 2386, and follows the adventures of Ben Bartholomew, Michael Eddington, Ro Laren and other former Maquis members and their allies as they build and protect the Colonial Alliance, and investigate the ancient worlds and technology discovered in the Badlands.

Similar to the fifth season of Babylon 5, the early episodes deal with the Colonial Alliance's "empire-building," and its political relations with its neighbors like the Cardassian Union, Tzenkethi Coalition and Talarian Republic. Later seasons broaden the series' horizon and set the stage for other spin-offs set in the Pendragon timeline.
