Star Trek: The Farthest Star (TFS) is a Star Trek-based fan fiction series primarily based during the 24th century in the prime timeline.
History[]
Star Trek: The Farthest Star originally started life as Star Trek: Swiftfire (SWF) in 1999, as a series primarily focused on the adventures of the USS Swiftfire-A during the Dominion War. Several years later, TFS would first be used as a title to label non-Swiftfire stories. It was decided in 2014 that TFS would become the series's new name as it better represented how the continuity had expanded beyond the USS Swiftfire-A.
In 2016, the series' main continuity was completely rebooted, and nearly all of the existing works at the time were removed. The exceptions were the alternate universe stories "A New Path" and "The Final Prophecy" and the two stories that were part of the Star Trek: Unity crossover. The latter were then removed when the Star Trek: Unity website was taken down several years later.
As of 2026, the majority of pre-existing works remained unavailable. The series comprises a limited number of stories drawn from both older material and newly written works. These are presented as individual, largely standalone stories rather than focusing on a single ship or continuous narrative.
Stories[]
Stories in TFS are split into series. The main component is the TFS main continuity, which are stories that take place within the series' main continuity, which is set in the canon prime universe.
There are currently two sub-series. The first is Spectrum, which covers stories that take place in alternate timelines from the main TFS continuity. The second is Swiftfire, which are stories that focus on the adventures of the USS Swiftfire in the TFS continuity.
