Welcome to the 25ᵗʰ Century.
Deep Space 13, known to locals as Port Dreizhen, is an imitation Federation station built to exact perfection as a Romulan training facility.
The station has been surrendered with its entire star system to the Federation as part of the ongoing Romulan collapse. Starfleet has sent a crew to secure and establish the post, with the assistance of the Romulan Free State.
DS13 is two weeks from Federation space at high warp and is officially the furthest outpost into the region approaching the galactic core and Beta-Delta Quadrant border.
In an orbit mirroring that of the Dreizhen system's third planet, an anomaly has been discovered. It is a window between universes, its destination shifts randomly approximately once a week.
It is 2402. The Federation celebrates the passing of the last dark years of the 24th century, and the peace that those sacrifices have brought.
It is a new century, and Deep Space 13 is the Federation’s newest and strangest asset. It will be the last port of call before the deepest unexplored space, in an idyllic star system full of ancient mysteries.
Deep Space 13 is a Star Trek text-based RPG or 'Sim'. If you don't know what that is but want to, read this. In short, together we will write the crew of Deep Space 13 as they collaborate to further the Federation's mission of peaceful cooperation and exploration.
Our story is set in and from the perspective of the Star Trek universe, but through the interdimensional anomaly, we will explore the multiverse and encounter familiar and unfamiliar universes and their inhabitants.
The anomaly can take us to the sands of Tatooine, the lurid plains of Xen or the ruins of Valyria, the only limitation is our imaginations.

Yeoman Ayol stood waiting patiently outside the main access turbolift in the green zone, the unofficially named quarter of the civilian sector in the upper sphere where the Romulan population was concentrated.
Half an hour earlier Captain Rovak had contacted Commander Flynn and Lieutenants Thul and S’Lace, asking them to…

Thul and the security team had chased after the juggernaut Volsunga at the Captain's order. Under the collapsed roof of the upper cargo bay, Rovak and Saa had been injured by falling debris. Atna and Gaz were close at hand, administering what first aid they could to both.

Alex watched the extrauniversal arrival float in his ersatz prison cell inside the hemispherical lower dock. A holographic tile on the window magnified the image. He looked indifferent to his surroundings, floating in an almost fetal position, muttering to himself with his eyes closed. "Why is he naked?" Alex asked.…

"FOR THE EMPEROR!" Volsunga called out, his voice magnified and deepened to a terrifying battlecry. The enormous supersoldier was already a threatening presence when he was sluggishly moving and lifting his massive suit of power armour with his own strength, but now it's power systems had been restored, and he…
