Welcome to the 25ᵗʰ Century.

Deep Space 13, known to locals as Port Dreizhen, was once merely an imitation Federation station built to exact perfection as a Romulan training facility. Now it is the guardian of a gateway to the multiverse, an anomaly that links to alternative universes for around a week at a time.

The station has been surrendered with its entire star system to the Federation as part of the ongoing Romulan collapse. Starfleet has now established a fully operational crew of almost 10,000, with almost as many civilians from across the Galaxy, and burgeoning colonies settling on the desert world Dreizhen III.

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. Starfleet Command has it listed as a tactical priority, even if the fastest slipstream ships can be there in three days.

What was once a curiosity converted into a maintenance facility is now a fully operating frontline defensive and exploratory installation, with crew from half a dozen realities aboard.

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 Arrakis, the lurid plains of Zharr-Naggrund or the ruins of Ravenholme, the only limitation is our imaginations.


If you'd like to know more, catch up on the story so far, read our mission logs, learn about our crew, take the tour, or join our discord.

All players must be at least 18 years of age. This sim may contain mature content with a 3-2-2 rating, but explicit smut and gratuitous brutality are not permitted.

We are hosted by SimCentral. All players must be registered in the SimCentral discord as per the terms of our hosting agreement. All characters must be original. Our other rules are found here.

Almost every position filled by an NPC can be made available for players upon request. If you can envision a position that isn't listed, feel free to ask about it.

Please note the tactical support department is only available for players who have a character in another department, players cannot solely play a tactical support character.

If you think you have what it takes, join us.
