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.
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.
If you'd like to know more, read our story, 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. Our other rules are found here.
If you think you have what it takes, join us.
This site is best viewed on a non-mobile device. The crew manifest takes a bit longer to load than other pages (about 30 seconds), and we are still trying to figure out how to change the rating at the bottom of the page.

The three runabouts penetrated the 22nd moon's thin envelope of atmosphere, coming to a gentle stop fifty meters above the thick crust of ice that enclosed its planetary sea. The orange glow of Dreizhen V filled the sky above them.

"Hou Yi to survey teams." Atna's even voice transmitted to the other two shuttles, as well as the support shuttles further away from orbit. "We have encountered a telepathic distress signal, only apparent to those of us with natural telepathic abilities. Have you experienced the same?"
"This is the Gascoyne,…
