STAR TREK: BORDERLANDS
Star Trek: Borderlands has been running continuously since 1995, making it one of the longest-running Star Trek roleplaying clubs (pbem) on the net. Its unique Duty Station organizational structure allows members to seamlessly move between different environments and role-playing opportunities, leading to a robust exchange of ideas and information among its member players. It's linked, yet free storylines allow for highly creative stories across the entire club. All of this plus its volunteer leadership structure combine to create a robust community experience quite different from most other Internet-based role-playing clubs. This resulting open and collaborative community is no doubt one of several elements responsible for Borderland’s extraordinary longevity and high quality.
The adventures take place 400year in the future and we follow the current year + 400y. So in 2025, we are playing as if the DSs were in 2425.
As references, the Cardassians Occupation ended in 2369, and Seven took command as Captain of the Enterprise in 2402.
=== DUTY STATIONS ===
ROMULAN STAR EMPIRE
Known for their cunning, secrecy, and militaristic culture, the Romulans are closely related to Vulcans, as both species share a common ancestry, but their societies developed in very different ways. Romulans value loyalty to their empire above all else and are often portrayed as nationalistic and xenophobic. They are governed by the Romulan Star Empire, which is hierarchical and led by the Praetor and the Senate. Unlike the logical and emotion-suppressing Vulcans, Romulans are deeply passionate and emotional, though they hide these emotions behind a façade of control.
* SES S'TASK
The SES S'Task is a d'Deridex-B Class Warbird serving the Romulan Empire. Named after the student of Surak, the first leader of the Romulan race, the S'Task holds great value for all Romulans everywhere. The S'Task's main duty is to patrol the Delta Quadrant while trying to hold diplomatic ties with their fairly new Federation allies. This is not always easy as disagreements between the Empire and the Federation occur. Due to the current diplomatic relations, the SES S'Task brings a new and thrilling atmosphere to the Star Trek RPG World.

DELTA FREEDOM ALLIANCE - DFA
About 20 years ago a group of SF officers rebelled against SF increasing militaristic posture and founded their version of the UFP in the Delta Quadrant.
* DFA CROMWELL
The DFA Cromwell, a Heimdall class ship, is the flagship of the newly formed Delta Freedom Alliance. The banner they follow is in fact the original symbol of the Federation, which typifies their goal. The Cromwell exists to supplant the current Federation with a peaceful discovery-oriented union modelled after the early years of the Federation.
The Cromwell is structured like any Starfleet vessel would be, wearing uniforms and following a chain of command. Come join our exciting multi player role playing game!
* DFA PRODIGY
Prodigy is elementary/high school ship and thus, this DS is unique and has an imaginative concept! It is ship dedicated for the education and growth of young minds. It is almost like mobile academy for children of DFA officers and civilians stationed in deep space.
The ship is equipped with advanced holodecks, science labs, and multicultural learning environments to teach children about the diversity of species and cultures within the Federation.
On this DS, you can join as child (student) or as a teacher (adult DFA Officer or Civilian)

STARFLEET / UFP
* STARBASE HORIZON II
Nestled in that precarious portion of space that comprises the Neutral Zone, Starbase Horizon stands at the edge of major change in the Delta Quadrant. A shining light of progress it inhabits the space above Devu II and Devu I, protecting the sector and furthering the goals of the Prime Directive.
Close to the Cardea Gateway, monumental in the signing of the Treaty of Horizon, home to the USS Dauntless, USS Endeavor and the USS Talisman, Starbase Horizon supports a diverse population of Starfleet Officers, Federation Marines and civilians. A center of commerce and trade, Starbase Horizon is a beacon of change and new life in the Delta Quadrant.
* USS DISCOVERY
The U.S.S. Discovery is the first of the Discovery-class vessels, designed with the specific intent of furthering exploration in the Delta Quadrant. Discovery is the fastest, most powerful starship that Starfleet has ever built, despite its relatively small size. If you would like the honor of serving aboard the Federation's flagship in the Delta Quadrant, then we are only a click away. Apply now!
* OUTPOST HOPE ONE
The Hope One Dyson Sphere is as big as a solar system; enclosing a white dwarf star with an interior surface the equivalent of millions of worlds. On it's surface, the Johvan and Kharians live in an uneasy peace as a liberated people and their former overseers. It is the long-sought home of the wandering Gatrubbian people.
Sentinel Station stands watch. It is a bustling hub of exploration and commerce; a place of opportunity.
The Axel is a privtely operated cargo transport ship that splits it's time between supporting the Federation in the sector and it's own missions.
==============
BORG COLLECTIVE
We are the Borg. Resistance is futile and life as you know it is over... Do we need to say more?
* PROBE 815
We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile...
So why resist?
Probe 815 is possibly the only Borg sim in existence. It gives players the opportunity to play within the Borg Hive Mind as active drones. You will play both as a drone within the probe, completing commands using subroutines, and as a contributing part of the Collective's decision-making and iteration process. If you have ever wanted to experience the existence of an assimilated Borg drone, this is the place for you.
So, leave your individuality at the door and join our collective.
