Our community began its existence in June of 1994 as a 'Live' Star Trek SIMulation, held in AOL chatrooms. Within the next six months, the crew of the two ships, the {{USS|Phoenix|B}} and the {{USS|Alliance}}, decided to move over to a '[[Play-by-Email]] SIMming' (PBEM) format. In this field, and with a new web presence, the group began to grow, slowly at first, and then more rapidly later. Today, [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] is one of the longest established Star Trek RPG groups on the internet. | Our community began its existence in June of 1994 as a 'Live' Star Trek SIMulation, held in AOL chatrooms.

Today, [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] is one of the longest established Star Trek RPG groups on the internet. Early in our community's history, there was a Star Wars Branch that closed in October of 1996, and two spinoff Fantasy sims (Xanthia and Faerin) that started around November of 1997, with simming starting in July of 1998 before it was spun off to it's own sister site (Faerin) in 1999. (The sister site appears to have gone defunct in 2003-2005.) | ||
