In character, it’s now 2398, which means that a new century is almost upon our characters. The canon Star Trek universe has been busy as well, with the first seasons of two new series (Picard and Lower Decks) and the third of Discovery now behind us. We’re living in the midst of a Star Trek renaissance, with more to come, and it’s one of the most exciting times to be a simmer with Starbase 118. | In character, it’s now 2398, which means that a new century is almost upon our characters.

This is our 26th continuous year of operation. That’s an incredibly impressive achievement -- when the first Starbase 118 sims happened, Star Trek: Voyager had not yet begun to air. Now, twenty years after Voyager’s crew returned to the Alpha Quadrant in the Star Trek universe, our characters continue to boldly go where no one has gone before. | This is our 26th continuous year of operation.

2020 was a year of growth and transformation for the Starbase 118 fleet, as ships, crews, and commanders both new and experienced launched for new adventures. Our group awards in the summer were the biggest yet, and we gave out the first 25-year member award to our group’s founder, Fleet Admiral Wolf. Speaking of the summer months, the Starbase 118 fleet recorded its greatest sim rates this year, which you can read more about below. The motivation and dedication of the whole fleet is certainly a force to be reckoned with. | 2020 was a year of growth and transformation for the Starbase 118 fleet, as ships, crews, and commanders both new and experienced launched for new adventures.
