Between 2011 and 2017 I authored and published several missions in the Foundry for Star Trek Online, a tool for user-generated content. The stories I had written for these missions were meant to complement the official STO storyline developed by Cryptic Studios, and also to form their own coherent continuity among themselves.
In 2019, the Foundry and all user-generated missions were removed from STO. In response, I began this project, not just to adapt the stories I had written as Foundry missions into more conventional fan fiction, but to reimagine them, add more connective tissue, character- and world-building content; and eventually, to build upon my existing work even further with new stories based on STO and the larger Star Trek universe.
I'm calling this relaunch project "STO Peacemakers" as a nod to the Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which serves as a model for this project. Like the Avengers, these reimagined stories will revolve around a select group of characters - specifically, my player-characters in STO, along with a few recurring NPCs from my Foundry missions.
