It is the year 2391.  In 2390 the Federation President was assassinated during the christening ceremony of the new Federation flagship, the USS Redemption.  On their mission to find the assassins, the Redemption’s crew unearthed a conspiracy so deep that it rocked the United Federation of Planets to its core.  Now the Federation sits on a knife-edge, teetering on the brink of a civil war between radical elements such as the “Confederacy of the Underdark” who desire independence for the planet Andor, and the rogue “Sixth Fleet” who disagree with Starfleet’s handling of the oncoming crisis.  The situation isn't helped when a Bajoran group calling themselves the "Kaal Taan" destroy the Federation Council cambers on Earth during a council session. Can the crew of the USS Redemption, and the new Federation President, Elesa Zal, bring together an increasingly fractured and unsettled Alpha Quadrant?

Elsewhere, in the Beta Quadrant the Romulan Empire is in tatters after the invasion and destruction of their home world by a new race of beings known only as the “Ee”. Romulan Praetor Sahrin must turn to the Federation for help in resettling the hundreds of thousands of survivors, and rebuilding of his once proud Empire.

"Star Trek Redemption" is a play my email (PBeM) role playing game (RPG) that utilises unique characters to expand upon the known "Star Trek" Universe in the late 24th Century.

A much-required update to the website has been completed. You will now find biographies for all the player-characters in the crew manifest section. More biogrpahies for the non-player characters will follow in time. The links for 'history', 'the ship' and 'credits' are now functional. The link for 'database' now works, but extensive work is required before the old database can be transferred to the new website. As always you can access the old website via www.startrekredemption.com/2.0/ to view character profiles, the database and episode summaries.

Episode transcripts have now been uploaded for episodes three and four for public viewing. Work on the transcripts for episodes one and two is prgressing slowly, and they will be updated in due course.

Episode 5: "After the Fall"

The year is now 2391, 12 months following the presumed destruction of the Redemption and the death of Captain Azura Ashcart.

Major Cassandra Blackburn is haunted by the torture she suffered at the hands of Sixth Fleet operative Joseph Fursman, and is forced into sobreity and service onboard the Onyx Shadow. Lieutenant Commander Rhyan is on the run from both Starfleet and the Sixth Fleet as he tried to track and destroy the Ee hybrid that was once his lover, Ensign Sarah Kaminski. Ambassador Daniel Sutherland is taskd by President Elesa Zal to ensure that the Onyx Shadow recovers the Redemption, when commanding officer Colonel Morigan Moore has explicit orders from Starfleet to destroy the vessel. On board the science vessel Nova, Doctor Lucy Inverness, Ensign Jon Marshall and Cadet jody Scott are reunited in a Starfleet Intelligence mission to deliver a mysterious cargo to the front lines.

As the news of the Redemption's continued existence breaks, a dangerous race begins that will reunite the crew of the USS Redemption at Deep Space Ten and thrust them into a battle that will see control of their former home won or lost to the Sixth Fleet.
