Star Trek: Renaissance, the Archival Edition

In February 2001, a small group of fans decided to embark upon a massive project: to develop, write, and publish the first collaborative, script-based Star Trek fan fiction project. Set at the dawn of the 25th century, Star Trek: Renaissance was a mixture of political intrigue, exploration, and character-driven drama, driven by a loose but defined story arc. It picked up where Deep Space Nine left off, and had the courage to try to answer some of that show's most important questions: could the Federation adequately defend its security without compromising its ideals? Or do the ends in fact justify the means?

Renaissance's publication run was rocky, at best, but I'm still very proud to have contributed to the project. Although we were amateurs, we managed to publish 71 episodes in full teleplay format and quality. We developed an original and unique cast of characters that carried the flame of Star Trek's spirit in their own controversial ways. Writing of the series petered to a halt in 2004, but the story lives on, regardless.

As of 2007, the website that hosted Renaissance has been corrupted, with no indication of if or when it will be restored. So I've decided to publish my own archive of the series for visitors to discover, or even rediscover. Follow the adventures, conflicts, triumphs and defeats of the crew of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-G.

Webmaster's Note: All episodes are published in PDF format, and require Adobe Reader or equivalent software to read the files.

Season One

Season Two

Season Three

Season Four

Webmaster's Note: The third season of Renaissance was prematurely ended due to a major shake-up in the writing staff. The original intent had been to end season three on a major cliffhanger that would lead into season four. However, with the abrupt "cancellation" of the third season, the remaining writers decided (for better or worse) to dive right into season four. Thus, "Flashpoint, Part II" is indeed the first episode of the fourth season. It had been intended that "Flashpoint, Part I" would be published as a kind of flashback story much later on. Sadly, Renaissance production ground to a halt shortly thereafter.
