Yes, “Star Trek Minutiae” has finally returned from the dead!
First, I must apologize for my long absence. Real life and online obligations kept me from devoting much time at all to this site over the last two months, and I never really had a chance to spend some time updating the site. After a while, I began planning one big return event... but that event somehow kept being postponed. Anyway, I’m not here to make excuses. I’m here to make up for my absence!
You may recall that I am a member of the Star Trek: Renaissance fan fiction project. Star Trek: Renaissance is a fanfic project depicting events in the Alpha Quadrant after the Dominion War with an original ship and crew. The series is a mixture of political intrigue, exploration and character-driven drama with a definite story arc running in the background. Like its canon cousins, the series is written in standard script format and divided into seasons, each lasting for 26 episodes. Beginning from the two-hour pilot episode “Aftermath,” we hope to bring you a new episode each week.
For the past eight months, we have labored in secret, working to develop a high-quality series concept that we could all be proud of, and to write the first episodes of that series. On September 8, 2001, Renaissance burst into the open with its impressive premiere episode, “Aftermath”. A week later, we released our second episode, “Confidence in Princes”. Our third episode, “Beggars and Choosers,” is scheduled to be released this coming Saturday. Episodes will be released each week after that on Saturday morning.
I hope you all enjoy this (IMNSHO) high-quality series about the future of the Federation and the entire Alpha Quadrant.
There’s a new article for the Romulan War project: a brief history of the Archer-class and Curran-class system patrol cruisers, by Masao Okazaki.

Please support Tim’s petition, asking the writers of Star Trek X to continue their plans for a small role for Captain Janeway in that film. (In recent weeks, a group of Anti-Voyagers have started a petition asking the writers to stop their plans for the cameo for Kate Mulgrew. —Who’d think that anyone would hate Janeway that much? ... So Tim started a pro-Voyager petition of his own!)
July 13, 2001
“The Gigantic Collection of Star Trek Minutiae” celebrates one year on the web! For this special occasion, I’ve designed a new front page interface that is hopefully more streamlined and quicker to download. Expect some other new features in the days to come!

If anyone else actually cares, take a look and enjoy!

An enormous update tonight! Mainly it has to do with some important restructuring and related editing. Details below:
I have officially abandoned the Star Trek: Restoration project. I haven't done anything with it in more than six months, and with the official launch of the Star Trek: Renaissance project coming up in the next few weeks (we hope), there's no need for two fan fic series here. The old notes for Restoration can still be accessed through the Miscellaneous section, or via this link.
I’m also working on adding a mirror site for the Advanced Starship Design Bureau. Thanks to Bernd for providing the files and support!
I’ve updated the Starfleet Reference Databank page again to describe my current efforts to make my ultimate database system available to the public.
