"Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard."

— Haruki Murakami

Star Trek: Venture Station is a sim revolving around the adventures of a Starfleet base of the same name in the early 23rd century. A remote outpost on the edge of known space, Venture Station is home base for the Fourth Fleet, a safe port for civilian freighters, and the bane of the Orion Syndicate. Along with the USS Kingfisher, Venture Station stands as the Federation's only permanent facility near the Galactic Barrier.

Venture Station is a heady mix of genres, with something for everyone. Alongside the gritty crime drama of a far away outpost facing piracy and corruption, you'll find a setting filled with suspense and political intrigue between rival powers vying for control, as well as Fringe-like encounters with the unknown and unexplained in a "Bermuda triangle in space" where reality itself is the final frontier...

Completed Adventures

Season 1

• Episode 1.0: Alone in the Dark - As construction nears completion, Starfleet formally assumes command of Venture Station. But taking control proves difficult. In a power vacuum far from Federation space, the station has become a breeding ground for gangsters, smugglers, and pirates. Newly promoted Captain Jasmine Baker vows to restore order by any means necessary. An all-out gang war erupts, plunging the station into chaos. After committing a series of atrocities in the ensuing crackdown, Captain Baker is ultimately relieved of command.

Season 2

• Episode 2.0: Touching the Void - In the shadow of the gang war, JAG officer Chris Decatur assumes temporary command of the station as he begins a formal court martial against Baker. Meanwhile anti-piracy operations have bore unexpected fruit: the discovery of a strange shipwreck in the Phlegethon Rift, revealed to be none other than the SS Enterprise. Galactic Barrier expert Andreas Vasco is called in, and the USS Kingfisher is sent to investigate. They soon learn that there's a secret lurking in the belly of the ship that could reveal the past for one man, and change the course of the future for trillions more...
