[edit] Description

HoloTrek is a completely free Star Trek themed textual role-playing game based on a timeline that branches from the events of TNG/DS9 around the first season of DS9. The game attempts to remain true to the Star Trek universe and canon is highly regarded.

Players may choose to join the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Rihannsu (Romulan) Empire, or Hellesport, an independent commerce station.

The game is primarily role-playing, but is supported by coded starships, combat, skills, and an economic systems.

A full commodities market economy is available for those that wish to strike out on their own as freelance traders, merchants, pirates, mercenaries, and spies.

HoloTrek welcomes both experienced and new roleplayers to the game. And has players around the world allowing for roleplaying in any time zone. Good roleplaying is rewarded; players who develop good roleplaying skills will find their characters growing in power and influence.

The specific coded commands of the game do take some getting used to but the administrators (known as the "Q Continuum"), game directors and the community are are very helpful and extremely friendly to new players.

[edit] History

The game began in 1998, growing out of its predecessor HoloMOO, which was created in 1995 and is currently coded using ColdC.
