Group Profiles
Vacuuming
the cat is what writers call any work done to avoid writing, including
so called "world building" and background work. Reason? You don't get
paid for it. Well, I don't get paid for anything, so when my story muse
is on leave I create where I can, and that often means background work,
or even speculative stuff I post on Trek Creative.
Groups and characters that have not even made an appearance in my
stories, and may never. Something to aid my fellow writers in jump
starting their own ideas.
Stuff
will appear in several categories. That which matters to the Epiphany
Trek universe in some fashion will be noted as such.
Star
Unions
-- This is a list of the large political units, Federations,
Confederations, and Empires. These are the top end of the political
food chain. The First and Second Class Stellar Powers that have more
than one race within them. Subgroups of the larger one will be included
under that particular Star Union.
The Federation --
Our Heroes. The main location in Star Trek, it's where we keep our
stuff. Starfleet's hearth and home.
Federation
Center for Disease Control:
One of many departments.
Federation Bureau of Measures &
Standards: Another of many departments.
Federation
Councilors:
Because Jay asked me to.

description and rundown on the culture at large. BTW, I am still
looking for an artist who can draw the Ane for me, I pay well.

planned to use. None the less all are presented.

running. If you wish to use one of our creations in a story please ask.
