    Hey, I am new to this whole Star Trek business. I am primarily a Star Wars fan but recently have been studying up Star Trek a bit.

    I understand that they have their differences but in the end they're both really great franchises that deserve as much praise as possible. I look forward to meeting you all.

    P.S. if anyone is interested, my Steam is http://steamcommunity.com/id/Derpyc

    Star Wars and Star Trek are both excellent in my book! Star Wars is a wonderful adventure story about fantasy knights in space with laser swords and fascinating mystic magic powers that had me loving it from the first moment. Star Trek is a more philosophical story exploring the nature and potential of humanity, which incidentally has cool lasers and space battles as well!

    If you're new to Trek, I'd recommend staring with The Next Generation. The first series or two are a bit tricky, but there are still some incredible episodes in there. It's also an easier watch than The Original Series, though that's not to say it should be missed.

    Anyway, I've completely missed saying the important thing - welcome! I hope you have a great time here!

    Welcome aboard!

    I've just come back to STO this past week after a year out with some of that year spent in SWTOR (on Ebon Hawk). Love both games for different reasons but I just couldn't stay away from STO.

    The UFP Fleet is one of the finest group of people I've found in close to 20 years of online gaming. If you have any questions, don't be shy (we're not..*grin*).

    We have just as many Star Wars here than we do Star Trek Fans and in many cases fans of both Wink Welcome to the UFP. Also if your interested in SWTOR, our Holodeck Division supports that game.

    I love both Star Trek and Star Wars as well. I tend to lead more towards Star Trek since it takes place in our own galaxy, but Star Wars is it's own awesomeness. There are plenty of ST and SW experts around here, so ask away with any questions.
