Echoes of the Final Frontier

Take us to the far edge of known space. In “Echoes of the Final Frontier,” participants will write a short story (max 1,500 words) exploring a mission beyond the Federation’s current borders. The tale should highlight the spirit of exploration, the challenges of first contact, or the personal experiences of Starfleet officers as they venture into the unknown.

Submissions should be written in-character and in-universe (Prime Timeline, circa 2390–2401). Whether hopeful or haunting, we want to hear the voices echoing out from the frontier.
