Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home. (0 comments | Add) Come join a Star Trek PBeM adventure of a lifetime.

Speaking in a new interview with the UK's STAR TREK MONTHLY magazine, executive producer Rick Berman says he and partner Brannon Braga broke with STAR TREK tradition this time around and worked up the stories for the cliffhanger resolution and two more episodes before taking summer hiatus.

"We've already broken the story for part II, which is quite rare for us. We usually wait until after the summer, come back and figure out how the hell we're going to end the cliffhanger. But immediately after the show wrapped Brannon and I kind of locked ourselves into a room for a week and came up with ideas for basically the first three episodes of the coming season. So I think we're a little bit ahead of the game."

Berman also talks about the sometimes controversial protrayal of the Vulcans in ENTERPRISE.

"The Vulcan canon that exists is primarily in the 23rd and 24th centuries. I don't think we changed the Vulcans very much in going back to the 22nd century. There are certain things that did change or were affected in some way, by going back in time another hundred years. We're suggesting that the nerve pinch is something not known by most Vulcans. There's a certain degree of animosity between the Humans and Vulcans, which we establish in the pilot. But I think T'pol [Jolene Blailock] would be recognized as a Vulcan by any of the Vulcans you've seen on the shows set in the 23rd and 24th centuries. She fits the Vulcan model, as do the various members of the Vulcan High Council that we've seen so far and will continue to see. I think we've gone out of our way to be true to what we know about Spock [Leonard Nimoy] and the other Vulcans we've seen in Star Trek."

Talking about the forthcoming NEMESIS and the Romulans, Berman says "[Remus is] like the way people used to think Mercury is, although it turned out it's not. But the idea is that one side always faces the sun, so people have to live on the dark side of the planet. And they're a rather horrifying looking group of people. We're going to learn how Remus is a sister planet to Romulus, but definitely not an equal sister."
