Star Trek: Gibraltar is a fan fiction series, part of the United Trek shared universe of continuity, written by Sam Redfeather.
These stories are set aboard the Constitution class USS Gibraltar (NCC-1859), a starship mothballed in the 23rd century and resurrected during the waning days of the Dominion War to bolster Starfleet’s faltering numbers.
In the aftermath of that terrible conflict, the captain and crew of the Gibraltar struggle to keep the hard-won peace and maintain the increasingly fragile borders of the Federation.
They are not the best and the brightest ever assembled. Their ship is 90 years old, and outmatched by most modern craft. They are an average Starfleet crew striving to get the job done against tremendous odds during a dark chapter of Federation history.
All stories are hosted at the Ad Astra Star Trek Fanfiction Archive. You can visit the series home page at Ad Astra.
