Star Trek: Darkness Within is a Star Trek-themed MUSH set in the
mirror universe during the period between the Enterprise television
show and the original series of Star Trek.  Since the majority of the
details during this period (and in this timeline) are unknown, we
follow canon as much as possible and have a unique history to fill
in the many gaps.

The year is 2199, and the Terran Empire rules the majority of space
with an iron fist.  Having conquered most of the major powers, the
Terran Empire's reach extends throughout the galaxy.  Laying siege
to those who stand in their way, the Terran Empire is feared
throughout the alpha and beta quadrants.  Within the last ten years,
however, a growing force of resistance has become a thorn in the
massive paw of the Terran Empire.  Battles between the Imperial
Starfleet and the resistance dot the blackness of space with brief
flashes of explosions and death.  Independent factions hope not to
get involved, and resistance members try their hardest to rally
support for the cause.

With reports that the Empire has finally been able to reconstruct a
Constitution class warship from the plans of the futuristic USS
Defiant (NCC-1764), the resistance may have a tough time standing up
to the firepower of this new threat.  Will you fight for the glory
of the Terran Empire as an officer in the Imperial Starfleet?  Will
you side with the rebellion and lead covert missions into enemy
space to secure the freedom of your race?  Or will you be a wealthy
merchant dealing in trade goods and secrets?  Without the light,
there can be no shadow - only the darkness within.
