Star Trek: Foundations is the first Star Trek-themed game based in
the era of the "Enterprise" TV show.  Star Trek: Foundations
(previously known as bDv) has been in production since 2001 and first
opened for players in 2002.  In the fall of 2004, it was announced
that the game was being redesigned from the ground up in terms of
code - a project which would streamline the game and ensure that all
aspects worked together.  ST:Foundations (bDv2) opened in March of
2005, and the playerbase was transferred over.  The game takes place
a few years after the show.  However, after 2154, we follow an
original timeline.

The year is 2163, and the galaxy is in turmoil. Many talks have been
initiated by various empires to discuss the need for an alliance of
major powers. The Terran Confederation is trying to prove itself to
larger, more-established empires like the proud Andorian Imperium or
the stoic Vulcan Federation. The warrior Klingon Empire shows little
mercy to those foolish enough to stand in the way of the Empire's
goals, and the secretive Romulans watch all from the safety of
cloaked vessels. Other, independent worlds are in the middle of it
all, some trying to make a profit while others side with larger
empires or conduct illegal business.

Will you play a part in forming an alliance of governments? Will you
command a raiding party of pirates? Will you lay siege to a weaker
empire, or will you foster the bonds of peace? All of these options
are available to you here.
