Futility's End is an affiliate of Bravo Fleet, the storyline is set in 2406 following an apocalyptic war with the Borg.
- "The goal of Futility's End is to provide a mature writing environment that takes what is best about Trek, acknowledges the success of harsher, grittier television shows such as The Shield and Battlestar Galactica and combines the two to create a radical new spin on the canon whilst retaining the quality of the shows. We further aim to add to parts of Trek's galaxy that were never properly explored on screen".
In addition to providing a simming environment for our players, Futility's End allows for writing of fiction as part of Futility's End canon and to keep the Futility's End story moving.

Futility's End Chain of Command
Futility's End is moderated by an entity known as Futility's End Quad.
For the purposes of this bylaw:
The current Futility's End CO is Captain Kurt Darkly who can be reached via email at quad[at]futilitysend[dot]org.
The line of succession for Futlity's End is through the Futlity's End Quad, the FECO will nominate one (1) member of the Quad as the defacto FEXO (This person will be marked as the FEXO on this page) - this person will be next in line for sucession. If this person is unable, or unwilling to take over Futility's End then the Quad will make the decision on who will be the next Futility's End CO.
- If the Futility's End CO is unavailable, contact can be made with Futility's End by emailing quad[at]fehq[dot]net at least one member of the Quad will be available to respond to the Bravo Fleet Admiralty.
Futility's End Quad
The day to day runnings of Futility's End are moderated by the Futility's End Quad. This group is charged with ensuring Futility's End remains a fun and engaging place to role play.
- If you wish to contact the Quad you may do so by sending an email to quad[at]fehq[dot]net The current Futility's End quad can be found here
Futility's End is not subject to Bravo Fleet JAG, this means Futility's End maintains its own banned players list and Game Master probation list. Futility's End also deals with grievences internally. All matters that require such attention should be sent to the Futility's End Quad which can be contacted at quad[at]fehq[dot]net. Appeals against decisions made by the Quad can be made directly to the FECO.
Futility's End maintains it's own infobase for Futility's End canon information, which is overseen by the Futility's End Quad who also establish the Futility's End canon and ensure it it is kept intact throughout the affiliate.
Futility's End Quad reserves the right to approach a player / simulation game master and ask them to modify parameters of their biography/simm setting should these clash with Futility's End backstory or be otherwise inappropriate for the back story of Futility's End.
Futility's End Community
- Located at http://forum.fehq.net/
FEC is the central hub of activity for Futility's End. This is where members come if they have any questions regarding Futility's End, this is also where the fiction series and our forum based simms are hosted.
Futility's End InfoBase
The Futility's End InfoBase (http://infobase.fehq.net) is a repositry for Futility's End universe information, it should not be used by member simulations which exist outside of FE's universe.
Member Simulations
From time to time Futility's End may accept simulations to join us as member sims. These games exist outside of the Futility's End universe yet still possess the spark that makes a good FE simulation.
Member simulations may be added or removed at the discretion of the Futility's End Quad.
General Rules
- The Plot: Futility's End operates an affiliate wide plot, whatever happens on one sim happens on another. This means that all sims occur in the same universe. Players must not begin new plots that disturb, or destroy this FE wide plot without permssion from a member of the FE Quad or from the FECO.

Proper markings will show if the fiction written is considered as part of canon or not. See http://www.feinfobase.org/index.php?title=FECanon
- Ratings: Although Futility's End allows R rated simualtions, it does not allow overly sexual content on its sims. The R rating merely denotes plots that only Adults would be emotionally equipped to deal with, players found abusing these ratings will be dealt with by the Futility's End Quad.
