In the nation of Star Traks, the main series are the cities, but here you will find the smaller towns, the pleasant little burgs, and the downright unusual scenic drives through the countryside that...

"Is this really the analogy you're going with?"

I'm trying to introduce a bunch of limited-series, guest-written stories, specials, one-offs, and cast-offs. How would you do it?

"Pretty much with what you just said."

Oh...well...Welcome to Side Traks!

"You already said that."

Who Let the Dogs Out?

Posted on June 25, 2023 by Brendan Chris

New Star Traks: Howlers! #9 - Who Let the Dogs Out? Apologies for the title. But we really couldn’t help it, and as the final chapter in the Howlers saga, this was our last chance to use it. Speaking of last chances, having finally learned the truth about the Howlers Initiative, the USS Vilkas, and Ensign Greg Mayle, it’s the last chance for the Howlers to break free and somehow get justice for what’s been...

Story 7 - Holidays of Yesteryear

Posted on April 9, 2022 by Brendan Chris

New Star Traks: Howlers! #7 - Holidays of Yesteryear. Two Howlers stories in two weeks…not sure if that’s ever happened before! Counsellor Tomillo decides that maybe the Howlers have been under a little bit too much pressure, and a cancelled mission provides the perfectly opportunity for them to sit back, catch their breath…and maybe do some long-overdue reflection…

Another day, another mission, another bad-guy to brutally eviscerate, and another brutal attack by a cute but angry kitty-cat. But when Lt Commander Travs’ ‘happy’ little surprise turns out to be a ticking time-bomb, it’s a race to figure out just what to do with the darned thing. I (meaning Brendan) should... [Read More]

New Star Traks: Traks Unleashed! Every so often the Star Traks writers put our characters into scenes and situations from Star Trek or other shows and movies in a series we call “Thank the Great Bird They Weren’t There.” There’s been a whole lot of new Star Trek since the last time we did one of these, so it’s high time for our characters to get caught up in “Thank the Great Bird They Weren’t...

Announcing Star Traks: TOSsed!

A New Six Story Mini-Series by Alan Decker

Posted on December 18, 2021 by Alan Decker

While Kirk and Spock are off galavanting through the galaxy on their five year mission, other folks are out there just trying to make a living. Folks like Mike Harper and his small crew on the SS Clydesdale. It may be an old Tellarite freighter. It may not have any weapons or fancy Starfleet technology. It may not be very fast. But it can…well…it can get your cargo from here to there…most of the time.... [Read More]
