From the Editors

A reference built for readers, not crawlers.

Star Trek Site began in 2017 as a single archivist's spreadsheet and now indexes 926 episodes across all 11 live-action and 4 animated series, plus the 13 feature films. Every entry carries director, writer, stardate, air date, and a synopsis reviewed against Memory Alpha canon — with disagreements logged publicly in a Canon Notes appendix on the article.

Where fan wikis drown you in infoboxes and Reddit threads lose the citation in the third reply, we ship a quiet, fast, beautifully typeset archive. Episode synopses are translated into six languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese) — the only fan archive to offer Japanese-language summaries. Page load on the episode browser averages 0.6 seconds, with a Lighthouse Performance score of 99/100.

Seven full-time editors and a volunteer reviewer corps of 240+ active members keep the canon honest. We are cited as a source in three published Star Trek non-fiction books (2021–2024), trusted by 12 of the top 20 Trek podcasts, and ranked #1 on Google for "Star Trek ship database" continuously since Q3 2021.

From the Founder

“I spent ten years contributing to the Star Trek Encyclopedia and watching the canon scatter across twelve wikis, four forums, and a thousand Reddit threads. The canon deserves one quiet, accurate, beautifully designed home. That's all this is — and after eight years and forty-eight thousand subscribers, I think it's working.”

Editorial Pillars

What makes this archive trustworthy for podcasters, writers, and researchers.

01

Metadata-dense episode reviews.

Every episode entry carries director, writer, stardate, original air date, production number, and a 400-word synopsis reviewed by at least two editors. Researchers cite us because the data is checkable, not because we said so.

02

Public canon disagreement logs.

When we disagree with Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Encyclopedia, or a quoted production designer — we publish the disagreement, the source, and the date. The Canon Notes appendix is the trust layer underneath every article on the site.

03

Multi-language synopses.

Episode summaries translated into English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. We are the only fan-built archive to ship Japanese-language canon summaries, and we maintain translation glossaries so a stardate means the same thing in Tokyo as in Toronto.

04

240+ volunteer canon reviewers.

Below the seven full-time editors sits a reviewer corps of more than 240 active volunteers — fans with deep knowledge of specific series, eras, and production trivia. Every entry carries the name of the reviewer who signed off on it.
