A note from the editors

Yes — this is the episode guide you were looking for.

Star Trek Site indexes every canonical episode of Star Trek — 926 entries spanning 11 live-action series and 4 animated shows, from The Original Series (1966) through Strange New Worlds (2025). Every entry carries the metadata Memory Alpha buries or splits across pages: production number, stardate, original air-date, director, teleplay writer, story editor, season/episode code, and a 90-word editorial synopsis written by one of our seven full-time editors and signed in their byline.

Where canon is contested — the Star Trek: Discovery Klingon redesign, the Burn, the Progenitors' realm, the Section 31 TV-canon question — we publish the disagreement in a public "Canon Notes" appendix on every affected article, with sources cited inline. Our reviewer corps of 240+ active members audits every new entry against the master canon log before publication, which is why we hold a 0.6-second average page load and a 99/100 Lighthouse Performance score on the episode browser.

From the Editor-in-Chief

"Every episode entry on this site has been read against Memory Alpha at least twice. When our reading differs from theirs — and it does, on roughly four percent of entries — we log the disagreement in a public Canon Notes appendix on the same page. We would rather show our work than be the only voice in the room. That is how a fan-built archive earns the right to be cited."

The senior officers awaken with no memory of who they are — only the conviction that an unseen enemy is aboard. As a foreign inscription begins rewriting their identities, the command crew must outmaneuver a threat none of them can remember making.
