Generation 2498 is a non-profit organization which was launched in 1998 by a group of teenagers who were fans of Star Trek. Having wild imaginations, and wanting to create a universe which they could call their own but still incorporate all the things they liked about Star Trek and other science-fiction shows which they had enjoyed (Babylon 5, Star Wars, Space: Above and Beyond, Starship Troopers, and many others), these teenagers attempted to create a role-playing group that met on America Online's chat rooms weekly. With competition fierce, it took many tries and many names before in 1998, Generation 2498 launched successfully with its flagship sim the U.S.S. Pacifica-C. |

A rich background unlike any other role-playing group. |

Unlike any other role playing group, Generation 2498's roots can be directly drawn from a middle school newspaper project gone wrong. With the interests of those involved in the newspaper shifting, the newspaper adapted and became a Live role-playing group that met on an actual school grounds and involved non-text based role-playing. With several organizations that followed Star Voyagers Club, and Galactic Voyagers Club, the group launched an AOL venture named Star Voyagers Club-Online. The SVC didn't last long, and GVC-Online was created in its place. GVC-Online subsequently failed and Generation 2498 was launched with a unique universe set some 130 odd years after Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. |

The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds is a full "membership" power to the Intergalactic Alliance of Powers. As an membership power, and as the Vice-Speaker of the I.A.P., we are present at meetings, we discuss our views on proposed I.A.P. bills, and we vote on I.A.P. bills that may act as law within our nation. The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds is an integral part of Starbase Tranquility, a sim which focuses on the politics of the Generation 2498 Universe. We welcome those who think politically and like foreign policy to create new species and to have them participate in the I.A.P. Since Starbase Tranquility, several unique species have been created and realistically contributed to the universe that is now integral to Generation 2498. You too can join this sim that meets every Saturdays at midnight eastern time, you should contact StarTrekCC@aol.com for more information if you wish to join Starbase Tranquility. |
