{What is a free thread? | |||
A "free thread" is a generic term used to describe ANY unit within the framework of ASR/STAR FLEET that does not fit into the conventional starship or starbase role-play environment. Such units might be marine fighter units or intelligence operations units, or conventional units following specific storylines that are divergent with the rest of the fleet. | A "free thread" is a generic term used to describe ANY unit within the framework of ASR/STAR FLEET that does not fit into the conventional starship or starbase role-play environment.
