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.

Free Threads in ASR/STAR FLEET come in two types: a "full" free thread and a "limited" free thread.

The Limited Free Thread A "limited free thread is defined as a unit with a limited number of players, limited scope, and/or limited duration and receives no support from BuPERS nor retains any Round Table representation.

An example of such a unit in ASR/STAR FLEET would be TASK FORCE SIERRA or the USS PEGASUS: both maintain a shifting roster of players, and have a fixed mission scope that is outside of typical ASR threads.

The Full Free Thread A "full free thread" is defined as a unit that, in terms of player numbers, duration and scope follows standard ASR protocols and retains both BuPERS support and RT representation rights yet operates on specific threads outside of typical ASR story arcs.

While there are no current full free threads in ASR/STAR FLEET, there have been many examples of them in the past, notably the USS ODYSSEY, the 21st Marine Tactical Fighter Wing and the Star Fleet Diplomatic Task Force: those units followed very different storylines from the rest of ASR's units but followed ASR protocols with regards to player numbers, etc.
