Star Trek :  A vision of the future... Gene Roddenberry's perfect world – a godless, socialist utopia, where races mix and liberals abound.

Hollywood's vision has a backside, which Star Trek never explores.

Arcadia does.

Arcadia is about exploration: Exploration's quintessential platform, beyond the "final frontier", where Star Trek doesn't go and anything can happen.  Arcadia takes an unusual approach to Star Trek, exploring the reality of Trek "reality" and redefining the mythos, by transposing the modern world as the galaxy, and attempting to describe our future realistically after centuries of change & innovation... coupled with an understanding of all-too-human mechanisms and humanity's dark side.

In the 4th century ce, 400 years from now, the once-mighty Federation struggles amidst chaos, conspiracy and corruption.  Starfleet has become an interstellar police force, and war is a daily occurrence.  Conflict threatens.  Tensions escalate.  Religion clashes with a godless society.  Economic recession, energy crises and environmental disasters loom.  In such shadowy times, people struggle through their daily lives as their civilization turns upside down.

Arcadia is a writer's refuge, in free-style format, for exploring new worlds in new ways, and finding niches of Star Trek fictional reality found nowhere else, not restricted to one character, ship or location.  This stage stars "a cast of thousands" in anthology-style vignettes and slices of life, spinning a saga across the broad canvas of time and space.  "The human adventure is just beginning," said Gene Roddenberry.  Arcadia jumps into that, exploring what it means to be us: Humans, in an uncertain world riddled with issues, facing situations where nothing is guaranteed.  Arcadia is character-driven.  The story is about people.  It's about us.
