The STNET History Files, a special segment with never seen before images and stories of the STNET history. This will be a daily release until the 22nd of September. Follow these releases by our RSS feed or Facebook page. A daily visit to our website is also an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wednesday Edition:
We are going to take a break from the STNET website itself and going to focus on the content for this edition of the History Files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could say that STNET was the same as any other Star Trek fan site. STNET had only one difference called: Mini-sites. Mini websites are focused on one topic and located in the STNET site itself. STNET released 5 of these sites:
– September 2nd 2002: Voyager’s Goodbye
– January 19th 2004: Enterprise – A life time Story
– May 2nd 2004: Voyager’s Goodbye *The Return*
– June 14th 2005: Bio-neural Circuitry
– November 20th 2005: Enterprise – The Final Chapter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sites are STILL ONLINE, you can find them in our “About” section (Note: these Mini-sites are written in Dutch). But here we going to explain the story behind the 5 Mini-sites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Voyager’s Goodbye and Voyager’s Goodbye *The Return*
This Mini-site was originally released on the prequel website Look a Look.tk in 2002. With the change from Look a Look.tk to STNET, Voyager’s Goodbye was taken offline. 2 years later when STNET was running for more than one year, the STNET team decided to bring this mini site back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mini-site was renamed as “Voyager’s Goodbye *The Return*”. This was not simply the original version of Voyager’s Goodbye, but an updated to current (current as in 2004) standards version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Enterprise – A life time Story
A mini-site to celebrate Episode 1 of Enterprise (later renamed, Star Trek: Enterprise) in the Netherlands. This mini-site contained all the known information about the 5th new Star Trek series: Enterprise. The design of this website was based on the computer displays on the U.S.S. Enterprise NX-01.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Bio-neural Circuitry
Simply put, this was a school project for the webmaster about the U.S.S. Voyager’s Bio-neural Circuitry computer network. Originally this was only a PowerPoint presentation, but with a few tweaks this was changed into a mini-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Enterprise – The Final Chapter
This conclusion to the Star Trek Enterprise series and mini-sites in its current form. The mini-site was created with a tribute in mind for the Star Trek Enterprise cast. The early cancellation of the series was also a disappointment for the STNET team. The basic design concept was a “upgraded version” of the “A life time Story”-mini-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This min-site was the first (and last) mini-site completely created with Adobe’s Flash Player for internet browsers. The design was again based on the Enterprise computer system, only this time with 3 different moving display-screes. Also the content of the mini-site was upgraded to the lasted Enterprise Season 4) standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

——<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know the story’s behind our mini-sites. “Enterprise – The Final Chapter” was the final released mini-site by STNET. It was until STNET – Project V when the mini-site made its return in a slightly different concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of mini-sites, the new name “Special Pages” was introduced to the STNET – Project V portfolio. A dedicated and special designed page containing the released news articles related to the Special Page subject. Basically a mini-site with news articles instead of crew, ship and technology information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following Special Pages are released by STNET – Project V:
– March 15th 2009: Star Trek: XI
– July 16th 2009: Star Trek Online
– April 30th 2012: Star Trek: XII – Into Darkness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Special Pages are located in the News Archive section of STNET – Project V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
