Why good morning and happy #TrekTuesday! We haven’t done a post for a couple of weeks, busy with #STLV and recovering but let’s fix that and annoy a few people with a look at the Parliament Class USS Ibn Sina. Images by
Good Morning!
We are so incredibly grateful with how well the book has been received, and seeing the love has been amazing! We would love to hear your favourite parts, what surprised you? What made you cry? Let us know and tag #Wolf359book so we can share them! #StarTrek
To be clear to everyone, our project is Fan Fiction and is 100% non-commercial, we don't think this is a targeted strike, probably just an overzealous legal team. we are working to get it sorted asap but please be respectful, we're playing with paramounts toys after all

Just a quick heads up, I’m afraid the book is currently offline as the result of a DMVA by the Borg (aka Paramount) will look into appealing but until we can get it hosted somewhere else the link won’t work, will post an updated link as soon as we can

Happy #TrekTuesday, here at Wolf359Towers we're getting ready to head over to STLV to catch up with our friends and share some goodies from the book such as this fantastic pamphlet. a collaboration between myself and #StarTrek #Wolf359
Hello and welcome to another #TrekTuesday how about today we talk a little about some of the ships lost at Wolf359? lets start with the Admiral Hanson's Flagship USS Columbia NCC 71102 #StarTrek #Wolf359 Render by 🧵
Thank you all for the warm welcome! Really excited to share more of this project. planning to drop a first peak later today, but until then enjoy this little teaser image.
Please share this page with others who might like it and feel free to ask any questions you have. #StarTrek
Shall we do another #ShipsofWolf359 post? Maybe a little less controversial than Columbia was for some of you 😉 this time, maybe not but lets take a look at the USS Endurance, NCC-5265 #StarTrek #Wolf359 with thanks to 🧵
Had to share this amazing LCARS Info-graphic about the Columbia, Admiral Hansons Flagship, made by the amazing . Panels like these are located throughout the Ossuary at Wolf 359. We might have more for some of the other ships we feature in our #ShipsofWolf359 series
Too often, History forgets about the stories of the enlisted crewman below decks. Liam Shaw is a survivor of Wolf 359 who took his tragedy and dedicated himself to becoming a leader who never forget where he came from. #StartrekPicardSeason3

My thanks to the amazing who created these graphics for the Kaneda from yesterdays threads, you should all be sure to give him a follow and commission an image from him, he has a crippling starship addiction that needs to be supported ;)

In the aftermath of Wolf 359 and the return of the USS Voyager there were a number of huge advances in Warp technology which were later rolled out into Starfleet, we have interviews with personnel involved in this advancement
Quote
It only occurred to me now that the Enterprise-D, when seen at warp in #StarTrekPicard's "The Last Generation"
is seen with the regular #StarTrekTNG warp streaks and not with the newer ones seen when the Titan goes to warp 
. Must be different warp technology! :-)

OK folks, here we go! The first official preview of #Wolf359Project the Book was written 30 years after the events of Best of Both Worlds and pulls heavily from the 'Holland Commission' Report into the events of 2366. #StarTrek #Wolf359 #Borg
Ok folks, our fantastic is looking for some inspiration of things to paint, he did an amazing job with the art in the book but we choose to only feature a few images. If you have read through the book is there a scene or character you wish we could have shown?

I’m not convinced these are tugs, the location is suboptimal and clearly the ship is not yet ready to be moved, I think they are detanking something from the shop
Quote
RE: Artwork for Roddenberry Archive.
— recovering NCC-1701 D saucer is a great idea but those tugs need to be a little more Starfleet looking & ropes need to be tractor beams. I do not like this backward trend of tech seen in #StarTrek recently. 
Good Morning! Looking forward to seeing many more of you at #STLV at the stand today. We have a raffle where you can win one of the first editions of the book and some other goodies. Sorry we cant offer this online but dont forget there is a interest list

Hello there! Well its been quite a week since we released the book, and your response has been absolutely spectacular! we're all so grateful!
So a treat for #TrekTuesday we have a little proof of concept for a potential audio version of the book youtu.be/Z6oL1O_u2P0 #StarTrek

We Didn't get a chance to come and say hello at the Con but we really wanted to show you our book and share the image of the 'Hemmer Class' SCE ship that is mentioned in the book - it was designed by as a Sabre class variant. Thank you for all you have brought to Trek
Good news everyone! the shuttle made it to Earth and I wasn't adducted by Romulans at all (afaik) I am however running on 4 hours sleep int he last 48 so No #TrekTuesday post, but we would be remiss without giving you your excerpt for the week... #StarTrek #Wolf359 #Pulaski

No one has really touched on the subject of the reaction of the families of those lost at Wolf 359. For me personally, Starfleet didn't seem to want to answer our questions and there wasn't even a Board of Enquiry to find out how Starfleet could fail so spectacularly.
We’ve more than doubled the amount of followers since we dropped this preview last month. This is the kind of writing you can expect when we publish. Here is Liam Shaw in his own words. Interview taken by

It is said that the single wisest individual in all of Starfleet Academy is a humble groundskeeper simply called “Boothby.” a legend among cadets, and he has been a fixture at the academy since the turn of the 24th century. #StarTrek #Wolf359 #StarTrekTNG

I'm sure we have all at some point dreamed of attending #StarfleetAcademy. Imagine the great leaders who have passed through and what they have learned. Wolf 359 was a Tragedy, hope hopefully the lessons learned can be passed onto the next generation. #StarTrek #Wolf359 1/2

As is often the case the crew of Columbia was made up former crew members from other Galaxy Class ships. The Captain assigned to the ship was Arcturan Zirvuk, and Commander Quinteros assigned as Chief Engineer, and the crew were completing final preparations when the Borg arrived

Im really looking forward to you all enjoying the book, I will have a website set up soon where you can download the individual chapters and other stuff, but I'm excited to read your reactions and I hope you enjoy. LLAP -
So who would like another excerpt from #Wolf359Project? We spoke earlier about when did Starfleet first learn about the Borg. We know that the El-Aurians were rescued by 1701-B in 2293, including Guinan. What did she have to say? #StarTrek #Borg #Wolf359

Lastly I want to thank my wife Amber (who's not on twitter) but who's support when i said i was thinking of embarking on this project was unwavering, and who continued to push me to finish even when I made her cry on the tube when she was reading the early drafts
Its #CaptainPicardDay and while we would love to share an interview with Jean-Luc he has understandably been reticent to speak with the commission. However while we continue to try and arrange an Interview we were able to Interview his sister-in-law Marie #StarTrek #PicardDay
The restoration of the Saratoga has been plagued with controversy since it was announced in 2377.
With the 10th anniversary of Wolf 359 approaching there was discussion on what sort of a memorial should be enacted to remember that fateful day #StarTrek #StartrekPicard #Yesand 🧵

If you hear a loud sound that is a ceremonial CANON going off in honor of the USS Enterprise NX-01 Refit, next we have the USS Saratoga (not the caption), The USS Lexington, and one of the highlights of the tour. The USS Voyager in all of it's glory. #StarTrekPicard
Guess who’s on a shuttle for the next 14 hours? That’s right this guy! So it’s also #TrekTuesday so #AMA anything you want to know about the book, Wolf359, Characters, will endeavour to answer all during the flight unless the Romulans abduct me (again) #startrek #wolf359

A bit thank you to for helping to organise and record this, and to for the art work.
We are going to investigate a full cast audio recording once we are back from STLV and we can work out the logistics and get a sense of costs etc
Replying to
to for the fantastic cover, for the wonderful starship renders and of course to who's illustrations and graphics bring the book to life (its worth flicking through the book just for the art folks!)
So as you probably guessed from our earlier #TrekTuesday post this week's preview is an excerpt from our Interview with Commander Shelby, we really enjoyed seeing back in the role and hope we will see more from #Shelby going forward #StarTrek #Wolf359 #Borg
Now the book is released, don't forget we also have a playlist for you to listen along, the tracks are roughly in story order and related to specific segments of the Book (I'm sure you can figure out when the Battle begins) - Enjoy!
Today is the 33rd anniversary of the first airing of Best of Both Worlds so to mark this auspicious occasion lets do an #AMA so anything about Wolf 359 or the Book fire away! #StarTrek #Wolf359 #BestofBothWorlds #BOBW

A core component of the book are the primary sources. Interviews conducted with those who were there and directly affected by the Borg, and this goes back to before Wolf 359. This interview was conducted with Lieutenant Sonya Gomez who was on the Enterprise at J-25 #StarTrek
