'''The Romulan-New Republic War''' - The Romulan Star Empire launched a surprise attack on the Mon Calamari Shipyards at Dac, using their advanced cloaking technology to penetrate New Republic Space. The Romulan attack crippled one of the New Republics most vital shipyards and destroyed a lot of new construction underway. The New Republic did strike back using Fighter Raids, sending squadrons of X-wings, A-wings, B-wings and Y-wings to strike at virtually every planet of the Romulan Star Empire, though the attacks did little serious damage in effect, the attacks resulted in the Romulan Star Empire pulling ships from its campaign back to Romulan Space to increase defense. A few minor conflict occurred but nothing on the scale of the Romulan Attack on Dac. A Ceasefire and eventual peace treaty was signed shortly after.<br />

'''FORUM CLOSURE ''' - The ending of the forum resulted in a end this incarnation of the game just as the Dominion began an invasion through the Bajoran Wormhole and the Borg has appeared near Systems Commonwealth space. The Cylons were making moves towards Narn Space, though it appeared the twelve colonies of man (the colonials) were going to side with the Narn. There was also rumors the The Emperor Palpatine had met with a Mr. Morden who represented an unknown prospect at this time, it was also rumored that the Galactic Empire had begun construction on a Deathstar. The Game was also to feature a Magog invasion, Planet Killer (startrek) and an appearance from both the Vorlons and Shadows. Like other major events would have occurred to if the game had continued.<br />

Three follow up projects have been attempted at request of players from the Original Trident Game - Trident II was attempted on the Alturasforum and The-Frontier Forum, but new players were more interested in breaking into arguments over the superiority of which show/genre vs playing the actually playing the game. Though the game started, it did not progress beyond the second round because of infighting and was abandoned.<br />
