    June, 2284, just after the destruction of Admiralty Hall, Starfleet Academy and HQ, San Francisco Y*AD is a series that attempts to look at events of the 'Ancient Destroyer' Universe from the point of view of the non-royalty of the STU. In this storyline, we look at the impact that Peter Kirk's bombing of Admiralty Hall had on Starfleet and The Academy. As one might guess, happily ever after is not quite yet in the cards, if in fact it ever will be.

Note : An original character created by James Winter is referred to herein. I have received permission from the author to make use of an AU version of this character, in limited doses. Other original characters crafted by other writers sometimes associated with J.Winter's character and his crew are in no way affected by this. This includes a certain female Captain who, by author's direct request, has no presence in the Ancient Destroyer Universe, although her absence affects its history. These characters and certain others who crop up remain the intellectual property of their authors, and at no time may they be used without direct prior permission from the author, on a one-to-one, case-by case basis. (Phew!)
