The Last Outpost (commonly abbreviated as TLO) is a non-competitive Star Trek gaming and roleplaying community founded in 2010. Designed as a drama-free and welcoming environment, the group distinguishes itself from traditional gaming clans by maintaining an egalitarian structure where ranks reflect time served and community contributions rather than arbitrary power. While its historical roots lie deep in the Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force roleplaying scene, the community has expanded into a multi-game hub.

Games & Activities

The community spreads its events across three primary gaming divisions:

  • RPG-X (Elite Force): The cornerstone of the community's history. Utilizing RPG-X CE (Community Edition)—a free, standalone roleplaying platform that evolved from Ubergames' classic Elite Force total conversion mod—members engage in live, real-time roleplaying. The community hosts "Serial Role Plays" (SRPs) that run weekly and follow a continuing episodic storyline, much like a television show. They also host Happy Hours, which are casual events designed to let new players practice running plots while veterans take a backseat.
  • Star Trek Online (STO): TLO operates a casual, zero-pressure fleet in Cryptic Studios' MMORPG. Rather than pushing for hardcore competitive dominance, the fleet focuses on mutual support, ship building, and in-game progression. They host Fleet Contribution Events, PvE/PvP nights, and Special Task Force (STF) runs, frequently rewarding event winners with Perfect World Entertainment (PWE) cards, forum recognition and in-game items.
  • Minecraft: The community hosts a dedicated, modded survival server where players can explore, build massive structures (including full-scale starships) and participate in cooperative builds, roleplays, and competitive mini-games.

Current Status

For over a decade, joining the community was as simple as registering on the official web forums and submitting a quick application. However, as web habits have shifted in recent years, the community infrastructure has modernized.

  • Forum Archival: As of late 2026, the traditional web forums at last-outpost.net have been officially archived and locked to new member registrations, though they remain readable as a historical record of over 70,000 posts and 15 years of roleplaying history.
  • The Transition: The Last Outpost has successfully transitioned its active player base. All new recruitment, event planning and general discussions are now hosted exclusively on their official Discord server.
