Have you run one?
What was the alteration, the divergent event?
How did that change things?
What/who were PCs?
How did it go?

The crew of the USS Challenger, an Intrepid Class Cruiser, was involved in the second battle against the Borg in the Sol System (First Contact). Challenger followed the Enterprise-E into the Borg temporal vortex, but a hand-to-hand battle was raging in Engineering, and just as Data comments "9 billion, all Borg," a PC cut a plasma conduit to dissolve the Borg's biological components (as Picard did at the climax of the movie) and killed warp power. This dumped them into the Borg-iverse, where they spent two years developing a way to get back into their own universe. They were instrumental in organising an alliance between the Romulans, Klingons, Cardassians, Ferengi and Andorians to resist the Borg.

The Dominion won the war. (Just a small divergence there)
Garak's bomb in 'In the Pale Moonlight' fails to go off and the Romulans never enter the war. The Federation surrenders after the Dominion use the quickening virus on Andoria.
The PCs begin to form their own rebellion, at first using unorthodox methods (Minosian weapons, Pah-wraiths etc), then building alliances, gaining forces and taking back planets.
It is going pretty well. I'm now in the middle of the third season and pretty close to the end.
Take a look at my website for more info: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/thunder...minionmain.htm (although it is desperate need of updating).

Te3chnically, all our campaigns are alternate universes, aren't they?
Ours: Most of the TOS stuff happened, but some of the worse episodes are ignored. STV never happened. Kirk died in the bathtub; he slipped -- an ignomious, but I think someow appropriate end: he died alone. He just faded away, like all good soldiers.
Most of TNG happened, but some of the bad 1st/2nd season background stuff is ignored. Generations: no Kirk. First Contact: as seen. Insurrection: as seen. Nemesis: the coup was by the Romulan military -- no Remans. Picard was already an admiral; he's now Chief of Ops. Riker never got a ship; turned 'em down too often -- he's married to Troi and a military attache on Betazed. Data's alive and commanding USS James Kirk (Ambassador class).
DS9: the main events happened; I haven;t seen it so the minutae may be wrong. Voyager got wasted the first time Janeway 'lost' her ship to the rasta-aliens. Ignoring most of Enterprise.
that's fairly alternate, I guess...
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

No VOY, or Anti-prise.
Twelve years after DS9 final episode.
Admiral McCoy died. Gee, who would have guessed. But not of old age, but from a transporter accident involving a meeting between him and Scotty (who managed to live and now considers himself alone in the universe).
Scotty started his own little museum of Federation Technology. Nothing grand, it's mostly things he misses and has rebuilt.
Having not seen Nemesis yet, I cannot say one way or the other on that crew.
Jake Sisco lives in anonymity. It's hard to be the son of a living god after all.
Kira is military attache to the new Cardassian Republic.
Bashir finally figured out a cure involving radioactive nanites to keep Kai Ompaka alive. This has caused quite a twist in the collective panties of the Bajoran theocracy. There are now two kais.
Worf is a common face at Faraway One (the base that orbits the planet of the Sto-vo-gnan).
Martok and Kahless rule jointly. Martok presides over all matters military and political while Kahless presides over matters of honor and tradition. Together, they are bringing forth a second golden age of feudalism and prosperity that the Warriors of Klih (the real homeworld, none of this Q'onos crap) have begun to see every aspect of life as a battle. This was done before, but the enemies were too often living beings. Now, your enemy can be time, a security program, or even yourself and your fears. The rallying cry is no longer, "For Glory!" but " For the Empire!"
The Romulans are currently considered neutrally-aggressive. Menaing that there is limited passage through the neutral zone and all ships that do are escorted. There is a testing for an officer exchange program and it is looking promising. (All this may change after I watch Nemesis.)
The DTI is petitioning the Federation council to become its own entity.
The energy ribbon from Generations was "turned off." Now there is no threat of Kirk or Picard or others living forever.

My campaign is based around a single divergent event that has huge repercussions.
In the middle of Star trek: insurrection, the UFP undergoes civil war. There are now three major groups claiming to be the UFP.
1) Admiral Doughertys federation. Expansionistic, Militaristic.
2) The Maquis.
3) the federation that seems to be the true federation. The enterprise crew is in this one. There will be a dark secret to this one later.
The crew of the USS Kochanski are now trying to figure out who is friend and who is foe. They're based near ferengi and cardassian space.
We've played twice so far, so there isnt much more to it than that.
