Starfleet Corps of Engineers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Starfleet Corps of Engineers (S.C.E. for short) is a series of novellas set in the Star Trek universe. Like other Star Trek books, the books are officially licenced, but not considered canon.

The S.C.E. books are unique among officially published Star Trek fiction as they are initially published online in the ebook format. Many of these novellas have also been reprinted in paperback omnibuses, with anywhere from three to eight stories in each omnibus. At the present time, however, the print version is running approximately 30 stories behind the online version.
