{{quote|''Welcome to the Star Traks Nexus...You will find no Kirks here, nor Picards, Siskos, Janeways, or other good Starfleet captains, crews, and their ships. However, you will find the rejects, the square pegs, the morons and idiots. The Star Traks stories are comedies that not only hold up Star Trek to the twisted mirror of parody in an attempt to enrage all who whole the genre dear, but poke fun at life in general...and who knows, may even have a message to convey about the silliness of real life. Well, perhaps the last is a bit farfetched.''|Star Traks Nexus and Corner Grocery Store [http://star-traks.com\]}}

''[[Star Traks]]'' is aan extensive parody of the ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchise containing wacky takes on the premises of the original series, ''The Next Generation,'' and ''Deep Space Nine''; there are several different authors at this point, with the original/site creator being Alan Decker and later additions including Anthony Butler, Maija Meneks, Brad Dusen, Brendan Shust and more.

There are about a dozen series in all, each utilizing the same basic premise: that the poster organizations of the ''Star Trek ''universe (Starfleet, Section 34, the Borg, etc.) have a habit of trying to isolate their strange, incompetent, or just plain inconvenient members in situations where they can't damage anything other than themselves and each other. Often they can be found manning derelict stations, piloting the starship equivalents of clunkers, or patrolling the distant backwaters of space. In the hands of Traks' capable writers, the resulting scenarios make for a series of hilarious and occasionally heartwarming tales about the oddball adventures of Starfleet's unwieldiest and unluckiest.
