Starfleet Corps of Engineers

The Starfleet Corps of Engineers Reading List is centered around the series of ebooks following the adventures of the USS daVinci of the SCE. The series was originally titled Star Trek: SCE for much of it's publishing run, but was later rebranded as Corps of Engineers. Most of the ebooks were later collected in paperback editions. 

In addition to the main ebook series, two short stories are connected, one from Tales From the Captain's Table, and one from Tales of the Dominion War, both of which share multiple references with several things in the Litverse. Various characters from the series have since appeared in other novels, and they are included here.

Dark blue denotes the primary narrative. Read these for the bare bones story. Light blue denotes the expanded storyline. Read any or all of these to go a bit deeper. The white denotes cameos of Starfleet Corps of Engineers characters in other Lit-verse novels.

As always, not every reference to every other story is mentioned, just the one I chose as most important to show the expanding Lit-verse web.
