As with VOY, DS9 and TNG, here's your chance to rework the prequel series, how would you do it?
Like VOY, I find ENT to be a missed opportunity which was overall disappointing. Rather than having a crew that seemed to have no idea what they were doing I'd start the show in 2161, just after the Romulan War and the formation of the Federation. Personally, I'd love to see a Daedalus-Class ship as the centre of the action, launched as a beacon of hope for the new organisation moving forward after the war, with a mixed crew serving onboard. Whilst DS9 dealt with stories about being in the midst of a devastating interstellar war, the Prequel would focus on the struggles of rebuilding after it, working with allies in close quarters, and trying to decide just what the form and function of Starfleet will be. It would offer a great chance for character conflict and development, dealing with those who suffered losses in the war and how they come to terms with that, humans having to deal with alien perspectives in a way that will help them to operate a ship. The Daedalus would be involved in the reconstruction work on the frontier, before heading out on an exploratory mission.
Captain Alexander Chase: Commanding Officer. Something of a hero in the Earth fleet, he took command of the Cheron strike force when the flagship was destroyed and led the squadron to the victory that turned the tide of the war. Though decorated for his combat skills and tactical prowess, he had always wanted to serve on the scouts that ventured out further than any other ship. He has doubts about commanding a mixed crew, but he knows his duty and having fought along side the other species in the Federation he does have a great respect for them--he just doesn't know how they'll work together onboard she same ship.
Commander Thylethik th'Shran: Executive Officer. A proud Andorian who has the enviable task of being the highest ranking alien on an Earth designed ship, which sees a lot of resentment from others on the crew (especially the person who thought the job was rightly theirs). Though soft-spoken he is a forthright and courageous man who actually turned down command of a ship in the Andorian Guard in order to take this post.
Lt. Commander Joanna Stiles: Chief Helm Officer. Having served under Chase for several years the two have formed a good relationship, with her being all but assured of a promotion to XO on his next command, until Shran was assigned. She has lost many family in the war and hides her pain behind a blunt and adversarial front, as such only Chase knows of all that she's lost.
Lt. Commander Charles Tucker III: Chief Engineering Officer. One of the engineers responsible for designing the Daedalus, he was given the rare opportunity to see the ship in action. Smart, sharp and with charm to spare, he is a likable fellow though knows how to keep his crew on their toes. With little chance to work with aliens before, he is enjoying the opportunity he has been afforded--so long as they don't badmouth his engine.
Lieutenant T'Pol: Chief Science Officer. The sole Vulcan onboard, so since her people took a step back from active engagement in the war, she faces a lot of bitterness and resentment from others onboard, not that it bothers her nor would she show it if it did. Her talents as a scientist cannot be faulted, though she does have difficulty trying to work with her overly emotional shipmates.
Lieutenant Greht chim Xag: Chief Navigation Officer. A Tellarite who likes to be heard, even when his opinions aren't sought. Arrogant, belligerent and harsh, he doesn't hold himself back which riles up many of his new shipmates which makes him difficult to work with. Unfortunately, he is probably the best navigator available otherwise there would be no reason to keep him around.
Lieutenant Hoshi Sato: Chief Security Officer. From a family with a long military lineage she grew up knowing that she would serve, though she had misgivings she did as was expected of her. She served with distinction during the war, but that just cemented that she wanted more from her life, she's just not sure what. Until she finds a new path she will do her duty with her customary diligence.
Lieutenant (j.g.) Suyasii zh'Tarah: Chief Communications Officer. A skilled linguist and translator, she picks up languages very quickly, she is also high adept at decryption and information retrieval. She appears to be very accepting of others and supportive of the Federation, though in truth she is spying on the ship for the Andorian Guard, who have misgivings over the venture.
Doctor Phlox: Chief Medical Officer. From one of the many planets of the Rigel System he was a member of the Interspecies Medical Exchange prior to the war and volunteered to help out during the conflict, which saw him serving on the frontlines, tending to the wounded from every allied species involved in the fighting. Calm, measured and compassionate, he takes his work personally and will do all he can to save lives.
