Captain Jacobs Of The USS Ent-F

[Bry_Sinclair]

I disagree however with your assessment that Worf in Nemesis was not ambassador and was back on the Ent-E.
Worf had just been to Rikers wedding and the ship was given fresh orders to go to Romulus, they didn't have time to drop Worf off anywhere so he tagged along and they made use of his tactical skills.

Why is he wearing a uniform and rank insignia? If he was onboard for the wedding, surely he would be in civvies, or ambassadorial attire. Then if he's asked to remain onboard for tactical support, he could then have a uniform without rank insignia (like Paris in "Caretaker", when he was a mission specialist).

But that's just my opinion.

Apparently there was to be a line in NEM to the effect that 'Diplomacy was not for me' but they deleted it; Stuard Baird didn't really care about things like continuity or explaining what had happened since DS9, so it got cut.

It sounds like a good 3 episode arc in a series. But I dont see it lasting any longer than that. Maybe a 1/2 season. But 5 or more seasons of that would get repetitive. Just my opinion.

My imagining of early 25th century Star Trek would be that following the destruction of Romulus, the Klingon Empire decides it is the best opportunity to attack. Klingons after all are a warrior race, they look for battle and war. Would the Klingons value their alliance with the Federation above the very foundation of their society?

It depends. Klingons value honour above all else, and having won a war with the Federation prior to that may make them see the Federation quite highly. Klingons value alliances if it's with cultures/races who they deem to be honourable.

During the invasion of the Romulan Empire in 2389 the Federation/Klingon alliance came to an end and hostilities resumed. The Federation re-enforced their border with the Klingon Empire by deploying Defiant Class ships armed with Transphasic torpedoes.
The Klingons had no defence against the torpedoes and were too busy anyway with the war against the Romulans.
In 2390 the Federation and Klingons re-established the neutral zone and contact between the two powers ceased. The Klingons focused all their efforts in their war and spent many years fortifying their hold on Romulan space.

Hundreds of millions of Romulan refugees headed for Federation space in 2391 to escape the war and a Romulan colony planet was established within Federation territory in 2391. By 2393 the Romulan colony now named Aeneas submitted an application to join the Federation. The application was successful and the Romulans gained a seat on the Federation council. The Romulan elected to the Federation council voiced his opinion vigorously and often that the Federation should help free the Romulan Empire from Klingon occupation, an opinion that was always rejected by the rest of the council.

In 2395 Starfleet perfected the Transwarp technology they acquired by the Borg and began the construction of conduits between all the major planets of the Federation. Construction was completed in 2406.

In 2408 a new Chancellor takes charge of the Klingon High Council, a Chancellor who believes it is time to turn the Empires attention towards the Federation.
In 2408 the USS Enterprise-E is destroyed whilst answering a distress call in uncontrolled space. The distress call was a fake and the Enterprise-E was attacked by a new class of Klingon vessel which utilised a new type of weapon and whose shields could protect against Transphasic torpedoes.
Although the Ent-E was destroyed the Klingon ship was a prototype, with the success at destroying the Ent-E the Klingon Empire begins rapid construction of more of this new class of ship.

All attempts by the Federation to contact the Klingon Empire failed. With the new threat from the Klingons and the loss of the Federations torpedo advantage, Starfleet gave the order for all Federation ships to be fitted with cloaking devices.

In 2410 the new USS Enterprise-F is commissioned. The ship is fitted with all the latest technology including a cloaking device and the ability to access the Federations Transwarp network but not generate it's own conduits.
As the ship is about to leave spacedock Captain Jacobs receives new orders. A Transwarp generator ship, a ship built to create and re-enforce conduits has been hijacked by unknown assailants, but Starfleet believes it may be the Klingons. If the Klingons get their hands on the Transwarp technology it will pose a serious threat to the Federation. The Klingons could launch a full attack directly against Earth.

The new series actually follows Jacobs from his position as tactical officer in 2389 aboard the Sovereign Class USS Odyssey all the way to his captaincy of the Ent-F in 2410.

Everything I wrote above we learn within the first series by following Jacobs life. The final episode of the first series is where the Ent-F is commissioned and sent to locate the Transwarp generator ship. That particular story follows on in series 2.

That's all I have for now but I will be back with further series information on how we learn everything above and biographies and likely other ideas.

Interesting, but in all Klingon/Federation contact, the Klingons have never attacked Earth. This is despite having a tactical advantage in possessing cloaking technology. If anything, Earth cannot be that far from Qo'nos, considering that Archer went there in Broken Bow. I'd imagine that there is a permanent home fleet surrounding Earth and the other core worlds (Vulcan, Andor, Tellar, etc.) so that in itself may ward off attack.

It's not a bad idea, but I think the Klingons in Trek terms have been overdone and overused. I reckon the next enemies of a Trek series need to be somebody new and original.

My problem with this is just the justification to have the Klingons attacking the Romulans because they're "warriors, that's what they do". As indolover points out the Klingons still praise honor above all else and would have to find a legitimate reason to attack the Romulans that in their eyes would save face with their concept of honor. My point I was attempting to explain was that by simply attacking them because "they're warriors" invalidates their sense of honor. They would not do that in any case which is why I suggested to her to find a political reason for the Klingons to attack them.

How about this?:

Martok dies, leaving the Empire in disarray. Once again a civil war threatens to break out, but Worf retrieves the Sword of Kahless* and claims not just the Chancellorship, but with the support of Kahless's clone, the throne itself. Emperor Worf's rule is just settling into feeling like an established fact in the Empire when the Romulan home system is destroyed.

There has been long dissatisfaction in the Klingon general population with the fact that there are worlds that once belonged to their Empire that have been occupied and disputed by Romulans since the previous Klingon civil war. The Federation has been mediating these disputes and attempting to keep the peace, but now, with the destruction of the Romulan home system, popular opinion in the Empire is that now is the time to strike and take back what belongs to them by force - and Emperor Worf, feeling responsible even for those citizens of the Empire that live on the occupied worlds, cannot disagree. They attack, and war begins, since after so long, the Romulans see those worlds as theirs - feeling the need to cling to them even stronger now that their homeworlds are gone.

The relationship between Worf and the Federation becomes a strained one, trying to maintain friendship between the Empire and the Federation while making it clear that no interference will be tolerated. Ambassador Picard is assigned as Ambassador to the Klingons, and Worf's respect for his former commander sometimes only makes things more difficult.

After long years of war and a growing irritation with the Federation in the general Klingon population - because the Federation won't stop trying to interfere, both by launching PR campaigns within the Empire to try to end the war, and also by "providing aid and comfort" to distressed Romulan ships and to Romulan worlds left in ruins by the war, Worf is met, defeated in honorable combat, and apparently slain by someone who then takes the throne by right of being heir, ejects the Federation, and turns the Empire's sights on them, too - with the help of new allies that he brings to aid the Empire (displaced Jem'Hadar, maybe?). Emperor Alexander intends to unite both of the civilizations in his heritage - Federation and Klingon Empire -under a single flag and his own rule.

^ Good luck explaining all of that in a 90 minute pilot episode.

I don't think Lorna meant (and I know that I don't mean) for all of these background events to be onscreen. This is more in the form of information that would go into a show bible so that writers would know what has transpired and can write episodes consistently.

Yes. Just like in the Trek we've seen before, we viewers can get a lot of information through background chatter or a few lines here and there.
Also like I said in my OP, everything I said is to take place is spread across an entire series. The second series kicks off when the Klingons steal the Federation transwarp generator ship.

 

[Admiral_Young]

Worf would not take power for himself...remember he passed the Chancellorship on to Martok in the first place because he had no interest. Instead have some political upstart take over the Empire who has a personal lust for power. A Duras type figure who has support of corrupted council members.

Still would like to see actual plot of the series though, establishing background is one thing, background is important to establish stories you might explore over the course of the series. I'm still interested in seeing the cast. I'd like to see this get fleshed out a bit.

Worf would not take power, true, when framed that way - but he might take responsibility, if it looked like bad things would happen if he didn't.

Honestly, though, even I kinda think the Alexander angle at the end of my post is a little stupid. I really tend not to like it when stories set in large galaxies (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc) keep it "all in the family". But then, I don't like the idea of a Klingon general named "Kain", either.

Is that entire post aimed at that other poster? he's not the OP of this thread you know, I am. Just getting a little confused here.

 

[Admiral_Young]

The reply about the Worf thing was directed at Joyfull...I am of course directing my comments regarding the series at you Lorna. I thought that was obvious. Guess not.

 

[Lorna]

I thought that was obvious.

Guess not.

 

[Admiral_Young]

@Lorna are you gonna actually post some more about your series? Else I think I'm done in this thread.

No, I'm done.

 

[Admiral_Young]

May I ask why? I think you were on to something but correct the holes that people have pointed out and give us an overview of the actual show instead of just focusing in on the Captain and the back story. If you're not posting more because of the criticism then you're going to have to learn how to take it better. Sorry if that seems harsh but that's just the way of things on a public board. Be glad that you're getting any responses at all. I posted a finished short story in the fan fic forum and got over a 150 views but no replies.

That ship would be cool as a contemporary to the Enterprise-D, but as for making it the Enterprise-F...I don't think so.

 

[shawn12]

Its just a rough draft at the moment and not sure exactly what year Andrew Probert designed it. But, he created a design that combined the "organic feeling of the 'D' with some of the angularity of the 'E'."

It was in line as a new 'F' ship possiblity.
