Hang on,
Star trek cardinal, hmm sound nice BUT!
Id like to read about some more concepts.
So i thought id put 1 up here myself, given the fact that it seems needed to shuffle the order as it has been for ages id set out to do the unthinkable...
Yes, starfleet/federation must suffer...
In short id suggest the following (mini) plot:
As voyager returnes to earth exitement quickly rizes... the newly found technology gives the federation such a jumpstart into the quadrant that some of the old enemies join forces to mimic obtain or destroy this now overwhelming power. Cardassians and romulans join forces with some other minor races, later to be joined by the ferengi. When talk about peace and sharing knowledge suffers at the hand of patriotic self interrest war is immonent, The cardassians together with their new allies found a new galactic order as a direct opposite to the federation. Trying to steal obtain or mimic the new technology they do the unthincable...
We join in deep inside the war, in what looks like a post appocoliptic quadrant, scattered destroyed. The fight is now one of open territory, lost technology, and rescources to be fought over. As starfleet hangs on the end of its lifespan a half destroyed starfleet command central hovers in space,
knocked out of the earths orbit. from its possition we get to vieuw our new crew being reduced to the old times of space pirateering, rules are easilly broken for the greater good, and fighting space scum is every day buissiness.
Could starfleet endure?
ferengi see this era as the era of one big quadrant full of free merchendise collecting stealing and selling junk to the highest bidder, even if within starfleet borders.
All races are tangled in a narrow line of cooperation and patriotc self interrest in rebuilding their races.
The federation is forced to rebuild, rethink and reshape what they had.
What happened at the time of the big bang? Can technology fix what was lost? Or is the quadrant now one big sitting duck for borg or previously encountered gamma quadrant scum?
Let the games begin...
Sorry for the poor english,
Alpha.
