Star Trek: Galaxy (Pre Production/Premise)

[johnsonalmighty]

Now I don't know if this idea is going to be writtin out into a fan-fic, a fan-comic, or a fan-animation. I do know is that if I do the latter, I would wait until Boxing day so I could pick up a scanner, a tablet, and flash. So I'm posting the idea so it can either take take flight, or crash and burn before I go into production. So please, all critisim is welcome, and any idea's to make the story better is also welcome with open arms.
Without further ado here is the premise of Star Trek: Galaxy.

Backround: The year is 2509, the early 26th Century, a time of restoration and hope in the aftermath of a devastating war. The Federation barely won, and lost most of her territory. Her borders barely extend past Vulcan. The morale of Earth's populace is just as small. Because of the low morale levels, the higher-ups of Starfleet Command have iniatated Project Re-Genesis, hoping to rebuild the United Federation of Planets the way their forefathers did; To Bodly go Where no Man has gone Before.

Project Re-Genesis: Thought up by the higher echelon of Starfleet, is a massive construction of starships built to emulate the glory days of the UFP. These new Starships, still use late 25th century tecnology but cleary resemble older class designs such as; Constitution class, Exselsior class, and the Federation class to name a few.

The Ship: NCC-1701-G, the U.S.S Enterprse, a constitution remake. Unlike most of the new ships being shipped out becasus of Project Re-Genesis, The Enterprise has the first tested, and fully functional transwarp drive. Her mission is to explore the M-33 Galaxy, to seek out new life, and new civilizations much like her earlier predessors.

The Characters: Unfortunatly there is no way in hell I can focus on a lot of Characters so the story revolves around four characters, and their friendships with each other as they traverse in a new Galaxy.

The Captian:
Name:Chris Harper Age:33 Human Male
Nicknames/Titles: The reincarnation of Captian Kirk, Kirk 2.0, Young'n, and Mr. Tropical.
Likes: Women, Good Food, Chess, Mixed Martial Arts ( Tai-jutsu, Moi-Tai, and Kickboxing)
Dislikes: Romulans, Cardassians, the color Red, being called Captain Kirk.

Past: Born on Earth in 2476, Harper grew up in Canada. at the Age of 20 he enrolled into Starfleet Military, which put him into the front lines of the war right away. He was stationed on an unnaimed colony near the neutral zone in which he ended up as the sole survivor from a joint Romulan-Cardassian assalut. That ended his 2 year stint in the military. Afterwards he joined the Academy and left with decent grades at the age of 26 and a junior lieutenant. his first command was the USS Seraphim at 32 but due to Project Re-Genesis he is now Captian of the USS Enterprise.

personality: very easy going.

Other notes: -He disbelives in the No win Seneario
-Best Reaction Time out of all the Captian's due to being a marine.

The Executive Officer:
Name: Kate ( last name withheld) Age: 32
Half Human/Half Betazoid.
Likes:Chess, Reading, Ancient recordings of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd.
Dislikes: She has Clostrophobia, she dosen't like her family, beer

Past: She enrolled in Starfleet Acadamy in 2496. She was in the same Grad class as the Captain. But due to her being a social outcast there so they didn't really notice each other much. She definatly became noticed by Starfleet Command during her exploits on the USS Farragut.
She is known for her brilliant Tatics, and the use of her powers to manipulate her opponents. When she was transfered over to the Enterprise she thought she would get promoted to Captian. When she found out about somebody else being the Captain, she was a little choked to say the least.
(To be Contiued....)
P.S. if I put this in the wrong section, I apologize.

Interesting premise, but I'm not sure about re-creating such a Kirk-like character. Someone who simply emulates an earlier notable is usually only a pale shadow of the former. Wouldn't it be more interesting to make your captain his own man instead?

Just a thought.

Oh, and bringing back a Constitution-class? Hmm, dunno if that'd fly.

 

[johnsonalmighty]

Actually I already have a picture of the Enterprise-G, sketched out in My room it's more like a Sovereign, Galaxy, and TMP Constiution class blenden together via Blend Tec.
As for Harper he's not so much as a rehash of Kirk, but he has his traits. He HATES being compared to a dead man, always in his shadow puts him in pressure to live up to his name so that his internal confict, responsiblity.

Not a bad idea. I like it (I've done something similar for the last eight years in the same setting). Link in my signature.

Good luck with yours though.

Coolness. I'm eager to see what you come up with.

Is there any internal conflict within the crew? Not neccessarily outright antagonism, but some friction is good IMO.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Do you know how it was the Cardassians and Romulans found the means to go to war? The Cardassian Union was absolutely devastated in 2375 (and that was the second serious war they'd been in that decade). As for the Romulans, I have to think they were in a pretty unstable situation following the Shinzon incident. How did they get the wherewithal to beat the Federation back so badly?

And if they had the ability to do that much damage, why didn't they finish the job?

Good Point, It wasn't just the Romulans and Cardassains, but the Klingons, and other races that had a grudge against the Fed too. Why they didn't finish the job? Truthfully I got nothing, but If I be so Bold make a Point, Why did Hitler lose WW2? He didn't listen to his generals, and the Russian Campain, Operation Barbossa failed miserably.
So as the Feds were being pushed back maybe they applied the Schorched Earth Policy all to literally.
If that doesn't turn the tide because the opposing forces don't get certain resources, I'll assume The Feds used some WMP's( Weapon of Mass Destruction. )
That and the Kilingons, Romulans, Cardassions, and the others probably have had some bad dimpolmacy.
Anyhoo nothing is final yet I'll post the actual events of the war later
when I got it all figured out.

Well well. I guess we will have to wait and see

I can see the spoon heads, turtle heads, and rommies starting to bicker as they try to decide who gets what. As communication between them breaks down, the federation gets some breathing room and is able to make a stand.

I wouldn't use "Enterprise", as you mentioned that things went severely FUBAR with the new Romulan-Cardassian Alliance in the last half of the 24th Century & that included the Sovereign-Class 'U.S.S. Enterprise-E' likely going down in humiliating flames. The Federation News Service capturing images of a series of Keldon-Class assault ships & Norexan-Class warbirds, circling the Enterprise-E, while tearing Starfleet a new a**hole.

I'd use the next best names, "Excelsior", possibly even use the name "Defiant" or "Voyager".

The Borg watched from the edge of charted space as the A.Q. Alliance fell back on previous centuries of animosities.

• The Romulans, severely weakened from the Shinzon Incident & the power vacuum leading to its own self-inflicted demise via a combination of Vulcan-Romulan Reunificationists, peace rallies, and political infighting / rivalries including sabotage that hampered their efforts to recover from the Dominion War or be taken seriously by external threats.
  
• External threats such as The Reman Footsoldiers who drastically outnumbered the Romulans. Remans that were hardly intimidated by the prospect of simply taking the continent on Romulus they desired or sufficient supplies to start-over elsewhere.
  
• The Romulan civilian-public's embarrassment as they learned more about the slavery of its Reman neighbors and the historic role of the broken-but-not-beaten Tal Shiar, as Starfleet's influence gradually seeped into their lives, via an ongoing Federation presence and Starfleet crews' education of Romulan children.
  
• Ferengii Women, as ruthless as their male colleagues, now openly and freely practicing business, utterly unchallenged. Plus, The Orion Syndicate, both laughing at the fates of the larger powers while taking over the economic benefits of the Federation's, Romulans, Cardassians' & others' defaulted trade agreements.
  
• The Klingons, nearly completely decimated by The Dominion and the brief re-appearance of The Hur'q & their Kam'Jathae fighters on Quo'nos. This wouldn't be the first or the last the Klingons would see of them.
  
• The next war with The Hur'q (enhanced by eons of on-again/off-again contacts-with, or evading-when-necessary, other warrior cultures such as The Borg, Iconians, The T'Kon Empire & others,) would be a few short years later.
  
• A lone craft managed to quietly fade back and drift past the U.S.S. Typhon & its Valkyrie-Class fighters (the pilot hoped he'd be disregarded as battle debris,) and flew back through the rift they initially came through, to a listening post & staging ground. A staging ground with several more waves of their ships parked on the other side with sensor information important to the Kam Jathae & The Hurq's next few decades of important decisions.
  
• The Jem Hadar /Dominion were going through their own problems with leadership challenges rippling through the Vorta ranks and back to The Founders. Leadership challenges and difficulties with Ketracel White production monopolies as other organizations in the Beta & Alpha Quadrants were getting information about Ketracel White from unscrupulous agents of Section 31 infiltrating Starfleet Science. Or, by manually retrieving the remainder of Ketracel White vials from around the necks of dead soldiers on planetary battlefields or salvaged from Bug Fighter wrecks. In addition to the ongoing personal losses the Dominion were taking from their own run-in's with the Borg.
  
• Starfleet / The Federation was severely decimated by a few rogue Klingon, Romulan and Cardassian houses (led by a house loyal to The House of Duras,) that decided to band together for their own sake & leave their homeworlds, High Council and Romulan Senates to their own cruel fates. All of them being pursued by the Hur'q, hounding them and everyone left to fend for themselves in the meantime. A last ditch effort to join a triad with the Romulans & Cardassians failed. The Borg closed-in & were scarcely defeated by a surprise turn by The Hur'q to help the proposed Klingon-Starfleet-Cardassian Triad with some limited help from the Dominion.

Okay where to begin, first off the Enterprise is a symbol of hope for a new era, so no, the name stays the same. Second, While my earlier Trek lore is good, DS9 and VOY lore is FUBAR becase I never watched the show.
So are you pointing out how it could work, thus making my life easier? Or, are you stating facts why it won't work in the 26th century, Oh btw the war itself would probably be mid 25th century.
UPDATE: I did some sketches they will be added to Main post
UPDATE2.0: Cant edit my topic post so I will post pics and info here

Promo Sketch which turned out to be "fun" with felts:

Nu Constitution Sketch (Not JJ-prise):

Nu Excelsior Sketch:

Trying to make your life easier by pointing out how things crumbled in the 24th Century. Cool new ship! Anyone going to 3D render this one?
