Year 1: The Man Who Broke The Federation

A doctoral dissertation by an obscure professor of philosophy at Harvard University exposes a flaw at the heart of the Federation and rocks the mighty UFP to its core.

These are the stories of the U.S.S. Hunter, a Star Fleet patrol vessel, and its small crew of brilliant misfits who are charged with cleaning up this awful mess...

Episode 1: Flash Forward:
A single scene that depicts the future of Star Trek Hunter - as the U.S.S. Hunter is targeted by at least one Romulan War Bird (this scene comes from Episode 20)...
[1 scene.]

Episode 2: The Colony of New Hope:
Justice Minerva Irons indicts the shady planetary governor of the Colony of New Hope, Governor Emory Ivonovic, for election fraud and holds him over for trial by the Federation Tribunal.
After 2 years in service, the U.S.S. Hunter finally has a director of flight operations, none other than the philosopher, Dr. Kenny Dolphin - the Man Who Broke the Federation...
[16 scenes.]

Episode 3: Breakfast Serial:
A powerfully telepathic serial killer (dubbed the Breakfast Serial Killer) strikes the crew of the U.S.S. Challenger. The U.S.S. Hunter's crew (while on shore leave) are recruited to investigate and are, in turn, targeted by the Breakfast Killer...
[13 scenes.]

Episode 4: Run To Earth:
The U.S.S. Hunter beats a hasty retreat from the shore-leave planet, Ocean, and returns to Earth in an attempt to escape continuing attacks by the Breakfast Killer.
In an entirely unrelated incident, the ship is attacked by a mysterious cardassian battlecruiser (complete with a romulan cloaking device.) The Hunter is only able to escape thanks to its revolutionary recursive warp engine - the brainchild of Wesley Crusher...
[14 scenes]

Episode 5: The Fires of Pon Farr:
In the wake of the death of a crew member, the U.S.S. Hunter's young vulcan security officer enters into the fires of Pon Farr unexpectedly and with severe side effects both to her hastily chosen lover and the U.S.S. Hunter's crew (and, oddly, the entire population of Rhode Island.)
Governor Ivonovic escapes from the Federation Tribunal...only to be taken hostage aboard the same cardassian cruiser that attacked the U.S.S. Hunter in Episode 4.
[9 scenes]
Episode 6: Breakfast Killer #2:
The U.S.S. Hunter's crew is on the offensive, armed with an extremely powerful telepath on loan from the Federation's administrative offices, to hunt down the Breakfast Killer. When they catch up with her on Deep Space 9, all hell breaks loose...
[11 scenes]

Episode 7: The Great Mushroom:
Justice Minerva Irons is tasked with judging a case involving precognition and patents on the mushroom planet, Pillo - a planet dominated by a single, sentient mushroom so large that the planet's entire population of colonists - more than a quarter of a million people - live in a tiny corner of the mushroom...
Emory Ivonovic begins his outlaw podcasts on Subspace Radio Ivonovic...
And there's a Nausicaan Civil War...
[18 scenes]

Episode 8: The Bolian Web:
The entire bolian population is threatened by a bioweapon - a disease that specifically targets bolians. A mysterious half-bolian biologist, Dr. Napoleon Boles, appears to be in the middle of it...
[20 scenes]

Episode 9: The Library:
The U.S.S. Hunter travels to an ancient vulcan library in search of a cure for the bolian bug.
And philosopher Kenny Dolphin travels to meet with Governor Emory Ivonovic to be interviewed on Subspace Radio Ivonovic.
[15 scenes]

Episode 10: The Philosopher:
In the season finale, Kenny Dolphin explains the book he wrote that tore a hole straight through the Federation, an interview on Subspace Radio Ivonovic that is destined to become the most re-watched broadcast in UFP history.
In order to prevent a political scandal that could deeply damage the Federation, Dolphin arranges for Ivonovic to be appointed to the Federation Council.
Meanwhile, the U.S.S. Hunter is on an espionage mission on the far side of the Romulan Star Empire, seeking the ancient Library of the Progenitors. There, they learn about an environmental disaster that will destroy all life in the Alpha Quadrant.
[14 scenes]
