"Star Trek: U.S.S. Ark"

Ideas? This was originally Mr. Robert Scorpio's idea but I think it has merit, possibly as an environmentally-aware fan fiction concept.

A possible submission to either Chickadee Magazine or Pocket Books' "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds"?


The U.S.S. Ark, the flagship of a "Task Group" salvaged & recertified for active duty in late 2379 from the Starfleet Museum & attached to Starfleet's Diplomatic Corps.

A Collection of Community Leaders, Refugees, Volunteers & Starfleet Officers head out into the now-quiet battlefields to do what they can to save habitable planets in crisis from deciding to secede from the United Federation of Planets.

The Task Group it leads have been assigned to assist recovery & relocation of indigenous peoples & endangered species on planets decimated by either natural phenomena or as a result of Starfleet's participation & moral responsibility for past actions pertaining to Klingon, Dominion & Romulan War battles that have temporarily or permanently ruined/contaminated alien ecospheres.

I think you might have something here. See, this is a science vessel going to -a. planets recently suffering from catastrophe(like Cardassia) or b. planets damaged by Starfleet actions in the past. And the crew is a bunch of specialists who would be thrown into situations out of their area of expertise. Plenty of original conflict there.

Hey, great job Mr. Gate. I don't have the artistic ability to render something like that, but I am very impressed! Your write up is well done as well.

I think the concept may turn off many on this forum, but that would almost be a good thing dont you think? A very different approach is needed to attract a new kind of fan to TREK, and no other topic seems to inspire our youth as much as the enviroment.

I mean, really, how many more plots could we endure about 'living plasma clouds' or 'God like being toying with humanity'?

I am in the process of trying to formulate a USS ARK storyline. Once I finish it I will post it on your website.
