Fuck yeah.
I'd do a total reboot the prime timeline would have no impact or relevance, neither would any of the canon. This wouldn't be some alternate timeline, it would be THE timeline. I'd keep the Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans and established races and keep or change stuff as i saw fit. I'd keep it set in 2265 and I'd keep it on the Enterprise.
The Premise would be that it is the year 2265, The Federation has begun exploration and colonisation of the Tethys Expanse. It's vast, thousands of star systems, thousands of worlds and alien cultures and unknown dangers lying in wait. The Enterprise has been assigned to the region on an ongoing mission of exploration and to provide support to the fledgling federation colonies in the region. However the Romulans and The Klingons have also entered the Tethys Expanse and begun colonisation efforts of their own. Conflict with both cultures is common and the Federation is a hairs breadth away from war with both. There is also rumours of something else out there, an ancient yet advanced race called the Tholians, who are thought to be a myth. They have slept for centuries but the encroachment into their territory awakens them and what they find happening to their space does not make them happy. It would be dark yet hopeful. The characters would not be perfect and wouldn't always make the right choice. For the most part though they would always try to do their best and represent the ideals of the federation.
The Enterprise will explore, protect and go where no one has gone before.
Crew:
- I'd make Kirk a woman who would have the sex with a dude every time they went to a planet. Lady Kirk would still be able to throw styrofoam rocks at Gorn and judo flip, judo chop and judo kick the bad guy of the week
- Spock would still be a dude, first officer and science officer
- Uhura would be the tactical/security officer
- Sulu would still be helmsman I'd make him gay as a shout out to takei
- Scotty would still be scotty
- McCoy would still be McCoy but I'd make him older and maybe a bit more of a paternal figure
- Chekov would get replaced by Lt. Arex
USS Enterprise
I'd stick with her being a 20 year old ship. The old girl has seen a lot, been on plenty of adventures and been in plenty of battles. The design would be updated to 2017 standards, but she would not be anywhere near as flashy or overpowered as the Enterprise from 2009 Trek. This Enterprise is an old workhorse. The interiors would probably be similar to those we see on discovery but with a slightly brighter but still mellow colour palatte. The interiors would probably also be a little 'unpolished' as to depict the notion that the ship is aged. The Enterprise would not be the flagship but she would be one of the most famous ships in Starfleet. The constitution class is pretty revered but is slowly making way for the new Ulysses Class battleships and ShirKahr class explorers.
The Klingons
They'd have ridges, be bald, probably similar to the discovery Klingons in terms of look, the makeup wouldn't be as restrictive as that used for the Discovery Klingons. In terms of culture they are a warrior culture but much more introspective. Honor is still highly important to them. They believe that war and and aggressive action toward other cultures is a favour. If the Klingons declare war on you, it's because they think you are worthy and deserve to die at the hands of a klingon. They would still hate romulans.
The Romulans
Basically North Korea. Paranoid and isolationist but a powderkeg waiting to go off.
I'd write more but this post is too long already. Long story short I'd do some more stuff that would probably piss off purists. I would then sit back and nourish myself on the rage, hate and salty tears that would no doubt ensue from the butthurt
