Deep Space Voyager the Next Generation


An epic multi-POV, arc based series in the mode of Game of Thrones.


  • Deep Space Nine- Formerly an orbital Cardassian ore processing station, the Bajoran Provisional Government has turned it over to Starfleet to serve as the base of operations for the defense and exploration of the Bajor Sector and beyond. In addition to Starfleet and the Bajoran Militia, there is a large civilian population on the station that includes Bajorans, Starfleet dependents and other foreign nationals.
    • Commodore Benjamin Sisko- Starfleet Commander for the Bajoran Sector. Sisko is veteran of the Cardassian Wars. His wife, Jennifer and son, Jake live with him on DS9, but he has misgivings about them being so close to the Cardassian border.

    • Lt. Commander Tuvok- Starfleet Intelligence. Tuvok oversees various on ongoing SI operations in the sector. Some of which might be above Sisko's "pay grade”.

    • Commander Katherine Pulaski- Chief Medical Officer. A veteran officer with strong opinions, she's often a thorn in the side of Sisko and his unofficial conscience. She's also fond of needling Tuvok and has a low opinion of "spies”.

    • Lt. Commander Data- Chief Operations Officer. An android. Data oversees keeping the station running. Given its blend of Federation, Cardassian and Bajoran technology it is a task that keeps Data busy around the clock. Not needing sleep, he is well suited for the task. As an android wishing to become more "human" Tuvok finds him fascinating.

    • Colonel Kira Nerys- Bajoran Liaison Officer. Kira was a member of the Bajoran Resistance during the Cardassian Occupation. She is still wanted in the Cardassian Union for terrorism. She coordinates activities that involve Starfleet and the Bajoran Militia.

    • Constable Odo- Chief of Law Enforcement for the station. A shapeshifter of unknown origin, Odo was raised on the station by Bajorans. He is strongly attached to the station and sees it as his only home. While nominally in charge of civilian law enforcement, Sisko likes to use Odo for Starfleet related operations as well.

    • Quark- A Ferengi merchant who runs a casino on DS9's promenade. He is also heavily involved in various criminal activities in the sector. As such, he and Odo have an adversarial relationship.

    • Garak- A Cardassian tailor who runs a shop on the promenade. He is the only Cardassian still on the station. His reasons for staying are currently a mystery. Though Tuvok certainly has a few ideas.

    • Dukat - A Gul in the Cardassian military. Dukat is the former Prefect of Bajor and presided over the transition from the Cardassian Union to the Bajoran Provisional Government. Currently he is the military commander for the Cardassian territory adjacent to the Bajor Sector. He would very much like to be Prefect of Bajor again.


  • The USS Enterprise- A Galaxy class vessel, the Enterprise is the newest and most advanced ship in Starfleet. Its primary mission is establishing diplomatic relations with the new worlds beyond Bajor. Its staff includes a large diplomatic team.
    • Captain Jean-Luc Picard- The ship's Commanding Officer. Picard is a man weary of war. The prospect of commanding a mission of exploration and diplomacy has kept him Starfleet. He sees a new war on the horizon and is making every effort to change course.

    • Lt. Commander Chakotay- The ship's Executive Officer. Chakotay's homeworld was on the frontlines of the Cardassian Wars and now lies in Cardassian territory. He's not happy being on a ship whose main objective is to "make nice" with the Cardassians.

    • Ambassador Deanna Troi- The sector's Chief Diplomatic Officer, she divides her time between DS9 and the Enterprise. As a civilian, she's not always greeted with open arms by Starfleet. Her goals are often at odds with Commodore Sisko's, the sector's military commander. Picard is more openminded and she prefers the Enterprise to DS9

    • Lt. B'Elanna Torres- The ship's half Klingon Chief Engineering Officer. She served with Chakotay in the Cardassian Wars and shares his views on making peace with them. [/I]

    • Lt. Commander Beverly Crusher - The ship's Chief Medical Officer. The widow of Jack Crusher, Picard's former XO and closest friend. Her son is in Starfleet and she worries about his future.

    • Ensign Ro Laren- The ship's Flight Control Officer. Born in a Bajoran refugee camp she'd never been to Bajor before this assignment. She's at odds with native born Bajorans, who see the refugees as cowards who chose to flee rather than fight


  • The USS Defiant- A Defiant class light cruiser. Its primary mission is defense of the station and the Bajor system. It serves as the flagship for the commander of DS9.The Defiant is a warship, part of the legacy of the Cardassian Wars. It’s crew is small and most are experienced combat officers.
    • Commander William T. Riker- The Defiant's Commanding Officer. Riker comes across as a genial sort, quick with a joke and a twinkle in his eye. He's also known to have an eye for the ladies. In a combat situation, he's all business. A clever commander with a trick or two up his sleeve.

    • Lt. Commander Elizabeth Shelby- The ship's Executive Officer. She's all business, all the time and isn't afraid to speak her mind if she thinks Riker (or anyone else) is wrong. She has exacting standards and if she had her way the crew would be drilling around the clock.

    • Lt. Worf- The ship's tactical officer. On a ship the size of the Defiant, tactical includes flight control. He respects Riker and admires Shelby.

    • EMH- Experimental Medical Hologram, a new technology that is currently being tested on the Defiant. It's inventor, Dr. Louis Zimmerman is on board overseeing the test. (or is he?)

    • Lt. Ezri Tigan- Medical Officer. Tigan is Combat Field Medic and provides backup for the EMH. An unjoined Trill, who's not on the candidate list, she lives life to the fullest.

    • Lt. Geordi La Forge- The ship's Chief Engineering Officer. Blinded in the Cardassian War, La Forge can interface with the ship's systems through his VISOR, a device that enables him to see. As such he feels and senses what the ship does. At times this seems to cut him off from his crewmates and he wonders if he is losing his humanity.

    • Ensign Harry Kim- Operations Officer. A rookie right out of the academy he's in awe of these "heroes”.


  • The USS Voyager- An Intrepid class scout ship. Its primary mission is science and exploration. Most of its crew are in the Science division and the rest is comprised of young officers, some just out of the Academy. Because of this, the ship has been nicknamed "The School Bus". Voyager spends most of its time away from the Bajor Sector in unexplored territory.
    • Commander Kathryn Janeway- The ship's Commanding Officer. Formerly in the Science Division, this is Janeway's first command. For her the thrill of the "hunt" is what drives her. She needs to know what's behind the next nebula and beyond the farthest star.

    • Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax- The ship's Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. A joined Trill, Dax can call upon decades of experience from her previous hosts. Which is at odds with her youthful appearance. A close friend of Sisko in her previous host, he still calls her "The Old Man". A name that followed her to Voyager.

    • Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien- The ship's Chief Engineer. The real old man aboard the ship, he has a decade on most of the crew. A veteran of the Cardassian Wars, He's one of Janeway's trusted advisors and a father figure to the younger crewmen. (Just don't tell him that). His wife, Keiko, lives on DS9.

    • Lt. Julian Bashir- The ship's Chief Medical Officer. Young, inexperienced and on his first deep space mission, Bashir is out of his element and tries to cover it up with bravado. O'Brien has taken him under his wing.

    • Ensign Wesley Crusher- Operations Officer. A gifted young man, Crusher completed Starfleet Academy in record time. He's the youngest member of the crew and very aware of this, as such he is over eager to prove himself. His mother is the CMO on the Enterprise.

    • Lt. Tasha Yar- The Ship's Chief Security Officer. Growing up as an orphan on failed colony where every day was a fight for survival, Yar feels out of place on a ship full of scientists and overachievers.

    • Lt. Tom Paris- Flight Control Officer. Paris is on board the Voyager as a favor to Admiral Owen Paris, Janeway's former CO. Paris has been a disciplinary problem (and embarrassment to his father) in the past. Voyager is his "last chance”.


So....................... basically blowing up Vulcan wonked up quite a bit.
 
In all seriousness, nothing. I normally LOVE alternate timelines and universes, but this one isn't different enough in the grand scheme of things to make an interesting AU story. It's exactly the same as canon except Kirk and Spock's bios are different, and there's no planet Vulcan.

The only possible, vaguely interesting plotline I can come up with, is that maybe without Vulcan, the Federation weakened and got conquered by the Klingons, Cardassians, Dominion, etc. Since making the humans rebels would make it too similar to the Mirror Universe, this one could be about the Humans and other former Federation races trying to rebuild the Federation. So it would be like "Andromeda," but without Kevin Sorbo and the talking pile of bat turds.
 
Star Trek Towards The Future

Set immediately after the events of Star Trek Beyond, this series follows the adventures of the U.S.S. Kelvin, NCC-0514-A, on a mission to support the Federation's colonization efforts in the Armens Expanse. Normally this would be a cakewalk assignment except for the presence of a xenophobic and belligerent species called the Sheliak that views all non-Sheliak as inferior and pests to be exterminated. Can the crew of the Kelvin, led by the capable but inexperienced Captain Janice Lester, keep the fragile peace between the Federation and the Sheliak while simultaneously trying to settle this still mostly untamed region of the final frontier?

Wow. You know what? When I turn the little wheels in my head on how I would make a new Star Trek series, - in whichever timeline/timeframe it is, I somewhat always come around using the Sheliak as an early adversary. I don't know why - I think I just like the concept of a dark, scary alien menace that in reality is a bunch of pedantic sticklers. Also I think they are pretty easy to re-design, while still having a somewhat "familiar" alien race to appear. Glad to see I'm not the only one fascinated with them!

(PS: I always thought about doing soe further alterations to the Sheliak. Like their starships being huuuge, somewhat stardestroyer-like, but when they beam aboard, the scary, black Sheliak turn out to be actually midget-sized small beings with a deep voice. Still a mighty power not to be messed with, though.)

Yeah, that's the main problem with the Kelvin-timeline, isn't it? It's basically just "modern TOS", and "Oh, btw ,Vulcans don't matter". Like, I probably would be down with another series set in the TOS-timeframe (although it should look closer to the JJ. Abrams movies than DIS - which, while being a fine show, visually looks totally out of place).

If anyone were to create a new Trek series, I would like it to be set post-Nemesis, even if it would be set in the Kelvin timeline. I wanna' see classic treknology like replicators and holodecks again, just updated for a modern television show.

"Discovery's" visuals are just too busy for me personally. I love the still images I see, but clips I try to watch make me dizzy.
 
My idea would be to do a show based in either the old e-surance commercial (featuring comedian Darrin Rose), or the Hewlett-Packard one featuring the academy class on some desolate terrain.

Reactions: pst
Hrmm. A joint expedition Star Fleet Scout vessel with Vulcan complement looking for a new homeworld for a Vulcan colony. Almost all planetary exploration with obligatory philosophical complications arising from differences between Human and Vulcan mindsets. Kind of a "what if the Taming of the Old West had a conscience and indigenous peoples were treated with respect--most of the time. When they're not massacring the pioneers." Throw in long-lost traditions of Vulcan exploratory expeditions, the discovery of Vulcan culturally related artifacts and ruins, and the inevitable realization that they are following the breadcrumbs of the post-Surak diaspora and unhappy Romulans are waiting down the road.
 
The JJTrek series should take place during or after Into Darkness. A smaller, sleek ship which holds a crew of 300; the average age for the crew should be in their 20's and they're exploring space. The crew should be multi-cultural, this means less caucasians, and focus on a new alien where she/he could shine.
 
Mine would be called "Star Trek" and star:

Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk
Zachary Quinto as Commander Spock
Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard McCoy
Zoe Saldana as Lt. Uhura
Simon Pegg as Commander Montgomery Scott
John Cho as Lt. Hikaru Sulu
and Sofia Boutella as Jaylah

Kirk would command the newly launched U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-A and the series would be a mix of new stories, and a retelling of original series stories with a new spin on them to take advantage of the Kelvin universe.
 
I've been saying for awhile that my dream Trek TV show would be a Kelvin version of TNG. The characters are so rich, and there's so much new you could do with them in the expanded parameters of modern TV.

interesting.

this has less to do with a kelvin TV show than a contrast of TOS vs TNG, but i always thought TNG could never be remade or recast. unlike TOS which dealt with tropes and iconography, TNG's characters were made primarily by the performances and chemistry of the cast. there's not that much text about TNG characters, it's all subtext injected by the cast. so unless we actually see patrick stewart as kelvin picard, i don't know if i want to see what the crew of the enterprise-D is up to in the kelvin timeline.
 
I would literally want to see Discovery. And I'd want the series to basically bookend itself with the Kelvin film

With very minor tweaks (and one prosthetics change), DSC could be a Kelvinverse show and I’d be quite happy with that.

I've always wished DSC was set in its own third timeline, but I'd be just fine with it being a Kelvin timeline show. I'd like to see the Blingons from Into Darkness take on the Purple Klingons from DSC. I'm not even being sarcastic.

I've thought about this. You could even advance the setting a little further to maybe the 2390s so that you can bring back some of the cast from TNG/DS9/VOY. Since it's a different timeline, you could cherry pick elements from Prime timeline TNG, DS9, VOY, but you wouldn't have to adhere to it all. Example: Tasha Yar could still be alive in the future Kelvin timeline. Things could be similar, but yet different.
 
So would I. But the problem is that the Kelvinverse lies with Paramount.
I don't think that's nearly as big a problem as many make it out to be (though I'll grant it would be easier if there definitively were no more Kelvinverse films on the horizon).

Actually, I think (and I've already said) that there should be ties between the movies and any TV show (and I also said that this Star Trek TV show should have been set on another starship, starbase, or space station [a'la DS9] at the same time as the Kelvinverse movies, with a guest appearance by one of the movie series characters in some episodes each season, also a'la what Marvel Studios does with its movies and TV shows being tied together.) I don't think that the Kelvinsverse movies have to end just because there's a Kelvinverse TV show on, and Abrams felt that way too, which is why he pitched a Star Trek (Kelvinverse) animated series that would have been on CBS.

Also, as I said before, an end credits logo for a Kelvinverse Star Trek show shouldn't be hard to do; first Bad Robot, then Paramount, then CBS Television Studios.
 
if discovery never existed and we got the TV/cinematic shared universe bad robot wanted, what would you want to see out of a kelvin timeline TV show?
I'd have a bad guy go back in time and alter history so that James T. Kirk was born in Riverside, Iowa on Earth instead of on the USS Kelvin.

Then I'd proceed to tell TOS stories in the new history. :devil:
 
Just make it like the Kelvin films but in a tv show format and I'd be happy. This is probably my number one Trek pipe dream that will never come true.
