Mark today, today is the 10th universe of the Ending of STAR TREK ENTERPRISE
10 years without STAR TREK on TV what would the story line be if you were to create a new star trek series?

    Oh, its been mentioned before on these forums, but I've felt that by the end of Voyager, Trek was (probably artificially) making the galaxy seem smaller. STO has certainly created that feeling. So I'd be all in favor of a series getting back to deep exploration, this time to one of the adjacent dwarf galaxies. I believe jonsills has suggested this before as well.

    Or, as a variation on a theme, I'd be interested in seeing a deep space exploration that involved a small self-sustaining fleet launched with either generational ships or cryo-sleepers across the expanse back-tracking across the trail of one of the many species known to have entered our galaxy. For example, "By Any Other Name" introduced the Kelvans of the Andromeda Galaxy, who by episode end had adopted our forms and our ways. What if a joint exploratory force, including descendants of the Milky Way Kelvans (now more human-like than Kelvan) were to retrace their path back to the Andromeda Galaxy to learn what has become of the Kelvan Empire? This has the interesting possibility of "arresting" technology development, or at least isolating discoveries to within the fleet itself, slowing development. So, although fleet crew who arrive in Andromeda are roughly at a technological level equivalent to Voyager's end, it is actually 300 years after Voyager.

    I'd also do my best to wipe out the future that builds the flying pancake that is Enterprise J. Ridiculous, huge target, and ugly. ;)

    On the plus side, there are 725 TV episodes in constant syndication somewhere, so you are never really without Trek. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Does that include TAS? Just curious.

    Yes, it does.

    TOS: 79
    TAS: 22
    TNG: 178
    DS9: 176
    VOY: 172
    ENT: 98

    Star Trek Magellan! The ship (or task force) will be months/years away from any possible reinforcements or repairs/supplies from the Federation due to the intergalactic distance (even with Slipstream, just crossing the Milky Way was supposed to take a couple of months, and the Magellanic Clouds are nearly 3 times that distance). That means that you have the "good" part of Voyager's scenario (operating on their own in unknown space) without the desperation of trying to get home all of the time.

    Technically, the destruction of the Sphere network by the Enterprise caused that timeline (with the battle of Procyon V) never to have happened.

    You're a week too late. Star Trek ended with Terra Prime.
    There is no such thing as TATV....

    FYI - the TOS episode count is up to 80 now as they include the restored color print of the originally unaired pilot episode "The Cage" on the TOS DVD/Blu-Ray sets and in the syndication package of the few stations (like ME TV) that still air the syndication reruns.
    Formerly known as Armsman from June 2008 to June 20, 2012

    Heh. ;)

    Although... didn't "Terra Prime" air on the same night as "These Are The Reasons Why Berman & Braga Are Never Allowed To Work On The Franchise Again..."? I thought I remember Enterprise having a two-hour finale *technically*?

    But it doesn't mean that the ENT-J won't exist in that form. It just means that that specific battle doesn't occur.

    Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.

    I dare you to do better.
