THE SETTING
The Time- 2245, twenty years before James T. Kirk will assume command
of the USS Enterprise
The Galaxy- The Federation has been in existence for eighty-four
years. A disastrous first contact has made the Klingon Empire an adversary
. The Romulans have not been in contact since the war in 2156.
Orion pirates plague the space ways, attacking and looting ships
and colonies. The Vulcans, while supportive of the Federation, are wary
of Starfleet and actively oppose its expansion. Most of the Alpha
Quadrant remains unexplored; space is the final frontier.
The Ship- USS Enterprise NCC-1701, Constitution Class Starship.
The newest of twelve ships in this class, with three more currently under
construction. Six of the ships are Cherokee class vessels upgraded to Constitution
specs. One is a Constitution prototype upgraded to the final Constitution
specs. The Enterprise has a crew complement of 220. It is armed with lasers
and photon torpedoes. This is it's first five year mission. Since
it is twenty years prior the Kirk era, the ship may look somewhat different
internally and externally, but should be identifiable as the same Enterprise
from the original Star Trek series.
When the Constitution class ship design proved successful and was
completed ahead of schedule Starfleet decided to upgrade the last of the
Cherokee class ships still under construction to Constitution specs and
modify several existing Cherokee class ships as well. A previous prototype
for the Constitution class, NX 1697 was also upgraded to the final Constitution
class specifications as well.
