Series seeds

Cut and pasted all these to notepad. Will convert to word & PDF when I get around to it.

[First of Two]

This was a series I posted on another board back when "Enterprise" was just a twinkle in someone's eye.

STAR TREK: EMPIRE'S END

*I want to start off by admitting that the concept of this story is shockingly similar to that of the New Frontier books by Peter David. However, I came up with the idea independently, before I ever read those books. Truthfully.*

It's 5 years after the Dominion War.

The Romulan Empire, having used up most of its military resources during the War, and, due to its isolationism not being able to economically and politically recoup, has collapsed.

The Romulans have split into several squabbling factions, each of which is trying to gain power in its own way, including:
--- Old Imperialists
--- The Tal Shiar
--- The Unificationists
--- Petty Warlords and Pirates

The Orion Syndicate is moving in.

Various and sundry planets that were previously Romulan-subjugated worlds with servitor people, are rebelling, some seeking simply independence, some seeking to startup their own little Empires.

The mysterious unknown powers on the other side of Romulan space (What I assumes the Romulans to mean in "The Neutral Zone" when they spoke of 'matters of greater urgency caused our absence') are making subtle moves and overtures.

Into this cauldron, as an attempt to help create a little stability, while simultaneously gathering information in space that was previously a no-go area, is flung our heroes' starship, either a veteran of the Dominion Wars, or a ship that was constructed shortly thereafter. The older members of the crew are War veterans, the newer ones not much more than cadets. (This would reflect the losses suffered)

They are guided through this space by a Romulan or two on board, possibly including a garaklike character (cross Garak and Neelix?), any or both of whom may have agendas of their own.

Another one, a bit more visual imagination is required.

Fade in to starfield.
Pan slowly upward, as a glow coms from off bottom screen.
*background chatter, almost inaudible*
BORG VOICE: "Resistance is futile."
Random chatter like in when the fleet in ST:FC first engages the Borg: "Lexington has been destroyed! Shields collapsing! fall back! No Effect!" etc.
Upward pan reveals a familiar once bluish planet... now assimilated.
Voice ('Alt. Riker from 'Parallels'): "The Federation's GONE! The Borg are EVERYWHERE!"

cut to visual of small, damaged-looking, loney-looking ship making its way through space.

Voice Over: "Captain's log, Stardate... irrelvant. These are the voyages of the Starship Excalibur. It's mission... to survive."

Interesting idea. Sounds like I'm gonna have to pick up this series. Is it any good?

I don't know... I haven't had the chance to run it yet. My current crew isn't really suitable for the storyline.

Star Trek: Shipyards

The characters include assembly specialists who build the ships that make history. I see my buddies the Elaysians taking center stage here

Cool, I'd be worried if you had Jennifer Beals in your closet (I think Mrs Styro-Liz-Not-Beth-NO-NEVER-BETH would be worried too!) BWAHAHAHAHAH

Star Trek: JAG
Era: any.
Type: Court martial
Setting: Courtrooms of the Federation

The characters are assigned as prosecutors to the JAG branch of Starfleet. Lots of heated debates, court-martials.

[Perrryyy]

Star Trek: City of Latinum

Era: Any, but probably fits better post TOS

Type: Espionage, Comedy, Crime or "Other"

The characters are crewmen stationed on (or conversely, criminal elements of), a Lambda class Starbase/station.

Stories with Vic Fontaine style characters, Ferengi mobsters, the planet in TOS run by mobs/gangters.

Title: Star Trek: Opaka
Setting: Bajor, Starship, Cardassia, the area thereof
Era: Post DS9, Post Dominion War

A new starship manned mostly by Bajorans, as one of the initial steps toward full federation membership (and cellebrating the status of Bajor as officially a "Protectorate" of the Federation), the USS Opaka is a new ship, and assigned to the Bajor/DS9/Cardassia sector areas.

The ships mission is to act as a floating base of Diplomacy, as convoy duty for the relief efforts on Cardassia, and to be a shining example of both the Federation and Bajor's intent to aid Cardassia as much as possible.

Crew would be mostly Bajoran, with likely a Human Captain (I can't see a Bajoran making it all the way to Captain yet... although the Dominion War would speed things up a tad). Class of ship is somewhat irrelevant, though one with high-cargo and planetary support systems would be a plus. Not a Defiant class, by any means, but not a little ship...

Fallout from the war, Cardassian and Barjoran hard feelings, Diplomatic nightmares, renegade Jem'Hadar, Obsidian Order remnants, and perhaps even a resurgence of 'The Circle' deciding that the path towards the Federation is not one Bajor should be taking - especially if they're to help Cardassia along the way!

Why not. In the episode Ensign Ro, Riker said that if it wasn't for Ro's problems she'd have been a Lieutenant Commander. Chronologically that is over a decade ago. So if Ro had kept her nose clean and kept out of trouble, she'd have made Captain around the time of the Dominion War.

I think that Bajorans have been joining Starfleet ever since the start of the Cardassian occupation and the refugees who fled to Federation space would be anxious to enlist. That would mean that there are Bajoran Captains and Admirals by now.

In one of our old games, the CO was a Bajoran who was actually slated to command DS9 but Sisko was chosen instead - the hands of the Prophets have an extremely long reach.

I suppose so. I don't know why I have it in my head that they wouldn't be high ranked yet. I think part of it is that they're not a member species: so they need someone else around to sponsor them to enter Starfleet. And they just seemed somewhat rare: Though in "Ensign Ro" it was said "There are other Bajorans in Starfleet," we only ever really saw Sito Jaxa on the Enterprise-D, and no Bajoran Starfleet people I can remember in DS9 (where they'd be a perfect fit for a posting), and only Maquis Bajorans on Voyager... I figured they were pretty rare, and it might only be during and just after the Dominion War you'd see a lot more of them around (given a 4 year period in the Academy, and access to said academy freed up for most of them at the start of DS9, when suddenly they're not an oppressed people on their homeworld).

I dunno. Just me.

The crew is stationed on a science vessel, mainly exoarchaeologists, searching for the lost relics and artifacts of lost civilizations (or civilizations of the Federation who have know idea what happened to their long lost icons).
