In 2285, Captain Hikaru Sulu assumes command of the U.S.S. Cooper, an Oberth-class science ship.  For five years, he commands missions that Starfleet doesn't feel worthy of the attention of one of its top-of-the-line starships. Fortunately, he's got a good crew. But patience pays off, and in 2290, he receives the command of the starship of his dreams: Excelsior. Unfortunately, his crew leaves a lot to be desired.
