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. These stories feature original and familiar characters such as Captain Hikaru Sulu, Executive Officer Janice Rand, Chief Medical Officer Ariel Cord, Chief Engineer Deneice Maliszewski, Chief Helmsman Boris Lojur, Science Officer Tuvok, Tactical Officer Ryan Peterson, Chief Navigator Linda Parker, Security Chief Brai, Assistant Chief Medical Officer Viger, Transporter Chief Hamilton, Communications Officer Jared Behn, Science Officer Roger Dashner, Assistant Chief Engineer Krasnyk and Chief Psychologist Helen Noel.
