To Trek Again

We have braved The Triangle. Thrilling intrigues colored Starbase 27. But...is this enough? Because of various logistical reasons neither of those games continue on a regular basis. Each passing day I find myself watching more Trek, getting more interested in scenarios in the universe. Can we recapture the magic?

A New Series

If we were to start a new series, what would it be? There are many questions to be answered, and many possible answers. Each section has a myriad of questions which we could discuss to develop a new and unique idea.

A Time, A Place

When would the game be set? I believe there are only a few reasonable answers to this, though other suggestions are welcomed. Here are my ideas:

Post Enterprise: After the original five year mission, the Federation was formed. Everything is new and different.
Original series: Kirk was not the only captain leading a mission. Klingons, Romulans, Andorians...everyone is an enemy!
Next Generation: The galaxy is more stable, but the enemies more dangerous.
Post Deep Space 9: After the last movie and series, what happens next? Can we write the future of the Federation?

It could be possible to do intermediate years (such as between TOS and TNG), but somehow those seem more difficult. If someone has an idea, however, I am amenable.

How about where? There are virtually limitless options for this, but I propose the following: unexplored space somewhere, another ship in the triangle, one of the other Federation borders, some setting related closely to one of the missions listed later.

And Who Stars Among The Stars?

It is not a given that the series be another Federation series. We could run a Federation series, but might it not also be interesting to try a Romulan, Klingon, Cardassian or Maquis series? What if it is not a government starship? The series could be about traders, pirates, spies, thieves or even wanderers.

The Mission Which Ties Them

Why are you here?

This is not an existential question. There are limitless possibilities, but here are some initial suggestions: exploration, colonization, conquest, patrol, espionage, scientific discovery.

Who are the crew? Are you the command staff, junior officers, archaeologists, Prime teams?

Ideas?
