[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] In brief, for those who're curious, here's mine: In the late 24th to early 25th Century, aboard the science-vessel USS GRISSOM, Commander Connor Macy and his crew conduct deep-surveys of solar-systems, spending up to a year to do the indepth work of scientific discovery. STAR TREK: GRISSOM is a show geared towards character-study and interaction. While the show won't shy away from explosive shoot-outs on occasion, the show's purpose is to explore the Federation cultural dynamic (and some could argue "cultural divide") with a main cast featuring two humans and five aliens. When it does come time to fire up the phasers and shields, Commander Macy's crew knows they have to use their brains and out-think their enemy (in this case, the TZENKETHI), since their tiny Nova-Class-like ship boasts limited defensive capabilities. CMD CONNOR MACY is the ship's commander (addressed as "captain" by his crew, an honorific title referencing his position). He doesn't know much about science-missions, having spent most of his career fighting Federation adversaries. But he's in command of the GRISSOM because Starfleet wants a combat-experienced commander to balance out the ship's limited defenses, particularly given its first season assignment researching a solar system close to the Tzenkethi border. LCMD SIPAR, DSc - Sipar wears a multitude of hats aboard the Grissom: He's the Mission Commander, the Lead Science Officer, and the Executive Officer aboard the GRISSOM. He's an experienced and well qualified scientist who isn't above "tooting his own horn" and considers himself -- not as a Vulcan, but as a scientist -- the best qualified officer aboard the ship. Sometimes, he doesn't understand that being the mission commander does not make him the ship commander, putting him in conflict with Macy. In addition, our cast includes a Xindi-Sloth Operations Manager, LT (JG) HAAILST; an enlisted Andorian chief of security (who spent much of his career in the Andor Military Service before requesting a lateral transfer to Starfleet), GOSVAR; a Caitian Flight Manager who is able to provide a more sympathetic viewpoint towards the Tzenkethi, ENS MRAWLU; a Bajoran-Cardassian hybrid Chief Engineer torn between loyalty to what he considers his home (Bajor) and a pull towards his ancestral people (Cardassia), LT (JG) HADAAR; and a human Chief Medical Officer, Dr. KYLEI eager to explore the galaxy. The show will be set along the Tzenkethi border during its first season. The fiercly xenophobic Tzenkethi have been testing the waters for new incursions into Federation space, sure to provide tense moments for the GRISSOM crew. In terms of other "Big" Star Trek races which might appear: The Klingon Empire eventually collapsed after the expendatures of the Dominion War. A Klingon renaissance is under way, and the society is moving from a warrior-culture to an artistic and peaceful one. There are, of course, sub-cultures, some of which retain their Old Warrior Ways.
