Star Trek: Federation

Why was this not picked up instead?

>Star Trek: Federation was an undeveloped Star Trek spin-off to be produced by Bryan Singer. Set in the year 3000, the show was to chronicle a period of decline and rebirth for the United Federation of Planets, spearheaded by a crew on a new USS Enterprise.

"Utopia as a goal is like the fire in a nuclear engine. Utopia in practice is stagnation; it's dry rot; eventually it's death. Which is precisely where we find the United Federation of Planets a few centuries after the last Age of Discovery."

Humanity has become complacent, and many worlds have left the Federation because of its Human-centric nature. Starfleet is stretched thin and many of its ships are outdated. A new enemy called the Scourge attack and destroy the USS Sojourner and two colony worlds. The only survivor is Lieutenant Commander Alexander Kirk. The authorities refuse to believe his story, a state of affairs that causes Vulcan, Bajor, and Betazed to leave in disgust at the corruption of the UFP, leaving it with only twenty systems under its control.

The Ferengi become the dominant power in the galaxy, and make money by spreading the Bajoran religion and making Bajor into a major place of pilgrimage. The Vulcans reunify with the Romulans. The Cardassian and Klingon societies have evolved into more mystical and less warlike cultures, though the Klingon Empire is expanding once more (but they are still on good terms with the Federation).

Admiral Nelscott commissions a new USS Enterprise to return the Federation to its goal of going boldly, but with the ulterior objective of finding the Scourge. After its captain and first officer are killed, Commander Kirk (third-in-command) is promoted to captain of a crew of four hundred.

sounds a lot more interesting than what we currently have

>Why was this not picked up instead?

I wonder why

That was one of the more interesting parts imo.

noice

Bad goy.

The history of Star Trek is full of unproduced spinoffs. Phase II, the Captain Sulu series, the Captain Worf series, and so on. It's just the nature of the beast that is television that many projects are developed and never brought to air.

why does the fate of the Federation revolve around the 300-odd people on board one starship, rather than the hundreds of trillions of civilian citizens living on the planets and stations?

when are they going to stop masturbating to old Horatio Hornblower films?

Because they are the only ones doing any work while the others are LARPing 24/7 in holosuites.

>not having an army of Datas
dropped

>Bryan Singer

They should be able to explore the entire galaxy via transwarp capabilities in this time

Or half way to becoming the Q.

>only 20 worlds left in the federation
>all that Bajoran prominence
>Ferengi more powerful than the Cardies, Klingons, Romu-Vulcans or the Breen

If this is the case, why the fuck hasn't the Dominion or the Borg taken over?

Time travel episodes mean they also have time travel by the year 3000

problem is DS9.

show ends with Rom a figurehead Grand Nagus. the ferengi alliance being a democratic government. welfare and social reforms bringing them closer to the federation.

then there is the Voyager problem 29th century has the Federation Star Fleet Time Police.

Didn't the dominion get BTFO?
Also the borg are at the other end of the galaxy.

This sounds interesting desu.
So basically the other species are fed up with humanity being the leading force of the federation and the whole organization starts to break apart just when a new force attacks?

barclay survives by having transfered his mind into a talking holographic dog that can transform into its own shuttlecraft

Dominion - they got rused by the Cardassians, but then nuked almost the entire Cardassian population to pieces. They surrendered because Odo made that his condition for rejoining the Link.

Borg - transwarp. Voyager confirmed they can reach anywhere in the galaxy through transwarp conduits.

Sounds like typical Singer trash, do they wear leather uniforms too?
The Scourge? For real?
This is Renegades tier fan fiction

Yeah that would go over well with the "b-but Trek is supposed to be optimistic!" crowd.

It could ask the question if utopia is preferable in the long run.

The best way to have moved forward with a TV show, is to do something post Dominion War and ignore all the bullshit of Voyager's return.

>MACOs are back, their own branch with in starfleet now, separate from tactical/security. OD green is their branch color. they are in charge of all planet side combat operations.
>first time ever, Star Fleet has battleships. the first being the Crisis class. a 4 warp nacelle response to the massive Gem'Hadar battlecruiser. able to run at warp 8-9.9 for periods far longer than any other ship. has 2 optional hulls that attach to the bottom of the engineering hull. one is a carrier for federation fighters, runabouts, and shuttles. the other hull is a hospital and dropship bay with large berths. able to serve as hospital ship, refugee transport, or troop ship. the optional hulls are able function as space stations independently and can move at low impulse. there is non of the bullshit you saw on the Enterprise D on board. the ship is more spartan like the NX-01.

The Cardassian and Romulan Empires are still in collapse from the loss of their homeworlds and the Dominion War. The Federation and Klingons are recovering but weighed down with keeping the peace and rebuilding everyone. The Ferengi are on the brink of civil war over the social and economic reforms of Nagus Zek and Nagus Rom. though they can't quiet commit to it until they figure out what would be more profitable. The Breen in their defeat have gone completely isolationist. No one has seen a gem'hadar or vorta in the alpha or beta quadrant since the retreat of Dominion forces. The USS Voyager has been impounded by the Department of Temporal Investigations.

This is the journeys of the USS Valley Forge. An Excelsior class ship patrolling space between the Romulan neutral zone and Breen space. Her captain, an andorian female named Varna, gets new orders to find a prototype star fleet ship gone missing, the USS Crisis.

Voyager and Admiral Janeway BTFO the Borg in the last episode.

Janeway infected the Borq queen and headquarters with the virus Ichib had. Which killed every borg with in the vicinity. Then the Voyager destroyed one of the 6 transwarp hubs. So the borg are crippled and their ability to zoom around the galaxy is diminished.

They also were working on things like subspace teleportation in TNG era.
And voyager practically came back to the alpha quadrant with a database full of bullshit that after proper study and R&D should completely re-write their books on propulsion.
They should have hyperspace slingshots that can launch an exploratory fleet of intrepid class ships to fucking Andromeda, or Magellanic Clouds.

It wouldn't have to be pessimistic, the federation has always been about exploring frontiers and crossing borders... what do you do when you've done everything and everyone is at peace?

It's because it's new territory. Better to keep it safe and do a prequel series, it's more familiar.

>Better to keep it safe and do a prequel series
they did that though
its called enterprise

I don't get why they did this. I guess with older fans a prequel series set around TOS makes more sense, but there's been so much more development in the TNG, DS9, and VOY era than the TOS, ENT era. If they were to set a show after VOY they'd have so much more room to breathe, while making a series set just before TOS kind of suffocates them plot-wise.

All I wanted was Captain Worf

he is the federation's ambassador to the klingon empire now.

Yeah, and they did it again twelve years later.
