Star Trek was
the brainchild of creator Gene Roddenberry. The Original Series Roddenberry created
debuted in
1965. Despite the series being cancelled after just three seasons by NBC, the
show retained it's popularity over the years and spawned several feature films
starring the original cast. The original series also influenced a great fan
following and decades of conventions, animated series, tons of books and games
featuring the further adventures of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest of the
Enterprise crew.
The series also introduced viewers to many alien races including Vulcans,
Klingons, Romulans and Andorians.
In the late
1980s, influenced by the success of the Star Trek feature films, Paramount introduced Trek
fans to The Next Generation of the Enterprise crew. The adventures of
the new
starship Enterprise-D was a huge success on the fledgling Fox network. For seven seasons and
three films Captain Picard and his crew explored the Star Trek galaxy and
encountered alien races like the Borg, Ferengi, Cardassians and the Q Continuum.
This new series reestablished Star Trek as a television series franchise which
would continue for over a decade and counting.
In the early
1990s while The Next Generation was still on the air another spin-off, this time
based on
adventures on the space station Deep Space Nine began. While
all of the other Trek
series have focused on exploring the galaxy, this new show was mostly centered
around a stationary point in space. This series focused on a much larger cast
than any other Trek series, sometimes juggling storylines involving two dozen
characters. It's main focus was dealing with war and the effects
of war on the Federation as well as on the Bajoran, Cardassian, Klingon and
Dominion races. Captain Sisko must also deal with his role in Bajoran religion
which foresaw his coming as the Emissary. Deep Space Nine also ran for seven seasons and though there are
no current plans for a feature film, it has inspired a number of books and video games
over the years.
Voyager
was the fourth Trek series and it dealt with a starship marooned on the far side of
the galaxy. For the next seven seasons, Captain Janeway and her crew strived to find their way home and struggled against alien races like the Borg, Vidiians, Hirogen
and the Kazon. Like The Next Generation before it, Voyager became the flagship
series on a brand new TV network, this time UPN. The Voyager series' basic
premise was the integration a crew of Starfleet and Maquis renegades into a close knit
family. The crew must overcome their differences and animosities and learn to
work together as well as incorporating new alien beings into the crew as well as
as a holographic character and
a Borg crewmember.
The
most recent Trek series, Enterprise debuted on UPN in the fall of 2001.
Set a century before the adventures of Capt. Kirk, Enterprise is a prequel to all other Trek series and it illustrates mankind's first steps
in exploring the Trek galaxy. Captain Archer's Enterprise is propelled by early warp
engines and utilizes experimental versions of photon torpedoes, transporters and other established
Trek technologies. The crew of the Enterprise must deal with the crafty Suliban
race and a temporal cold war. The series also shows humans first encounters with races like the
Klingons, Ferengi and Andorians as well as their then strenuous relationship with the
Vulcans.
