[Ships Of The Line] The NEw Orleans

One of the first multi purpose vessels built for the mid 24th century refresh of Starfleet, the New Orleans was the most adaptable model within the larger Galaxy family of starship design. With a trio of mission specific sensor pods, the ship was perfect for short term research missions as a primary objective whilst being able to swap out the pods for more specific purposes or even as defensive units. Smaller than the 'heads of the table' Galaxy and Nebula classes, the New Orleans was the more traditional design in the mid-scale models similar to the Cheyenne and Springfield Classes. Hosting a crew averaging 500, the ship was tightly packed with mixed crew quarters and multi-purpose research facilities to accommodate for the far-ranging tasks it would be assigned to, whether it was planetary defence or survey operations. With modernised nacelles […]

Inside Trek

That Guy From That Thing: Adam Scott

Warping from story to story and finding strange new worlds with strange new people on them, Star Trek has always attracted a wider variety of talent into it's ranks from Academy Award Winners becoming religious leaders of Bajor, to sports personalities starting their screen career as space gladiators. But while many known stars have found themselves in the Star Trek universe, sometimes looking back you find a once relative unknown extra celebrating the arrival of the Enterprise who went on to greater things... First Contact is one of those movies that just fires into the plot without much time to waste. Fairly swiftly we go from a classic briefing room scene and before you know it the Enterprise is racing into battle after a few seconds of listening to a Federation task force being decimated by the Borg in the […]

Fleet Alert!

Tour The Galaxy with the USS Tesla!

Every quarter we'll be putting a division of Quadrant 2 under the spotlight as we Tour The Galaxy with the best and brightest of the fleet. And to start off on a high, we thought we'd begin with one of our fastest developing groups in the past decade; the USS Tesla! The first unit to launch following our mass fleet reorganisation a decade ago, the USS Tesla was first proposed as an idea in passing conversation and soon blossomed into one of the leading groups in both Q2 and in Scotland. Coming in with established roots in the sci fi community, founding members of Tesla were already well known in fan circles thanks to their association and membership with the UK Colonial Marines and diverse involvement at events in Scotland and beyond. Spearheaded by Fraser who stands as CO of […]

A Fistful Of

A Fistful of Strange Old Faces.

Since it's inception, Strange New Worlds has reintroduced some old favourites back into the Star Trek Universe, from giving M'Benga a full featured role as ships doctor to ending season 2 by bringing a young Scotty into the conflict with the Gorn. The trend will continue in season three with Nurse Chapel's relationship with Roger Korby - a thread that began with original series episode What Are Little Girls Made Of - as well as continue to tell the story of James Kirk's first steps into command while dropping by the Enterprise while assigned as the Farragut's first officer. Revisiting old characters isn't a trend that Strange New Worlds began, but it's one that's been embraced and while we'd all prefer for Star Trek to keep true to the 'new' part of the title, there's still some fun to be […]

Who Is

Who Is…. Montgomery Scott?

Starfleet engineers are known throughout the universe for their innovation and ability to fix absolutely anything. Whether it's connecting all the warp cores or turning rocks into replicators, the legend of the engineer all started with one man: Montgomery Scott. Born in the early 22nd century, Scott was raised in the years of Starfleet's mission that turned a small force into stuff of legend. With a passion for learning Scott was trained in a mix of obsessively learning everything he could to the point of reading technical manuals as a pass time, to hands on experience working on some of the finest and most complex systems in the fleet. Assigned as chief engineer of the Enterprise in the 2260's, Scott saw the prestigious ship as his own; engineering his complete domain where even the captain was merely a guest on […]
