[Ships of the Line] Dauntless Class (2380’s)

In 2374 the crew of Voyager, stranded in the Delta Quadrant were given a life line; an advanced Starship complete with slipstream drive that would reduce the time of their journey back to Earth form decades to months. Appearing alongside an introduction form Starfleet, the Dauntless appeared to be the next step of Starship evolution.

That Guy From That Thing: Rainn Wilson

Rising to fame through the US version off The Office, Rainn Wilson's ability to lean into the weird and quirky was a perfect fit for paper salesman and beet farmer Dwight Schrute.

A Fistful Of

A Fistful of Holodeck Adventures

Technically introduced in the Animated Series, the Holodeck becam,e a main feature on board starships from Encounter At Farpoint onwards and become a popular setting for an adventure that brought it's own trop[es and traditions. Looking back through the Next Generation era, the Holodeck was an excuse for wild west adventures, sacred rituals and things that would likely make the architects of the Online Safety Act faint if they looked at Quark's commercial offerings.
