#basically u can expect a fuck ton of content for this au bc my brain is just. exploding

Hi hello hey can you give me as many detail as you want about your Star Trek au concept so I can draw it pretty please, go nuts 👍

(tbh creature staring) oh boy you have... opened the floodgates my friend... oh boy.. oh man oh man i'll do the basics to start

the ship is called the USS Orpheus. NCC-2719. Excelsior Class. she's a beauty, and she's brand new. the mission: exploration.

her captain? none other than Ren K'ing, a Romulan officer who climbed the ranks and is a stickler for Starfleet regulation. like. painfully so.

Commander B-00-100 ("Bdoubleo" or "Bdubs) serves as his second officer. Bdubs is a human clone. while he was one of the first to actually function, he also defected from what was intended of him pretty quickly. luckily, though, his individual sentience was encouraged, and he joined Starfleet! (Zedaph loves having Bdubs on board to learn about)

we then have, for the bridge crew... Second Officer/Communications Officer: Lieutenant Cleo, a Kobali Chief Engineer: Lieutenant Mumbo K. Jumbo, species yet undecided Chief Science Officer: Lieutenant Zedaph, a Grazerite Chief Medical Officer: Lieutenant (Jr.) Joe Hills, a Human from Nashville, TN Helmsman: Ensign Pearlescent "Pearl" Moon, an Aenar Andorian Navigator: Ensign Gemini Tay, species tbd Chief Tactical Officer: Ensign Etho, a Vulcan (though i've jumped through some hoops to make his design fit with Vulcans) Security Chief: Commander Scar Goodtimes, a Vexian (my own alien race based on Vexes i'm already very deep in design and culture god help me) Operations Officer: Commander Xisuma, a Kelpien and then the rest of her crew... Engineering: Ensign Eight of Five "Iskall", a defected Borg Lieutenant Seven of Seven "Doc", a defected Borg Ensign Jevin, a Changeling Ensign Keralis, species tbd Ensign Tango Tek, a Xahean Science: Lieutenant Cubfan, a Vexian Ensign Hypno, species tbd Commander "Vintage" Beef, a Human (might change) Medical: Ensign Stress Monstah, alien species tbd Lieutenant XB Crafted, species tbd Security: Lieutenant False Symmetry, species tbd Ensign Impulse, a Taxor Lieutenant Wels Knight, species tbd

where is grian, you might ask? well you see. Grian is part of the alien race called The Watchers. they are entirely unknown to the Federation until the USS Orpheus falls into a rift in a subspace bubble. within that rift-- within that bubble-- they find a lone planet circling a star. on that planet are the Watchers. a species who never interact or interfere with anything that falls through the rift. it's their way! they only ever observe. watch.

of course, Grian is a pesky little bird. and he does not follow that tradition at all.

the USS Orpheus has to send down a landing party to retrieve something from the planet's surface in order to repair their ship from passing through the rift. Scar, being chief of security and also able to talk himself out of pretty much any situation is sent down. because it's first contact and there's no warp signature from the planet, they only send Scar down bc... they can't really risk breaking the Prime Directive.

but uh. yeah. scar runs into grian pretty quickly.

i have. so much brainrot over the watchers and the vexians already too. and also etho's backstory. and ethubs history. and just. so much. so much brainrot. i'm. very excited to share stuff hehehe... esp considering i'm working on some design sheets for some of these guys, esp the vexians/watchers and some of my other alien blorbos <3
