okay, here's the new series.
it's set in the star trek 'present', a few years after Voyager ends. The series opens at Starfleet Academy where Picard is teaching (he's offering a few words of advice to a favourite pupil, or presiding at the graduation cerimony or something. he's just there to tie it in to the old ST). The first episode follows a bunch of new recruits as they graduate and are sent off for their first training cruise. The next few episodes follow the trails and tribulations as they get to know the ropes aboard a starship...there are minor crisises and adventures, people get to know each other, the new crew starts to bond, yada yada. Halfway through the season the big story starts to kick in: outlying sysytems of the galaxy are falling to some MYSTERIOUS FORCE...it's a plague that wipes out entire planets, entire cultures, but it something more: it almost seems directed...controlled...but by who? or what? it's all starting to develop into a wee bit of an emergency, so the new crew is roped in to providing aid and assistance . As the series progresses things get worse and worse. The plague is unstoppable. It appears to be either directed by or part of some sinister shadowy alien entity from intergalactic space. The Klingons and Romulans are sent reeling. Cardassians are up to their old tricks trying to take advantage of the chaos. the Federation declares a state of emergency. The season one ends with Earth falling to the Plague menace, Starfleet is fragmented, there's a whopping final battle as various factions of the crumbling empires try to sieze control...The new ship and her crew are caught in an ambush...oh no!
should season two ever get funding, it would follow the survivors of the catastophe as they try to piece the federation back together and defeat the alien menace.
there ya go. That's my geek credits earned for today.

I seem to remember an episode of Star Trek where Riker ordered the Enterprise into geostationary orbit above the pole. 24th century technology, eh?

His active camoflage needs a bit of tweaking...
