[edit] Premise
The story of the Daedalus are simply stories handwritten over the last 7 years, and have only just begun becoming digitalized via the efforts of STEU members Bok2384 & The Doctor, and later on Talon Lardner. The stories begin in 2376 with the re-launch of the Daedalus, and currently go up to the beginning of 2382.
The series itself is set in the main Star Trek universe, and includes elements from the novels, comics, and computer games.
[edit] Character development
Without a shadow of a doubt, the most successful character ensemble was the triumverate of James T. Kirk, Spock, and Leonard McCoy, which was an essential ingredient in the success of Star Trek: The Original Series. While a similar character set-up was tried in Star Trek: Enterprise, the writers of the series felt the similar dynamic could be tried with the three main characters from the series, Christopher Mackenzie, Selok, and James Maxwell.
[edit] Season One
Season One of Star Trek: Daedalus takes place during 2376. During this year, the crew of the USS Daedalus come together and begin their mission in aiding the Cardassians rebuild following the devastating Dominion War.
