Star Trek: Secret Ops

Star Trek: Secret Ops

Since the end of the Dominion War and the threat from Shinzon of Romulus, the Federation has been forced to re-evaluate its future, although it is going back to basics by exploring the galaxy again by launching Titan and Voyager and a number of explorer class ships.

Starfleet also knows that defense of the Federation is pivotal to keep it alive and builds a new Stealth class starship, which is a prototype and complete with cloaking technology.

The ship's mission is to seek out threats to the Federation and to eliminate it before it can pose a threat, in any way they can. The mission is also classified to only a small group of people at Starfleet Command . The existence of this new prototype ship is also extremely classified information.

The ship's crew is made up of both Starfleet and milliatry personnel consisting of a number of Alpha Quadrant species. They are given the most dangerous mission in the fleet. Most of the crew members are there to protect the Federation but there are a number of officers who have different agendas. They are there looking for a fight or for revenge.

This crew is faced with the hard choices no one else in Starfleet would like to make. They have to make tough decisions everyday. They are not there to explore or to make friends. They are there just to stop any enemies to the Federation at any cost.

When other alien species discover the existence of the Stealth class ship, they will want to capture it for its unique technology and because it's a prototype. The ship will self-destruct if it is captured by enemies.
 
Does anyone think this is a good premise for a new Star Trek series, I think this could be quite interesting as it wouldn't follow the formula that is used in most Star Trek series. This is not a normal crew and they don't have normal positions like science officer, engineer etc.

Its a top secret mission similar to Section 31 this crew will be different to anything seen in star trek before. Some of them are Federation patriots, some of them are still hurting from the War. Some of them just want to get in a fight and some of them out for revenge!
 
So you'll have a new prototype starship but no engineers on the ship...the ship will probably travel 2m and then explode. Plus they have to explore if they are to seek out these new threats.

Don't know why you just didn't go with Star Trek: Section 31.
 
Didn't Paramount consider an idea almost identical to this one when it was developing Season 5?

IIRC they had three possibilities - A 22nd century "birth of the federation" series; a time travel series; and a "Starfleet Special Ops" series. They did focus groups with some fans and decided the prequel was the best idea, and we got Enterprise.

Series 5, yeah, that was the rumor.
