<P>The series follows the adventures of a space-faring crew on board the <A href="/wiki/Galaxy_Class" class="mw-redirect" title="Galaxy Class">Galaxy Class</A> starship <A href="/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(NCC-1701-D)" title="USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)">USS <I>Enterprise</I> (NCC-1701-D)</A>, the fifth Federation vessel to bear the name and registry and the seventh starship by that name. (See <A href="/wiki/Starship_Enterprise" title="Starship Enterprise">Starship <I>Enterprise</I></A> for other ships with the name and/or registry). The series is set about 70 years after the final mission of the original <I>Enterprise</I> crew under the command of <A href="/wiki/James_T._Kirk" title="James T. Kirk">James T. Kirk</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-companion_6-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-companion-6">[6]</A></SUP> The Federation has undergone significant internal changes in its quest to explore and seek out new life, adding new degrees of complexity and controversy to its methods, especially those focused on the <A href="/wiki/Prime_Directive" title="Prime Directive">Prime Directive</A>. The <A href="/wiki/Klingon" title="Klingon">Klingon Empire</A> and the <A href="/wiki/United_Federation_of_Planets" title="United Federation of Planets">United Federation of Planets</A> have ceased wartime hostilities and become galactic allies, while more sinister foes such as the <A href="/wiki/Romulan" title="Romulan">Romulans</A> and the <A href="/wiki/Borg_(Star_Trek)" title="Borg (Star Trek)">Borg</A> take precedence on the series.</P>
<P>The <I>Enterprise</I> is commanded by Captain <A href="/wiki/Jean-Luc_Picard" title="Jean-Luc Picard">Jean-Luc Picard</A> and is staffed by first officer Commander <A href="/wiki/William_Riker" title="William Riker">William Riker</A>, second officer/operations manager <A href="/wiki/Data_(Star_Trek)" title="Data (Star Trek)">Data</A>, security chief <A href="/wiki/Tasha_Yar" title="Tasha Yar">Tasha Yar</A>, ship's counselor <A href="/wiki/Deanna_Troi" title="Deanna Troi">Deanna Troi</A>, <A href="/wiki/Chief_medical_officer" class="mw-redirect" title="Chief medical officer">chief medical officer</A> Dr. <A href="/wiki/Beverly_Crusher" title="Beverly Crusher">Beverly Crusher</A> and her son <A href="/wiki/Wesley_Crusher" title="Wesley Crusher">Wesley Crusher</A>, conn officer Lieutenant <A href="/wiki/Geordi_La_Forge" title="Geordi La Forge">Geordi La Forge</A>, and junior officer Lieutenant <A href="/wiki/Worf" title="Worf">Worf</A>. The death of Lieutenant Yar in the twenty-third episode of the first season (1987-1988) of the series prompts an internal shuffle of personnel, making Worf official chief of security. In season two, La Forge is promoted to chief engineer and <A href="/wiki/Katherine_Pulaski" title="Katherine Pulaski">Katherine Pulaski</A> briefly takes over for Beverly Crusher.</P>
<P>The series begins with the crew of the <I>Enterprise</I>-D put on trial by an omnipotent being known as <A href="/wiki/Q_(Star_Trek)" title="Q (Star Trek)">Q</A>, who became a recurring character. The god-like entity threatens the extinction of mankind for being a race of savages, forcing them to solve a mystery at nearby Farpoint Station to prove their worthiness to be spared. After successfully solving the mystery and avoiding disaster, the crew officially departs on its mission to explore strange new worlds.</P>
<P>Subsequent stories focus on the discovery of new life and sociological and political relationships with alien cultures, as well as exploring the <A href="/wiki/Human_condition" title="Human condition">human condition</A>. Several new species are introduced as recurring antagonists, including the <A href="/wiki/Ferengi" title="Ferengi">Ferengi</A>, the <A href="/wiki/Cardassian" title="Cardassian">Cardassians</A>, and the <A href="/wiki/Borg_(Star_Trek)" title="Borg (Star Trek)">Borg</A>. Throughout their adventures, Picard and his crew are often forced to face and live with the consequences of difficult choices.</P>
<P>The series ended in its seventh season with a two-part episode "All Good Things...", which brought the events of the series full circle to the original confrontation with Q. An interstellar anomaly that threatens all life in the universe forces Picard to leap from his present, past, and future to combat the threat. Picard was successfully able to show to Q that humanity could think outside of the confines of perception and theorize on new possibilities while still being prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the greater good. The series ended with the crew of the <I>Enterprise</I> portrayed as feeling more like a family and paved the way for four consecutive motion pictures that continued the theme and mission of the series.</P>

<P>Before the production of the third season in the summer of 1989, some personnel changes were made. Head writer Maurice Hurley was let go and <A href="/wiki/Michael_Piller" title="Michael Piller">Michael Piller</A> took over for the rest of the series. Creator and executive producer Gene Roddenberry took less of an active role due to his declining health.

Doctor Crusher returned from her off-screen tenure at Starfleet Medical to replace Doctor Pulaski, who had remained a guest star throughout the second season. An additional change was the inclusion of the fanfare that was added to the opening credits of the second season, to the end of the closing credits. <A href="/wiki/Ronald_D._Moore" title="Ronald D.

In January 1995 the new Star Trek TV series Voyager show launched. and the aforementioned Generations movie had hit theaters in November 1994. Even with the loss of the franchise's guide and visionary, Roddenberry, Star Trek: The Next Generation had launched a golden era of new Trek media which would last well into the 21st century. In the finale of Enterprise, over ten years later Frakes and Sirtis reprising their roles as Riker and Deanna appear on television one last time.

<P>There were certain big changes for regular characters, the major one was that Tasha Yar is only in season one, and Wesley left for Starfleet Academy in Season 4. In Season 2 the doctor is Pulaski not Crusher, but Crusher does come back and remains the ship's doctor thereafter (In All Good Things it is revealed she eventually marries Picard and has her own starship command, thus becoming the new Captain Picard, as he retired to tend a vineyard). In many cases the characters, or at least the actors, come back to act in some role on the show. There are many reoccurring characters, some of them have actually more appearances in episodes than Tasha.

<P>Star Trek had a number of story arcs within the larger story, and oftentimes different episodes contributed to two or more different story or character arcs. These could be grouped in different ways, and one way was by the aliens they were interacting with, for example <I>TNG</I> introduced the Borg and the Cardassians. The Klingons and Romulans had been introduced in the original series (1966–69); however, the Klingons were somewhat re-booted with "turtle-head" look, although a <A href="/wiki/Retcon" class="mw-redirect" title="Retcon">retcon</A> was given for this in an <I>Enterprise</I> episode. Another way to group them is by a certain character such as Q or Ro Laren or by a technology like the holo-deck, and there were many other alien encounters (usually funny foreheads, face-paint, or no-body). Often the plot for alien encounters involved some eccentric alien nature that caused tensions, revealed at the end</P>

<P>The original show was shot on high-quality <A href="/wiki/35_mm_film" title="35 mm film">35 mm film</A>, but had to be downscaled before editing and postprocessing to standard '80s and '90s TV resolution (video quality) for broadcast.

To include such footage on <A href="/wiki/Blu-ray" title="Blu-ray">Blu-ray</A>, using only <A href="/wiki/Image_scaling" title="Image scaling">upscaling</A>, would have resulted in a larger but blurred image, so CBS decided to use a more detailed approach to bring the show to high definition.

<P>Star Trek: The Next Generation spawned a lot of media set in its science-fiction vision, which was primarily the 2370s but set in the same universe as first Star Trek TV shows of the 1960s. This included the aforementioned films, computer games, board games, theme parks etc. In the 2010s there was still discussion about a Captain Worf spin-off, the Bridge officer that debuted on TNG and was also featured in the TNG spin-off show Deep Space Nine, which itself had quite a following.<SUP id="cite_ref-79" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-79">[79]</A></SUP></P>
