Cheers for the kudos, guys :)
Ohh, now this is something new; manga and Star Trek! I like this a lot! I can't wait to see how this develops
Actually, Tokyopop published four volumes of
Star Trek: The Manga between 2006 and 2009. The first three was based on
The Original Series (Kirk, Spock, Bones et al), whilst the fourth volume was based on
The Next Generation (Picard, Riker, Data, Worf et al).
I saw some scans of the
TNG volume a while back, and it featured a story where Wesley Crusher (the alleged kid genius son of the ship's doctor) gets caught in a transporter accident that causes him to rematerialize (in no particular order), a girl, a Klingon and an Afro-American. The expressions on the bridge crew's faces after each transformation were priceless XD
Nice, can't wait to see how the Enterprise is portrayed (or whatever ship they are in).
Captain Zhang and co. are assigned to the USS
Odyssey, an
Intrepid-class Long Range Science Vessel and the last of her kind by the time of my fanon series' setting - it just so happens to be the same class of ship as the more-famous
Voyager.
I drew up a Master Systems Display (MSD) for the
Odyssey, and I would love to share it with you guys. But I'm not sure where I would post non-manga art on these boards (or whether I should just PM you guys with the URL).
As for the
Enterprise, because my fanon is based on the official
Star Trek Online MMO continuity, the
Enterprise-F is captained by an Andorian named Va'kel Shon.
The Sec. reminds me of Ensign M'Giia from the old star trek game
Ah,
Starfleet Academy? I went on a YouTube binge one lunchtime watching a playthrough!
Now that you mention it, there are indeed some similarities between M'Giia and my Security Chief (Mirra Shran).
ASIDE: Mirra as Security Chief was a bit of an accident - when I first started playing Star Trek Online, she was one of the default starter Bridge Officers available to new players who completed the tutorial. Later, I was able to recruit other BOffs of the species and genders I wanted, but by then I had grown quite fond of her presence, so I kept her in my crew.
Also, as her surname suggests, one of her ancestors is Commander Thy'lek Shran from the Star Trek: Enterprise TV show.
