CREATED BY BRANDON GRASMICK
BASED ON "STAR TREK" CREATED BY GENE RODDENBERRY
'Star Trek Sovereign' began as an idea in the summer of 1998 when I began thinking about writing my own Star Trek series. I liked the new Enterprise-E first seen in 'Star Trek First Contact,' so I deceided to base my Trek series on a ship of that type. Of course, it couldn't be the Enterprise-E, so that left one option, its prototype. The Enterprise-E is a Sovereign-class starship, so I decided to base my series on the starship USS Sovereign NCC-74222.
I ended up writing my first episode in the creative writing class I took at school, but I then made several changes to my characters, so episode one was re-written.
Please scroll down to view a list of the current main characters, as well as to find links to the episodes.
Chief Engineer: Lieutenant Commander Aaron Peterson (Peterson is named after a friend of mine from school)
Tactical Officer" Lieutenant Commander Samuel 'Tac' Wilson (Tac is a friend of Captain Grasmick's from the Academy)
Chief Medical Officer: Lieutenant Commander Morgan 'Mo' Edwards
Ship's Counselor: Lieutenant Commander Anne Hathaway (Hathaway is named after William Shakespeare's wife. I was at a loss to what to name the character, and I think I got the inspiration to do so from the USS Hathaway entry in the Star Trek Encyclopedia)
Helm Officer (CONN): Ensign Emony Tobin (Tobin, a Trill, has a similar relationship with Captain Grasmick that Dax and Sisko have on ST: DS9)
Recurring Characters:
Fleet Admiral Robert Bennett
