27: A Maritime Vibe

Pacific 201.


During the forty years following the cease fire that ended the
Romulan War, mistrust, and a general wariness of the unknown led
humanity to withdraw and turn away from exploration. But as the
children of those who fought in the war grew tired of hiding from
the galaxy, Earth began to regain its confidence and make a new
name for itself. This era was marked by the launch of a new
flagship—the Starship Pacific NCC-201—to embark on a bold mission
towards a mysterious and uncharted region of space. This is the
story of Pacific 201.


In this episode of Continuing Mission, we’re joined by Pacific
201 creator Eric Henry to learn about how the idea first came
about, how it has evolved, and how he hopes to bring a fresh
approach to Star Trek through this hopeful story about the period
between Enterprise and The Original Series.
