The Bridge Crew of the U.S.S. Eridani

Heyyyy so I officially published the first chapter of my Trek fic!!! Here’s the description:

In which an away mission goes wrong, and a new helmsman is needed for the U.S.S. Enterprise: one Gary Mitchell, former…friend of one James Tiberius Kirk.

Kirk is desperately trying to keep his past hidden and maintain his image in front of his crew, but recent events are bringing everything he’s been pushing down closer and closer to the surface.

Meanwhile, Spock is suspicious of this new crew member and…perturbed as he realizes he may not know Kirk as well as he thought he did after everything they’d been through over the years.

The universe has never been kind to James T. Kirk. (But could it be, in the end?)

Check it out if you want I will include artwork for the second chapter and beyond ^-^

Dr. Joanna Eleonora McCoy, Chief Medical Officer

Daughter of Dr. Leonard Horatio McCoy and Jocelyn McCoy, née Hall, was born on January 7, 2257. In her early life, she lived on the planet Centaurus, an Earth colony orbiting Alpha Centauri. She and her family were there in 2259 when the planet experienced a crop failure and the entire population was threatened by starvation; fortunately, philanthropist Carter Winston's intervention prevented the worst. While she was a toddler at the time, both of her parents repeated that story to her very often, and this selflessness inspired Joanna in her career. When she was four, her parent’s relationship, which was already fraught, broke apart in a messy divorce, partly due to her father’s job taking him off planet often, and her mother’s growing discontent with their relationship and her longing for a former sweetheart of hers. While they tried to shield her from it as best as they could by sending her often to stay over at her aunt and uncle Donna and Fred Withers, she still witnessed many arguments and was disheartened by the repetitive fights and the pressure to have to “pick a side”, even if her parents never asked her such a thing.

Deciding on a compromise, Joanna would stay for a few weeks with her mother on Centaurus, then a few weeks with her father on Earth, as he decided to return to live in Georgia to practice medicine. During these shuttle flights, Joanna fell in love with the vastness of space, seeing it as more of a bridge between her family than a dark, unknown dangerous thing as her father did. Additionally, these constant transitions made it hard for her to ever feel rooted and at home somewhere, except in space, which influenced her choice to pursue a Starfleet career.

Eventually, her father got a starfleet commission, and as such the visitation time was more stretched out, but she never lost contact with him. When he joined the crew of the Enterprise as CMO, Joanna often exchanged messages and video calls with her father. During that time, she continued her schooling on Centaurus and did her pre-med there, until 2278, when she decided to return to Earth for medical school at the University of Mississippi, of which Leonard McCoy was an alumni.

Being a young woman with her first real taste of freedom, she had a few situationships, namely with a woman named Marianne, with whom she believed she had a serious relationship, but it wasn't reciprocated.

In 2282, while already having gone through medical school, she decided to join Starfleet medical to take additional xenomedicine and xenobiology classes, as well as earning her qualification for space service and a Starfleet commission. It was where she first met Saavik, then a first year cadet who got herself injured in a less-than-fair boxing match with a jealous player of a rival baseball team while Joanna was volunteering as a medic on duty at the Academy Gym. During that period, she also dated Malcom Erikson, then an Academy upperclassman who had to retake a few fitness tests and classes to be allowed his full commission as an officer. Joanna’s time at the academy in San Francisco brought her closer with her father, partly because it allowed her to spend time with him regularly for the first time since he began serving when she was 12.

She then served on Luna base and on Mars as a doctor, then on Deep Space 2 from 2284 to 2290, before requesting to start working on ships, namely the U.S.S Carpenter until 2296, when newly appointed Captain Saavik made a request to have her as her CMO on the U.S.S Eridani.

Joanna’s father was nervous about her joining the fleet and very scared of her first long space deployment with the Eridani, and has always been wary of her joining Starfleet, considering his own dangerous experiences in space.

A shrewd doctor and surgeon, she inherited the fierce protectiveness of her father, and is known to have a temper when under pressure. She also is a very trusting person, being far less skeptical than her father, with a very loving and generous personality, and that has caused her to be burned one time too many in her romantic relationships. Despite that, her kindness remained, and her bedside manner was appreciated by many crewmembers, until she began berating them for their carelessness in the field.

Ensign Terrance Riley, tactical department 

Son of Kevin and Niamh Riley, Terrance Riley was born in 2274 in San Francisco, but spent most of his summers in Donegal when he was growing up. As a teen and even a young adult, he was a bit embarrassed by his father’s big personality, but grew to be more accepting of his heritage and family. 

During his time at the Academy, he often was Sopek’s “human studies club” fact checker, not by will but rather due to the Vulcan’s insistence. A meek and mild mannered boy, he tended to be pushed around easily. Despite a certain annoyance with Sopek’s attitude, the Vulcan also defended him from bigger bullies in the optic of “conserving the club’s fact checker”, which created a certain respect between the two. His demeanor came in great part from growing up learning not to complain about things and not asking for help, as he has many siblings. His interactions with Sopek inadvertently taught him to stand up for himself. 

As a tactical officer, he was a very quick thinker, and easily came up with strategies on the spot. Captain Saavik often liked to hear his ideas in times of crisis. 

He became an ensign in the tactical department at 22 years old on the Eridani for the ship’s five year mission in 2296.

Hey sooo What If I made a spirk fanfic (and included artwork) where I blended aos into tos in which the tragic death of Chekov leads to a new helmsman being transferred to the ship: one Gary Mitchell, former…friend of Captain Kirk’s. Events lead into tos “where no man has gone before” and later, some “conscience of the king” references (tarsus iv). Kirk is desperately trying to keep his past hidden and maintain his image in front of his crew, but these events are bringing everything he’s been pushing down closer and closer to the surface. Meanwhile, Spock is suspicious of this new crew member and…perturbed as he realizes he may not know Kirk as well as he thought he did after everything (Narada incident, Into Darkness, Beyond) they’d been through over the years.

Thoughts???
