As for the wide-eyed teenager on board... don't make her a promising Star Fleet Academy candidate, make her a space port brat, or better yet an Academy drop out.  That way when one of her former classmates shows up aboard the Sovereign, she can talk him into risking her career by breaking the crew out of custody and beaming them back to their ship. You'll thank me for it.You're also gonna need a Ron Perlman Look-Alike to play the crew's Strong Hero. He's your version of Jane, and is always ready to test his skull against the recurring Klingon raider NPC. Your pilot can be as flawed and awful as you like. So what if he drinks a little, all that erratic flying is the equivalent of "evasive manuvers!"</blockquote>
