I've had this idea in my head for several years now, refining it up to this point. I wanted to share it with the world.
This first post is the overview of the whole thing, including main character info and short Biographies. More to come soon.
So without further ado...
Star Trek: Atlas
Outline and Character info
Storyline: Two years after Star Trek: Nemesis, the Cardassians are on the rise again, attacking ships and conquering settlements. A new ship, captain, and crew are called upon to counter this threat, while also handling a first-contact and defusing a war between two new races.
Characters:
Nathaniel Taylor Brahms
Allegiance: United Federation of Planets (Starfleet)
Rank (Status): Captain
Race: Romulan (Human Raised)
Age: 26 Human Years.
Ship: USS Atlas - Galaxy Class Oden Refit (aka Galaxy X Class, test subject for Triton warp core project; Heavy Battlecruiser)
Bio: Captain Brahms is the sole survivor of the Romulan colony ship Angelius, destroyed by a Cardassian strike force twenty-four years ago when he was two years old. He was rescued in one of Angelius' escape pods by the USS Lakota in his dead mother's arms, and raised by the Brahms family on Earth. He progressed through school admirably despite racial suspicions and stereotypes, and later joined Starfleet Academy with his friends Ivan Rampley and Jared Crowler at his side. The group was a sort of triad in his view, loyal to each other since their school days. However, when they started at the academy, they drifted apart, and eventually were separated when they got their first postings. Brahms' first posting was the chief science officer on the Sovereign, after the Maelstrom incident when Miguel Diaz resigned the position. Shortly after he was on board the Sovereign for his first time, it was attacked by the one remaining ship of house Arterius, the captain and Commander Saffi Larsen killed in the initial assault. Brahms then took up command and saved the Sovereign, while also destroying the aggressor. This earned him Starfleet's highest Medal of Honor and the promotion to Captain of the Atlas, a position he's proud to have.
Draconis Sky'thonar
Allegiance: Jrekkon Unity Clan
Rank (Status): Battle Chieftain
Race: Jrekkon (Lifespan: 7,000 Human Years)

Bio: Draconis, a young Jrekkon male, is part of his people's Unity Clan, and the son of the late General Nihos Sky'thonar, a famed freedom fighter. He and his family were onboard an unarmed clan transport, the Serenity, when it was attacked by his father's sworn enemy, Emperor Wraitan Zeriah of the Martirio. His father and mother gave their lives to help him and his older brother escape the siege. Later in life, when Draconis got his first command, his brother vanished. Rumors say he was assimilated by the Borg, but the truth is uncertain. He follows in his father's footsteps, defending his race and many other against the Martirio Empire.

Bio: Anasazi is the young, ever-confident, and impatient son of Empeor Wraitan Zeriah. He has grown to despise his father and his ?old ways?, claiming that his leadership has not advanced the empire in two centuries. He is an innovative thinker, and a technical genius, responsible for the design of the empire's most powerful weapon: The Yamato Cannon.
