Chronology
Star Trek: Lower Decks focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the USS Cerritos, in the year 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi must juggle their duties and social lives, often while the ship is rocked by a variety of science fiction anomalies. The ship’s bridge crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shaxs and Doctor T’Ana. This is the second animated spin-off in the series, following 1973-74’s Star Trek: The Animated Series, but has a decidedly more adult tone and humor.
