Series Synopsis
Origins follows the adventures of the USS Devonshire under command of Captain Marcus Stone, a recently promoted security officer who mistakenly crosses swords with Captain James T. Kirk by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Origins is set immediately after the return of the Enterprise from it's first 5 year mission and chronicles a relatively unknown period in the history of Starfleet, providing some possible answers to some of the fan's burning questions such as why the penguin greys? why?
When a certain Captain get's kicked into the admialty as a direct result of Stone meddling in affairs, revenge is plotted in the form of a promotion. Kirk's induction as an Admiral includes a certain project to refit the existing constitution class cruisers of the era to ships more capable of taking on the new Klingon K'T'inga class of ship. In with this little pet project, Kirk discovers the Devonshire, slated as a target for wargames, and decides to get rid of all the problems in one hit. Hence Stone gets the Devonshire and all the misfits in the fledgeling fleet get somewhere nice and cosy to call home.... Well, it nearly worked!
