Chronology

“Star Trek: Lower Decks” focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s smaller ships, the USS Cerritos, in the year 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi must continue to carry out their duties and social lives, often while the ship is rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. The ship’s deck crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shaxs and Doctor T’Ana. It is the second animated spin-off in the franchise after 1973-1974’s “Star Trek: The Animated Series,” but it has a decidedly more adult tone and humor.
