Lets put a exploration fleet on the show, yes a fleet.
The fleet has all the support ships a modern fleet has!
Voyager, Enterprise and DS9 are non-canon!
And the flagship of my fleet is the NCC - 7705 USS CLANCY, named for an old Federation President...
Its motley crew of lunatics will have...
Captain Charles Woodmansey, a man with mild OCD everything has to be right for him
1st officer Sarah Ronson, a female first officer who spends her time as a SM master on the holodeck, torturing her holo-slaves
Engineer Lt. Commander Gary Bolder, an extremely racist man with a massive temper, a genius engineer though...
The Doctor will be Michael Barret, a nice man with a nasty drug habit. (something similar to amphetamines)
Navigator - Joshua Roberts the only well adjusted person on the ship
Thers more, but basically everyone is messed up...
