Cover of omnibus 1, Have Tech, Will Travel
Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers (or Star Trek: SCE) is a novel series which follows a rapid-response team of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. First released as eBooks by Pocket Books, the books are also collected in paperback. It was conceived and created by Keith R.A. DeCandido and John Ordover.
In September 2005, DeCandido announced that, as from #67, the series would be renamed Star Trek: Corps of Engineers and the numbering reset, in an attempt to bring new readers to the line. In addition, the reprints in hardcopy - starting with "Aftermath" - would be in trade paperback format, allowing 6-8 eBooks to be included per volume. The number of eBooks published per year would be reduced from twelve to six, to allow other ranges to be developed.
Premise
As with the US Military of the 20th century, there has always been a Corps of Engineers – a group who builds bridges, fixes machines, and solves engineering problems. In Star Trek, this group solves engineering problems in space that are too complicated, or take too much time, for a larger starship crew to handle. When the Enterprise-E disables a deserted alien battlestation, for example, it is the SCE that comes to investigate it.
This series centers on the crew of the USS da Vinci, a Saber-class ship that serves as the transportation of an S.C.E. team. The SCE reports to Captain Montgomery Scott (of the original Star Trek), who serves as their liaison with Starfleet Command and also pitches in when his vast store of knowledge can be of help.
