Summary[]

The Starfleet vessel USS Enterprise sets out on a five-year mission to explore new worlds and seek out new lifeforms in the Alpha Quadrant of the Galaxy. Under the command of Human Captain James T. Kirk and the Vulcan Spock, the Enterprise comes across many strange lifeforms in the first year of its mission – including shapeshifters, androids, and even more bizarre creatures. Elsewhere, there are run-ins with several prominent species, including the warrior race of the Klingons, the Romulan Star Empire, and the Gorn.

The rest of the crew develop close bonds on the long journey, and even as each one experiences the joys of the brave new world of space, they all experience grief and sacrifices. Amongst those who grow close as part of the senior staff are one of the ship's nurses, Christine Chapel, the ship's doctor Leonard McCoy, Kirk's yeoman Janice Rand, helmsman Hikaru Sulu and communications officer Uhura.
