Welcome back to the beginning. The United Space Ship Enterprise is dispatched on its first mission under the command of Captain Christopher Pike. What should be a routine supply drop to a federation colony turns out to be a complete mystery involving turn of the century architecture, unsanctioned alien first contact, a destroyed starship and technology never encountered. Pike and his crew must navigate through the deceptions of colonial Governor Cyril Vessey, to discover the secret behind the planet's enhancements and what threats his new alliance may pose on the galaxy. Maiden Voyage is a character vs. technology conflict with a voyage and return archetypal narrative arc. Replete with all new characters, greatly expanded central characters, and a beefed-up security force, the story revives the magical elements and social commentary of the original series. It is nostalgia at its finest. Maiden Voyage takes place in the year 2250, fifteen years prior to the original series and four years prior to The Cage. A slightly different take on Joseph Campbell's monomyth, these heroes evolve from the crew members surrounding the protagonist, Captain Christopher Pike. Through him, they are afforded opportunities to seize the sword. He is more than a mentor. Pike is an active participant in their journeys. Together the characters are greater than the sum of all parts.
