EX ASTRIS, SPES

This is my first sci-fi genre writing attempt. I want to call this an AU fiction, but comes from an in-universe place. This story follows the captain & crew of the USS Wyvern (NCE-81577). A modified Intrepid class ship, which had received extensive damage during the Dominion War. The feeling I'm going for is more like ENT era, where it's more common to land the ship or use shuttles, where beaming technology is seldom used, where families are not on board, and where the UFP & Starfleet are familiar, but less of a DEI nightmare and a pushover to adversarial groups.
I grew up enjoying sci-fi, my personal favorite Trek series so far is Voyager. I cannot take TOS seriously, but I liked movies 4,6,7,8,9&10. Kirk is a cool character but really dislike Picard. I am not upset by JJ trek. I found TNG + SNW are good and bad, I enjoyed ENT & DS9. If by some miracle you're still here (well done!) I hope you can enjoy this
