The [[Star Trek (original series)|original series]] has the mostly-[[human]] crew of the U.S.S. ''Enterprise'' exploring the galaxy and performing various missions for ''Starfleet'', the authority which controls the ship.
These missions may be diplomatic or defensive, particularly in connection with the hostile races, the [[Extraterrestrial life in Star Trek#Klingon|Klingon]]s and the [[Extraterrestrial life in Star Trek#Romulan|Romulan]]s.Joined by Mr. Spock (half-Vulcan- and half-Human) and Dr. McCoy, Capt. James T. Kirk leads the crew of the USS Enterprise on an intergalactic search for new worlds and new civilizations. Cast*[[William Shatner]] as [[Captain Kirk]]*[[Leonard Nimoy]] as [[Spock]]*DeForest Kelley as [[Dr. McCoy]]*James Doohan as [[Scotty]]*[[George Takei]] as [[Sulu]]*Walter Koenig as [[Chekov]]*Nichelle Nichols as [[Uhura]]
=== ''The Next Generation'' ===
The Ferengi were introduced, and were initially meant to be villains. However, as the series went on, they became a more comical foe. A major foe introduced with this series was the [[Borg]], a "collective" of [[drone]]s, beings from various races who were "assimilated" into the collective.
When encountering another spaceship, the Borg would often introduce themselves with the statement "''"We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!''". The "resistance is futile" phrase has since entered popular culture.

''Enterprise'' is set roughly a century prior to ''The Original Series'', at a time when the United Federation of Planets has not yet been formed, and when humans are first starting to travel well beyond Earth, and develop much of the technology that would be common-place in series set later.
The mostly-human crew travel in a ship also named ''Enterprise.'' It is the only series not affected by the events of the Kelvin Timeline ''Star Trek'' films.
=== ''Discovery''===
''Discovery'' is set a decade before the Original Series. It follows a war between the Klingons and the Federation. The crew of the USS Discovery investigate seven mysterious red signals spread across 30,000 lightyears. Michael Burnham herself set all seven red signals. The Red Angel suit was the centerpiece of the Section 31 Daedalus Project and is capable of a giant electromagnetic pulse. Time crystals used to fuel the suit proved hard to procure, but a young Section 31 operative named Leland learns that one such crystal was being sold on the black market near an Orion outpost and managed to steal it. The time crystal was brought to Doctari Alpha, where a scheduled nearby supernova would provide the energy for a test. With the suit on the verge of being tested, the Klingons attacked the outpost after tracking the crystal. The Burnhams, along with young Michael Burnham in 2236 stationed on the outpost by Leland, were believed killed in the attack, which was later described as a Klingon terror raid. Michael Burnham was then raised on Vulcan by Sarek and Amanda Grayson along with foster brothers Spock and Sybok and was the first Human to ever attend the Vulcan Learning Center.  The story of Discovery follows female 23rd century Human Starfleet officer Michael Burnham, Jr. As a commander, she served as the first officer aboard the USS Shenzhou in 2256 who is then stripped of rank and sentenced to life imprisonment for mutiny, but she gained a second chance when she was assigned to the USS Discovery as a specialist. In collaboration with Tilly and Paul Stamets, Burnham discovered the tardigrade's connection to the mycelial network, which enabled the full utilization of a spore drive in order to stop the Klingon attack on Corvan II.  Control, Section 31's threat assessment system relying on artificial intelligence would ultimately betray Starfleet and massacre the crew of Section 31 Headquarters later possessing Leland who tries to kill Burnham and her team. Control was finally dismantled and neutralized, and the USS Discovery traveled 930 years into the future to prevent it from reasserting itself.
===''Picard''===
''Picard'' is set near the end of the 24th century, about 20 years after the events of ''Star Trek Nemesis.'' Jean-Luc Picard, who had been promoted to Admiral in the years since ''Nemesis,'' is now retired and running his family's vineyard in France. However, when a young woman named Dahj Asha comes to ask for his help, he returns to Starfleet to ask for help, but doesnt get their suppport.  Picard finds reason to believe Dahj is connected to former android Data and feels compelled to help her, but while visiting Starfleet headquarters for support, she is killed by a mysterious force outside the facility.  On an abandoned Borg cube known as the Artifact, Soji Asha (an apparent twin sister of Dahj) works for a Borg Reclamation Project, which is an independent organization operating at this Romulan run Reclamation Site. It was overseen by an executive director, which in 2399 was Hugh, himself a former Borg drone, rescued by Picards Enterprise years ago in Star Trek: The Next Generation.  Without Starfleet's support, Picard is left to recruit a crew of his own: Human cyberneticist Dr. Agnes Jurati, who worked at the Daystrom Institute was recruited out of Starfleet by Bruce Maddox to aid him in his android research. Jurati subsequently appeared at Château Picard in the midst of an attack by Romulan assassins and joins Picard for his mission. Estranged former colleague Raffi Musiker, who once served in Starfleet under Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, helped formulate a new plan to evacuate Romulans from the Romulan supernova after the 2385 Attack on Mars destroyed the Romulan rescue armada pilot. Musiker described her life after Starfleet as "one long slide into humiliation and rage". By 2399, she lived alone in a small house at Vasquez Rocks [[California]] where Picard comes to recruit her for his misson. Cristóbal Rios, former Starfleet commander and first officer of the USS ibn Majid, is recruited by Picard after Picard learns that Rios had become acquainted with Raffi Musiker who says she knows this pilot with his own starship called the La Sirena. Rios, serving with his fully utilized Emergency Hologram basic installation, each of which was programmed in his own image agrees to Picard's terms to aid him in his search for Bruce Maddox. The young Qowat Milat-trained martial artist Elnor, and a rescued Fenris Ranger Seven of Nine also join Picard and his team, aboard the civilian freighter La Sirena to track Bruce Maddox to Freecloud, believed to be key to finding and protecting Soji. Their fight to protect Soji takes them to the Artifact, Nepenthe, and Coppelius, where Picard and his crew come head to head with the mysterious forces threatening Soji and other forces threatening the galaxy.  ===''Lower Decks''===''Lower Decks'' is the second series to be entirely animated, after Star Trek: The Animated Series, with episodes running half an hour. The show takes place aboard the California-class USS Cerritos on the "lower decks". The show's time period is described as the The Next Generation era, more specifically 2380, after Star Trek Nemesis. The series follows the support crew of Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, and Tendi on the lower decks and their contributions, often comically, to help the the command crew of the USS Cerritos.  The support crew serving on one of Starfleet's least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, have to keep up with their duties, even when distracted by their endeavors to rarely go where no one has gone before. Yet often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. Ensign Boimler, who is supposed to be on shore leave, is discovered by Ensign Mariner in a storage closet pretending to do a captains log when she tries to pry the PADD out of his hands to listen to it as an example of their friendship and uncharismatic moments as the grow as officers in Starfleet.

Twelve ''Star Trek'' movies have been produced. ''Star Trek I-VI'' follow the original cast after the events of the original series. ''Star Trek: Generations'' to ''Star Trek: Nemesis'' follow the cast of ''The Next Generation'' (although ''Generations'' featured William Shatner, James Doohan and Walter Koenig). ''Star Trek'', ''Star Trek Into Darkness'', and ''Star Trek Beyond'' act as reboots and prequels to the original series. The films are referred to as "The Kelvin Timeline."<ref>http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2016/06/27/bye-bye-abramsverse-alternate-star-trek-timeline-gets-official-name/</ref> They are also more action-oriented, and are said by many to be similar to ''Star Wars'' in that sense. They also act as sequels, as an older version of Spock appears in both films, coming from the year 2387, eight years after the events of ''Star Trek: Nemesis.''
