The Next Generation
The first Star Trek series created by Paramount(TM).
The Next Generation features the fifth ship of the same name.
The powerful Galaxy class Starship - NCC1701D. Capable of
transporting a thousand humanoids, the Galaxy class Starship
was designed with the idea for providing a homely environment for the
crew.
Nevertheless, despite its mission, it is one of the most powerful ship
in the quadrant, and is often dispatched to settle a conflict.
Captain Jean Luc Picard is perhaps the greatest captain of all time.
