Write Episodes for Star Trek Redstone
If you would like to write an episode for Star Trek Redstone, you have to know a bit about the show.
Well below it will tell you the overall series idea and the character mini-biographies.
Series Premise
The main idea for the series is that the Iconians from TNG are back.
A race from the Beta Quadrent(behind Romulan and Klingon space) called the Nilatonans have found an abundance of Iconian technology on one of their moons and for over 100 years have been trying to work out how to use it.
Similar to a race of "Hitler's", the Nilatonans keep the less technically advanced races in slave labor camps to do their work and deconstruct the Iconian Devices.
The Federation finds out about this when a series of Destoyed Romulan Ships starts to drift accross the Neutral Zone into Federation Space. The USS Redstone finds chaos inside the Romulan ships and discovers that the dammage was caused by some kind of translocating technology.
They later find out that the Nilatonans have discovered how to repair an Iconian Gate and are experimenting with translocating people. But they havn't perfected it yet and thats why Romulan ships were found with dead crew and no power.
The Federation Contacts the Romulan Government and offers assistance.
Skipping to the end of the story, the Romulans finnaly agree to let the Federation do stuff in the Beta Quadrent to stop the Nilatonans from Completing and using Iconian technology to enslave other races and taking over.
But in exchange for what the Redstone does for the Romulan Government, the Romulans have given the Redstone a Cloaking device and a Romulan Officer to help them do their thing.
