Scenario
Star Trek: Lower Decks focuses on a support crew working aboard the USS Cerritos, one of Starfleet’s less important ships, in the year 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, and Tandy must juggle their duties and social lives, often while the ship is riddled with a host of science fiction anomalies. The ship’s bridge crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shax, and Doctor T’Ana. It is the second animated installment in the franchise, following the 1973–1974 Star Trek: The Animated Series, but has a more adult tone and humor.
