"TNG" chronicled the voyages of the starship Enterprise-D, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard on its continuing mission of exploration through the Alpha and Beta Quadrants in the 2360s. In that period the Enterprise often found herself in the middle of situation with old enemies (some now friends) such as the Klingons and the Romulans and with new threats including the omnipotent Q, the Ferengi and a threat that would change Star trek forever, the Borg.
In 2007 The Next Generation celebrated its 20th Anniversary.
