Introduction
Dorothy "D.C." Fontana, the writer from the original Star Trek TV series, is joined by partner Derek Chester (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) for The Enterprise Experiment, an all-new series set in the unexplored fourth year of the U.S.S. Enterprise's legendary five-year mission. The Enterprise Experiment is a sequel to the classic episode "The Enterprise Incident" - originally written by Fontana herself - where Kirk and Spock found themselves trapped on an Enterprise out of phase with space itself and facing a plot of revenge from the Romulans!
