While watching more tutorials for Captain’s Log, I was able to review my original first mission (which may become the second mission) and came up with a bunch of crew members as NPCs.

Interesting that Illyrians are listed as Enterprise-era species, which I suppose makes sense, given Strange New Worlds takes place before The Original Series-era.

And I’m considering the original mission as the second mission because I’m going to take a suggestion from a couple of Solo RPG tutorial videos, and start In Media Res, a time honored story telling method used in so many of my favorite movies (Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai).

In medias res is a Latin phrase that means “in the middle of things”. It’s a literary device used to describe a narrative that begins in the middle of the plot, rather than at the beginning. 

I tried using CoPilot to create a crew photo, but I can’t get it to use the Enterprise-era uniforms.

These were the best two.

The AI apparently doesn’t know what an Andorian, Aenar or Denobulan looks like.

Don’t touch that dial!
