Summary
A newly commissioned Forge-Class starship, the U.S.S. Craftsmen, sets out on its early missions under the command of Captain Ransom and a handpicked crew including Boimler, Rutherford, and Tendi. Designed for engineering-heavy assignments, the Craftsmen is equipped with experimental propulsion systems and enhanced infrastructure capabilities.
Early voyages test both the ship and the crew beyond what they expected, leading to unforeseen challenges that threaten their confidence, safety, and future.
As the crew recovers from these trials, they begin new missions—ranging from cargo retrieval to critical construction assignments—that allow them to regain their sense of purpose. New faces join the team, each bringing a unique past and perspective. While some bond through old traditions and shared interests, others face inner conflicts tied to identity, duty, and past lives.
Throughout it all, the crew of the Craftsmen must navigate the balance between Starfleet ideals and the hard choices demanded by real-world crises. Their journey is one of healing, growth, and rediscovery—both of themselves and of what it means to wear the uniform.
