Synopsis
“Star Trek: Lower Decks” focuses on a support team serving on one of the Fleet’s least important ships, the USS Cerritos, in the year 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Beumler, Rutherford and Tandy must continue to perform their duties and lead public lives, often while the ship is rocked by a series of science fiction anomalies. The ship’s deck crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shax and Dr. T’An. This is the second animated spin-off in the franchise after “Star Trek: The Animated Series”; 1973-74, but it has a decidedly more mature tone and humor.
