TV Show Idea

Conectp: TV show based on Course Books IP, set during the Kamian Succession Wars and taking place aboard a decrepid patrol ship on the ass-end of the war.

The Ship

C.B.S. Antikythera is a thirty-year-old derelict, being re-comissioned as a scout ship/patrol vessel(note, the later determine that the ship was never formally commissioned, so there's a running joke anytime someone says it got "re-commissioned"). The ship is also a super-protoype for a new class of destroyer that never went into production. So, while the ship may be 30 years old, most of it's systems contain technology that hasn't yet been implemented, or is only just being built into the latest line of starships.

Antikythera's complete backstory: the ship was brought, half finished, to the region to undergo a series of highly controlled tests during it's final fitting-out stage. The ship was then forced to participate in a battle long before it was ready. The prototype was so heavily damaged that the project was abandoned. The ship saw a very limited service-life as a patrol vessel(after being patched up just enough to serve in this capacity) and was finally abandoned for close to thirty years.

Characters

Captain

The hero of the story, whom I shall call "Lance Stardock" for lack of a better name, is a disgraced Admiral Commodore who's been given this assignment to embarass and humiliate him. His career is in shambles, but he's an eternal optimist and really, really, really good at his job. Everyone will be calling him "captain" but he still technically holds the rank of Admiral Commodore(which also makes him the highest ranking officer for thousands of light years).

The exact nature of his disgrace is not originally known but is widely speculated.
