The episodes follow the adventures of the crew of the Galaxy-class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D.[6] As the United Federation of Planets flagship, the Enterprise is designed for both exploration and diplomacy but is capable of battle when necessary.[6]
Patrick Stewart's voiceover during each episode's opening credits was patterned after that of the original series, but the gender-neutral phrase "no one" replaces Star Trek's "no man". The Enterprise's crew contact and discover many races and species with whom they interact as a means for exploring the "human" condition.[6] Dramatic devices such as time travel or temporal loops, natural disasters, holodeck malfunctions, and other internal and external conflicts often occur without alien encounters, though these, too, are used to explore issues of humanity.
