The Ship

The Species

The Worlds

The Tech


When the Trouble was commissioned, and Shimbo promoted to captain (“much against my better judgement”), the decision was quickly taken that as much of the crew as possible not be the usual humanoid “upright bipeds” that the Federation had theretofore favored (possibly due to the far smaller size of the Federation at that time). It was felt by the Captain, and Starfleet, knowing better than to try to argue, felt that a research ship could accomplish a far greater amount of valuable research with multiple different sensoria and viewpoints putting their oars in. The Trouble is truly a multi-species ship, carrying a wide variety of species, both as crewmembers and as guests. The ship can easily accommodate both land-based and aquatic creatures as well as flying ones, and the crew is always on the lookout for someone else new and interesting to add to the complement.
