[edit] Summary
The Continuing Mission follows the adventures of the Trieste class, USS Montana NCC 1786 and a crew lead by seven humans and a Betazoid. The premise involves the Montana and her crew’s unexpected transference from the 23rd century, around the time of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, to the 24th century, approximately 5 years prior to the continuity of Star Trek: TNG where they are re-integrated into a very different Starfleet from which they came.[4]
Both the USS Montana and crew are original characters created specifically for this series. Though references to canonical Star Trek names, places, and events appear in the series, the events depicted in the series are not official canon.
