About the edit: This is the crew post-Into Darkness, with the addition of few characters that were never included in the Kelvin timeline but were recurring in the Original Series.
Original publishing date: August 16, 2016.
Chronology of the editings: Edit first modified in
July 2020, to replace a Tumblr fancasting (Gina Torress) with
Discovery/
Strange New Worlds's Number One,
Rebecca Romijn. To me the two shows above are closer to the Reboot than the TOS: Majel Barrett's Number One will always be the only TOS Number One, Rebecca is and will be my AOS Number One.
Edited again in
December 2020 to add two additional characters that I should've never left out the last time, namely
Kyle (the character played by Chris Doohan) and the relief navigator
Darwin.
Just to be known, the initial reason for putting my hands on this edit again was the discovery that, according to
Nichelle Nichols's autobiography, Uhura is "head of Communications", and I wanted to reflect that; contextually, I was working on another
fandom in Star Trek edit in which I had more than one communications officer potentials and I needed to differentiate the "Uhura" of them and the relief/other one.
Another edit (I'm a George Lucas...) in
February 2021, as I noticed that the logo for the UFP I've been using was strictly the TOS/Prime timeline one, and that in AOS it was slightly changed and the colors were switched (blue logo on white, when originally was white on blue). While I were at it, I changed the Enterprise into a composition that I will be able to keep without any change needed in other edits that will feature a constitution class but aren't the Enterprise. I also decided to add Lieutenant 0718 and Lieutenant Moto.
The edit was tweaked again here and there until officially the final version, with the lengthy characters presentations, was released on
December 2021.
One last, and I mean
LAST time (heard me, Hakka??!), in early
March 2022 (published March 06), when I completely revamped the graphic to try to make these edit a bit shorter when there’s a big crew cast (to then discover Tumblr has upped the max height size to 3072 -.-).
Fixed in early
April 2022 to remove the "G." as "Geoffrey" for M'Benga's second name, as Jabilo M'Benga has been canonized in a poster has his name.
Fixed again in early
November 2023 because
Strange New Worlds has canonized "Joseph".
Notes: Most of the non-canon (as in "non specified in the movies") bits for the main characters comes from either the Star Trek movie script, the Star Trek movie app, from the two IDW comics series or official novels, and can easily found on either
Memory Alpha or
Memory Beta. Rest is explained in the "addendum" post (see below).
Notes, additional: Jaylah will definitely be
kidnapped by Jim and the crew offered a position on the Enterprise as soon as she's finished the Academy, although by then the mission should be ended. :(
About the "made up" roles: Liaison Officer, Computer Officer, Armory Officer and Security Chief don't exist in either canon or non-canon Star Trek and were made up by me. See more at
this post.
About assignments, ranks, names and other changes: Since the post was exceeding Livejournal's limits (also, already very long textwall), these have been collected at
this additional post.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I hate Paramount because they stopped to release HQ promo pics. I managed to get my hands on some decent quality Into Darkness promo pics (well, the only ones they did - the ones used for the Empire cover - thanks to the site of an Italian small editor but they were all watermarked. :()
You might recognize Mitchell, M'Benga, Chapel and Rand from manips I already released. I made a brand new Cupcake because he deserves to be there, poor Cuppy; the same for 0178 - although the quality of the latest leaves a lot to be desired. Rachel Nichols is beautiful and "Orionize" blondes is always funny.
Keenser... well, I cheated because he comes from a screencap. :D
My Silver Lady. It was much fun to make her.
