Starship Edsel: An Improvised Star Trek Satire

Starship Edsel is an improvised farce set aboard Stafleet’s worst vessel, the USS Edsel. Plagued with mechanical problems and design flaws, and filled with Starfleet’s most problematic personnel, the Edsel was assigned to remain in parking orbit above a vacation planet, ordered to give VIP’s tours of an “authentic Federation Starship.” After an incursion by the Romulan Empire, the Edsel was thrust into the center of a galactic crisis. Starship Edsel follows the ship and her crew on their subsequent misadventures around the galaxy.
