The Shake Down Cruise: Skant Madness by RogueAquarius

Summary
Few ships experienced a more troubled development than the galaxy class. The flagship, the bearer of her name, the Galaxy was lost during testing due to sabotage. Why exactly Jean-Luc Picard wanted the first survivor, why he fought to get the Enterprise, was any admirals guess. They could only wait and see what he'd do now that he had her.
Join the crew of the Enterprise as they navigate the challenges of getting ready for her shake down. From malfunctioning replicators to limited uniform options, chaos abounds.
This version replaces the prior one in order to make the story flow more smoothly and introduce some elements that I came up with a bit late in the game. I hope you enjoy massive changes to family trees, no only child orphans!
Pergola+Wingsproggle started as a very helpful beta reader and has become as good as a co-writer in terms of idea contribution.

Summary
Getting the Enterprise-D ready for launch should be simple: install the systems, train the crew, and boldly go. Instead, the replicators are broken, the uniforms are missing, and half the ship is held together with good intentions and a dwindling supply of good coffee. Between botched updates, karaoke, and new friendships forged under extreme wardrobe conditions, the crew is just trying to survive long enough to actually launch.
This is a revision of the original version that fixes a few issues I ran into. Completed and will be posted regularly.

Summary
The shake down cruise is still underway when Jean-Luc decides to introduce a new training initiative. Exploration and diplomacy is Star Fleets primary mission after all. Getting to watch his officers sweat is just a bonus.
Special thanks as always to Pergola+Wingsproggle for beta reading and generally encouraging me to write.

Summary
His VISOR lets Geordi experience the world in a way he wouldn't have naturally been able to, but its not without its flaws. Still, life goes on as he enjoys new friendships and possibly even a bit more...
Added as ep 3 because I wasn't happy with how quickly I moved things along. I hope everyone enjoys edits as performance art, because I keep figuring out what I don't like only after posting entier stories lately.

Summary
With the shakedown done, the first mission complete, and the crew starting to come together, things are good on the Enterprise D. Cue a derelict satellite where it definitely shouldn't be and a cargo full of the deceased who are soon to be among the temporarily displaced living.
The subplot of The Neutral Zone, cut free and allowed to have a little space.

Summary
Family is important in Betazoid culture but Deanna Troi really could have done with some warning before her mother turned up on the ship, in phase no less. Accomplished diplomat and leader, there is more to Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed than meets the eye. Now if the crew can just manage all of the mischief that seems to follow her.
For those wondering why I chose to place this one so early, I feel that Deanna's family and relationships should have been set up before any kind of arranged marriage plot happened.
