Before Kirk, before Pike, there was Captain Robert April.  Behold the first voyage of the USS Enterprise…

This is the story of the initial launching of the Starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701 under the command of Captain Robert April with his wife, Commander Sarah April, the ship’s first Chief Medical Officer. It’s the story of a starship that needs a Captain, and a Captain that needs a starship.
