Prologue: Discovery
In the year 3190, Captain Micheal Burnham and the USS Discovery successfully achieved first contact with the 10-C, and afterwards, Earth rejoined the Federation.
But in the midst of the chaos brought about by the DMA’s approach towards Earth and Ni’Var, a pod crash lands on Earth, its approach completely concealed…
In the aftermath of the DMA crisis, a group of Starfleet Officers and United Earth military personnel were sweeping one of the impact sites created by the DMA’s gravitational effects whilst moving towards Earth and Ni’Var, searching for any miraculous survivors. One Starfleet officer’s tricorder picked up a single life sign in the nearby rubble. “I got a hit!” The officer called out to their teammates. “In that building.”
The search and rescue team made their way to the building where the life sign was detected. One of the United Earth personnel looked around. “I’m amazed anyone actually survived here.” They commented.
“It could just be a common plant.” A Starfleet Officer responded. “Something extremely resilient.”
The team closed in on the signal, until they all saw a small oval shaped object resting in the rubble. The Officer who picked up the signal pointed their tricorder at the pod. “The signal’s coming from in there.” They reported.
“What is that?” A United Earth officer asked. “It’s definitely not United Earth design.”
Another Starfleet Officer scanned the area with his Tricorder. “According to my readings, the outer temperature of the object is consistent with an object that fell from space approximately 3 days ago.” He said.
“Three days ago…that would be the day the DMA attacked United Earth with those rocks.” A United Earth officer responded.
“Exactly…this thing came with the DMA.” The Starfleet Officer concluded as he cautiously approached the object. Continuously scanning it. “I’m reading a life support system, temperature controls, it must be some kind of stasis pod.” He said.
“Should we open it?” An officer asked.
“We don’t know what’s in there. For all we know, whatever's inside that pod could be breathing something completely incompatible with our own atmosphere. Opening it could mean killing it.” An officer responded.
“We should get it back to Federation Headquarters. Maybe we can learn more about it there.” An officer concluded as he tapped his combadge. “Federation Headquarters, we found something. Lock onto my combadge and transport.” He said as he placed his combadge on the pod, a second later, the pod flashed out of sight.
Space: The final frontier. This is the story of the USS Equestria. A ship fresh out of construction, with a crew fresh from the Academy. Together they will embark on a mission of discovery, and evolution. They will explore a strange new frontier, seek out new life and a new civilization, and boldly go farther than anyone has ever gone.
Above United Earth, in the Science Lab of Federation Headquarters, a middle aged man entered the facility. “Lieutenant, Where are we with this pod?” He asked as he approached the pod sitting on an examination table.
A science officer walked up next to him, also looking at the pod. “We’ve been able to determine that it IS in fact a stasis pod Admiral, and it’s keeping something alive within it.” She said.
“Do we know what IT is?” The Admiral asked.
“No sir.” The science officer responded. “It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. It’s definitely a sapient being, but that’s about all we know so far.”
“Have you determined if it’s safe to open the pod?” The Admiral asked.
“Working on it.” The lieutenant responded. “This pod’s design is unlike anything anyone in the galaxy has ever encountered. For all we know it could be trying to block our scans.”
“You have to find a way to open this can of worms, Lieutenant.” The Admiral responded. “I want to know what’s in there and I want to know if—“
The Admiral was cut off when an alert sounded from a console near the table. The Lieutenant checked it, and smiled. “Admiral, scans indicate that the creature inside the pod breathes the standard atmosphere you and I breathe.” She reported.
“Then it’s safe to open it.” The Admiral responded.
“Yes sir.” The Lieutenant responded as she reached out to the pod’s control panel. “Shall I?”
“By all means.” The Admiral responded.
The Lieutenant nodded and pressed a button on the panel. The pod hissed, before it slowly opened up, allowing the cool mist within to escape and dissipate into the air. Both the admiral and the lieutenant watched as the smoke cleared…to reveal a small baby pastel colored horse-like creature, with its eyes closed.
Both officers stared at the creature for a second, trying to process what they were seeing. “…A horse?” The Admiral asked.
“It…definitely looks like that..but I don’t think it’s from Earth.” The Lieutenant responded. “No earth horse is pastel colored.”
At that moment, the baby in the pod started moving, its big eyes slowly opened to see the Admiral and the Lieutenant. It tilted its head, as if confused. “Goo-goo?” The baby let out.
The Admiral glanced at the Lieutenant, who was speechless. “It’s definitely not earth, earth horses don’t make the equivalent of human baby noises.” She said.
“Find out everything you can about this creature.” The admiral responded. “This is your top priority.” He said as he turned to leave.
With the Admiral gone, the Lieutenant reached out slowly towards the baby. “Hi there.” She cooed at the baby. “Nice to meet you.”
The baby stared at the hand, before slowly reaching out one of its hooves to touch the hand. Although it couldn’t quite reach it. The baby’s eyes glistened and it quivered. The lieutenant responded by quickly, and carefully, reaching in and lifting the baby out of the pod and cradled it in her arms. “Hey. It’s ok.” She cooed. “It’s gonna be ok. We’ll find out where you came from…someday.” She assured the baby.
The baby seemed to understand because it smiled and let out a cute little giggle, which got the Lieutenant giggling. “You definitely are a cutie. I can say that much.” She said as she walked over to another table, activated its crib mode, and set the baby down on it. “There we go. Now, let’s have a closer look shall we?” The Lieutenant asked as she started using her tricorder. A million questions forming in her mind about the small horse-like creature she had just released from stasis.

Very good beginning, this has a lot of great possibilities. Keep up the awesome work!

You're very welcome! :)
interesting story so far
First off. I want to say, "Anyone who says STAR TREK: DISCOVERY isn't really Star Trek ain't fans of Star Trek.
Now that I got that off my chest.
This looks like it's going to a great story. I'm looking forward

THANK YOU!!!!!
GOD it's so damn annoying right? All these stuckup, closeminded, hardcore trekkie POSERS that refuse to accept ANYTHING new?
11521488
Yeah, most likely they are just Kirk's or Shiny Head's fans
