Firstly, to those who don't know it, Digi-Trek Koushiro (also known as "DTK") is an online-based comic and fanfiction series that spoofs Digimon and Star Trek and crosses both shows over with one another. The fanfics feature characters from all Digimon seasons, with some Star Trek characters as well, such as Admiral Ross and Weyoun...and occasionally, characters from other shows or books. The major plot developments and storylines are present in the fics.
The comics are mainly centered on small things that don't heavily alter the storyline. They're like filler episodes Stuff may happen, but things are usually brought back to their status quo...USUALLY. Also, due to the limitations and restrictions of altering existing screenshots, I can't really have the characters do specific things that often...unfortunately. So that's why I put the major stuff in the fanfic edition. I have more freedom with text. If only I could draw, then I could let my imagination run wild with all these possibilities for comics.

DTK started out as merely
Digimon screenshots I "Trekkified" when I had nothing else to do. I never
really expected I'd have so
much fun with the concept that it would follow me from 2001 all the way to
2003, and would actually become one of my hobbies! The original pictures
were simple edits of random screenshots, which I basically used to improve
my skills. I had more of the original pictures, but unfortunately, those
didn't get transferred into my new harddrive when I got my new computer, and
some of the originals are out there...lost in space, I guess. Two pictures,
however, DID survive, and while they're in a somewhat mediocre quality,
they're still recognizable.
What I originally intended to do was to have the Digimon cast and people of Crapboardia all be crewmembers on a refitted Excelsior-class starship known as the USS Koushiro. The ship's captain was, and always has been none other than Izzy Izumi from Digimon's second season. From there, the crew roster frequently changed and was extremely confusing. At one point, the ship's engineer was "Lt. Commander Matt Ishida," while at another point, it was "Engineer Ikkakuchan." I also had trouble choosing a first officer for Izzy, switching back from Commander Sora Takenouchi to Lt. Commander Iori Hida. Well, the thing never got off the
For
the rest of 2001, I pretty much avoided DTK, but on occasion, did some stuff
related to it. It wasn't until March 2002, when I uploaded the first DTK
Funny Edition fic (F[BLEEP]-ING WINDOWS 95!!!!) onto FF.net. Shortly, I
uploaded the second episode, then put the fics on hiatus for another five
months. But during those months, though, I made several comics, the first
official one being "Kazu Can't Drive."
In August 2002, I got back into the DTK spirit, and that's when I began making fanfic episodes full-time...and comics...er, whenever I felt like it. But after "Puppet Play," was released, DTK finally got off the ground! I never really expected DTK to go this far, but the series has been going for over a year and shows no signs of stopping! Originally starting off with a small motley crew, over the course of its run, gained more and more characters, which now totals close to, or more than 20! IMO, it's been successful, and it's been fun writing the fics.

(CONTAINS MAJOR
SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE ENTIRE SERIES YET!!!)
In the year 2378...
Three years after the Dominion War, an unnamed Galaxy-class ship that
participated in the Invasion of Cardassia (DS9 - "What You Leave Behind"),
was officially named and re-launched from Starbase 712—the USS Koushiro
NCC-97142. Placed under the command of the stubborn and non-English
intolerant Captain Izzy Izumi, the Koushiro set out to explore new, yet dull
worlds. To seek out boring, singular-celled life, and exploit primitive
civilizations. In short, to break the Prime Directive like no one has broken
it before!
Shortly after the Koushiro's launch, the crew first encountered what would later become the D-Reaper, the Puppets. The crew managed to repel the hijackers and regain control of the ship, but barely succeeded. Only until Ryo came in from the 29th century with advanced weaponry. Thinking that they had seen the last of the Puppets, the crew of the Koushiro set off on another mission. Little did they know that this was only the beginning...
In the year 2379...
In late-2378, the crew of the Koushiro engaged Ken's ship in several skirmishes, successfully destroying the ship in "For Your Ears Only." In that same episode, Ken's Chief of Operations, Mitsuo Yamaki...or just Yamaki, was fired for incompetence, and defected to the Federation. Following Yamaki later on in the episode was Ken's Chief Scientist, Dr. Janyu Wong, and Ken's two Mainframe Controllers, Riley and Tally.
The current situation that the crew is facing is an all-out war between Ken and his modified version of the D-Reaper and Federation forces. Stationed on Deep Space Nine under the command of Admiral William J. Ross (Star Trek: DS9) and Admiral Yolei Inoue (Digimon 02), the crew is the flagship of the armada stationed in the sector to fight Ken, who has set up his Central Command in the Chin'toka System. In "Call To Arms," and "Invasion of the Dominion Corps," the Dominion Vorta Weyoun and his right-hand man, Gul Dukat enter Federation space via a temporal rift and mistake Ken for one of the Founders, the gods of the Dominion. Because of this, Ken has powerful Dominion and Breen forces on his side.
In "O Father, What Art Thou?" Ken recruited a new Chief Scientist, Lieutenant Koji's estranged twin brother, Koichi Kimura.
In "Temporary Diversions," once again the Monster Makers have been reunited. Now hired by Starfleet to begin formulating a plan and weapon with which to combat the D-Reaper threat.
In "O Father, What Art Thou?", a Federation task force led by Admiral Janeway attempted to retake the Chin'toka System from Ken, but was forced to retreat. At the same time, Captain Izzy aboard the USS Kickstarter, and Captain Henry Wok aboard the USS Koushiro, set out for the Briar Patch to destroy a newly-deployed Dominion installation, that turned out to be a ruse and that a Dominion armada was merely stationed there to attract the attention of Federation forces.
And now, our story continues on from here...

The USS Koushiro is a Galaxy-class
starship similar to that of Captain Picard's Enterprise-D (only better). 642
meters long and 42 decks. Equipped with a Windows 95/98/2000 computer
system, cleverly disguised as an LCARS Mark II, with a processing speed
of...er, let's see...can I get back to you on that? Communications systems
include an internal comm system with the transfer rate of 1197 Kiloquads per
second, and a subspace radio with range of 24 light-years.
Armed with 10 phaser arrays and 320 multi-phasic torpedoes (which basically means it can become a photon, quantum or transphasic at the push of a button), and a multipurpose navigational deflector. So far, the deflector has sent out a feedback surge which crippled Ken's ship as well as the Koushiro. It's also been used for the Yuggoth Blaster weapon...and I think for something else too. And last, but not least, the offensive/defensive DigivicerXP multi-seasonal Digivice computer interface adapter. Basically, it lets the Tamers use their modify cards to enhance the ship and the Frontier kids to store the fractal code they collect in the ship's computer database. By connecting their D-Tectors into the ship's navigational deflector, the data is relayed to the ship's computer system, which provides the ship with the ability to spirit evolve with the installation of the Evolver98 Digivolution controller card.
Its defensive
systems include a high-capacity shield grid...which isn't all that great,
compared to the shields of other ships, and the new Devicer NT plot device
regulator, which allows them to choose different devices or other things
that basically get them out of a mess.
The Koushiro has enhanced warp engines, allowing it a cruising speed of Warp
6, and a maximum sustainable speed of Warp 9.747. It can go up to higher
speeds, but it kinda makes the engines unstable, and they'll only be able to
probably fly for about a minute before having to power down. The ship uses a
combination of Isolinear Chips and Bio-Neural Gel Packs...now if only JP
will stop eating them.
All in all, she's just another Galaxy-class in the fleet...but with a really
diverse crew.
