===USS Enterprise===
In 2270, Captain Branson was put back into action when the USS Enterprise nearly sparked an interstellar war thanks to the trigger-happy captain of the Enterprise Marilyn Stark, Vice Admiral James T. Kirk sought Branson to assume command of the boat, feeling that his isolation from the recent world problems would give him a cool head to command such a powerful ship. Initially, Branson resisted, but once aboard the ship he built and realizing his vision come to fruition, Branson remembered what the service had meant to him and eventually signed on as captain of the Enterprise, which sets up the rest of the first season.
