Enterprise "Contact Team" memo - 1986 (podcast)

Real world article
(written from a production point of view)

Summary

You can't always risk the life of the Captain of the Enterprise. That was the thought that inspired the "contact team" when playing the concept for Star Trek: The Next Generation. What was envisioned as a kind of SWAT for Starfleet didn't materialize then, but they may have had a life by the time Enterprise took flight. Thomas Marrone joins The Trek Files again to discuss an early TNG development document.
