-->--'''Eric, starting off the show.'''

''Shield of Tomorrow'' is a tabletop gaming-based web series hosted by Creator/GeekAndSundry. It is a Franchise/StarTrek RPG starting approximately around late-Season 3 of Deep Space Nine.

The story focuses on the bridge crew of the U.S.S. Sally Ride, an Intrepid Class Starship designed for deep space exploration and scientific discovery. The story deals with the impact of the battle of Wolf 359 on Starfleet as well as the looming threat the Dominion poses.


!!The Bridge Crew is made up of the following:

* Hector Navarro as [[TheLeader Captain Rafael Martinez]], recently promoted Human Captain of the SS Sally Ride.
* Sam De Leve as [[NumberTwo Commander Junil Rue]], XO/Tactical Officer and Joined Trill.
* Aliza Uhleezuh Pearl as [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist Lt Cmdr T’Lan]], the [[TheSpock Vulcan]] Science Officer.
* Amy Dallen as [[TheMedic Lt. Throlo Sh’shirros]], the Andorian Chief Medical Officer.
* Bonnie Gordon as [[AcePilot Ensign Lark Sage]], the Bajoran helmswoman.

And Eric C. Campbell as our GM. The show is on [[Creator/GeekAndSundry Geek and Sundry’s]] Twitch channel every Wednesday at 9:30pm PST.

----
!! This show contains examples of the following:
* AscendedFanboy: In-Universe, Captain Rafael Martinez, who idolizes Kirk, has risen up to the rank of Captain himself.
* BadassBeard: Lt. Cmdr. Zhiv is an older Tellarite with what Eric calls a “Fuck-Off Beard.”
* BeleagueredBureaucrat: Most of the higher-ups on Starbase 138 are stretched pretty thin.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each player in the game wears the appropriate colored uniform (or at least appropriate colors) of their station on the ship.
* CommandRoster: As is standard for all Franchise/StarTrek crews:
** TheLeader: Captain Rafael Martinez.
** NumberTwo: Commander Junil Rue.
** The Scientist: Lt. Cmdr. T’Lan.
** TheMedic: Lt. Throlo Sh’shirros.
** The Pilot: Ensign Lark Sage.
** MrFixit: Lt. Cmdr. Veth Zhiv.
* CommunicationsOfficer: Ensign Lark Sage takes over comm transmission
* ContinuityCameo: [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager Ensign Kim]] pops up in Lark Sage’s backstory, as well as [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager The Doctor]] when Lt. Throlo goes to assist the medical staff of Starbase 138.
* DistressCall: The crew intercepts a call in Episode 1.
* {{HUD}}: The Twitch stream’s overlay reveal it can change when it switches to [[spoiler:Yellow Alert as the USS Sally Ride approaches Citrine 7]] towards the end of Episode 1.
* KickedUpstairs: Lt. Cmdr. Zhiv certainly considers his reassignment to be a much better, despite the implication that the ones responsible for his reassignment were just trying to get rid of him.
* TheSpock: Lieutenant Commander T’lan, fittingly enough. When the ambassador at the Betazoid Embassy briefly relates his suspicions that he was intentionally placed on the under-staffed unfinished Starbase 138, T’lan’s response is to encourage him to “seek the logic.”
* ShellShockedVeteran: Dod Voslo, Commander Rue’s old crewmate is still quite shaken from whatever happened to their last ship, quite likely the Battle of Wolf 359. It remains to be seen whether this applies to Commander Rue themselves.
* TastesLikeFeet: The malfunctioning Replicators aboard Starbase 138 are noted by Ensign Lark and Captain Martinez to be ‘very’ off, having “a hint of grass” to their taste.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Nobody in the universe loves cream soda as much as Ensign Lark Sage.
