Following the Serenidad Tragedy, the crew of the Enterprise found themselves in completely new situations. Admiral James Kirk and Captain Spock found themselves serving as instructors and deans at Starfleet Academy (all the while being used in some special assignments for Starfleet), while Dr. McCoy briefly served aboard the Reliant with Captain Terrell and Commanders Chekov, Kyle and Beach. Meanwhile, Captain Daniel Michael Williams had a new first officer named Hikaru Sulu, and Uhura found herself in the center seat of the Sadat. Captain Bateson and his ship disappeared while Cadets Saavik, Preston and Bushmiller attended Starfleet Academy. Starfleet itself was overseen by Admiral Harry Morrow. Other members of the crew found themselves serving aboard different starships, some with friends, some with strangers. This hiatus ends with the events in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.
