'Star Trek Sovereign' began as an idea in the summer of 1998 when I began thinking about writing my own Star Trek series. I liked the new Enterprise-E first seen in 'Star Trek First Contact,' so I deceided to base my Trek series on a ship of that type. Of course, it couldn't be the Enterprise-E, so that left one option, its prototype. The Enterprise-E is a Sovereign-class starship, so I decided to base my series on the starship USS Sovereign NCC-74222.

I ended up writing my first episode in the creative writing class I took at school, but I then made several changes to my characters, so episode one was re-written.
