STAR TREK has its roots in the 1968 World Science Fiction Convention, where Gene Roddenberry declared he would make a film prequel to Star Trek. The concept would not be heard until the late 1980s, between Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. David Loughery wrote a script entitled The Academy Years, but it was shelved due to objections from the original cast and the fan base. Finally in 2005, after the failure of Star Trek: Nemesis and the cancellation of Enterprise, development got underway. Another novel treatment of the beginnings of Kirks command of the Enterprise was described in the novel Enterprise: The First Adventure by Vonda N. McIntyre which was based upon a Star Trek movie script that was to be used if a contract could not be reached with the original cast after the first set of movies were made.
