Ensigns Andy Kelso and Miki Sakura, recent graduates of USS Kepler Dawn's space academy, demonstrate their talents and rise to high levels of command on earth's first colonial star ship.  They save it from mutinous colonials, make first contact with an alien species, and help the colony become firmly established in the face of an attack by another predatory space traveling species.
