The series was planned to have included William Shatner and DeForest Kelley reprising their roles as James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy. Conspicuous by his absence was the character Spock.
The series would have included several new characters, such as Commander Decker, Ilia, and the Vulcan Lieutenant Xon.
Eventually, plans for a series were cancelled in favor of a movie - Star Trek: The Motion Picture[?] - in which all of the characters made an appearance (however briefly). In the movie, Decker and Ilia appearred as major characters throughout the movie. Lieutenant Xon appeared only for a few minutes and had a few lines of dialogue before being killed in a transporter accident.
Several scripts for the series were used in early seasons of "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
