The Trial of Admiral Henry McDonald

In a highly public trial, Admiral Henry McDonald is charged by the Federation Council for disobeying orders and stealing and destroying the U.S.S. Potemkin during a rescue mission to save the Power Rangers! In light of his heroic efforts in saving the Federation from Bad Vader, only the charge of disobeying a superior officer is not waived, with the punishment being the demotion of McDonald from Admiral to Captain! They also reward McDonald by giving him the duty for which he has repeatedly demonstrated unswerving ability: the command of a starship!

Captain McDonald and his crew go to Spacedock in a travel pod! Dr. Jones says "The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe! We'll get a freighter!" Commander Janet says "With all respect, Doctor, I'm counting on Excalibur!" The Potemkin's crew is shocked! Commander Frank says "Excalibur? Why in God's name would you possibly want that bucket of bolts?" Captain McDonald says "A ship is a ship!" Commander Frank says "Whatever you say, sir! Thy will be done!" The travel pod goes over the Excalibur-class U.S.S. Excalibur! Right behind the Excalibur is the new Galaxy-class Federation starship U.S.S. Potemkin NCC-67451-A! Captain McDonald says "My friends, we've come home!"

Captain McDonald and his crew get aboard the U.S.S. Potemkin-A! The U.S.S. Potemkin-A then leaves Spacedock! Commander Janet says "Helm ready, Captain!" Captain McDonald says "All right, Commander Janet, let's see what she's got!" Then the U.S.S. Potemkin-A goes to warp speed!
