Star Trek: The Quarterdeck Breed

Star Trek: The Quarterdeck Breed is an anthology series of short stories written by Michael D. Garcia. The purpose of each of the stories is to explore the various philosophies of command within Starfleet, from the perspective of different officers at different times in history. The first story, Agamemnon, was published at FanFiction.net on April 2, 2002.

Background
The series originally began as an experiment into writing non-alternate universe fiction. The series followed after the completion of the January McKenna saga, detailing a Borg-infested Federation and the war to take back the Alpha Quadrant. This was also a chance to try one-shot stories, although the Agamemnon story proved to be so popular on FanFiction.net, that it spawned a sequel novella, The Sacrifice of Agamemnon.

The title of the anthology comes from a line in Star Trek: The Lost Years by J. M. Dillard, where Doctor McCoy hounds fleet Admiral Nogura about Jim Kirk being a prime example of the "quarterdeck breed."
