Watching the early episodes of TOS is interesting because you see how much of the canon wasn't quite settled yet.
There's no Federation, and no Starfleet. The Enterprise is part of the Space Service, and answers to Space Command. It's also very clear Enterprise is meant to be a human ship, specifically. Spock is the only non-human on the crew, and presumably he's there because he has a human mother.
When people try to criticize modern shows for having slight deviations form existing canon (that in some cases don't actually contradict canon at all, see the Cheron cadet in SFA or Lura Thook being half Jem'Hadar), maybe they should consider how the original series made wild changes to its own internal canon as time went on.
Canon exists to serve the story; not the other way around. Slavish adherence to canon shouldn't be allowed to get in the way of telling a good story.
Summary: After parting ways with the Doctor, Liv and Helen start travelling the universe again, as members of the space service.

New Frontiers
Liv watched Helen lean forward, pressing her hands to the reinforced glass of the shuttle windows. She smiled to herself as she observed the linguist craning her neck: the angle was awkward but with any luck she would be able to just about make out the large space dock that loomed up ahead. It was the biggest one of the space ports orbiting Kaldor and hung against the blackness of space like a small, illuminated city. Traffic was heavy. There were several small freighters and shuttles buzzing around the complex, two particularly big space crafts were on approach while a large inter-galaxy cargo vessel departed and headed into open space.
Liv stepped a little closer and wrapped her arm around her back. She pressed a gentle kiss to her shoulder that drew Helen’s attention away from the space station.
“I can’t believe we’re finally going,” Helen smiled excitedly and straightened herself up.
“Are you ready?” Liv asked with a smile as she cast a glance out of the window as well.
“I had no idea I would miss it so much… the travelling, I mean,” the linguist answered and leaned into her touch, standing side by side as the space dock slowly grew bigger on their approach.
“I know what you mean. Being home was nice but… I’m itching to get going again as well,” Liv agreed. She glanced back to the window on the opposite side of the small shuttle through which they could see Kaldor getting smaller and smaller. Six months had passed since they had parted ways with the Doctor. He had dropped them off on Liv’s home world as agreed. They had discussed their options but really, there had never been an alternative. They had been in agreement on that, there was nothing left for the linguist on Earth and the med-tech had family to consider.
“New adventures,” Helen smiled and reached for Liv’s hand to intertwine their fingers.
“New adventures,” the med-tech gave back softly.
“It’ll be strange actually, having to wait… going in between planets,” the linguist observed and Liv found herself agreeing as she considered the nature of space travel without a TARDIS. It would take some getting used to, just like the other aspects of the life they had ahead of them. A new adventure indeed.
“It’ll be strange to be working, actual structured days, a ship in which the rooms don’t just disappear and reappear at random,” Liv hummed as she stopped the large ship that would soon become their new home. The official markings were unmistakable. After travelling with the Doctor, they were never going to settle for a sedentary life. They wanted to continue making a difference and eventually, they had agreed on how to best achieve that; how to see more of the universe and continue to help people. Liv straightened out her dark space service uniform and marvelled at how incredible Helen looked in hers. It wasn’t just the fact that the linguist managed to look stunning in anything she wore, it was also that somehow, the clout that came with wearing a uniform suited her. It was as if she had finally become part of the times she lived in now. Their time-travelling days were over and they had settled. Helen now belonged somewhere and the uniform gave her identity and purpose. Liv felt her heart swell with pride.
“I do miss him,” Helen admitted after a moment of silence.
“Me too…” Liv agreed softly, wondering what the Doctor would be up to right now. “But I’m sure we’ll run into him here and there, he’s still out there somewhere.”
“Still running,” the linguist chuckled, as she seemed to be entertaining similar thoughts.
“Probably,” Liv hummed. “I do miss him but it was never going to go on forever, it couldn’t. One day, we would have got ourselves killed or- Best to stop when you’re ahead. And besides… I did get to keep the most precious thing I found on my travels with him…” She took her hand and pressed a kiss to the elegant wedding ring she wore, gold with a green band in the middle.
“Charmer,” Helen hummed and leaned down to kiss her gently.
“Always,” the med-tech grinned, holding on to her wife’s hand as they came into docking.
The walk through the space station was brief as the ship they were reporting to was already in dock.
“Are you ready for this?” Liv asked as they approached the docking area.
“I didn’t put myself through three months of basic training for nothing,” Helen chuckled. “Let’s go.”
They flashed their ID badges and transfer papers to security and were shown onto the ship. They had barely made their way into the hanger deck when they were greeted by a duty officer.
“Med-tech Chenka, I presume?” He came to meet them and saluted.
“Yes, reporting for duty,” Liv answered as they mirrored his gesture.
“And trainee comms-tech Chenka, is it?” He turned to Helen, checking his data pad and she nodded in confirmation.
“Yes.”
“If you follow me, I will take you to see the Captain and have someone take your belongings to your quarters,” he explained, showing them further into the ship. It was a state of the art, long distance explorer, prepared for any number of missions of scientific, humanitarian and military nature. Liv and Helen exchanged glances of excitement. After six months on Kaldor, the prospect of a new adventure was thrilling.
“Right on schedule,” the Captain greeted them as they stepped into the ready room. She was a tall, sturdy woman with a no-nonsense attitude and a confident demeanor.
They both saluted and Liv was surprised how quickly she was able to fall back into old patterns. Unlike Helen, her training had been a long time ago, just like her active service, but it was like riding a bicycle in many ways.
“At ease,” the Captain smiled as she watched them relax where they stood. She picked up two data pads. “I have your transfer papers here. I must say, I was intrigued when I received word that you would be joining us. Med-tech Chenka, you dropped off our radar for a bit after Nixyce VII, what happened?” She turned to Liv first.
“I went travelling. But having had some time at home with my family, I’m eager to get back out there,” the med-tech answered with practiced professionalism.
“See more of the universe?” The Captain prompted and Liv was convinced into a small smile.
“If you will,” she nodded.“Pick up where I left off, with much more experience to boot.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing you put that experience to good use,” the Captain replied, scanning over her transfer papers once more. “As the senior medical officer, you will be third in line in the chain of command behind myself and my executive officer, are you comfortable with taking on that responsibility?”
“Of course,” Liv nodded, well aware of what her position on this ship would entail. It was a large crew. As chief medical officer, she would have a lot of people working under her. “After everything we’ve been through, there are very few situations in which I am uncomfortable.”
“Glad to hear it,” the captain smiled and turned her attention to Helen. “And Trainee Comms-tech Chenka, we rarely have couples joining the service together,” she observed but there was no judgement in her voice. It was a simple statement of fact.
“I would prefer it if I could use my maiden name while on duty? I would rather not give the other trainees reason to speculate as to my reasons for being here,” Helen replied and Liv felt a smile tuck at the corners of her mouth, even as she tried to remain serious. It had been a concern of Helen’s that she wouldn’t be taken seriously once people were aware of their relationship, and she was pleased to see her have the courage to address the matter head on.
“Very wise. Sinclair, is it?” The captain glanced at her papers, obviously to see if she had remembered correctly.
“Yes, Ma’am,” Helen confirmed and the captain nodded once more.
“Very well, Miss Sinclair,” she agreed. “I take it from your records that you used to be a scholar, a linguist? You decided to retrain?” She raised her eyebrows evidently surprised at her unusual course of career.
“My passion for languages remains but I don’t want to sit behind a desk anymore, I want to see more of the universe as well,” Helen answered truthfully.
“Well, what is academia’s loss will be our gain,” the captain smiled. “Your test results speak for themselves, we will be very happy to have you and support you through the practical section of your training.” She put the data pads down and folded her hands on the desk as she addressed both of them. “I expect you will both conduct yourself with professionalism while on duty, given your different areas of responsibility, I don’t expect you do encounter many conflicts of interest but I expect them to be brought to my attention if there are any.”
“Of course,” the couple answered in unison, provoking another smile from their superior. Despite her hard appearance, she seemed to have a kind heart.
“Very well. Med-tech Chenka, I expect you back here for senior officers briefing in two hours. Other than that, remains for me to say: welcome aboard, I’m sure you will both become valuable members of our crew,” she stated as she stood and offered to shake hands with both.
“Thank you Ma’am,” they answered simultaneously and exchanging a quick glance, they both grinned, before taking turns to accept the congratulations on their commissioning.
“Here we are, home sweet home,” Liv smiled as they stepped into their living quarters.
“This is not bad at all considering,” Helen looked around curiously. The space was relatively big with a seating area, a small kitchen and a bedroom that was partitioned off along with an adjoining bathroom.
“Senior officer quarters. Never had this when I first signed up,” Liv commented as she looked around as well. Their bags had been brought up and set down neatly by the coffee table. “Lucky you’re bunking with a commanding officer, not the trainees below decks,” she teased as she recalled her first posting and the tiny crew quarters she had had to share with another trainee.
“You’ll be enjoying this, won’t you,” Helen chuckled.
“Immensely,” Liv grinned in response. “I’m looking forward to you saluting me on deck.” She winked at her wife as she went to explore their living quarters.
“I’m actually looking forward to the work, too.” Helen said as she carried the bags into the bedroom. “I didn’t just sign up so we could do this together. I’m going to do well at this, I’m going to work hard and build a career.”
“I know you will,” Liv smiled as she joined her to start unpacking. “And you will do brilliantly, nothing and no-one is going to hold you back,” she reached for her wife’s hands, stalling her movements and demanded her attention. She wanted to make sure she was listening when she said: “I’m so very proud of you.” And she really was. Helen had taken it all in her stride. Life on Kaldor, in her far future. Basic training for the space service. Getting to grips with the technology required to work in comms, it was a huge achievement. Of course she had never doubted her for a moment but that didn’t take away from how impressive it was. For so much of her life, Helen had been put down and not appreciated for her efforts. She had been born into the wrong time and now that she was here, all doors were open to her.
“I love you, Liv,” Helen smiled softly, giving her hands a squeeze. “I’m very excited to start this new chapter with you.”
“Me too,” Liv replied softly, “I love you, too.”
Suddenly, a jolt went through the ship.
“What was that?” Helen asked, alarmed but Liv just grinned.
“I think we might be setting off,” she revealed as she had been through the procedure many times. There was always a bit of a knock when the docking clamps were released. “Come on, we will be jumping into warp soon.” She pulled her along to the window so they could watch their departure. As the large ship turned, they watched Kaldor that they knew would soon drop out of sight.
“It’ll be a while before we come back, we signed up for a long tour,” Helen observed.
“Plenty to see out there,” Liv replied.
“And you won’t be missing home?” The linguist carried on and Liv simply shook her head. As much as Kaldor was the place they would always come back to, it had no hold over her. Tula would be fine without her and there was so much more she wanted to do out in the universe. Liv stood on her tiptoes to press a kiss to her wife’s lips.
“Home is wherever you are,” she answered and outside, the stars blurred as they jumped into warp, headed to a new adventure.
