Well, why not shorts about the various worlds found? Yavin-style moons around hot Neptunes, strange crypto-creatures that don't fit the patterns of Earth's evolutionary paths, super-earths around red dwarfs billowing with volcanism from their super-massive core. Plenty of weird new ideas.
That was actually going to be my suggestion, setting up a round-robin of Federation/Starfleet expeditions just going around and finding all the weird planets around our own. No need for an over-arching story other than 'Feddies doing what they do best, SCIENCE!'
