I have actual goosebumps right now and you will too! This trailer for Star Trek: Renegades is nothing short of spectacular! Renegades is an independently produced pilot episode for a new Star Trek series, backed by an IndieGogo campaign.
The pilot episode is directed by Tim Russ, known for his role as Tuvok in Star Trek: Voyager and the cast line-up might have more than a few familiar names and faces including, Walter Koenig, Robert Picardo and Sean Young.
It is ten years after Voyager’s return from the Delta Quadrant, and the Federation is in a crisis. The Federation’s main suppliers of dilithium crystals are disappearing. Space and time have folded around several planets, effectively isolating them from any contact with outside worlds. And this phenomenon is not natural – someone or something is causing this to happen. This necessitates drastic measures; some of which are outside the Federation’s normal jurisdiction. For this, Admiral Pavel Chekov, head of Starfleet Intelligence, turns to Commander Tuvok, Voyager’s former security officer and current head of the newly reorganized Section 31. Tuvok must put together a new covert, renegade crew – mostly outcasts and rogues – even criminals. This new crew is tasked with finding out what is causing the folding of time and space, and stopping it – at all costs. But will they be able to put aside their differences and stop trying to kill one another in time to accomplish their mission?
Star Trek Renegades does not have official release date but those who backed the project will receive their DVDs this summer!
