CONSTAR CHRONICLES - Raincross: A Star Trek Fan Production

After the attack on Mars, worry among the newly commissioned Raincross is for one of their own, and what lengths they will go to protect them.
In the after credits, a familiar face from the past finds newly discovered information about an even older threat that is on the horizon again

[@sib431]

Please continue this series. This very traditional trek script writing is so refreshing and enjoyable to watch, thank you!

[@vanceamania]

I'm very honored you liked the script. Please check out the other films I have done, I hope there's something else you'll enjoy kzbin.info/aero/PLmKxi5xAVJrJuLkreoPnHq-nAc2wIt4_t

It's a nice change of pace to see a film set in the Picard era that explores more of the issues surrounding the synths. It was a great story and was well written and acted. The battle scene in the second part of the film was fun to watch. Hope to see more films set in this time period.

[@vanceamania]

Thank you very much! It was great to explore this era

[@FPjr-filkferretproductions]

The main story was great. I love the theme of sticking by your friend and comrade at all costs. I would have done the exact same thing as Lobato. On the other hand I was blown away by the after credits. Not because of me at all, but the incredible CGI WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vanceamania]

Everything here hit on so many levels

[@GeorgeKayaian]

Very interesting post-credit scene. I cannot wait to see more adventures with this new ship and crew! Great job to everyone involved!

[@vanceamania]

Glad you enjoyed it brother

[@Lyraa357]

This production always surprises. Honest discussions between the officers about the repercussions of the attack and StarFleet's response. It still amazes me how much I can suspend belief and be so emotionally attached to these universes and the people who live within them. The Captain represents the Starfleet I would be a part of. The man in black represents the greedy and grasping one minute and reacting in hysterical fear and prejudice the next. That corruption is what Minard fought so hard to combat. I would like to think in most he would be man to stand firm for justice. Glimpses of the other possibilities are going to have opportunities for much character explorations. I expect sometimes I will be shouting "Have you lost you mind?!" and/or being so disappointed in the man he has become. Also that mean endless entertainment and exploration of self. Mr. Major hasn't had a misstep in my opinion on the dramatic front.

[@markc7440]

I wish that I had seen this sooner. The acting and production values are much better than many fan films. I realised why the audio seemed a bit off to me, no background FX. Nothing like constant whirring and bleeping to know that it's Star Trek lol I liked the intensity of the "doing the right thing" - just as you would see in the official productions. The music that came in was delightful and perfectly balanced with the scene. I hope to see more of this. Edit: one little thing, if you can enable subtitles at your end it'd help deaf / hard of hearing people like me. Thanks.

[@kellyrayburn4093]

Starfleet's order is unconscionable. I agree that affected units should be taken offline. But to assume a unit is affected simply because its intelligence is artificial is a violation of the Federation's highest principles. According to the Federation an intelligent being is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. This order presumes all artificial intelligent units are guilty unless proven otherwise. And that's just not how the Federation works.

[@vanceamania]

To me, this was skimmed over in star trek Picard

[@DMSProduktions]

Haven't WATCHED Picard have you?

[@kellyrayburn4093]

@@DMSProduktions I've seen trailers and maybe one episode, and I thought their racism against all AI was wrong. For the same reason I stated above. Presuming an intelligent being, whether from nature or artificial, to be guilty until proven otherwise is just not the Federation way. That's the Cardassian way but the Federation is supposed to be holding itself to a higher standard. Saying AI don't have the same rights as a natural person is the height of hypocrisy. I don't tolerate hypocrisy *AT ALL!!*

[@DMSProduktions]

@@kellyrayburn4093 LOL! 'Racism' does not exist against machines! They are not a 'race'! It's also fiction, so it can act as a mirror for things we don't like!

[@kellyrayburn4093]

@@DMSProduktions According to the Federation intelligent beings are presumed innocent unless proven to be guilty of wrong doing. A synth is an intelligent being. The origin of the being does not pertain. It can be a biological person or an artificially intelligent construct. The operative term here is "intelligent being". And yes, I know it is fiction. But it teaches a good object lesson.

enjoyed it, but not sure I understand it. The "synthes" destroyed in ST: Picard were not sentient. There was a ban on further experiments and development, but No one had been able to develop a Soong type sentient android.

Who says she's reached that level of sentience

[@ozelhassan8576]

I Loved this episode and I definitely would like to see more, however my next statement might get slated by many fans but don’t get me wrong I’m a massive Star Trek Fan but the music you played as far as I’m aware is from Doctor Who, please please don’t play that music as that from my perspective is The Doctors music and I feel it should only be played there, for example no one would like to hear Star Trek Music in a Star Wars film, it would be Sacrilegious so to speak. But this is just my opinion.

[@vanceamania]

After 108 films i wanted something different in my music. Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@JeanLucCaptain]

imagine Star fleet giving in to that kind of fear. its almost like a different people wrote that story in Picard who had never done a star trek script before.

[@vanceamania]

It is one of the most ridiculous story ideas in one sense. You would think we are beyond that. In another sense, we fear the unknown, or at least they want us to

[@JeanLucCaptain]

@@vanceamania ya its just its obvious the synths were sabotaged and its not their fault! also the dystopian way Mars and the treatment of the synths was depicted is very NOT trek and more blade runner.

Wow, that soundtrack is haunting. I have no idea what the special effects look like because I cannot see. But the plot is awesome.

paramount tried to stifle the fans by limiting their efforts for stories that last the typical hour. But they CAN't . Losing battle . All Paramount did was force concentration of effort and limiting plots to bare necessities. maybe if the rumors are true and cash strapped paramount sells the franchise the NEXT owner will allow all who want to to take it to the limit. wishful thinking but I did mine looking at a star.
