Trek Shorts is proud to present our next #SaveStarTrekProdigy production! Prodigy was cancelled in 2023 but we the fans by sharing the word can get season 2 on the air and more created!
Trek Shorts is also proud to present Samuel Cockings next film! and our fifth in universe documentary!
Lieutenant William Davis is being interviewed by Memory Alphas longest serving reporter, the famous Lanthanite Dr Louise Nilson about a recent incident involving the Pakleds and their theft of the USS Protostar.
The Pakleds, an antagonist force from several years ago have made a small resurgence in recent months. Their last act was to steal the experimental USS Protostar from one of its final shakedown missions. The USS Resolute was sent to stop the Pakleds and rescue the Protostars crew.
Lt William Davis was essential in this...unusual situation, one which escalated far beyond what the crew of the Resolute could have predicted.
This film serves as the introduction to several important characters in the Trek Shorts universe and the first fan film based on the Star Trek video game "Star Trek Resurgence".

RED ALARM! Thanks for an excellent Star Trek story. I really enjoyed the backstory of the Protostar prior to what occurred in #SaveStarTrekProdigy. Bringing in guest stars and additional starships added to the mystique of the show. Very much appreciate your efforts to continue the legacy of the Star Trek universe which shows humanity's ability to grow and expand knowledge.

It's interesting trying to identify what parts of the Pakled clump ship come from which races, and I really want to see that Red Dwarf crossover.

[@MarkLLawrence]

@@SGUDistantHope The mix was perfect. My quick answer for my favorite thing would obviously be all the beautiful ship pr0n. After that, you really do have a great cast and the music pulls it all together. I hope you eventually do a short on how Foley got the USS Foley. A foray into more TOS and maybe earlier with the origin of the name.

With the visuals and vfx shots you guys do, we can please just lock you all in a room along with along with JTVFX, Terry Malalas, Mike McMahon, the crew of the Titan and CBS execs and please hammer out a deal for a new series. The stuff you guys write absolutely blows the stuff these new writers ever came up with out of space. Well done.

Well done, as always! You’ve created and laid out a fairly complex bit of UFP/Starfleet history here. At the same time, this fleshes out the Pakleds (not my favorite Trek race by any stretch) in a reasonable, organic way that keeps them interesting. My favorite part about them here is realizing that they must have scavenged a fleet drydock to create their “claws”-clever. Thanks for this!

What a wonderful display of ships. I liked the subtle soundtrack recreating the themes of Prodigy and other beloved series. It was good to see more actors in a film. Thank you for another great fan film. Keep on trekking! 🖖

[@matmilne]

thanks, there are short quotes from Nemesis, Voyager, DS9, TNG, TOS, ST TMP, ST IV, ST II, ST 2009, Disco, Picard, Prodigy and Lower Decks, Easter eggs for those of you who enjoy that sort of thing. A bit of background for you: the prodigy II theme is entirely original, with only the first 7 notes being from prodigy, the rest of the theme here is all new, including 2 new counter melodies played on the high and low strings respectively with the expanded horn theme in the middle. Lt Davis' theme is new, and featured heavily, it's derived from horizon's theme in the earlier shows and makes up the bulk of the soundtrack. This was a challenge to score, as I had mostly green screen to work with, and had to imagine Sam's lovely backdrops.

Pakled Resurgence! The Chunk Class Ship! I really enjoy these types of Starfleet Interview Videos very entertaining but a bit confusing. 🤔 I think hiring a writer to clean up the dialog into a more story format, with less technical, ship, captain names thrown in. A more complete story like you are describing an episode... 🙂😃😁

[@SGUDistantHope]

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. The Dialogue is very specifically meant to be written the way it is, more personal, free form and informative. Part of these shorts is to also expand and help tell smaller parts of our characters stories AND of course be fun for the audience of Trek fans. I could have cut it right down to a very sleek 15min "what happened" story but then it would be far less fun for the audience and not serve to help the Trek Shorts web content we are making. All very deliberate :D

[@snowwolvesproductions]

I would love to be able to do the graphics like that... I want to make a fan film next year but I need someone to help with a teaser real so we can do crowd funding later. I have a friend with some Star Trek sets, but what I really need is the (TOS) USS Yorktown (my ship) to encounter a space rift. Through the rift comes an Aeon style time/scout ship. The Yorktown tries to evade but the smaller ship circles, opens the bay doors and lands inside. The next shot would be the Yorktown in a stationary position in front of the now closing rift, as it suddenly surges larger and larger... then a Wells class timeship comes in and stops, nose to nose. Later I'll need more work done, but that will all be once we raise a bit of money for the rest of the special effects.

Great story! I love the crossover between the various Star Trek bits of lore that we *know* are there at the same time, but not necessarily experience as such 😍 (Lower Decks, the testing of the Protostar, Resurgence...) I hope the Connie that was seen in one encounter with a Clump Ship got away as well 😢 (and lovely to still have Connies flying around like the trusty Mirandas and Excelsiors do 🥰) A small mistake I noticed: when the Clump Ship drops out of Warp after the Resolute fired on it, the Protostar is missing from its "claws" (in the next scene it's present again) 😅

There is something I think needs to be discussed about the Treaty of Algeron. While it did keep the Romulans and the Federation at peace, Admiral Pressman had a legitemate point when he said the treaty binded Starfleet's hand and gave the Romulans a tactical advantage. Plus, the assasination of the Romulan Senate would lead to the collapse of the Romulan Central Government. In effect the treaty wouldn't even exist anymore.

@@nsr-ints Hiya! Sounds like a lot of assets/cast we dont have. Would be looking at a $5000 indiegogo to raise budget for something with that new, would you be open to donating to such a project? Part of why we get projects made, so big and so efficient is knowing how to work with the limitations we have, in cast and assets. Keeps them under $1000 budget each normally.

@@SGUDistantHope fraking hades, I can see how such a project would be demanding from a technical standpoint, but wow. Never thought it'd require that large of a funding.

[@SGUDistantHope]

@@nsr-ints Ha, indeed let me explain. So, you suggested 3 captains and 3 factions. That would need to be 3 new cast, their costs to bring them to the studio. New uniforms for each, if custom designed/made that can be $300 per uniform. Then if were putting all that time and energy into it, we would want to do a multi day shoot which means i've got to cover all the hotels + all food. 3 actors (Only 3) hotels for a weekend shoot (Coming in Fri so everyone's fresh for Sat) can be easily $1500 in hotel costs alone. Then, you have the costs associated for building any new 3D assets as these are new ships/factions. Interiors+ exteriors + textures. Brand new, at a good quality...people don't aphreisate what it costs...and were on the ULTRA cheap end lol. This is why we stick to our same cast since we have the uniforms already set to go and know what costs it involves to bring them in.

I'm confused the events of prodigy happen after picard but the protostar is already in service while Riker is only a captain?

[@SGUDistantHope]

Hey! Lower Decks takes place in 2380-2383 Prodigy - 2383- Picard - 2399-2302 Picard is a long way after Prodigy, hence why the characters are still wearing the late 2370'2-2383 FC grey uniform. This film takes place around 2 months before the launch of the Protostar.

1:20 Haha!!! What the SMEG! Was that Starbug?

[@SGUDistantHope]

Was that second guy channeling Fred Armisen? 🤪

Why no Pakleds in this video to see? I really wanted to see them.

So, this short trek is a prequel to Star Trek Prodigy giving a more backstory to the ship before the beginning of the show. Would be cool if the production team does another short trek showing the final mission of the Enterprise E while Worf as Captain.

Yes! Set a few weeks before they set of on their maiden voyage! (And then things went bad ha!)! Yes...just have them make more Prodigy and we can see more flashbacks!
