Star Trek: Prelude to Axanar

[keg in kc]

Surprised I hadn't heard of this before, it went up on Kickstarter at the end of July.

THE STORY

Axanar takes place 21 years before the events of “Where no Man Has Gone Before”. It tells the story of Garth of Izar, the legendary Starfleet captain who is Captain Kirk’s hero and the role model for a generation of Starfleet officers. Garth charted more planets than any other Captain and was the hero of the Battle of Axanar. His exploits are required reading at Starfleet Academy.

This is the story of Garth and his crew during the Four Years War, the war with the Klingon Empire that almost tore the Federation apart, and whose resolution solidified the Federation and allowed it to become the entity we know in Kirk's time.

It is the year 2245, four years into the war with the Klingons.

Really solid stuff. More details on the financials and the reason why they're doing it (basically to prove quality star trek can be done independently on a small budget) is at the link at the beginning of the post.
