    I liked how it fit into continuity by keeping it a secret. And putting a Klingon on a planet of a different empire might even explain that empire's interest in that technology later on. The acting was really good for a fan film, and ditto the Klingon makeup.

    Well done showing the differences between Klingon and Federation tactics for ship to ship and ground combat. Starfleet away team has a stun setting on phasers with collapsible batons. The Klingons have bladed weapons and disruptor pistols. Federation ships combine shields for greater defense and combine fire power against multiple targets. Klingons work together but only for as long as it doesn’t interfere with personal honor.

    The ships were done very well. The acting and the fight scenes and the equipment were corny, but that's good, because it's one of the best things about Star Trek. I think that this series would have been very worthy of a few seasons of TOS Era. Roddenberry, and Shatner, (I think) would be proud of these videos. Just my personal opinion.

    Thank you, this is SO good. And the fight scenes (often the one point of weakness in these films) work quite well. The philosophical concepts, the main theme here, are well-displayed and leave the viewer thinking about possible consequences to our society now if such a discovery was made. Not just escapist fun - but then that can so often be said about the world of Star Trek!

    If there is ONE thing you never mess with in the Star Trek Universe is one: An angry Klingon. Two: The Jem Hadar and finally: The damn Iconians! Contact with anything of theirs just results in death and despair. They are too powerful and advanced as they are considered to be the greatest race ever to arise in the ST Universe. Their gates have never been surpassed and if any race in sci-fi could be compared it's Stargate's Lantean or Ancients.

    Wonderful as always! Only just discovered you recently and been working my way through the back catalogue. Loved the use of Iconians and the melee choreography. It's nice to see proper knife self-defence techniques employed on screen! The acting is wonderful as well, it always amazes me how poorly modern pros annunciate their lines compared to this older, almost rep style. Sometimes old is best, which also goes for how the original set styles have been faithfully updated.
    My only quibble is that I'm not too keen on seeing the Federation Class from Starfleet Battles being called Foley. Not sure if that's a CGI oopsie involving a class I've never heard of in beta canon material or some sort of internal deck plan difference at play.
