SYNOPSIS (SPOILERS)
On the neutral planet Argus, the Federation and Dregon Continuum's fragile peace is broken by renegades bent on destroying that peace and forcibly installing a new order. The only hope lies with a little girl but getting her off the planet and to the peace accords will be a challenge taken on by the USS Valiant's chief of Security Alex Hilton but its a struggle as in orbit the USS Valiant serves as defender and protector of the planet as enemy forces constantly attack attempting to gain access to the planet and the girl. Hilton, struggling with his own personal issues must put those aside because if he and his team cannot get her off the planet, peace will be shattered by all out war.

Absolutely fabulous. Some of the very best Star Trek type stories (thank you Michael King!), and top-notch acting and production quality!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is what Star Trek is all about. My compliments, keep up the great work.
Starfleet training isn't what it used to be either. In what war did the commander fight that he so bitterly and doggedly sent his people to their deaths? Survival at all costs, is not enough. We would know how to get along, but our personnel decisions and personnel development are often a disaster.
Ethically speaking, This is THEE best Star Trek fan made films that directly addresses one of the most worst issues crippling man kind to date. That being "racism". The whole of humanity could learn something from this film if they would listen to it and give it's resolve a try. This one should receive an Oscar.
You know a redshirt is badass when he stays on mission while other redshirts die for him.
This was an awesome episode and the acting was on point as usual. Bravo Maestro and the girls acting was perfect she will go far in this industry.
Thank you so much for the kind response. We appreciate the feedback and honestly, it makes the work put into the films that much more rewarding.
This film has been crafted with great care, you should be proud! Engaging, cool space battles and many really nice touches and allusions. Of course, the story is paramount and you made bold choices! How soon we forget. Well done to all!
Thank you Mr. Roy, we appreciate that very much.
I made watching this one an event. Got my breakfast and gave it the same appointed watch time that I had for Discovery the past few weeks. It was perfect! So many neat things. The story on the planet was touching and poetic, with great performances. The scenes on the Valiant were so cool. It was great to see all the fan film faces, Michael, Vance, Jim, and my favorite fan film Transporter chief Glen Wolfe. I'm really glad this film endured and made it's way to the screen. Congratulations to everyone involved!
Thank you so much Joshua, this just made our day. So many kind things you said. It's folks like you that help us to endure and keep the legacy of star trek alive. Also thank you for your teams contribution to trek and its legacy.
Thank you all for joining us tonight at the premiere. Please enjoy our labor of love, inspired by the ever timeless 1966 series named Star Trek. BTW, did anyone catch the ANIMALS font at the end of the title? Can anyone guess what its from?
I wasn’t really a fan of this particular production but it was the font used for the Star Trek logo that was used on the gold key Star Trek comics and some early toys.
@@Atlas_System01 And that would be correct sir. Michael wanted to use that because those early comics played a big par in his childhood. Thanks for watching and be safe.
@@StarshipValiant maybe you guys should try making a fan film set in the gold key continuity as there are no fan films set in that continuity and the only gold key fanfics that I know of are all my own work.
I think that it would be a fun challenge as those old comics don't get enough attention
@@Atlas_System01 What continuity would that be specifically? Wasn't those comics set during the TOS five-year mission?
great show love the story and yes lets all of us get along.
Congratulations everyone, very well done.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
An intriguing tale. Very well done!
Honestly best Trek fan film I've seen. And this kind of message needs to be said more.
Thank you so much for your kind words-much appreciated.
Amazing and so nostalgic. Bravo Valiant crew!
Thank you very much for watching.
Awesome film and story! The font of Animals from old comic book!
You are exactly right William. That was a nice catch!
This is a very well written story. It moved me, especially learning the death of the security lieutenant. Congratulations and thanks to the whole cast and crew of this project. Keep on trekking. Best regards from the USS Atlas
Thank you kind person. We appreciate you watching and commenting.
Michael! What can I say? That was fantastic. I loved the characters, and their viewpoints-- both through the dialogue and action, made it clear where they stood. Your spfx was top notch, and I loved the music. You've raised the bar indeed! Sincere congratulations to you and everyone involved. Very proud of you! Well done!
From a master storyteller such as yourself George, we are all very humbled by your comments. Thank you so much my friend, thank you.
@@StarshipValiant - The honor is all mine, my friend.
This episode dealt with hate and judging others by being different this explores real-world issues on what some are experiencing these days, good job you all did great work.
Reminder on though it isn't needed, I'll be here to witness this long awaited release, thumbs up Michael L. King and all listed above... Super film, great acting, story was super, cgi was a knock out, alien planet sky, plants a ruby red, great job by all for sure
You All Did A Fantastic Job! Very Well Written, Directed and Actors did a Fine Job. Excellent story telling. High Fives To Everyone. This Is Star Trek at it's Best!
Real Star Trek thank you everyone involved for making this
Over the past week, I discovered and watched all of the Starship Valiant episodes released to date. As a huge fan of TOS, I am happy to say this is real Trek. For a fan series, you have excellent production values, perhaps even better in several areas than the original TOS. Far more important, you have compelling story lines, which is the heart of all Trek. Magnificent job! Kirk Forever!!!
This was great! Brought tears to my eyes. This is what Star Trek should be about. Not men kissing men. and a hole bunch of lights all over the bridge. God Bles.. this was about blessings.
Thank you sir. I'm curious, what exactly about the story gave you such an emotional response please?
@@StarshipValiant The story and the message.
An excellent ST story. Great job and thank you for all those involved with this film.
And thank you so kindly for tuning in. We appreciate that very much.
Star Trek Lives. Thank you.
Thank you kind human. Folks like you and Valiant keep it that way.
Good grief. The story, acting, production values were superb. I really hope you guys do more.
Wonderful story and kudos to all involved! Added to our archive!
Thank you sir-much appreciated.
Bravo Zulu outstanding well done thank you keep them coming
Congratulations all involved! Nicely done!
Thanks Dominic. Hey man where have you been? Haven't seen you in any films in a long while? Hope you are well and the rest of the family.
Great film and the message is sorely needed at this time in society.
Wow! Wow! Wow! So good! Script, acting, production value--you guys had it all.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for making this episode. It had a powerful message. I will subscribe and share.
Honestly, that wasn't half bad for a fan production! Expecially the CGI and effects were actually almost top notch.
Impressive. Even with a short runtime, I felt real emotions for the characters. Great little surprise treats throughout (the cool tent, the slowly setting ringed planet, the beautiful colors in the plants). Congrats on a very well done film and for your love of Star Trek.
Thank you kind sir. We all appreciate your comments and compliments. The runtime was a challenge, as there was so much that we wanted to do but we made choices that we felt worked best for the film. If we had our way, this would have been an hour episode but overall we feel like it gets the point across. Again thank you so much sir.
@@StarshipValiant Oh - the runtime was fine. I was just impressed that I could get to know and appreciate characters that quickly.
good job, excellent story....i look forward to future episodes...thank you for your hard work...
This was superb. Hilton is such a great character, I hope we see more of him. Such great writing and the performances were just outstanding by all. Great work!
Fantastic job congratulations to all involved, absolutely loved it all.
great film! The SFX and AFX were excellent! Production value definitely raises the bar. Loved it!! Congrats!!!!
I knew from the get-go that the Dregons weren't simply animals. Different, yes, animals? No. Animals don't build ships for either exploration or war; or even for peace for that matter. They don't build ships period. They are sapient life. they may choose not to converse with others not of their kind, but they can do it and that's what counts. The *can* converse with other species therefore they are not mere animals.
This was good work. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you. The "ANIMALS," reference wasn't spoken of them literally as being animals. It was a reference to how some human beings have spoken and compared the existence of other human beings as animals. It's a play on race relations across the world today and how we treat one another and how some people are considered less than human.
@@StarshipValiant I evaluate someone on their actions. And I don't call the ones who act like animals 'animals' as for the most part, that would be an insult; *to the animals.* I call them monsters. Because that's what they are. They are monstrous.
What I find reprehensible is that we tell our children there are no such things as monsters. Children do *not* need to be lied to. If they know the truth, they have a better idea of when to run.
And make no mistake. There *are* monsters out there. They are in human form, but they are monsters nonetheless.
This was really good. The best fan film I’ve seen since Star Trek Continues, and Star Trek New Voyages. Also yes it’s definitely Star Trek to the core. A great message to all. Thank you for this. Y’all did amazing!
Thank you so much. The original series had its share of commentary on the human condition and this film was made in the shadow of that great show. In todays world, we felt that a message of hope, in all of this madness was appropriate and most certainly achievable. People always have the option to change.
@@StarshipValiant yes sir that is so true! And badly needed.
Hi, Michael! Congratulations to you and your production group on the release of ANIMALS. It's a terrific story, beautifully told! I really enjoyed watching it today, and I look forward to your next fan film! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
That was phenomenal! Breathtaking cinematography, excellent acting, and a fantastic story to top it off. IMO it was a huge step up from Legacy. Great job to everyone who was involved!
Thanks Chubzs, we all really appreciate your kind words.
It was alright.
I loved the special effects.
Liked the references to the USS Hood and USS Republic.
The Republic appearing in Star Trek 25th Anniversary as well.
Thats was amazing
Not only are the special FX great, so is the acting. In addition to this being very visually pleasing to look at, the musical score was quite moving as well. Very nicely done.
Great film and a very much needed message for today's time. A reminder of why films like yours are needed my friend
So Kind. Thanks.
You are right.
Great job guys love to see more 😎👍👏👏
Sorry I missed the premiere tonight, but wanted to let you know I loved Animals! It was very well acted, directed and filmed.
It wasn't the same without you Ed. Your presence was indeed missed. Thank you so much however for watching and the kind words. We all are very happy that you enjoyed it.
You know I would have loved to work on this with you, Michael. However this covid crap and NY 's travel restrictions are absolutely barbaric to the point of violating personal and civil rights all in the name of fear.
I enjoy watching fan made star trek films with my father, and he has greatly enjoyed watching this one. Thank you for making this and posting this
Glad you both enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching.
Excellent! This episode makes one think (if they choose to) about war and those that fight and die in war. The production value was great, the battle scenes between the ships was great. WOW kind of sums it up. Keep up the great work and thanks!
Thank you so much.
Well done! Keep up the good fight!
This is top shelf fan production! I started watching the trek series back in 1987 when TNG came out. then i followed with DS9 and Voyager. I never saw Enterprise or much of TOS, but i'm watching both of those currently and just saw the Enterprise episode where they find the Defiant from TOS and your episode fits in nicely.
This is awesome! You guys did a great job
Excelente historia ¡¡¡¡¡¡.espero ver más pronto.
What a great story, good Star Trek with elements of the growth that must take place if humanity is ever to reach the stars. 👍👍
"They're animals. And I slaughtered them like animals. And not just the men but the women and children too".
Anikan Skywalker. Attack of the Clones.
Very good, thought provoking and told in true TOS style.👍🏼🖖🏽
A very good start, bravo. I only have one critique and one observation. The critique is the way the chief used the tricorder, holding it in a way he could not possibly read it. The observation, the alien attackers faces reminded me of Rudi Giuliani, and I can't un-see it.
Well done another ace video many thank
Excellent film. Good acting. Good message.
Great work 👍🏻 Greetings from the far Germany ❤️
2nd watch Acting by everyone is awesome and the little girl just shines as a natural actor.
Yes she's so epic and talented. Fun Fact: she appeared in the Captain Marvel film but the scene ended up being deleted.
Very good episode!
Michael, you have OUTDONE YOURSELF MAN! So impressed!
Thanks Owen! Great to see you. How have you and the family been?
Sorry I couldn’t make it for the premiere but it was the middle of the night for me. Just watched it, and enjoyed it very much. Well-written script, on point message, and some lovely cinematography. Thanks for making it. :)
Thank you Nick, we all appreciate that very much.
@@MLK-KAEFENTERPRISES you're very welcome. I enjoyed it a lot, and you absolutely embodied the spirit of The Savage Empire here, also one of my very favourite fanfilms. :)
This was very, very good, and the cinematography was amazing. Tough-as-nails, no-nonsense Hillton is like no other Starfleet officer, which is a refreshing change. I'd like to see more! MUCH more!
Always amazes me how fan Trek understands what is important in Trek.
Would watch this a million times over your new drivel which is out now (STD and STP).
Thank you.
"Dead Shirts"....lol!. Good work here....sets looked good, interesting story, I like the captain's jacket. Though I suspect the ships are supposed to be updated Constitutions, I prefer to think of them as Bonhomme Richard classes with upgrades on phasers, torpedoes, and deflector dish. Hope to see more.
Excelland rendering.... good graphics and affects.
Thank you! Cheers!
Vman, and No Budget Productions. Thank you for such a great film. I really enjoyed it. What a lesson it conveyed to us, the viewer. Dave in Sierra Vista AZ
We, (MLK-KAEF Enterprise & Red Chair Media) were actually responsible for putting the film out but we are very happy that you enjoyed it.
Great movie and I thought it was very true to the original theme of Star Trek with a excellent story that was just so Star Trek well done
Thank you.
I finally got to watch this. It was excellent! Well done and the message is right on point.
Nicely done. Great attention to detail. Hope to see more in the future.
Thank you very much!
Outstanding
The chief seem to have a tainted view of anyone not of earth. Sad that he is disconnected from his own past, when fellow humans thought this way about our people. I have no military background, but it seemed to me he could have attempted to fortify some type of defensive cover from the terrain to support the person he had to leave behind. Her chances of survival might have increased. It was sad to see how callous he was. It seemed even fellow crew became enemies because of his rage.
Enjoyed this 'thought' episode very much. Kudos to all involved.
Wow!...a really great story, I echo this is a story much needed in our time...and your vfx are some of the best I have seen in Fanfilms...the uniforms fit well, too...blue/green screen work is very good...and I especially like the Jetsons treatment of the camping tent...a nice yet a bit comical treatment that was well executed...thank you for a well done episode...please keep up the great work...
Good, solid effort from start to finish. Writing, acting, visuals all spot on. Not structured like a TOS episode but the story was very much at home in that era.
The message - was fine. There are always going to be stragglers in any progressive society (such as Lt Stiles) but it's good to let them see the error of their ways.
Great beautiful scenery & the Chief & the little girl Ellie were very interesting! I am subscribing I enjoy a great Star Trek fanmade film ever once in a while & also the other the StarWars lol
Thank you so much sir.
Nice work people!!!
Thank you sir.
That was very good !!
Love it keep making these. Qapla!
That little girls is pretty decent actress.
We thought so too.
It was very clear how much passion all of you had for this project. I liked all the vignettes leading up to the premiere too. The little girl was very impressive. With the budget (or lack of🤣) you had,well done all. Quick combat tip,the people who stand up and stand still usually get shot. Call the star fleet academy and have them add that to the course;)
Thank you kind sir. We appreciate your comments and you watching. In the end it was a labor of love to be sure.
Hello. This is a top drawer. This was a joy to watch. I liked it alot. Thank you for such a wonderful film. Dave in Sierra Vista AZ
Thank you Dave, we are so pleased that you enjoyed the film. That means a lot to us.
It amazes me to see flames when space craft are shot at. Without oxygen in space there can be no flames!
That's why its called science fiction.😁
See CBS and paramount studios this is how you do Star Trek !!
Good production. Well done.
Much appreciated!
Excellent all around, great acting and direction. Nice to know that Trek Fan filsm are still getting made. I thought the ending made no sense, but that doesn't at all spoil things.
The ending is basically saying that there are some in a race, (human) that are bad but do not judge the whole in the same regard as there are also those that serve good as well.
@@StarshipValiant I know what the ending says, it's just forced, because everything else in the story shows them as relentless aggressive and remorseless predators. It's like a Jaws movie where we see the shark turn vegetarian.
English subtitles are up for the hearing impaired. Thank you all for watching.
At least you guys are getting the Starship badges correct. All other production companies are using the Enterprise's badge for the different Constitution starships.
Yes we were very much aware that during the TOS era if trek, all starships had different badges.
And now my actual opinions, I think I get why he was so angry and aggressive, past dealings with the aliens. Movie was great
Great Story! Really enjoyed it 😊.
Thank you! 😊
Why would any true star trek fan dislike ANY fan trek? Unless the show is in a carboard box inside their own bedroom, come on, give them a hand.
I apologize for missing the premier .This turned out just as bright and beautiful as I imagined that it would . It`s be fun watching this come together. Bless you all. LLNP
Better late then never William. So glad you came to watch it now-thank you!
Very good, captured the look and sound of TOS. Better show that Discovery
Take me somewhere ive never been before.
Damn, looks like the Federation has had the same marksmanship training that Imperial Storm Troopers take. Can't hit a target advancing in a straight line and taking no evasive action.
Its a storytelling thing in actuality so that we have a visual fight that doesn't end in a few seconds. Also the masks obscured their vision so we really couldn't have them jumping around and dodging due to all the small rocks on the surface of the preserve. Realistically not really but in movie world, yep. Also thank you so much for watching.
@@StarshipValiant Bravo, bravo, bravo, great reasoning and J. Matthew Phipps
, you enjoyed it in it's entirety as the rest of us Trekker's, it's a Fan Film, what we love, low tech, great story, actors super, seasoned or not, costumes rich or poor, they share there magic with us free as was there time to do these films, love it or not, enjoy there effort please
The Valient seems a lot more armed than a normal Constitution class.
Her tech is in the middle of the TOS design and TMP.
Thank you so much for making this. 1000 times better than Alex Kurtzman's ST:D! Excellent story!
Could you please tell me: how did you guys overcome Alex Kurtzman's "15 minute ban" (limit) on Star Trek Fan Films?
Good Job, I Enjoyed It 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
That guy was pretty callous. No regard for others.
