New, Canon-Faithful Star Trek Series Is In Pre-Production
An anonymous reader writes "Star Trek veterans such as Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov), Tim Russ (Tuvok), Robert Picardo (the Doctor) and others are busy in pre-production of a professionally produced pilot episode for a suggested new online Star Trek series named Star Trek: Renegades, which will be faithful to the original Star Trek canon. The events of the series are placed a decade after Voyager's return from Delta Quadrant. When the pilot is complete, they'll present it to CBS in the hopes that it'll be picked up. They have also opened an Indiegogo campaign, seeking more funds from Star Trek fans to help make the production even more professional. They've already reached their primary funding goal."
I think it is safe to say that they'll mostly ignore Enterprise, just like everybody else on Earth.

After locating the nuclear wessels (a Russian inwention), Psi-cop Alfred Bester finds a way to travel back to the 1980's and muck with Khan Noonien Singh's head (explaining why Khan recognized Chekov on Ceti Alpha V).

They could really screw with everybody and produce a timeline in which Richard Woolsey is frozen after getting seriously injured defending Earth from a replicator attack, the Stargate program is abandoned and forgotten about per an IOA mandate, and Woolsey ends up being discovered on a distant planet by the Enterprise.

I kept wondering why in the 'verse they'd ever bother with ships again. They can beam across space to other planets without that pesky years-in-hard-vacuum bit in the middle.
Transwarp makes negotiations easier, too:
"Captain Awesome, the Klingon ambassador demands--"
*teleporter sounds*
"I beamed him into the sun. What's his successor want?"

Ah yes, Enterprises' T'pol, famous from such unforgetable episodes as "T'pol rubbing some stuff on herself in the decontamination chamber", "Somebody else rubbing stuff on T'pol in the decontamination chamber" and "Could this decontamination chamber scene be any more suggestive and puritanical at the same time?".

Ooh. I know this. The probe destroys Earth, and all the whales leave, saying, "So long and thanks for all the fish." No, wait.
