Few ships in the fleet have a name whose history can rival that\\nof Enterprise. The Great Experiment, however, is one of them.\\nBorrowing its name from the ship captained by Hikaru Sulu, Star\\nTrek: Excelsior is an audio drama founded in 2007 by James Heaney\\nthat follows the adventures of the fourth starship to bear the\\nname. Set in the Delta Quadrant, the series follows the missions of\\nthe NCC-2000-C through intricate season-spanning arcs. In this\\nepisode of Continuing Mission we\'re joined by James along with\\nMathieu Blondin of the post-production team to learn more about the\\nStar Trek: Excelsior, its history, the challenges of production,\\nand the upcoming episode "At Death\'s Door."
