Star Trek: Secret\\nVoyage.

\\n

The Original Series\\u2014or at least the late 23rd century\\u2014tends to\\nbe the focal point of today\'s fan productions; but that doesn\'t\\nmean Kirk and Spock must always take the lead. There was a gap\\nbetween the end of the five-year mission and the refit of the\\nEnterprise as we saw it in The Motion Picture. What happened during\\nthat time?

\\n

Star Trek: Secret Voyage, a creation of Craig Sheeler, is the\\nstory of a special mission carried out aboard the historic 1701 but\\nunder the command of a different captain with a different crew. In\\nthis episode of Continuing Mission we\'re joined by Craig to learn\\nmore about the series, various aspects of production\\u2014including\\ncreating visual effects, composing original music that\\u2019s true to\\nTOS, shooting in the desert, the premise behind the first two\\nepisodes, and more.
