Tommy Kraft and Marc\\nBowers talk Star Trek: Horizon.

We know a great deal about the 23rd and 24th centuries, but our\\nexploration of the 22nd was unfortunately cut short. The\\ncancellation of Enterprise not only left behind a number of loose\\nthreads from the series, but also key moments in Star Trek history\\nthat a prequel should have explored.

\\n

Almost ten years after Enterprise left television, the\\nfeature-length film Star Trek: Horizon aims to close one of those\\ngaps by telling the story of the famous Earth-Romulan War. Made by\\nfans in love with Star Trek and set during the Enterprise time\\nperiod, Horizon centers on The Coalition of Planets, a young\\nalliance of worlds led by Earth, that is at war with the Romulan\\nEmpire. Desperate for a chance to gain the upper hand, the\\nCoalition forms an alliance with T\\u2019mar, a Romulan deserter, in the\\nhopes that she can provide valuable intelligence on her former\\nmasters.

\\n

In the episode of Continuing Mission we\'re joined by writer,\\ndirector, and executive producer Tommy Kraft, and actor Marc\\nBowers, who plays Commander Jackson Gates, first officer of the\\nNX-04 Discovery, to learn more about this story and how the film is\\nbeing put together.
