Line 8:
[[Darker and Edgier]] sequel to the popular Star Trek fan film ''[[Star Trek: Specter|Star Trek Specter]]''.
The year is 2388, ten years after we last saw our crew of intrepid heroes aboard the USS ''F. Scott Fitzgerald''. The story opens with the dire news that the fractured Romulan Empire--in tatters following the events of [[Star Trek: Nemesis]]--is united again, and about to invade [[The Federation]]. Their motive? Revenge--because they believe that Starfleet was behind [[Star Trek (film)|the supernova that destroyed Romulus the previous year]]. Admiral Thornton tells Captain Bradley Prentice that the Romulans purport to have evidence to back up their claim, and that if they are to avert disaster, he must prove the evidence is false, and discredit the source, a mysterious individual known only as Drakus, who may or may not be human. A short time later, an expert in Romulan psychology arrives to help--none other than Admiral Gaius Reyf.
The ''Fitzgerald'' departs for Romulan space, but while en route Reyf is visited in his quarters by the ghost of Braiyon Garr, who warns him not to venture into Romulan space, that doing so will mean his certain doom--which Garr says he wants to inflict himself. Shortly thereafter, the ''Fitzgerald'' arrives at the edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone, only to find the Romulan battlecruiser that was supposed to be their escort has been savagely attacked. At Reyf's insistence, Prentice agrees to salvage the ship's cloaking device and press ahead, despite the dangers that await them.
Line 98:
* [[Conspicuously Light Patch]]: You can usually tell when a shot's going to have camera motion to it--if there's something in the background that's supposed to be animated (i.e. [[LCA Rs]], alert lights, warp stars, etc.), and it is in one shot but not the next, usually the "next" shot will be a motion camera shot. (Another tell is that the "motion" shots involve background plates whose blur is different from the regular ones).
* [[Continuity Nod]]: There are numerous references to canonical [[Star Trek]] events, including:
** [[Star Trek: Nemesis|"The Shinzon incident."]]
** [[Star Trek (film)|"The Federation tried to stop [the destruction of Romulus in a supernova]."]]
** The officers' combadges are from the future time frame of "All Good Things...", the [[Grand Finale]] to [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek TNG]].
