Return to Doomsday (TotSF episode)

"Return to Doomsday" is the original pilot episode of the Tales of the Seventh Fleet Star Trek Fan Film Series. It was made in 2003, but didn't "air" until 2004 after a long process of trial and error (and learning how to film, edit, etc). The episode was written by Edward Tunis and Gene Hendricks and directed by Daniel A. Swift and Thomas Hendricks (no relation to Gene and Michelle Hendricks).

Primary cast

 * Edward C. Tunis III :  The Efrosian Captain

Thirty three years after the destruction of the USS Constellation the legendary Captain James T. Kirk stops a planet devouring machine and places a warning buoy near the inactive machine. The USS Justice, on routine patrol, discovers the USS Enterprise's buoy has been destroyed and that the most powerful weapon in the universe is once again fully functional!

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Will update after lunch :-)

Trivia

 * The static sound of the warning buoy after it is destroyed is caused by rubbing the microphone across one of the cast members five o'clock shadow.
 * The name "Tales of the Seventh Fleet" is an homage to the group's origins as a chapter in Region Seven of Starfleet International.
 * The music played over the opening credits for the USS Justice is the theme to "The Last Starfighter".
 * Enigma's name came from the German code machine used in World War II.
