Starship Valiant

Starship Valiant is a web based fan-film series with an indeterminate number of episodes to be produced. It has been in the planning and production stages since September 2013 and the first episode is near completion with a debut date of June 27th, 2014 at the SoonerCon sci-fi Convention in Midwest City, Oklahoma. The series was created by Michael L. King.

The series is contemporaneous with Star Trek: The Original Series, i.e., 2267-2269. The series takes place during the 4th season of the original series. It is intended to return to the TOS environment in terms of the scripts and scenery but focusing more on character development and internal strife with the highlight being the betterment of the human condition. The series starship was inspired by the notes of DC Fontana where she listed the USS Valiant as an alternative name for one of the original 13 Constitution-class starships.

Starship Valiant is in pre-production and is using the bridge set with the endorsement and blessing of Jimm and Josh Johnson who produced Starship Exeter -- and building additional standing sets near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: full bridge and engineering sets, transporter room, briefing room, sickbay, captain's quarters, corridors -- about 90% of the original Paramount/Desilu Stage 9 sets. These sets are now housed at Starbase Studios under the care of CEO's Scott Johnson and Richard Wells.

Michael L. King conceived the series as direct inspiration of Starship Exeter and always held the dream of creating his own expression of Star Trek, albeit on a more personal level with the characters taking center stage and the action being a distant second. he brought together a winning team to help, consisting of professional videographer Brady Foster, director and cameraman, Benjamin Richardson, editor and acting coach as well as assistance from Scott Johnson, Richard Wells and Charles England.

Craig William Frey is in charge of special visual effects and have rendered all the effects work for the vignette. He has completed 90% of the effects as of this article. Frequent updates in photos and video production reports of the progress are posted by the producer and staff.
