Starship Exeter

Background Information
Starship Exeter is one of the earliest of the semi-professional fan film projects that have become an increasingly common fixture of the internet video scene. Although fan films have been produced for almost as long as there have been film fans, they were generally few and far between before the advent of home video. It is only with the two pronged revolution of digital video production/editing and the advent of internet distribution that they have become something more than a curiosity to be shared by a few intimates.

In the chronology of modern Star Trek fan films, Exeter was one of the first in producution, although not the first released (that credit goes to the Hidden Frontier series), and the first of the video era to make extensive use of practical sets and locations in place of chroma keyed virtual settings.

Starship Exeter is set within the continuity of the original Star Trek series. It takes place on a sister to the famous USS Enterprise, the titular USS Exeter, which appeared in the original Star Trek episode "The Omega Glory". What makes the production notable is its fidelty to its source material. The show is produced to look and sound like a production circa 1969.

Produced by Jimm and Joshua Johnson for the non-profit Exeter Studio, to date, there is one complete episode, and a second in production.

Central Characters
The series features four central characters as well as several recurring.

Garrovick is the cousin of Ensign Garrovick, who joined Captain Kirk in an attempt to destroy a mist-creature in the original Star Trek episode "Obsession". Both were nearly killed until Mr. Spock performed a brilliant transporter maneuver (cross-circuiting to "B") that saved both their lives.
 * Captain John Quincy Garrovick (played by "James Culhane"/Jimm Johnson)

Harris is the executive officer as well as the science officer of the ship, following the pattern of Spock from the original series. Harris is a human from Great Britain on Earth.
 * Commander Jo Harris (played by Holly Guess)

The ship's chief security officer, he served with then-Commander Garrovick on-board the USS Kongo where the two became close friends. The Kongo was captained by an officer they both looked up to, Captain Kosnett (Garry Peters), who makes a cameo appearance in the second episode
 * Commander Paul Cutty (played by Michael Buford)

B'fuselek is the Exeter's Andorian communications officer. The makeup is patterned on designs seen in the original series episodes "Journey To Babel" and "Whom Gods Destroy". The character's background is derived from several Trek-based RPGs of the 1970s and 1980s.
 * Lieutenant B'fuselek (played by "Joshua Caleb"/Josh Johnson)

Two other major characters appear in the second episode of the series, Doctor Azato (played by Joe Azzato) and Yeoman Vandi Richards (Elizabeth Wheat).
