The show's history

Star Trek: Excalibur was originally started in 2005. Due to the illegal destruction of the sets that were being built a law suit over the destruction of the sets was filed. Unfortunately, nothing came of it when the owner of the building they were renting went bankrupt. Everything was lost except for the vintage Madison chair used as part of the captain's chair and the blueprints used for constructing the sets. All their tools were stolen and everyone of the vintage Burke chairs seen in the video were also lost.

Excalibur has started over and is currently looking for a new place to rebuild and funding to start full production again. The show has 9 completed scripts and 5 more in 1st and 2nd draft . Additional writers are currently being considered and the production is searching for additional crew to assist in the project.

The show is based in Las Vegas NV.
