Watch The Trailer For Star Trek: Renegades Starring Chekov & Rachael From Blade Runner

Last year, a Kickstarter campaign was launched to fund a special film/pilot based in the Star Trek universe. But this wasn’t any old fan film. Walter Koenig, aka Chekov from the original series, and a few other familiar faces from Star Trek and sci-fi history had joined to create something unique – Star Trek: Renegades. According to the official website, “It is ten years after Voyager’s return from the Delta Quadrant, and the Federation is in a crisis. The Federation’s main suppliers of dilithium crystals are disappearing. Space and time have folded around several planets, effectively isolating them from any contact with outside worlds. And this phenomenon is not natural – someone or something is causing this to happen. This necessitates drastic measures; some of which are outside the Federation’s normal jurisdiction.” And now we’ve got our first official trailer. What do you think?
