17: The Fourth Starship to Bear the Name

Star Trek: Excelsior.


Few ships in the fleet have a name whose history can rival that
of Enterprise. The Great Experiment, however, is one of them.
Borrowing its name from the ship captained by Hikaru Sulu, Star
Trek: Excelsior is an audio drama founded in 2007 by James Heaney
that follows the adventures of the fourth starship to bear the
name. Set in the Delta Quadrant, the series follows the missions
of the NCC-2000-C through intricate season-spanning arcs. In this
episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by James along with
Mathieu Blondin of the post-production team to learn more about
the Star Trek: Excelsior, its history, the challenges of
production, and the upcoming episode "At Death's Door."
