7: Revisiting the Romulan War

Tommy Kraft and Marc Bowers talk Star Trek:
Horizon.


We know a great deal about the 23rd and 24th centuries, but our
exploration of the 22nd was unfortunately cut short. The
cancellation of Enterprise not only left behind a number of loose
threads from the series, but also key moments in Star Trek
history that a prequel should have explored.


Almost ten years after Enterprise left television, the
feature-length film Star Trek: Horizon aims to close one of those
gaps by telling the story of the famous Earth-Romulan War. Made
by fans in love with Star Trek and set during the Enterprise time
period, Horizon centers on The Coalition of Planets, a young
alliance of worlds led by Earth, that is at war with the Romulan
Empire. Desperate for a chance to gain the upper hand, the
Coalition forms an alliance with T’mar, a Romulan deserter, in
the hopes that she can provide valuable intelligence on her
former masters.


In the episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by writer,
director, and executive producer Tommy Kraft, and actor Marc
Bowers, who plays Commander Jackson Gates, first officer of the
NX-04 Discovery, to learn more about this story and how the film
is being put together.
