2: A History Channel Special

Prelude to Axanar.


Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. So says an
ancient Greek proverb, and such is what happened to Garth, the
legendary Fleet Captain who we first see in the Original Series
episode "Whom Gods Destroy." What events in Garth's life led to
this, and how did he become a man of Starfleet legend? This is
the story that the independent film Star Trek Axanar aims to
tell, and it all begins with the forthcoming short "Prelude to
Axanar."


In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by Axanar
creator and producer Alec Peters for an update on the project's
development, more information on the format of "Prelude to
Axanar" and the production timeline, and some exciting news about
casting, which includes the addition of Battlestar Galactica's
Michael Hogan to a cast that already includes Richard Hatch, J.G.
Hertzler, and Gary Graham, who is reprising his role as Soval
from Enterprise.
