Ever wonder about all the jumpsuit-clad civilians the Enterprise encounters in Star Trek? Clearly, the producer of Star Trek: Aurora does. Set in the TOS era, Aurora follows the two-woman crew of a small merchant vessel, whose adventures rival that of the Enterprise itself.
The first Aurora episode became available (in its entirety) late last year, and is a very impressive work considering its one-man production crew. The plot includes plenty of back story on Aurora's captain, a trip to an alternate reality, and of course, a look at a side of the Federation only hinted at previously. This entire 'pilot film' is available for viewing on the Aurora website and is highly recommended. Don't let the fact that this is an animated/CG feature scare you away -- it's a very high quality production and most definitely worth watching.
A second episode is currently in production, with a rough segment available for viewing on the aforementioned webpage. It's looking like Harry Mudd, the infamous con-man from several episodes of TOS, returns, and we all know what that means: trouble...
Give Star Trek: Aurora a try and see what adventure awaits hidden beyond the final frontier. After all, we can't let Kirk, Spock, and McCoy have all the fun :-)
