Press Release

Star Trek veterans such as Walter Kenig (Pavel Chekov), Tim Russ (Tuvok), Robert Picardo (the Doctor) and others are busy in pre-production of a professionally produced pilot episode for a suggested new online Star Trek series named Star Trek: Renegades, which will be faithful to the original Star Trek canon. The events of the series are placed a decade after Voyager's return from Delta Quadrant. When the pilot is complete, they'll present it to CBS in the hopes that it'll be picked up. They have also opened an Indiegogo campaign, seeking more funds from Star Trek fans to help make the production even more professional. They've already reached their primary funding goal.

Adrienne Wilkinson (Livia in Xena: Warrior Princess; Daughter in Star Wars: The Clone Wars) has joined the cast of Renegades to portray Captain Lexxa Singh, leader of the Renegades. Starfleet captains have a lot in common - they're courageous, bold, have a strong sense of duty, sometimes stoic, fiercely loyal to the Federation...Lexxa Singh is a different breed of Trek captain. A former member of Starfleet, she was always a non-conformist and continually flouted authority. This led to her being recruited outside of Starfleet for covert and deadly missions. As Captain of an elite squad, Lexxa is not bound by the normal restraints, nor does she want to be. She is daring and brash, with a chip on her shoulder - one that will keep her at odds not only with her crew, but also with those in charge. She is a direct descendant of Khan Noonien Singh (TOS; ST: II), and therefore has enhanced physical and mental abilities. She is well aware of the stigma her name and lineage brings, and has always strived to overcome it, but it continues to follow her and haunt her wherever she goes.
