  • Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space”
    Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space” After Star Trek Catan was so well received, and as many of you asked us to take this joint venture of the two franchises Catan and Star Trek even further towards the “Final Frontier,” we thought long and hard about what kind of game expansion you would enjoy. As we knew that a lot of players liked our Catan Geographies™ maps so much, which take the whole Settlers of Catan experience towards a real map to put settlements in, we thought: Let us take Star Trek Catan into a “real” region of space to put our little NCC-1701 spaceships in. The crucial question was: Is there a region of space sufficiently “real” inside the Star Trek – The Original Series time period? After a bit of research, we discovered this wonderful map titled “The Explored Galaxy” over at the Memory Alpha wiki. As it turned out, this was “as real as it could get,” as it had been first shown hanging on a wall in none other than Captain James T. Kirk’s quarters in the Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country motion picture (and subsequently in various episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation). Every true Star Trek fan knows that this particular map depicts a lot of the known and beloved locations shown in The Original Series of the 60s, and some of those from The Animated Series of the 70s. We took great effort to investigate and cross-reference all these depicted celestial bodies with their respective episodes. © CATAN GmbH - Page 1 We then added a couple of planets that were not actually shown on this map but that we would really want to have in our game, and tried to pinpoint their locations according to mostly in-canon and sometimes semi-canon sources.

  • Mind-Sifter Salmon Pages.Fdx
    "MIND SIFTER" STAR TREK PHASE II Introduction from our screenwriter Rick Chambers: I have many great memories related to "Mind-Sifter," from the moment I was asked to create the teleplay from Shirley's magnificent story to the long hours and unflagging enthusiasm of the shoot. One memory that's especially dear to me is linked to the memorial service. While I was working on the teleplay in December 2013, my mother was dying. She was in hospice as I wrote the chapel scene and passed away as I finished the script. So the words I gave to McCoy, about the need to mourn, how it's part of life, and how we move on from grief and despair to hope, all were themes I was dealing with personally at the time. Then, when we shot the scene months later, and Jeff Bond delivered that powerful performance, I was in tears because those words were so right, so true. They resonate in the next scene, too, when Kirk makes his escape from the Klingons ; with his life seemingly about to end, he finds that window of hope, where "grace will lead me home," as the song goes at that moment he leaps through the Guardian. All of this was very meaningful for me personally -- and, I hope, meaningful for those who watch the episode. We shot all asylum shots at Ticonderoga High School. Our producer, Rob Mauro did extensive research and the architecture is period correct! TEASER FADE IN: 1 INT. ASYLUM HALLWAY--NIGHT 1 A dimly lit hallway, old and rough at the edges, a facility operating on a shoestring.

I’m sure you have already discovered, as I have, that this event is truly a unique amalgamation of all the things that made Star Trek a phenomenon. My own small contribution to this legendary story has continued to be a source of great pride to me during my career, and although I have been fortunate enough to have many other projects to satisfy the artist in me, I have nevertheless always felt a deep and visceral connection to the show. But there are reasons why this never- ending story has endured. I have always believed that this special connection to Star Trek we all enjoy comes from the positive picture the stories consistently envision.

  • 1 the Y2K Bug Fears Prove to Be Groundless. Shannon O‟Donnell
    2000 The Y2K bug fears prove to be groundless. Shannon O‟Donnell convinces Henry Janeway to close his bookstore so that construction of the Millennium Gate can move forward. LeVar Raymond was born. The International Space Station is inaugurated this year. 2001 January 1st: Groundbreaking for the Millennium Gate. September 11th: A massive terrorist attack is launched against the United States of America, destroying the World Trade Center and seriously damaging the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Thousands of people die in the attacks, one of whom is a firefighter whose firefighter‟s axe will become a treasured family heirloom, eventually coming into the possession of Domenica Corsi. Shaun Christopher was prevented from boarding one of the planes which crashed into the World Trade Center by Gary Seven. As a result, he survived to command the first manned mission to Saturn aboard USS Lewis & Clark in 2020, a pivotal event in the history of human space travel. 2002 Nomad, Humanity‟s first true interstellar probe, designed by Jackson Roykirk, is launched by NASA. In 2153, the only map of early 21st century Detroit in the database of the NX-01 Enterprise will come from this year. 2003 On January 29th, US President George W. Bush gives his State of the Union Address. He speaks about his plans to remove Iraq‟s leader Saddam Hussein from power, introducing hydrogen cars, abortion and fighting AIDS in Africa. A contemporary news article about this event by Jake Tapper appeared in the Daniels‟ 31st century database. Lieutenant McMillan was scheduled in 1999 to be the co-pilot on a joint mission between NASA and the Europeans for a four month tour on the International Space Station that began in 2003.
