- On a mission of peace, the Starship Exeter is drawn into a battle of political intrigue and espionage. Who will survive? Can even Captain Garrovick's own crew be trusted?
Shot in the 1990s and completed in late 2002 this was arguably the first "viral" Trek fanfilm, downloads of which famously overloaded the mac.com servers in that pre-CZcams era.

FAQ:
Q: Shouldn't Andoria be frozen?
A: This was made before the "Enterprise" series suggested the planet was icy. Let's just say the planet has a long elliptical orbit and freezes over for 60 Earth years out of 120.
Q: When does this story take place?
A: After "The Omega Glory". The ship was decontaminated and re-crewed.
Q: Why is the Exeter NCC-1706?
A: That's what it was in the Star Fleet Technical Manual. TOS-R put a different number on ship 5 years later
Q: Is Captain J.Q. Garrovick here related to the captain Garrovick of the Farragut mentioned and the Lt. Garrovick seen in "Obsession"?
A: Our Captain Garrovick is the nephew of the Farragut Captain Garrovick and cousin to the Lt. Garrovick who appears in "Obsession".
Sounds like the frozen times on Andoria are even worse than winters in Minnesota! 🤔 😳
Kirk destroyed the USS Exeter.. There was nothing left to decon.
Thank you all for making this excellent homage to TOS. It was a great treat to watch something that brought back those feelings from long ago, and I wanted to express my deep gratitude for the hard work that went into this. I hope we will get more adventures of Starship Exeter! If not, this fan wanted to thank you all so much for this anyway.
Remember…critics always make you stronger. This is an awesome production. Great story and special effects. Love seeing the starships fly even if it’s not the “Enterprise”. Congratulations to cast and crew!
I think we need more Star Trek Exeter!
Episode 2 was really good, _The Tressaurian Intersection_.
I almost didn’t watch the episode I did. Glad I did. I had no idea it was even a thing. Thanks to all those who put in the time, the money snd the love of Star Trek into these episodes!
Very much the feeling of FANS of the original Star Trek - this comes over well in this episode. A great job from the cast and crew, all things considered.
I've just discovered all these fan films and I can't be more pleased. I especially like the fact many have developed their own crew and ship with the Star Trek look and feel, rather than simply trying to recreate the Enterprise, Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the crew. Nothing seems to satisfy my sci-fi appetite quite like Star Trek. Babylon 5 was close. Firefly actually did. I loved that show, but didn't even know about it until the movie came out. I'm sorry no-one ever picked that one up and ordered more episodes. But I'm going to have a lot of fun exploring all these ST fan films. It's like finding lost treasure. I hope to find more cameo appearances of ST cast in some of them.

Star Trek Continues is good
Love this for what it is, a fan film. Any and ALL haters ... let me see you do better, no excuses. First time viewer of this show, Loved the Chang Tie in !!!! Best actor goes to Cutty when all said and done. Entire show was likeable. Must say though that Barney Monster with Gojira voice was fun, and ending humor scene was spot on. Again ... good job to ALL !!!!!!
The film misses the mark by not having any relationship between the charactors. They don't even look at each other. But good sets and everything else. Shame about the relationships, and the story ...
Enthusiastic fans perhaps "actors" no
They're not claiming to be actors, just fans doing their best.
@@Trev359 the story is too confrontationalist for an OS episode. Its not Star Wars.... it's OS ST...
@@craigme2583 No, it's a more action-oriented spinoff of that show Nimoy was on before Mission: Impossible
My hat off to everyone involved in this project, you guys rock 👍. The Star Trek universe could use more people like you. Hollywood has lost its way and dedicated fans like you are what is keeping it alive. God bless you all.
Thanks for the kind words. Check out The Tressaurian Intersection if you haven't already.
Exeter is the best fan made, so close to tos. Great story, believable acting, period production complete with rubbery monsters - what's not to like??
Check out Star Trek Continues
I really enjoy these. My only complaint is that there aren't more episodes.
Great episode, I loved the last Conversation it brought a smile to my face, classic Star Trek.
Who else is here in 2024 wishing they would make more!!! This is the best. It feels like looks like sounds like I'm in the '60s!
This episode is positively, absolutely, wholly excellent, and well done. Thank you for making this.
The fucking teaser to this fan film is better than an entire episode of Star Trek Discovery...
How bout a holographic bathouse 😊
God, I love your guys' stuff. I always will. J.Q. Garrovick was a great Captain, with a fantastic crew. You all did a wonderful job with what you made. The set design had me constantly trying to figure out how you did it, where, and how you managed to make it fit inside a building. CHEERS!
These fan-made films are great. Other episodes of the Exeter and Farragut are entertaining 😊
The original background music makes it so authentic.
Loved hearing the Star Trek Hand-To-Hand Combat Anthem! These are awesome. How did I not know about these films before!?!?!
Wow! I've recently been getting into the Star Trek fan shows, and I am very pleased with Starship Exeter. I'm hoping there's more of this show out there than what I've seen so far on this channel.
From what I understand Robert DuBois, there are only two episodes. They had planned on a 3rd but for some reason they bailed out on future episodes. I wish there were have been more also.
After fighting with Tressaurians and Tholians at the same time, anyone would want a break!
@@TheStarshipExeter 4 years is long enough. Back to work! ***motions with phaser towards the fan-film slave camp***
I actually watched the 2nd film before this, and they are superb homages, both of them, to what inspired us initially, from seeing Star Trek so many years ago. Well done, you!
Of all the Star Trek fan film series, this was, by far, the best. It FELT like TOS. It felt like they cared, like the really understood TOS. Because they set it on a different ship it did not feel like a parody or pantomime or a cheap copy, the way so many of the fan films set on the Enterprise felt like. Too bad they hung it up after 2 episodes. They could have done so much more.
You would like _Star Trek Continues_
@@pwnmeisterage Idk. While high praise goes to everyone involved, it bit off more than it could chew, trying to look slick and sexy on a shoestring budget - which never works. This feels truer to the production values of TOS, so the low budget is never compromised.
Thank you for the upload is awesome !
Thank you, I enjoyed the production and am looking forward watching more of your work.
This may not have been perfect, and a little inconsistent regarding Andorria, but I thought it was a great story. For a fan made film, it was very good.
The best Trek fanfilm series. It was tragic that they ran into so many issues. Could we Kickstart another episode?
Excellent! Thank you!
This is complete awesomesauce. You guys did a wonderful job here ! Here's hoping you get involved in future episodes if not for this show to be part of the production crew for upcoming Star Trek movies in the theater 2020 and beyond.
Great episode.
Only kind, happy, thoughtful, and true fans of the original will appreciate the effort and outcome of this video. Kudos to all involved for creating such a wonderful piece.
This definitely has the feel of ST:TOS I assume that this is set before the events of Kirk and company. Ron Tracy was in command of the Exeter in "The Omega Glory". For those who commented on the registry numbers, the Constellation's registry number in "The Domesday Machine" came about because the model of the Constellation used in filming was an Enterprise AMT model kit (I had one back in the 1990s) with the Enterprise registry number rearranged to make NCC-1017.
Amazing, the best sequel to the Original Series I've seen.
You did a beautiful job on your set design
I'm glad Holly Guess had a lot more screen time in the next episode! ☺ ❤
For all of its faults, it’s still very faithful to the spirit of the original series.
Ace ,these video are awesome, much better than cbs stars trek . True successor of the orgin series. Thanks
Love it! Granted the production quality is dated, but I hold it in the same regard as older episodes of Dr. Who. -- Charming, captures the imagination. Long Live Trek!!
I think the 2nd episode really captures the feel of TOS more faithfully in its cinematography style. Still a good first effort but honed better in _Tressaurian_.
Terrific job all. Very enjoyable.
I enjoyed the two episodes that I watched. It's unfortunate that they were unable to make more.
Outstanding. I forgot I was watching a fan made production.
So fun. Super great job all around.
Great video. Thanks for uploading this video.
Thanks for watching!
Your welcome.
Great Episode !!!
Really enjoy the fan based productions... this is well done Thank you very much
I like this. Although there was great improvement from this episode to the Tressarian Intersection which was really quite good. They even made their own theme. Marvelous work, I think.
Ok the purple dinosaur just has to be an intentional Barney reference. And if it is, kudos! I liked the other episode you guys made slightly more. But this is still really good and I’m sad there’s no more.
I think the best way to look at fan-films is like watching someone’s home DND game. They’re not professional actors or writers. They’re just dorks having a good time. That being said, the competency of the filmmaking in these Exeter episodes is sometimes legit impressive. I like these way more than any of the more recent fan projects that brought in celebrities. Those always feel like they’re trying to be something they’re not. Where as this feels like it’s saying “hey folks, do you like fun? Well we’re having some over here! If you want you can come with!”
Which feels like, you know, the right vibe to have.
Like a big, angry Barney!
I am a big fan of the original series, wish we had more of the original star fleet ships stories. :) i also build models of the ships, and collect trek costumes, and props.
Nice episode! I like these actors a lot...
True I just discovered them
The sets are amazing.
Well done! The acting is partly a bit amateurish (e. g. the female commander looks more bored than excited with legs crossed all the time), but the story was very good and sets, costums and music just fit. Really a good fan film production, big thanks to the team!
Her acting is so bad it is likable!
This is amazing!!!
Excellent! And superb camera work!
That's how i like star treck!
Would love to be in one of these fan films, I mean who wouldn’t?
I love this !!!
wish that there were more of these!!!!
Search for Star Trek Continues. Far better than this.
Doesn't it make you want to go home where you can watch Star Trek on a real TV God how I miss the America I grew up in everything sucks nowadays it was so much better when we were kids the worst thing that can happen to us
Hooray, one video!
This is Awesome! Well done indeed... The only thing that would have made it better if, during the chase scene on the surface, Capt. Garrovick had time to fashion a rudimentary lathe... But seeing the Kirk Hammer (double fisted blows) more than made up for that... Hope you all had as much fun making it as I did watching it...
Brilliant, i wish there were more.
I just saw in other comments that this was actually the first episode of Exeter and Tressaurian Intersection was the second.In light of this I saw EXCELLENT turn around and Exeter is definitely a hit because like I said in my other post this was the "Spock's Brain" of Exeter and Tressaurian Intersection was their City on the Edge of Forever and better than MANY episodes of Star Trek TOS. keep producing them guys. I'm a HUGE FAN!
The sound effects are excellent, just how I remember them. Good job! 👍
Klingons are not suppose to be bald, and andorians did not have long hair, nor a hippie shag. Still though I give this fan film trek series kudos. It captures the TOS 60s show like no other. Well done.
The Klingon in this fan-film is suppose to be a younger version of Chang from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, who was bald in the 1991 movie.
There isn't any reason that a Klingon can't be bald, nor is there any reason that an Andorian can't grow out his hair. All members of the same race and/or species do not look identical.
Not bad. Good acting for the most part. Might have made a good television series. Thanks for sharing.
They nail it in Their story The Tressaurian Intersection.Even Star Trek Continues and New Voyages early episodes were at this experimental level.I enjoyed this anyway.
Awesome show
Oh no... they just phazered Barney🦕
He's been asking for it for centuries.
Finally the universe is free of the purple menace!
Now I hope they find that blue bundle of annoyance Sid and my 🍪 will be safe forever! 😁👌
I love this stuff.
+Frank Carey You and me both!
that looked like a lot of fun to make
...nice job on this TV show.
Absolutely loved this@
Cheers!
campy, fun to watch...thanks
Good job!
These fans should be involved in leading Star Trek spinoffs. There Paramount Paramount efforts lost the show's essence
Great episode ! I’m curious, Where were the outside scenes filmed?
Andoria. Minnesota province.
“Untouched by the eyes of man” 😅😅😅
Very good effort this; I just found that phrase funny.
GOOD STUFF LADZ. GOOD STUFF
Epic!
Top notch! Even the font is correct...
I’ve just started watching this video but I’m already highly impressed with the quality of the video and the acting.
My kudos and a compliments to the makers. I love all things Star Trek and I’m pleased to add this body of work to my faves. ❤❤❤❤
Edited to add that after watching the entire episode I was surprised to see the original publishing date was in 2002! Now I’m even more impressed. I hope the fellas responsible for this have gone on to bigger projects. I’m delighted by the great work I’ve seen here. Great job, y’all!! Fantastic!
Cool episode.
That was fun 🤘
Very brave of you to put such a 'Giant' Monster on screen
Seriously? People hate this. That is just... Well, hate? I love yall, your hard work and artistry. Star Trek... Love it too. Standing O from the Airstream.
great film! loved the 60s "land of the lost" dinosaur cameo.
This is so good!!
Jornada nas estrelas sempre será o máximo episódio muito lindo 👏👏👏
gostei muito destas series , de brasil i love you !!
This episode now needs a remastered special edition. So its special effects are on par with the second episode; The Tressaurian Intersection.
Nah, we're not fans of such revisionism. It is what it is and to our minds its preserved in amber. :)
In an age where you can have more than one version of anything i find that very odd man? But anyways thank you and congrats on you guys (& gals) making an excellent fan series though.
Sorry you lot never got to do the third story; The Atlantis Invaders! Might've been another successful fan endeavor for you all.
was a bit cheesy for the monster yall out there putting down the dinosaur in this but have we all forgotten what the gorn looked like on TOS? that thing you all complain about i found the most star trek TOS part of it for me actually.... and a question to the producers will there be more or are these two all we get?
"Captain, Haley's been vaporized." Great quote.
It's like early dr who :^)
Mike Agreed, it is like old Dr. Who. Until DW got better over the years, Other actors playing the main character brought their own unique style and made the show more exciting.
Andoria is an ice planet. Oh well! First fan film. Exeter logo is sharp. What real Klingons look like before they turned into Hells Angels, Hippie lizards.
Andoria was not established as an ice planet when this film was shot. In fact, according to a note attached to the script for Journey to Babel, it was the Tellarites who were supposed to be from the cold planet.
+@@TheStarshipExeter Interesting. The Andorian light blue skin always made me think they were from a very cold place. Commander Shran in Star Trek Enterprise would have made a great Starship commander in TOS yrs. The Andorians much like the Klingons and Romulans were a warrior species too. However they behaved more like space Vikings than dictators and military conquerers. Thanks for the info.
The Andorian dude is a trip.
It’s A purple Dinosaur! Barny
Well done for a fan film! Although the Lexington is NCC-1709
Michael Weir I think when they were making this production, they were trying to do what the producers of TOS were doing on a low budget. A lot of shots of the Enterprise model were reused for orbiting scenes, flyby scenes, etc. In fact, if you were to look at the original production of “The Ultimate Computer,” you will find that the group of four ships which were supposed to play war games with the Enterprise were actually the exact same Enterprise model just copied and pasted into a single shot to make it look like four ships were traveling in formation.
In retrospect, the producers of Starship Exeter were doing the same thing here, and they were probably hoping that the model’s registry number and name would not be that noticeable from a certain distance.
It wasn't in TOS. This film was shot a decade before TOS-R retconned the starship numbers.
Well done period! I'd take this over that STD garbage any day of the week.
Governor Kinthmus does summer stock each year. He was the lead in The Birdcage.
Chang from ST VI?
Well, he says. "The game's afoot" gets smacked in the eye with a stick... you tell us!
❤ 🖖!!! Well done . Great fun tx !
Um... Andoria is an Ice World... and not a planet but a moon orbiting a planet.
I suspect it's a matter of timing. This came out in 2002 so was probably written before Enterprise hashed out the back story of Andoria. I could be wrong but I don't think Andoria was established as the moon of a gas giant until the Enterprise series.
Not bad for a first episode. A little rough, but that is to be expected considering how long a go it was done. Captain Garrovick needs a little more practice at Kirk's jumping front kick though !
