The Gala celebration of Star Trek’s 40th Birthday organised by the Star Trek fan film group, "Tales of the Seventh Fleet", was a well-deserved success! Held at the Morris County Library, in New Jersey on September 23, it has had write ups in both The Daily Record, their local newspaper, and in The Star Ledger. Their third episode, "A Touch of Home" which was launched at the celebration, is now available for free download over the internet from their website and by BitTorrent. Catch them at the first TrekUnited Fan Film chat on Sep 30!

"Star Trek: Dark Armada" a fan film group drawn from fan clubs and gaming clans across The Netherlands and Belgium, has just released their pilot episode. Billed as their first experimental film, it never the less shows their passion and determination to create a creditable fan film. Written and produced by "Admiral" Robin Hiert, and a crew of friendly, motivated and fun-loving young (and young-at-heart) Star Trek fans. It also sports a musical score created especially for them by composer Justin R. Durban which gives the episode a real movie grandeur!

Borg War, the first movie length Star Trek machinima, finally premiered on Friday, September 8th on Machinima.com. The first episode became available for download from midnight PDT on the morning of the release and the film's creator, Geoffrey James, held a live forum (registration required) from 9pm Eastern afterward. Be prepared for the suspense though! In a breakthrough in distribution, Machinima.com, the largest machinima video distribution network on the internet with several hundred thousand downloads a month, is releasing the nine segments of the movie on successive Fridays at 6:00 p.m. PDT similar to a cable channel series.
To Boldy Go, a fan produced work of fiction based of Enterprise, has released its fourth episode, after a very long wait. To Boldly Go is an e-novel composed by three of our very own members, Captain_Hair, Cougar and Sevens. The latest installment of the novel can be found at the website. This extremely well composed series makes compelling reading, and any fans of Enterprise, who enjoy reading, will enjoy picking these up, and giving them a once over.

Star Trek: Aurora is a new animated Trek fan film written, directed and animated by Tim Vining that has sprung out of nowhere! The background and ship graphics, the animation of the figures - this is great virtual cinematography! The storyline is novel and engaging (sort of Firefly Trek!), which is character driven and atmospheric - real drama without being maudlin.
