Star Trek: Phase II (formerly known as Star Trek: New Voyages)

Co-creators James Cawley and Jack Marshall aimed to complete the original series' five-year mission, with actors cast as Kirk, Spock and the rest of the Enterprise crew on an exact replica of the original bridge set. One episode, "To Serve All My Days," was written by D. C. Fontana, story editor on the original Star Trek series, and featured Walter Koenig guest-starring as an older version of Pavel Chekov, his character from the original series. Several other actors from the original Trek series have also now signed on to appear in future episodes. George Takei reprised his role of Hikaru Sulu in the third episode, "World Enough and Time", joining the original Yeoman Janice Rand, Grace Lee Whitney. Fan Films Quarterly listed New Voyages as one of the ten most pivotal moments in fan film history in its Summer 2006 issue, and it has been reported on by National Public Radio. New Voyages also won TV Guide's 2007 Online Video Award for best sci-fi Webisode. On February 16, 2008, during an appearance at the Farpoint Science Fiction Media Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, James Cawley announced that the series would shed the New Voyages moniker and become known as Star Trek: Phase II to reflect the transition between the original series and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Star Trek: Encarta

Star Trek: Encarta began in early 2000 with Star Trek: Encarta The Motion Picture, and spawned three sequel film productions: Star Trek Encarta: Destiny's Advocate, Star Trek Encarta: Condemned, and Star Trek Encarta: Dark Hope. The fan film series Star Trek: Encarta stars Ryan Webber as Captain Jonathan Lynch, Robert Ford as Ensign William Tate, Chris Elliott as Commander Gregory McNight, and Sara Zimmerman as Lt. Sara Ranks. Ryan Webber has directed and helmed the projects; Webber and Executive Producer Jeremy Wolgemuth currently lead the saga into the final frontier and back. The films are based upon Star Trek: The Next Generation era, circa Star Trek: Insurrection/Star Trek: Voyager. The starship USS Encarta continues the legacy of Star Trek, boldly going where none have gone before. Encarta offers a new look into the final frontier through the eyes of visionaries Ryan Webber, Jeremy Wolgemuth, and Robert William Ford. The film saga to date has won 12 local film festivals and has been revamped to target larger markets.
