The long awaited pilot to the fan series, Star Trek: Phoenix launched tonight.  The brain child of Executive Producer Leo Roberts, ST: Phoenix takes place some 40 years after the events in Star Trek: Nemesis and is comprised of more the 150 volunteers throughout the Seatle, Washington area.

The pilot episode, titled "Cloak & Dagger", takes place in 2422, one year into the maiden voyage of the Phoenix  The story begins after a major attack on the Phoenix and the crew attempts to rescue an away team on the remote planet Katassii Prime.  Little do they know, the rescue team will need saving from the secrets the perilous world posses.

Now that we can see the taillights on J.J. Abrams's "Star Trek", we here at Subspace Communique need a new Trek fix.  Sure there are comic books and of course we could dive into the various series novelizations, but really, we're cheap.  All kidding aside, we would love to provide an outlet for aspiring Star Trek writers to post their work on the web.
