We all know that Star Trek TOS was canceled after 3 seasons. However, it was supposed to be on a 5 year mission. So what happened in the last 2 years? Well, that's what "Star Trek - New Voyages" is about....

Paramount is looking the other way with "New Voyages" since it's not supposed to be making any profits. In fact, Paramount has acknowledged "New Voyages" in its failed "Enterprise" TV series by naming one of the ships after the creator of "New Voyages". The new 5 act full-length "episodes" can only be downloaded, free of charge (non-profit). The behind-the scenes crew include many Star Trek production personnel, including an Oscar-winning makeup artist and computer graphics effect engineer. You may also recognize the face of one of the "special guests". In 2 years, this grass-root production has only yielded 3 completed episodes, with a fourth one coming along.
I have no connection to this production, other than reading about it in the current issue of "Wired" magazine.
