Our Story

Star Trek: Lexington (New Beginnings) is a fan film series taking place in the Star Trek: The Motion Picture era; more specifically, after the events seen in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (2286-2287), following the crew of the USS Lexington (NCC-1709-A), a Odysseus-class starship.

Star Trek: Lexington was originally conceived as a series of short stories. The first short story, entitled "A trip to the past", was written on 15 August 1986, a few months before Star Trek: The Next Generation aired. The decision to make Lexington a live-action series was made in August 2004 when Star Trek: New Voyages premiered with their episode "Come What May".

An original pilot was commissioned and filmed in 2007-2008 in Birmingham, Alabama but due to a hard drive failure, the majority of the footage was forever lost.  The producers, after a hiatus to take stock of the situation and train on new hardware and software coming available, decided to recently restart the series, as most of the original cast and crew had left the production. To honor their work, Lexington producers decided to recast and crew, going so far as to creating a some new characters and use a new ship. The new ship is a semi-canon Odysseus-class starship, designed by Todd Gunther and James Snaith.

The production is currently based in Birmingham, Alabama and you can be a part of the project with us by becoming a supporter on Indiegogo! We are also offering a variety of really cool rewards, which you can find on the Indiegogo web page to the right.  So welcome aboard the U.S.S. Lexington and be a part of this exciting Star Trek adventure!


The Impact

Many of our volunteers are local to the Birmingham area and our goal is to have anyone willing to work on a fan film be given the chance to do so.  100% of any and all donations will go toward the production; no profit will ever be made from our production.

Paramount/CBS is aware of our production and that we are following all the rules they have laid down in regards to using the copyrighted Star Trek names and designs.
