'When Starfleet leaves... the real mission begins."
"Diplomatic Relations" is a script-based series set in the larger "Star Trek" universe, and a direct spin-off of "Courageous". It focuses on the staff and crew, both civilian and Starfleet alike, that work out of the Federation Embassy on the planet of Tahn'Los. It is an adaption of a fan-produced audio drama series made by myself that was set in the universe of a successful fan-film production, callled "Hidden Frontier". The original HF series ran for 7 seasons, and spawned three more fanfilm successors, "Odyssey", "Helena Chronicles" and "Federation-One", while also teaming up with the Scotland-based "Starship Intrepid" fanfilm and doing several crossover movies and vignettes. In later years, as the filming side wound down, "Federation-One" transitioned into the audio realm, alongside new series "Henglaar, M.D." All these series operate within their own interpretation of Gene Roddenberry's 'Star Trek' universe. After much soul-searching, I realized that while I was still passionate about telling the stories of these characters, I no longer felt any real pull towards making audio stories myself. So, I am currently in the process of adapting the entire complete season of scripts into a 'virtual series' format. Since it now exists in it's own original continuity, it is undergoing several major changes to characters and timelines, while still maintaining it's own individual touches and quirks. Stay tuned for more changes to the site, and a release date for the new virtual adaption of the premiere, "Rapprochment". |
