6	''[[http://startrekrenegades.com/home/ Star Trek: Renegades]]'' is an independent fan-funded and fan-supported project which aspired to be a series, but only released a pilot.
7
8	It was executive produced by Sky Conway and directed by ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' actor Creator/TimRuss. It aimed to be the first continuation of the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' timeline after ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', while featuring real ''Star Trek'' actors reprising their roles.
9
10	Set roughly ten years after ''Voyager'''s return to Earth, ''Renegades'' opens with Admiral Pavel Chekov (Creator/WalterKoenig) and Tuvok (Russ), who now heads Section 31, realizing that the Federation is facing a threat from within. Not knowing where else to turn, they hire an outlaw crew captained by the daughter of [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Khan Singh]] to undertake secret, off-the-books missions. The pilot episode has been released on Website/YouTube, available [[https://www.youtube.com/user/StarTrekRenegades here]].
11
12	Due to the regulations set forth by CBS and Paramount in June 2016, ''Star Trek: Renegades'' will be redubbed ''Renegades'' and will be moving forward as an original IP with its Star Trek elements removed.
13	----
14	!!''Star Trek: Renegades'' provides examples of:
15
16	* ActionGirl:
17	** Captain Lexxa Singh, the daughter of Khan, and genetically engineered human with enhanced strength and reflexes.
18	** Also T'Leah, the Romulan guard who twice saves a Starfleet officer from a would-be assassin with her bare hands.
19	* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:Admiral Paris is killed by Grant Imahara's character.]]
20	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Played straight, with the man who tries to warn Chekov "we can't trust anyone!"
21	* BoxedCrook: Lexxa Singh is introduced serving a life sentence in an Orion prison, approached by Tuvok with an offer for her release.
22	%%* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Chekov's niece losing her hand, and the truth about Fixer.]]
23	* CallBack:
24	** Though a continuation set after [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]], with most of the returning characters also being from VOY, ''Renegades'' in many ways harks back to [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries the Original Series]] with the new designs for the uniforms and Starfleet decor, Admiral Chekov, a Romulan and Andorian character, and of course the protagonist being Khan's daughter.
25	** Captain Alvarez's ship is the [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise U.S.S. Archer]]
26	** The Breen character, for ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''.
27	* CharacterFocus: The buxom Andorian in the low-cut top and the returning Trek alumni, especially Chekov. Shree in particular makes a lot of appearances in promotional imagery.
28	* ChewingTheScenery: Some of the acting is [[SoBadItsGood amusingly]] over the top, especially Icheb's angst and the big slow-motion final fight.
29	* ContinuityNod: The USS ''Archer'', named for ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'''s Captain Jonathan Archer.
30	%%* DarkActionGirl: Both Lexxa and T'Leah (in both their personalities and wardrobes)
31	%%* DarkIsNotEvil: Should be expected, given the series' premise
32	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Lexxa and T'Leah, yet again!
33	%%* DullSurprise: When they're not [[LargeHam hamming it up]], most of the cast is expressing this.
34	%%* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Lexxa's first fight scene, which ends with her revealing that she and her "opponent" are actually allies who rig the fights and split the winnings, establishing that she is a ''planner'' before a typical ActionGirl.
35	%%* {{Expy}}: Ronara, the snarky, Betazoid helmswoman engaging in [[BelligerentSexualTension romantic banter with a dark male character]], is suspiciously similar to Stadi, the [[EnsembleDarkhorse surprisingly popular bit character]] who died in [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS1E1Caretaker Caretaker]]
36	* FantasticRacism: Jarro, a Pah-Wraith worshiping Bajoran, not surprisingly isn't too tolerant toward the new Cardassian shipmate.
37	* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The BigBad hates the Federation for unclear reasons, has an unstoppable superweapon, and is physically powerful in one-on-one combat.
38	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Shree, the Andorian hacker, is an oversexed blue-skinned lady with a black leather getup and a penchant for (lesbian) BDSM.
39	* GuileHero: {{Subverted}} with Lexxa, who is introduced with this in mind but is outsmarted by a bunch of ape-men who live in caves and helpfully explain their evil plans. Her plan is basically to walk into the enemy cave base with a bunch of guns, with only a casual attempt at stealth.
40	* HellbentForLeather: One of the perks of a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' series where the main crew isn't Starfleet. Lexxa, Ragnar, T'Leah, and Shree all have some amount of leather in their outfits.
41	* InformedAbility: Lexxxa, allegedly an intelligent character and planner, attacks the bad-guy homeworld by just calmly walking in with guns. This predictably results in two deaths and [[NearVillainVictory the bad guys almost winning]].
42	* {{Jerkass}}: The LawfulStupid Federation Captain. Possibly {{lampshaded}}: his ship is named ''Archer'', after the infamously divisive star of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''.
43	%%* LargeHam: When they're not flatter than Kansas, the entire cast outside of Picardo, Russ, and Koenig falls squarely here.
44	%%* MrFanservice: Icheb, now grown, angsty and sporting facial hair, has become quite popular with female fans.
45	* MsFanservice: The Andorian, Shree, is clearly intended to be this, with her deep cleavage, leather outfits, and her first scene being a random lesbian sex scene, but many people find her to be too overtly sexualized to be attracted to.
46	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The series centers on a pirate crew captained by the outcast daughter of Khan Noonien Singh and including a disgraced scientist, a rogue former drone, a genetically-defective Betazoid, a Pah-Wraith-worshiping Bajoran, and more.
47	* ReflexiveResponse: T'Leah absentmindedly snaps a would-be assassin's neck when she could just as easily have captured him. When called out on the fact they needed to interrogate him, she blames "old habits".
48	* SmugSnake: Lexxa. Almost everything she does is accompanied by an oily smirk.
49	%%* SpicyLatina: Chasty Ballestros as the wooden Betazoid Ronara
50	%%* UnresolvedSexualTension: Ronara and Icheb
