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 |
