The result is that the new ''Ares'' class ships are able to turn the tide against the D6 fleet instead of being shredded by the superior D7s. Kharn himself also does this, allowing his forces use "the strategy of least respect", purposely fighting in an inefficient manner to show contempt for their enemies. He notes in the documentary that this led to them squandering their initial momentum and advantage.

''Prelude to Axanar'' (AKA ''Star Trek: Prelude to Axanar'' and ''The Four Years War Part III: Prelude to Axanar'') is a 2014 fan-made short film directed by Christian Gossett and written by Christian Gossett and Alec Peters. Originally crowd-funded through {{Kickstarter}}, raising over $100,000 (they only asked for $10,000). Debuted on July 26, 2014, at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Set in the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' universe, the short film is made as a documentary of the Four Years War fought between the [[TheFederation United Federation of Planets]] and the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Klingon]] [[TheEmpire Empire]] some time prior to ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. The title refers to the Battle of Axanar, a pivotal battle in the war, which the short film builds up to. The historian John Gill (the guy who would later bring Nazism to a planet) interviews several characters on both sides of the war: Kharn (Klingon Supreme Warlord), Admiral Marcus Ramirez (Starfleet Commander-in-Chief), Admiral Samuel Travis (USS ''Hercules''), Captain Sonya Hernandez (USS ''Ajax''), Captain Kelvar Garth (AKA Garth of Izar, USS ''Ares''), and Soval (Vulcan ambassador).
The short film brings back such notable ''Star Trek'' alumni as Gary Graham (reprising his role of Soval from ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''), Creator/TonyTodd (originally played Worf's brother Kurn in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''; now cast as Admiral Ramirez), and J. G. Hertzler (originally played General/Chancellor Martok in ''Deep Space Nine''; now cast as Admiral Travis).
The interviews are overlaid with shots of speeches, starship construction, space battles, and diagrams, showcasing the Four Years War up to this point.
A full-feature film is currently in production called ''Star Trek: Axanar'', which has raised about $638,000 on Kickstarter (once again, much more than what was originally asked), partly thanks to Creator/GeorgeTakei publicly expressing interest in the film. Besides the above-mentioned returnees, the film is set to cast Garrett Wang (Harry Kim in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'') as a Klingon cruiser commander.

!!''Prelude to Axanar'' provides examples of:
* TheCaptain: Admiral Travis (he was a captain during the actual war), Captain Hernandez, and Captain Garth are the three most prominent Starfleet captains during the war.
* CoolShip: The ''Ares''-class cruisers are the first dedicated warships designed and built by Starfleet. They prove to be more than a match for the D6 battlecruisers, the current workhorses of the Klingon fleet, which were previously rolling over everything else the Federation had.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Near the end of the film, Admiral Ramirez asks his three most trusted and experienced captains to come up with a plan to hold off the Klingons while the new ''Constitution''-class heavy cruisers are completed. The plan Garth comes up with is [[InformedAttribute stated to be this trope]], although the details are left to the feature film. The only thing stated is that the chosen battleground is the Axanar system, where two of the newest ships are being built (the ''Constitution'' and the ''Enterprise'').
** Also, the maneuver Garth pulls off during the first engagement of the ''Ares''-class cruisers. Himself commanding the lead ship USS ''Ares'', he uses the distraction provided by Captain Hernandez's USS ''Ajax'' to gun at full impulse straight at a D6, something no other Starfleet captain would be stupid enough to do due to the fact that it leaves his ship vulnerable. In the documentary, Hernandez calls it "like a Klingon maneuver", while Garth himself merely states that he wanted to test if the ship really was as tough as the designers had claimed. She was. Totally unprepared for this, the D6 takes a pair of torpedoes right in the long "neck", blasting the ship in two. It's no wonder Admiral Travis calls Garth "that crazy Izarian son-of-a-bitch".
* DocumentaryEpisode: The whole short film is an in-universe documentary made by the noted historian John Gill made some time after the end of the Four Years War.
* LensmanArmsRace: At first, the Klingons dominate the battlefield with their D6 battlecruisers. Then Admiral Ramirez commissions the construction of the ''Ares''-class cruisers, the first dedicated Federation warships, which prove to be more than a match to the D6. In response, Kharn orders the design of the more advanced D7, which is supposed to be able to rip the ''Ares''-class cruisers to shreds. As a counter, Starfleet is in the process of finishing the construction on the first of the new ''Constitution''-class heavy cruisers. It's a race against time as to who can bring their ships into battle first.
* LetsGetDangerous: The early stages of the war do not go well for the Federation, to say the least. The Klingons are dominating at every turn, and nothing Starfleet throws at them works. It's not until Admiral Ramirez is appointed Commander-in-Chief that he is determined to turn the tide by showing the Klingons that no one fucks with the Federation.
* NicknamingTheEnemy: After the introduction of the ''Ares''-class cruisers, the Klingon start giving out nicknames to their captains, whom they now see as {{Worthy Opponent}}s. Captain Kelvar Garth becomes "Garth of Izar", which he admits is not the worst name a Klingon can call you with, while Captain Sonya Hernandez gets called the far less flattering "Queen Bitch Whore of the Federation".
* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: When interviewed, Soval regrets that the Vulcan diplomatic delegation has little room to maneuver, as the Klingons see the Federation as weak and unable to defend itself, so they see no reason to negotiate.
* WorthyOpponent: The Klingons finally start seeing the Federation as this after the introduction of the ''Ares''-class cruisers. Specifically, they see the three most decorated captains (Travis, Hernandez, and Garth) as this trope.
