The Story of Star Trek: Axanar

“Axanar” takes place 21 years before the events of “Where no Man Has Gone Before”, the first Kirk episode of the original Star Trek.  Axanar is the story of Garth of Izar, the legendary Starfleet captain who is Captain Kirk’s hero.  Kirk himself called Garth the model for all future Starfleet Officer’s.  Garth charted more planets than any other Captain and was the hero of the Battle of Axanar, the story of which is required reading at the academy.  This is that story.

“Axanar” tells the story of Garth and his crew during the Four Years War, the war with the Klingon Empire that almost tore the Federation apart.  Garth’s victory at Axanar solidified the Federation and allowed it to become the entity we know in Kirk’s time.

It is the year 2245, four years into the war with the Klingons.(2)

 From our favorite Klingon General, Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica).

Well, what a day in the makeup chair getting a mold cast for my Klingon character Kharn. So glad that Alec and Chris have brought on board their AXANAR production some very gifted professionals and they made the process relatively painless. Made me appreciate what some of those very familiar characters we all love in the Trek universe went through to bring us their wonderful performances. AXANAR is moving forward with great energy because of the love and support of all you amazing fans out there and you have no idea how much your help is appreciated. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Keeping the faith!(3)

Here's an Amazing New Development just posted yesterday to the Star Trek Axanar Facebook page. I think this is totally amazing!!!! Lets see how many more BSG stars they will add to the new Star Trek Film.

The Axanar team is very proud to announce that veteran actress Kate Vernon, known best for her role as Ellen Tigh in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, has joined the cast as Sonya Alexander a hot shot Starfleet captain.

Director Christian Gossett and I have been working hard to develop a strong female captain for the final battle. We in fact wrote this role for Kate after meeting her for the first time last spring at Wonder Con in Anaheim. We wanted a strong, tough, aggressive female captain who could go toe to toe with any other Starfleet captain. Sonya Alexander is second only to Garth in the number of Klingon ships destroyed in the Four Years War.

Our meeting with Kate this week went fantastic, and she is looking forward to defining this character in a way that will make her not only extremely capable, but a lot of fun.

Katee “Starbuck” Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica, Longmire) April's horror thriller Oculus, starring Brenton Thwaites,  Karen Gillan and Katee Sackhoff is set to have us at the edge of our seats April 11^th 2014.(1)

Katee Sackhoff was interviewed by {C} Magazine. This is one of Katee’s remarks about the film, “Oculus is such an interesting new script in my mind. I think that it’s a different kind of horror movie in a sense that once you see the movie you will walk out and think, ‘Wow its’ such a simple idea but yet so terrifying.”(2) If you’re a Katee Sackhoff fan, Oculus is a must see film. I for one will be at my local cinema on April 11^th

In 2001, a team of Microsoft workers had spent many hours creating the new Xbox. The team was stuck in Redmond, WA 15 minutes from Seattle all winter long. When spring finally arrived, they decided they needed a break from their busy schedule. Some members of the group were motorcycle riders. One Friday a dozen of them played hookey from the job and went riding together. There’s a lot of beautiful farmland and long rolling back roads along Puget Sound that’s close to Seattle. They took a 90 mile ride and ended up at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

After spending some time at the tulip fields, they rode to LaConner, Washington to have lunch. LaConner is a nice town located along the Swinomish Slough. They had lunch outside overlooking the water. It was a beautiful spot with lots of activity taking place on the water in front of them. A couple of seaplanes took off and fishing boats slowly made their way past as they ate their lunch that day. From Swinomish Slough they took the long way back on Rt 20 over Deception Pass which happens to be one of the most scenic spots in the Pacific Northwest. They had such a great time that they decided to do it the following year. The rest is history, each year the group grew with the original group inviting family and friends.

The ride had so many motorcycles; the Tulalip Tribal Police provided escort for the riders and closed intersections at many intersections on the route so large packs of riders could stay together.(1)

Here’s the part Battlestar Galactica fans will appreciate. The last few years, Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer have joined the ride which has drawn even more motorcycle riders to the event. It costs as little as $25 dollars to register for the event or you can pay as much as $500 dollars (10 Total). A couple special perks of the $500 pre-registration fee is a special Cast & Crew hosted dinner the night before the run with the Celebrities attending the event. Also the 10 $500 dollar level riders receive an 8.5 x 11 Acting Outlaws/Tulip Ride limited and numbered poster signed by Katee and Tricia.
