Michael Hogan: Star Trek: Axanar: (8-31-2014) Starring as Captain Robert April. Also Starring Richard Hatch cast as Klingon commander Kharn.(1)

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)

12578053071?profile=original12578053669?profile=originalHere'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 11th 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 11th

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.

"Attention Tiger's Attention"

OK, you heard the CAG. The Cylons will stop at nothing to destroy the Raven and the Fleet. Our squadron is up for CAP. This will be a squadron CAP not just one flight. We are acting as a decoy, it's our specialty to stick our necks out for our crew mates. We will be flying with standard ordinance. The whole Raven Airwing will be in the launch tubes and waiting in line to launch on a moments notice. They will be armed to the "TEETH" with everything they can carry including Nukes.

As the CAG put it, anything can and possibly will happen out there. We hit the Chrome Headed Tin Men hard last time and they're out for BLOOD any way they can get it.

Our squadron will form up into our Finger Four Formation and destroy anything we encounter!!!! Any Questions?

OK we'll launch from the port tubes in 15 minutes,

Mission Briefing:

"Attention Raven Airwing Attention"

(The Raven PA comes to life with the voice of Col Leonidas CAG of Ravens Airwing....)

Pilots!!!
  According To CDF Intel, The Cylons Are Going To Attempt To Use Biological Warfare Against The Raven(Obviously, We've Been Hitting Them Where It Hurts)!
  Now, Word Down The Pipe Is They Are Going To Try To Spoil The Raven's 3rd Anniversary Celebration(HA! Fat chance!)
  There Will Be A Large CAP On Saturday Night: The Spartans, Tigers,And Hammers;We Will Be Skids Up Saturday Night At  2200 Hrs,  Anything Can Happen, So Have Your Spurs On, And Your Heads On The swivel!!!

That is all, each squadron's briefing will continue, Good Hunting Ravens!!!!

Col Leonidas,CAG

"Attention Tiger's Attention"

OK, you heard the CAG. The Cylons will stop at nothing to destroy the Raven and the Fleet. Our squadron is up for CAP. This will be a squadron CAP not just one flight. We are acting as a decoy, it's our specialty to stick our necks out for our crew mates. We will be flying with standard ordinance. The whole Raven Airwing will be in the launch tubes and waiting in line to launch on a moments notice. They will be armed to the "TEETH" with everything they can carry including Nukes.

As the CAG put it, anything can and possibly will happen out there. We hit the Chrome Headed Tin Men hard last time and they're out for BLOOD any way they can get it.

Our squadron will form up into our Finger Four Formation and destroy anything we encounter!!!! Any Questions?

OK we'll launch from the port tubes in 15 minutes,

Good Hunting!!!!!

SO SAY WE ALL! ! ! ! !

Mission Details:

This is how the mission unfolds Saturday night.

The Flying Tiger's launch to begin their CAP. Our Dradis screens are quickly lit up with Colonial and Cylon transponders. Two Cylon Heavy Raiders (known as Turkey's) are escorting one of our shuttles.  The Turkey's are destroyed Lt Jg GreyWolf's Flight 4 escorts the shuttle safely aboard the Raven. The MARDET greets the crew aboard the shuttle to find they are all Cylons of the Leoban type each with a slightly different disguise. They are easily brought to the nearest Airlock without a fight due to the fact they are sick and not capable to defend them selves.

As the shuttle lands, the Ravens Dradus picks up two incoming Cylon Basestars with Legions of Raiders heading on a direct course for the fleet.

The Flying Tiger's quickly regroup as the entire Raven Airwing launches in defense of the fleet. As usual, we beat back the attack and destroy at least 1 Basestar during the battle.

When the mission is finished and all Vipers are safely aboard, the Ravens airwing lead by Lt Jg HotWire proceed to the Airlock and the awaiting Cylons. In the name of "Team Zoe," HotWire pushes the button and the Leukemia lased Skin Jobs are jettisoned into the Vacuum of space once again foiling the Cylons evil plan to destroy humanity.

SO SAY WE ALL! ! ! ! !

Ravens, Colonials and Friends, lend me your ears! ;-) :-)

Today, the Battlestar Raven (The Flagship Chapter of Battlestar Galactica Fan Club) is three years old! Looking back at where and how she got started, I cannot believe how far she has really come along. And this is really made possible because of her current Command Staff Members and Crew. The Raven has truely become more than just a Battlestar Chapter group when a CO can sit back from time to time without worry and watch your group run herself from the distance with efficiency as your other leaders knows when to step in and run things . When you see something like that, you know you have done your job guiding it to be the best it can be. With that said, we have a few things to announce and reveal.

First announcement! As you all know, the Battlestar Raven Battle Group has been recently established. With that said, we would like to introduce to all of you, Battlestar Raven's First Gunstar Escort:

 

12578054056?profile=original

The Trireme derives its name from its three rows of oars, manned with one man per oar. In modern languages the number in a word or phrase describing an arrangement of oars indicates the number in all. It was an ancient vessel and a type of galley that was used by the ancient maritime civilizations of the Mediterranean, especially the Phoenicians, ancient Greeks and Romans.

Gunstar Trireme is currently in dry dock waiting to be commissioned as it gathers her Command Staff Members and Crew. Her Command Staff Members will be revealed in due time. So if you think you have what it takes to be a Command Staff Member of the Raven's First Gunstar Escort, email me at the following email address to be considered:

 

battlestarraven002@gmail.com

 

The following positions on Gunstar Trireme has been filled already: Commanding Officer and Executive Officer. The other Command Staff positions are still opened as applications are being reviewed by me along with the Gunstar Trireme Commanding Officer.


Please keep in mind the current Fleet SOP's the Raven have to follow by set forth by the BFC Fleet Admiral when applying for a Command Staff Position on the Trireme:

 

http://battlestarfanclub.com/forum/topics/bfc-fleet-standard-operating-procedures-sop-and-guidance-pg-4


Our second announcement is very dear to all of us here on the Raven for we are a very TIGHT knit family here. When one is in need of help, we all pull together to help each other out. We do not leave anyone behind. There are a lot of us here that are parents and will do anything and everything for our children for they are our life. They are the continuation of our legacy in life.

 

On February 22, 2014, Zoe "Blossom" James, the four year old daugther of one of my Viper Pilots on the Raven (Justin "Hotwire" James), was diagnose with leukemia. Even though I have not met her in person, when I found out about it, it broke my heart. As a mother of three boys, I know it would be very hard for me to watch as a parent, if one of my children is suffering from leukemia. For me, the day I became a parent, is the day I stop living for myself. Everything from here on out, I do for my family. That is what being a parent is all about. And the same goes for the parents of Zoe "Blossom" James. She is a brave little girl and I love looking at the pictures her father includes me in and his other crewmates on the Raven. We are a family here on the Raven, so we do things as a family.

 

In Zoe's honor, the Command Staff Member of Battlestar Raven put their heads together to help the James Family. We came up with the following patch design, which we hope to turn this to an actual patch that will be avaible for purchase by anyone who so desires. All profits made from the patch sales, will go towards the James Family for their daughter Zoe. So without further ado, we would like to share with you the patch design for Team Zoe:

                                                                        Patch without the ribbon

12578054280?profile=original                                                                       Patch with the ribbon

                                                                                  12578055063?profile=original


   

 

This patch was designed by our very own Interim Executive Officer on the Raven, Steve Tweed. And with the blessing of the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club President, Shawn O'Donnell, the Team Zoe Project has now also become a BFC Sponsored project. And we thank our mother site for that.  As the Flagship Chapter of Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, we personify what our mother site is all about. We are just more than a fan club but a loving community of family and friends, hailing from all corners of the world. No child at such a young age should have to endure the effects of leukemia. But leukemia has NO boundaries. Leukemia can affect people at any age: both young and old. So, we here on the Raven along with our mother site, dedicated this patch design not only to Zoe, but to those who are suffering from leukemia, to remain strong and keep the faith. The faith in "FIGHTING LEUKEMIA!" And we hope that you, our Families and Friends in the Battlestar Galactica Community, would join us in this
fight. 

And lastly, as the Commanding Officer of Battletar Raven, I would like to present this plaque to Zoe "Blossom" James, making her an Honorary Member on the Raven.  Your Raven Family loves you very much Zoe.  And we are all here for you:

12578056261?profile=original

With that said:  "ALL HANDS, THIS IS RAVEN ACTUAL! INITIATE PROJECT TEAM ZOE AND SHARE THEM TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!"

HAPPY 3RD YEAR CHAPTER ANNIVERSARY RAVENS! KEEP LEADING THE WAY IN THE FLEET!

Six like you've NEVER seen her before

Suppose you take a little Trek & shake it up with a little Battlestar Galactica?

What if another group of beings (aside from humans) decided to construct their own brand of Cylons?

Well as alternate theories go, this is an interesting one to postulate anyway and to see what perhaps 6 would look like if Cylons had been built by Andorians.

Or if Tricia Helfer decided to paint her skin blue and wear antenna's!

Hero!

Hello, fellow Battlestar Galactica Club Members!

We bid welcome to our newest recruits, glad you all could join us.

I trust you have all been made welcome.

Great things lie ahead for the BFC as we begin rolling out new initiatives over the next couple of months, so be sure & stay tuned!

In the meantime & without further ado, I will "cut to the chase" to announce our Hero of Battlestar Galactica.

This person has a a huge amount of credits to her name...both as actress AND stunt woman...appearing in features as diverse as Joe Versus the Volcano to The Rock & many television series, she made her foray into Battlestar Galactica "under cover"...as in you would never have recognized her.

She portrayed Seetol, the assistant to the Ovion Queen Lotay in the original Battlestar Galactica's introduction of Saga of a Star World.

12578048096?profile=originalLuckily for her (and us) she doesn't look like this in reality!

In her every day human form she looks like this:

12578049681?profile=original

We salute Sandra Lee Gimpel...the newest Hero of Battlestar Galactica.

So Say We All!
