It’s been a very long time since anyone has attempted to develop an animated Star Trek series. That’s now about to change with Starship Farragut.

The U.S.S Farragut is a sister ship to the legendary Enterprise commanded by James T. Kirk. The plan is now to have two animated episodes (there have already been a few ‘live action’ episodes).

Episode one, penned by Michael Struck and Jack Treviño (co-writer of two Deep Space Nine episodes), is entitled “The Needs of the Many”. The second episode, “Power Source”, was written by Thomas J. Scott, an accomplished writer and president of Magique Productions, LTD.

“Since opening startrekanimated.com nine years ago, creating a full length episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series has been a dream of mine,” explained Kail Tescar, webmaster of the premiere Star Trek animated series web site startrekanimated.com. “I’ve been having a great time working on this project with NEO f/x and Farragut Films. It’s been a lot of fun helping to create these episodes, and I hope everyone enjoys them.”
