Episode 01: The Infinite Chain      ***Currently in Post-Production*** written by George Kayaian The U.S.S. Hannibal investigates energy gates and ends up exploring an unknown galaxy!
Episode 02: Incident at Beta 9      ***Now Available On-Line***  (click on title to read Fred Dixon's review) written by George Kayaian While investigating Beta 9, a landing party from the Hannibal encounters a pair of Klingons bent on killing each other while in nearby space, a new energy vortex forms when planet Odin II vanishes and almost destroys the U.S.S. Aristarchus in the process!

All in all, it can be a touch talky at times, and there is the illogical separation of the pair of crewmembers on the planet's surface leading to a really long time before they team up again, but I rather enjoyed it.
Episode 03: The Final Darkness     ***Currently in Production*** written by George Kayaian The crew of the Hannibal discovers the answers to the energy gates and what caused Odin II to vanish. They also encounter a new villain with an incredibly powerful weapon that threatens the Federation itself! There is a teaser for this episode on-line now on their YouTube page.
