The U.S.S. Exeter, under the command of Captain John Garrovick, is on a mission to save the crew of the starship Lexington who are infected with the deadly Canopus Plague. The Exeter must travel to the Andorian homeworld for the cure. But Andorian rebels and their Klingon allies have other plans!

Quality Rating: 55%
There are plenty of problems with this first episode, including interminable conversation about politics, the overacting of some actors, sloppy dialogue, an overly long fight between the Klingons and the landing party, fight choreography, and a modeling clay monster that should've been replaced digitally.

While the senior officers enjoy shore leave, the night shift laments their status in life...

Quality Rating: 90%
Clearly meant to be just a fun extra for the production, this little piece is quite engaging. Spoiler warning: While I didn't care for the Borg or the Encephalitis/Elephantitis jokes, the direction and acting and story were very entertaining.

Starbase 16 is destroyed and Captain Garrovick's old ship, the U.S.S. Kongo, is missing. On a hunt for the perpetrators, the Exeter encounters the Tressaurians, a savage reptillian race believed related to the Gorn. The Tressuarians are tampering with a deadly new technology from another hostile species. Can the crew of the Exeter uncover its secrets in time, or will this discovery lead to an even greater threat?

Quality Rating: 89% (tentative)
The producers at Starship Exeter have clearly recognized the problems that their previous episode had, and have taken steps to correct them. The result is a fine production, worthy of the name Star Trek.

Note: Unfortunately, at this time, the episode is still incomplete, but the long-anticipated Act III is finally available for download and viewing. The quality rating took a hit (from 95 to 89) with the release of the third act. It seems as if Captain Garrovick is a misogynist who is incapable of dealing with either Commander Jo Harris (his executive officer) and the new assistant he's been assigned. Ensign Richards appears to be a dizzy woman incapable of serving aboard a starship, by the way he yells at her, and frankly, it's a little disturbing. The interminable captain's log scene only serves to illustrate that Garrovick doesn't trust his crew, not even his best friend Cutty, and that he's isolated himself from anyone who dares to disagree with him. The subsequent and basically inexplicable delivery of lunch from Ensign Richards with an exchange of dialogue that results in Garrovick's epiphany rings hollow at best. Despite this act's shortcomings, Exeter is definitely still one of the best fan films. Hopefully Act IV won't take as long to release as Act III, but it should be noted that the first episode took them seven years to produce. Presently, the conclusion is undergoing a new edit.
