13: A Human Story

Starship Valiant with

Michael L. King.

The TOS time period is a popular one for fan series, and many go

to painstaking efforts to accurately reproduce every detail of the
Enterprise and the unique charm of The Original Series—with
breathtaking results. But a key part of Star Trek is found beyond
the ships, the space battles, and the strange new worlds. The
recesses of the human soul play a critical part in what makes Star
Trek special; and when an independent production lacks the
resources for sets and CGI great stories can still be told by
turning inward.

Starship Valiant is the personal story of one man dealing with

death and turmoil after events led him to assume command of the USS
Valiant. Written by Michael L. King, who also plays the story's
lead, Commander Jackson K. Bishop, Starship Valiant goes where
great Star Trek should—into the souls of its characters.

In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by Michael to

learn more about Valiant, the origins of the story, and how the
first episode, "Legacy," was put together.
