The story is set 42 years after Star Trek: Nemesis in the prime universe created by Gene Roddenberry and follows the crew of the Federation's first political flagship, the Ascension-Class starship USS Phoenix (NCX-101138).
The first episode, "Cloak & Dagger, Part I", was released on the Internet on May 2, 2010,[2] and as of December 2015 ,"Cloak & Dagger, Part Two" remains suspended per the current lawsuit against the fan production Star Trek: Axanar by Paramount Pictures and CBS is resolved .
Along with an all-volunteer cast/crew production, several veterans of Star Trek including Academy Award-winning crew members from the J.J. Abrams reboot Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness films worked on the project. A trailer, the first episode, and other digital media are available from the production's official website and YouTube channel.[2]

The script was being written by creator/executive producer, Leo Roberts and the majority of the cast from Part I was returning to reprise their respective roles.
On January 1, 2016, the studio announced Part II was on "indefinite hold" due to the Star Trek: Axanar lawsuit filed on December 29, 2015 by Paramount Pictures and CBS.
On May 20, 2016, at the Star Trek fan event in Los Angeles, executive producer, J.J. Abrams and Star Trek Beyond director, Justin Lin announced the lawsuit against Axanar was being dropped. Official confirmation is pending and guidelines were being issued to fan productions but little information is currently available.
