Star Trek Expanded Universe is a generic term used to describe information put forth outside the scope of the feature films and television series, in an attempt to provide backstories and chronology to "fill the holes" between canonical material.

Assignment: Earth

A spin-off of Star Trek was planned during the run of the Original Series, involving a character named Gary Seven, a human agent trained by an alien race to prevent Earth in the 20th century from destroying itself. A pilot episode was filmed, but as the series never took off, the episode was made into an episode of Star Trek. Note: although considered part of the "Expanded Universe" which as a rule is not canonical, "Assignment: Earth" is unusual in that, since it was a televised episode of the Original Series, it is considered canon (this refers to the revised version used in the series, as opposed to the original pilot version).

Star Trek: New Frontier 

A series of novels by Peter David focusing on the crew of the starship Excalibur. Some characters were guest stars from episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, while others were from previous Star Trek titles by the same author, and still others were created originally for the series. The series takes place in Sector 221-G, where the Excalibur is dispatched to help with the chaos created by the crumbling Thallonian Empire.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Relaunch" 

A series of novels, set after the end of the series. New characters have been added to compensate for the loss of those who left at the end of the show. The series begins with two novels called Avatar, Books 1 and 2. Though it is sometimes called DS9's "eighth season" or the DS9 Relaunch, neither label is officially endorsed by the publishers. (several novels published after the end of the series but before the "eighth season" stories began have been retroactively added to the Relaunch, including the anthology The Lives of Dax and the novel A Stitch in Time).

Star Trek: Voyager, "Relaunch" 

An expanding series of novels by Christie Golden, set after the end of the Voyager series. Currently printed are the books Homecoming and The Further Shore, in which the characters settle into their lives back home, Spirit Walk: Old Wounds and Spirit Walk: Enemy of My Enemy.

Starfleet Corps of Engineers 

An expanding series of e-books by various authors, set in the same timeline as the Next Generation series. This series features a group of highly-trained engineers stationed aboard the USS Da Vinci and their adventures on various planets.

Announced by Pocket Books editors in May 2005. No timeline or other information is available as yet.

William Shatner's Star Trek novels, post-Star Trek: Generations 

A series that instigates on Kirk's resurrection after the events seen in Star Trek: Generations. The series began with Ashes of Eden, which, set immediately after Star Trek: Generations told Spock's recollection of the last adventure he was involved with Captain Kirk, shortly after the Khitomer Conference. The next was the actual The Return, where Kirk comes to life after a Romulan party had allied with the Borg and is set to kill Picard! The rest of the novels are set in between the various movies and TV episodes from all the Star Trek series, from 1996 and on. These are distinctive, as they incorporate events and characters from various episodes from all TV series and movies and tie them into the continuity, bringning a larger scope to the whole Star Trek universe. He is assisted, greatly, by Judith Reeves-Stevens and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, who also wrote the now famous crossover novel Federation.

The first DC series picked up immediately after Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan beginning in 1983 but after nine issues started to place stories after Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. In these later issues, Kirk, after a multi-issue showdown with the Mirror Universe, is given command of the Excelsior, while Spock, mentally restored after mind-melding with his mirror self, is given the command of the USS Surak. However, with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home taking place right after III left off, the series quickly wiped the slate clean by having Kirk lose command of the Excelsior and Spock return to the state he was at the end of III. After the release of The Voyage Home, the series continued with Kirk commanding the Enterprise-A. These later issues also re-introduced the characters of Arex and M'Ress from Star Trek: The Animated Series. In 1988, the series ended when Paramount withdrew its license.

After a year's hiatus DC's second Star Trek series began with an adaptation of Star Trek V and took place in the large gap between Star Trek V and Star Trek VI, but did not continue on from the previous series, so storylines from that series were either ignored or rewritten. Although more limited in scope than the first series due to restrictions from Paramount (which included a prohibition on creating non-series-related ongoing characters, resulting in R.J. Blaise - a popular character and love interest for Kirk - disappearing from the comic without explanation), the series lasted around 75 issues and fleshed out some of the changes between V and VI, such as Sulu's promotion to captain of the Excelsior. As part of Paramount's increased restrictions on storytelling, planned appearances from Arex and M'Ress were shelved, with some formative artwork showing M'Ress (that appeared in a preview) re-drawn. The series was mainly written by Peter David and Howard Weinstein, who are also Star Trek novelists. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Paramount Pictures, 1989; see also 1989 in film) is the fifth feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. ... Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Paramount Pictures, 1991; see also 1991 in film) is the sixth feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. ...

Lieutenant MRess, voiced by Majel Barrett, was a recurring character on Star Trek: The Animated Series which aired on NBC from 1973 to 1975. ...

DC also published two Star Trek: The Next Generation comic series. The first, a six-issue series, takes place during the first season, while the second series covers seasons two to just before Generations. The series was mainly written by Star Trek: The Next Generation novelist Michael Jan Friedman. The title as it appeared in most episodes opening credits. ... Star Trek: Generations (Paramount Pictures, 1994, see also 1994 in film) is the seventh feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. ...

At the same time DC was publishing its comics, Malibu published a Deep Space Nine series during the first three seasons, and DC and Malibu joined forces to publish a TNG/DS9 mini-series. DC also published one of the first crossovers between the TOS and TNG eras in another mini-series. Space station Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (ST:DS9 or STDS9 or DS9 for short) is a science fiction television series produced by Paramount and set in the Star Trek universe. ...

Malibu

Beginning in 1994, Malibu published an ongoing series based upon Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and, as noted above, also joined forces with DC to publish a cross-over story with that company's TNG series. In addition, Malibu published a standalone issue focusing on the Romulans, and two issues of a "celebrity series" of stories written by Star Trek actors Mark Lenard and Aron Eisenberg. Introduction The Romulans, a fictional race in the Star Trek universe, are descended from Vulcans and are characterized as being deceitful, cunning, and treacherous. ...

Aron Eisenberg (born January 6, 1969 in Hollywood, California) is an actor best known for his role as Nog in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. ...

In 1996, Malibu also announced plans to publish a Voyager comic, and art from this comic appeared in some comic industry periodicals. However, that year Paramount Pictures (owners of the Trek franchise), signed a deal with Marvel Comics to publish comics based upon Star Trek and Mission: Impossible under the new Paramount Comics banner. As a result, DC and Malibu abruptly lost the rights to publish Trek comics of their own. The Paramount Pictures logo used since 2003. ...

Return to Marvel

Restricting TOS and TNG stories to the quarterly Unlimited series, Marvel published monthly comics based upon Deep Space Nine and Voyager. They also introduced two new series, Star Trek: Early Voyages which dealt with Captain Pike's adventures as captain of the Enterprise (as depicted in the rejected TOS pilot "The Cage") and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy which dealt with a group of cadets, including Deep Space Nine's Ferengi, Nog. The starship Voyager (NCC-74656), an Intrepid-class starship. ... Star Trek: Early Voyages was a comic book series published by Marvel Comics in the United States, running for 17 issues from February 1997 until June 1998. ... Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike Christopher Pike is a fictional character in Star Trek. ...

Fan acceptance of these comics got off to a shaky start when Marvel's inaugural publication of its new Star Trek line turned out to be a crossover between TNG and Marvel's popular superhero team, The X-Men. (Pocket Books, likewise, published a novel based upon this premise entitled Planet X). However, the different series turned out to be relatively popular, with Starfleet Academy and Early Voyages registering strong sales. The X-Men are a group of comic book superheroes featured in Marvel Comics. ...

After about a year, however, Marvel's agreement with Paramount changed and similar restrictions to those imposed upon DC resulted in Starfleet Academy and Early Voyages being abruptly cancelled, even though both were in the middle of story arcs at the time.

Wildstorm

Marvel continued to publish TV-based Trek comics for another year or so, but eventually the license drifted back to DC's Wildstorm inprint. Wildstorm decided to not do an ongoing series, but instead a series of miniseries and trade paperback graphic novels. Their TNG series mainly dealt with the movie era, between Insurrection and Nemesis; their Deep Space Nine stories were based on the post-Season 7 novel continuity, and their Voyager series took place during the series. Wildstorm also created comics based on the novel series New Frontier and the video game Elite Force. Their license expired in 2002.

Tokyopop

For several years, no comic book company held the rights to publish Trek-based comics. However, in October 2004, Tokyopop announced plans to publish an anthology of Next Generation-based stories presented in the style of Japanese manga. No publication date has been announced as of October 2005.

Star Trek: A New Beginning 

This three-part Star Trek fan film was directed by high school student Nicholas Kent and produced in conjunction with William Downes in 2005 and 2006. The film takes place aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) and is notable for its general lack of computer generated effects. All starship interactive scenes were created using miniature models suspended on strings animated with motion control photography. Unlike other internet productions, the film is unique in that it was made with only a digital camera, Windows Movie Maker and Microsoft Paint. The fifteen-minute long first segment includes a zero-gravity fight, a starship battle and authentic Klingon. A low definition version is available here, while high definition versions are available on P2P networks such as KaZaA. The subsequent segments will be released in April 2006 in conjunction with a forty-minute compliation of all three segments in the form of an "episode".

Bring Back Kirk 

When Captain Kirk was killed in Generations, legions of Star Trek fans from around the world united to form the Bring Back Kirk campaign. The goal of the campaign is simple—to see Captain Kirk returned to the living, and to see the character have a happy ending. Star Trek has always been about possibilities. This short film is not so much an endorsement on a particular plot point, but an effort to show the exciting possibilities that Kirk's return would bring. This nine minute trailer was created in 2004 and is truly an international effort, as it represents the combined work of fans from both the United States and the United Kingdom whose common bond is the desire to see Kirk return.

Rather than using stock footage of the ships from any of the movies and television shows, the trailer features brand new CGI footage, created using meshes by Jason Turner and Wil Jaspers. This enabled the team to engineer all new space scenes and even show ships from the various different shows together on screen.

Inspired in part by the success of a long-running series of audio adventures produced by Big Finish Productions in the United Kingdom based upon Doctor Who, some similar audio series based upon characters and situations from Star Trek have been launched. Unlike the Doctor Who productions — which are produced under license by the rights holders of the Doctor Who property, the BBC — these Star Trek audio series are not similarly licensed by Paramount. It is worth noting, however, that the Doctor Who audios were not initially licensed by the BBC, although this was when they were produced on an amateur rather than a professional basis, as has been the case since 1999.

Since the Summer of 2005, Darker Projects has become the home for Star Trek Fan Audio. In March, Pioneer Audio Productions, best known for Star Trek: Pioneers, was integrated into Darker Projects, and Pioneers was added to the growing family of Darker Projects Productions. Ever since the conception of Star Trek: The Section 31 Files, Darker Projects' flagship Star Trek series, fans have been discussing about a possible option for Paramount to license the series as both an official and sanctioned production. However, to both the Production's and Fans' dismay, Paramount has yet to comment. Even without official approval by Paramount, the Darker Projects Star Trek Audio Series have become a world wide success with thousands of loyal listeners across the globe.

Star Trek: The Section 31 Files 

The Section 31 Files, an audio series by Darker Projects, explores the darker side of the Federation, the side virtually unexplored by the canon films and series. The series is based on a starship that defends the Federation against dangers from which it cannot protect itself. The series has already produced fourteen episodes in the first season and has released their first four episodes of the second season, as of November 2005. The series works loosely in conjunction with another series, Star Trek: Pioneers. The creator of The Section 31 Files is located in Oregon and relies on voice talents from across the globe for the production.

Star Trek: Pioneers 

This series, which made its debut in 2003, follows the experiences of a new crew and starship, The USS Pioneer. During a routine mission of exploration, the Federation discovers a gateway to the other side of the galaxy. On the other side, Starfleet finds a bold new frontier waiting to be discovered. In the series, the USS Pioneer is the forerunner in the exploration of this new area of space, and all the dangers, new enemies, old friends, and mysteries it has to offer. In March 2005, Star Trek: Pioneers became part of the Darker Projects family, best known for Star Trek: The Section 31 Files and their Doctor Who series. As of November 2005, the series had produced six episodes, and have three in production.

Crossroads 

This bold new adventure begins with the Q Continuum's revelation that the end of the Universe itself is at hand. With their acceptance of the end of time, they intend to protect the natural flow of history as the universe comes to a close. A certain Q we are all familiar with however, refuses to accept this flow of events and in after a failed attempt to prevent the disaster, the Continuum strips him of his powers and he is forced to enlist the help of not only the Federation, but also a civilization from an entirely separate dimension and reality. With not only our universe at stake, the New Republic faces the exact same disaster, that is if our heros cannot prevent an infinately unlikely cataclysmic event that will mark the beginning of the end of both realities. In this adventure we learn not only about new aspects of both legends, but the answers to many questions that have arisen in past events in both realities' histories. In the production our long lived heros from both the Star Wars Universe, and Darker Projects' Star Trek productions, unite to prevent the destruction of reality itself. The production is set to take place shortly after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. This epic story, although in its pre-production stages, is planned to be a feature length audio drama, set for release sometime in Winter/Spring 2006.

Legal Issues

The attitude of Viacom / Paramount to fan productions has differed according to the commercial and social situations of the time. In early 1996 for example, Viacom went on the attack, sending out a wave of cease and desist letters to webmasters of Star Trek fan sites which contained copyrighted film clips, sounds, or insignia. Under threat of legal action, many Trekkers shut down, leaving behind scanned copies[10] of letters sent by Viacom. Shortly afterwards, on July 10, Paramount launched a Web site which required a subscription [11], STAR TREK: CONTINUUM. It is surmised that all this was a lead up to the release of their next film, Star Trek: First Contact. In a statement from the then president of Paramount Digital Entertainment David Wertheimer, Viacom said it was targeting sites that "are selling ads, collecting fees, selling illegal merchandise or posting copyrighted materials". Cease-and-desist is a legal term meaning essentially stop: It is used in demands for a person or organization to stop doing something (to cease and desist from doing it). ...

They did not meet much resistence "...faced with the threat of legal prosecution, most of the sites have duly complied with Viacom's demands, promptly deleting the offending data." However, they did not get it all their own way "A handful of stubborn cyber-trekkies have steadfastly resisted these pressure tactics. Rhind, one of the first recipients of the company's threatening letter, has posted it for all to see. [see link above] "I want them to give me a list of copyright infringing materials," he says in an interview. "I want specifics."

Viacom's actions were seen by numerous sources as an example of a wider civil liberties issue and poor public relations. For example in a news article in Wired[12], Jennifer Granick, a San Francisco criminal lawyer who went on to champion cyber rights, felt that the unofficial sites should be covered by the fair use doctrine in U.S. copyright law. In a 1998 article [13], Howard Besser, an Assoc. Professor at UCLA saw it as an example of "the content industry … exploiting concerns over digitization and attempting to reshape the law by strengthening protection for copyrightsholders and weakening public rights to access and use material." Jennifer Granick Jennifer Stisa Granick is an American attorney and lecturer at Stanford Law School, where she is Executive Director at the Center for Internet and Society. ... This page is a candidate for speedy deletion. ... A lawyer is a person licensed by the state to advise clients in legal matters and represent them in courts of law and in other forms of dispute resolution. ... Cyber law encompasses a wide variety of political and legal issues related to the Internet and other communications technology, including intellectual property, privacy, freedom of expression, and jurisdiction. ... The fair use doctrine is an aspect of United States copyright law that provides for the licit, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another authors work under a four-factor balancing test. ... The power to enact United States copyright law is granted in Article One, section 8, of the United States Constitution, which states: The Congress shall have Power. ... The University of California, Los Angeles, popularly known as UCLA, is a public, coeducational university situated in the neighborhood of Westwood within the city of Los Angeles. ...

Specifically fan fiction has been the battle ground for the legal issues balancing the copyright owner's legal rights against the fan's use of that material in their fan fiction. Reading the Legalities section of the Fan fiction Wikipedia article shows that Trek has been at the forefront of the controversy. Many of the precedents set by fan fiction apply to other media, particularly fan films and audio dramas, however the same dangers apply as well. The biggest danger is when a fan breaks the tacit agreement between authors and fans and either tries to make money out of it themselves or - far worse - accuses the author[14] of appropriating their idea. This has caused a backlash from certain authors that have closed doors that were once open. Fan fiction (also spelled fanfiction and commonly abbreviated to fanfic) is fiction written by people who enjoy a film, novel, television show or other media work, using the characters and situations developed in it and developing new plots in which to use these characters. ...

Currently fan films are operating in an informational vacuum since Viacom has made no official statement as regards to their existence, pro or con. Fan film makers have tried to keep a low profile, hoping not to draw attention to themselves. However with the demise of professional productions[15] they are getting more media attention[16] in more prestigious media[17] and even a certain amount of recognition[18] from the entertainment industry.

The guidelines that some fan films have set themselves are:
