James Cawley is a professional Elvis Presley imitator and his hobby has always been Star Trek. He was given the original blueprints to the Desilu sets and started to build them. After building the bridge, sickbay and several other sets, he teamed up with the director Jack Marshall and a number of fans whose aim it was to create the missing two years of the original five year mission under James T. Kirk.
The Star Trek New Voyages team started to create new episodes, based on the original series, to continue where Kirk and his crew had left off when their series was cancelled. They are even numbering their episodes as the fourth season and have so far managed to release 11 new episodes (including the Pilot from 2003).
The series was made as a fan film project under the direction of James Cawley, who also played James T. Kirk in the New Voyages/Phase II incarnation until mid-2012. Starting with “Bread and Savagery”, Cawley passed on the iconic role of Captain Kirk to the professional actor Brian Gross. James continued to helm the show as Executive Producer, making costumes etc.

Withdrawn from the official Phase II website but is once again available on the Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II-International website.
Our ReviewRating: 2.5 or 3. This original pilot is not as technically proficient as their other episodes. It has a convoluted plot which, in many ways, doesn't quite work. Still, this episode would be the pride of many of the other fan film groups.
This show introduces us to the new cast for TOS, but the story is convoluted, and not only because there are two sets of entirely unknown aliens who have undefined special powers but also because the main characters, particularly Kirk, act strangely. Kirk trusts an alien woman who has proven herself untrustworthy, and seems to know which of two aliens caused a problem without any evidence. The writer seems to want to grab the Q and the Borg and bring them, together, back into TOS. The sets are excellent, the acting is good, particularly considering how weak the script is. The editing is excellent, and the show holds our interest. The use of images from the TOS shows and movies recast with the new actors helps us in the transition, which, years later, was also made by Paramount. - Barb Reader
In Harms Way

01 — 50min 46sec — 08 October 2004
In an adventure that spans centuries, Captain Kirk fights alongside a U.S.S. Enterprise from the past to stop the devastating "Doomsday Wars" that should never have happened. In a universe forever changed by those events, the crew of the Enterprise must once again battle the powerful juggernaut known as the "Doomsday Machine."

Our ReviewThis show is better written than "Come What May," and instead suffers from, if anything, a little too much realism. In fact, the repeated, similar problems the crew encounters, in which it takes a few tries to get it right, feels more like real life than like TV. Maybe just a little too much like real life. This show is also the beginning of Phase II/New Voyages signature, the use of aged original TOS actors in their films. The time jumping was hard to follow, but it was in keeping with the Star Trek pre-JJA use of timelines, even if it would have given Captain Janeway a headache. It was confusing, but coherent, the opposite of "Come What May." One of the elements of fan films which is commendable is how many, including this one, build on elements from past shows and movies, although the use of Doomsday Machine Wars seems to be a fan film theme which has been done a number of times by various groups. Given our current worry about nuclear proliferation, that is, perhaps, appropriate as well. I rate this episode a strong 3.5.
The show had a strong 'fun' factor, showing us the space shuttle in a typical one-car garage in a modest suburban home, and bringing us back to where TOS started, with a shot of the injured Pike waiting for his journey to the planet where his life will go on, if only as an illusion. It is more amateurish than Phase II/New Voyages' later show but shows significant growth, too. Much of the plot seems to turn around trying to allow William Windom his return performance. The idea that the attack of the Doomsday Machines would cause the Klingon alliance to happen earlier is certainly believable. However, the show has the feeling of trying to just do too much. You feel their anxiety that this could be their last show, and they are trying to squeeze too much into it. As time goes on, the confidence of the Phase II team grows, and their product improves with their confidence. - Barb Reader

The Enterprise is on a suicide mission to the heart of the Klingon Empire! Pulled in every direction by warlords and people that have their own agenda, the Kitumba suddenly finds himself confronting his very enemy: Captain James Kirk and the Enterprise. The choices he makes will resonate through the galaxy for years to come. This extended-length episode not only explores Klingon society and their home planet but bridges the gap between the TOS Klingon Empire and Klingon Empire we saw in the feature films.

The Oracle Room set from the original episode was painstakingly recreated for this production, as was Natira’s wig and dress to near perfection. Filming began July 10th and ended July 24th 2015 on location and at Ticonderoga, New York.
Somebody other than Star Trek Phase II advertised a version of this film but required that you sign up for it at http://themoovi.site/series/79256/1/11 (40:00) - Dead link as at 07 Jan, 2021, nothing on Wayback Machine either.
"Update Feb. 2018: Due to the CBS Fan-Film Guidelines, post-production work on this episode has been halted. All scenes have been filmed, but there are about 180 visual effects that need to be added to the episode, which would be many months of work. As two of our three visual effects experts can no longer work on the project due to the restrictions of the Fan-Film guidelines, completion of this episode cannot continue without special permission being granted from CBS. This is unlikely during release of Discovery and we are unsure if this episode will ever be permitted to be completed. We understand this is disappointing for our loyal fans, but we are not responsible for the events that led up to the release of those guidelines." <LINK>

Written & directed by David Gerrold based on one of a number of story pitches he made to Star Trek The Original Series, "The Protracted Man".
At the start of 2021 James Cawley posted on his Facebook account that he had "stumbled upon a DVD of the only existing workprint" of this unfinished film and graciously decided to share it online even though it reminded him of the significant issues it had caused for him which "led me to quit acting as Kirk, and scale back my involvement in this show and my absolute loathing for all things fan film." It was missing VFX shots and final sound mix which led to it's abandonment.
