Star Trek: The Section 31 Files
http://ericbusbypresents.com/category/podcast/the-section-31-files
Silver Age Audio; Series (Drama)
Space is dark. Let’s face it. The universe of shiny, well-groomed Starfleet officers and the pristine starships of the United Federation of Planets where the Prime Directive rules and hopes for galactic unity of all species is an ongoing quest is reinterpreted in our vision of the reality of the Star Trek Universe. It’s not all “let’s be friends with our alien brethren”. Here the Federation has a dark underbelly and the daring crew of the Nosferatu boldly goes where Starfleet fears to tread. These are desperate times. We are the desperate measure.
Until the fourth episode in their fourth season this mainstay of the Trek audio drama scene was part of the Darker Projects family of shows when it's creator Eric Busby took the series to a new home on the web to continue his work.
