Axanar: Heroes
Episode Screen Capture

00 — 02min 51sec — 01 November 2015
The first video shot in a real world sense but the last chronologically in the Axanar fictional universe, this vignette acts as an introduction to the canon character Garth, years after the battle of Axanar, taking place immediately after the events of "Whom Gods Destroy" in the Original Series.

Released by Robert Meyer Burnett on his YouTube channel, Aug 14, 2021: https://youtu.be/f4eFHVAmx8A

Shot in 2015, Robert Meyer Burnett released this short vignette on his YouTube channel with the following description, "Directed, produced and edited by Robert Meyer Burnett, shot by Milton Santiago with visual effects by Tobias Richter and Daren Dochterman, AXANAR: HEROES was the last fan film to be shot at the now official Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour located in Historic downtown Ticonderoga, New York. This unfinished and unmixed version of the vignette was shot in November, 2015 and stars Brian Gross as Captain James T. Kirk, Brandon Stacy as Mr. Spock, John M. Kelley as Dr. McCoy and Alec Peters as Kelvar Garth. This work-in-progress, like the entirety of the AXANAR feature film project, was never completed because of the CBS Lawsuit brought against failed fan film producer Alec Peters." The ending segues well with Axanar's 2019 trailer, "Peace In Our Time"
