The Holy Core
http://startrekshortfilm.com/star-trek-short-film-welcome/4594058745
Silver Age Film; Long Film (Drama) — Oxford, UK
A second fan film from the makers of "Chance Encounter".
The Nebula class starship, the U.S.S. Vigilance is in orbit of Vita II, the home world of the Vitans. This humanoid species has finally reached a fragile peace, having emerged from several centuries of religious war. The Vigilance is here to lend vital assistance with a groundbreaking new scientific procedure to cleanse their atmosphere of harmful pollutants - a consequence of their prolonged war. All is not necessarily as it seems however, and soon the crew are flung into an adventure that sees them tackling difficult topics of faith, science, sacrifice and destiny itself.

Our ReviewExemplary. This is Star Trek, people. The only other thing I can say is that the bridge set made my eyes bug out of my head while I tried (and failed) to figure out how it was done. -James
