Chain of Command - Without the support of our superiors in Bravo Fleet Simming group, the Excelsior would never have made the leap from roleplaying game to audio drama, so thanks to our immediate superiors (as of 2386):
Commander Trent Walker, CO, U.S.S. Horizon
Vice Admiral S'iraa, CO, Task Force 38
Admiral Barak Aubrey and the rest of the BFA

Special Thanks
Darker Projects Productions in general, and Chris Snyder in particular, for unprecedented access to the DP sound library

The Star Trek fan film community, which was more than welcoming to the new kid on the block during our first season

Michael Hudson of the Star Trek: Intrepid show, who provided us with a download mirror and has been just wonderful to us generally

Mike Mitchell, who used to code the site, added his site as a download mirror, and didn't even tell me! The man is a piece of work. But I'm probably embarrassing him. Moving on:

The Bravo Fleet roleplaying alliance, the sine qua non of all things Excelsior ("Infinite Diversity. Infinite Combinations. Find Yours.")

The fan community at large, whose support for the show has made it a pleasure to produce

Paramount Pictures, for making great Star Trek for so many years and, particularly, for not sending us a cease-and-desist letter

All writers for the Excelsior roleplaying game, past and present, who created this ship and the legacy we've accidentally inherited

And, of course, to Gene Roddenberry, who created this universe and let us play around in it.
