About Starship Excelsior

Since leaving spacedock in 2007, Starship Excelsior has become the longest-running fan-made Star Trek audio drama ever, with its all-volunteer cast and crew hailing from all over the world.

Commander Alcar Dovan and his diverse young crew of misfits have spent years exploring strange new worlds (or just surviving them) on the far frontier. Yet, even after meeting Death (in the flesh!), discovering the truth about the Borg, and spending a week at the galaxy's largest amusement park, there's still plenty more for them to see.

We don't aim to preserve Star Trek exactly as it was in 1966, but we also aren't going to "update" the soul of Star Trek: its deeply humane vision of the future. Excelsior simply tries to do what the best Trek has always done: tell the best stories possible on the cutting edge of today's science fiction. Our stories are big, our production takes risks, and we promise to take you where no one has gone before!
