The correct word is PRAETOR. CHECKED/Verified with the gracious assistance of Memory Alpha. I mean no insult to a fellow fan of this particular series, @veedubya4636.

​@@dreadnoughtdominion8988I'm intrigued by this spin-off of Starship Dominion. Nice piece of work. You guys should be proud of what you have created.

@@dreadnoughtdominion8988she has issues

It was fun to bring her to life in this!

We have a great composer who takes elements from classic Trek music and molds into to a great theme! He did it with Dreadnought Dominion and now Warbird Valdore!

@@gdavisohio Please please please upload the tracks.

THANK YOU.. Most folks "get it" when a Star Trek Fan Film hits KZfaq. These are FANS making Star Trek, emulating their heroes, as well as villains, for FUN. Most of us are not professional actors. We have a few sprinkled in our productions, but most are just "regular" folks doing this for the FUN of it. Again.. THANK YOU for your comment and kudos to you and your High School Teacher!

@@gdavisohio I'm 56 now. And Mrs. Goering will always have a special place in my heart. My mother was into Senior Class Acts and at 67 she was the youngest. I did some things at Cowtown Museum but had to give it up for family. Again, THANK YOU! for making these. 🖖LLAP

Poor fella. We’ll have to check in on him some day.

That makes sense. But Captains in our Navy can be as different as night and day. Different leadership styles, different strategies, different personalities... So maybe it's the same with the Romulans.

Thank you very much! We work really hard on these.

LOL . She read about it somewhere

We love ‘em too! Thanks!

Thanks man! we appreciate it!

Thanks! We try to walk a thin line. Trying to keep to canon while at the same time trying some new things.

Thanks!

Just like Captain T said.. ".. our governments aren't on the best of terms, but I'm not one to stand by and watch an unfair fight...".. something to that effect.. the Constitution saw a Romulan ship being pummeled by a ship they had never seen. The underlying point was to "rescue" them.. but it was also a chance to get some intel on another race with superior weapons in case they ventured into Federation territory. Starfleet has never been ones to say ".. not my problem..".. so they came to their assistance. It's also nice to have the other guy "owe you one"..

@@gdavisohio Why not watch an "unfair" fight? The Romulans love unfair fights when they are attacking under cloak and actually call that honorable. Stay at a discreet distance, launch probes to get a better look and see what happens. Evaluate both sides, their tactics, weapons and abilities all while following that vaunted Prime Directive of non interference. Besides, who says the new race wouldn't be more friendly than the Romulans or might entangle the Romulans in a war for awhile? And Romulans never owe anyone anything. At this point, the Romulans are bullies and an enemy with no sign of wanting to change that. Lets them twist in the wind when they pick a fight with someone more powerful.

@@tomb7942 Your point is valid.. However.. Captains' actions are a great deal at their discretion.. There would be a great deal of "in the moment" thinking like what our own battlefield commanders have to deal with .. or the police officers on the streets.. I tend to lean toward the side of when Captain T reported into base, he could say.. ".. we came, we fired, we kicked butt..." rather than.... ".. we saw, we hung back, we watched the Romulans get clobbered..."

@@gdavisohio Fair enough, but I would have desked Picard for not taking out the Borg when he had the chance. And I would have desked this Captain for helping the Romulans. Simply put, "WTF were you thinking, risking YOUR ship for those war mongers?", oh, and violating the Prime Directive while doing so. At some point, being practical has to be more important than looking good.

@@tomb7942 Well.. Picard DID help the Romulans in the episode of "Contagion".. When Geordi discovered how to purge the Iconian computer program from their computers.. they called over to the Romulans to let them now before their warp core imploded. Starfleet likes to take the high ground. in TOS, Kirk points out the "RISK is their business", otherwise.. why be "out there". Additionally, the Klingons were the mortal enemies of the Federation for sometime.. It finally took Starfleet coming to their aid after a Romulan attack to start bridging the gap between the two races that finally resulted in not only an alliance.. but for officers like Worf to be in Starfleet. The Romulans maybe very tough eggs to crack.. but enough overtures of friendship and goodwill will finally break that camel's back and they may come to the negotiating table. In our canon, the Romulans have these Vancians to contend with. They may NEED the Federation to stave off an aggressive race that threatens them.

episode #2 will be out later this year.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ok. Guilty as charged. Perhaps a bit over the top, but goal #1 here was fun, and it sounds like you agree we pulled that off. Thanks for watching!

The TOS episode "The Enterprise Incident" established that the Klingons transferred some D7s over to the Romulans as part of an Alliance.

@@FekLeyrTarg I completely forgot about that. Thanks!

Shhhhh! You’re not supposed to notice!

@@dreadnoughtdominion8988 I found it very well done and entertaining 👏

Just LOVE those masks!.. Can't wait for Squid Games II!

DEFINATELY trying to get them to come back and do more TOS CONNIE!

THANKS!…. I think.

The Valdore is a heavy modified Klingon D-7. The Romulans acquired the D-7 in a technology exchange with the Klingons. We saw that in the TOS Episode "Enterprise Incident". It's also how the Klingons got the cloaking device.

A little bit between the lines.. I'd just say.. remember what Captain Tackett said.. "Our governments may not be on the friendliest terms, but I'm not one to ignore an unfair fight". The Constitution may have ventured into Romulan territory, but they saw one ship (a new one they've not seen before.. so an opportunity to take a peek) against three unknown ships (again, a chance to get some intel on a new hostile race). They saved the Valdore and while the Commander didn't show much appreciation, she did merely order them to leave the area, and generally ignored their crossing into their territory. Plus.. now she "owes Starfleet one"... Bottom line though.. it was just an excuse to have an AWESOME guest star come in and save the day (LOL)...

That was great! Where were the sets from? They looked great!

Not sure what you mean here.. I don't believe anyone is "pushing" Star Trek.. Are you referring to Paramount + and all the Star Trek shows? That is no different than the current trend for Marvel Movies. These are money making ventures that the studios are investing in. If you are referring to Star Trek fan films, they are just FUN to do. Its a great hobby, I have been doing them for 10 years. I get to play dress up, meet up with friends from all over the country, learn about filming, camera work, light work, what goes into making a production, and when its shot, editing, scoring, and special effects. We also get to do this on a replica of a set from a TV show that that I have been watching since I was a kid. Why is it so important.. well.. I can say its important to myself and all the folks who are involved. Many of us grew up watching Star Trek.. it's part of who we are.

Good feedback!.. We appreciate it, we do! Some of our actors are ACTUAL actors. Then we have folks like ME.. I'm no actor.. I'm just a fan having fun, so we just try our best. The Vancians are Inter-dimensional beings both technologically and biologically. They are invaders into our universe. So they phase energy and themselves from their dimension to ours. The "phase" technology literally means that they are phasing enemy weapons into another dimension, thereby limiting their effect. However, that ability is limited to a point..

My lips are sealed

Well, we're not SAG so you get what you pay for. Oh wait, you didn't pay so guess that works itself out.

Make your own fan film and see how it goes. But I am guessing you don't have a Hollywood budget or access to Hollywood style actors and actresses.

Comment by somebody who has not ever done any filmmaking obviously.

Wellllll.. We wouldn't admit they went in "blindly". We did have the characters make some jumps to conclusions without facts in evidence. Just let it be said that the Starfleet Captain figured out that the Vancians were up to no good, and saving the Romulans was better than allowing another race which could be worse, getting a foothold in Romulan territory. They very well may have designs on Federation territory, and was better to help the Romulans beat them back.. PLUS.. it afforded Starfleet the opportunity to scan the Vancians and gain some very good intel if they find themselves in a skirmish with them again. Plus.. it was just cool to watch the them and the Romulans hammer them!

LOL

Thanks!
