Wonderful stuff! Loved the first episode. Is this series set in the Voyager/DS9 time-frame?

Thanks!! It's set in late TNG/Voyager time frame.

Fascinated to know how Impala got to M33. A Borg transwarp network transit conduit? And can Captain Grady bring the ship back if things get too tough going forward (as if they haven't been already).

Liking this but not a fan of using Instagram to read a comic. Any plans to make this available as a downloadable PDF or even better a cbr?

They're using a transwarp conduit. Grady can bring the ship back, but he's under stringent orders not to do so. They can receive messages and supplies periodically through the conduit.

I think the most likely scenario is a published physical copy you could buy on Amazon.

Amazon will require it to be licensed or they won't carry it.

You might consider starting a Patreon account to support your work with donations and provide a physical copy as a premium for a certain level of donors. Even that might be skirting licensure a little too closely. But you should be able to establish a website as a freely available platform to display it.

Thanks!! rbs

I think we'll just throw it up on Amazon as STM33 and see how long it lasts. We talked to somebody connected to Paramount once and they won't really care unless it started to make real money.

Riiight.

This is a matter of propriety. You don't own the Star Trek IP and you are not licensed to sell media based on the Star Trek IP, and cute tricks like just using an abbreviation of the title will not protect you in the event Paramount changes its mind about not caring until you "make real money.'

I republished my 1998 book of short stories on Amazon. One of the boxes that was required for me to check was to certify that I was the sole owner of or had full rights to the intellectual property.
Robert Bruce Scott: Wide Awake and Staring - Readings for 3:00 a.m.

But if you're manufacturing the physical product and sending it out, that might not be required.
