"The Savage Empire" is an original self-produced pilot intended as a concept for a new television serial based on the look and feel of Star Trek: The Original Series. With an eye for detail, the sets, props, costumes, and visual effects were all painstakingly reproduced by amateurs on a shoestring budget in exacting 1960's style.

Overview[]
