Star Trek: Of Gods and Men is a three-part unofficial Star Trek fan mini-series which has been announced for release in January, 2007. Because it is not endorsed by Paramount Television, it is not considered an official Star Trek production, although it includes many cast members from the original series and movies. It is described by its producers as a "40th Anniversary gift" from Star Trek actors to their fans. Principal photography began July 12, 2006.
The series is directed by a team of Tim Russ and J. G. Hertzler. Russ, best known for playing Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, previously directed one episode of that series. Hertzler was a character actor who appeared in many roles across several Star Trek series, but whose only recurring role was as General Martok on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Fade out and in to Uhura standing on the bridge of the original Enterprise. Fade out and in to Captain Harriman in the TOS films uniform on the same bridge. Fade to black. "COME TOGETHER". Fade to ventral starboard view of an unidentified original Constitution-class flying by. Fade to black. "ONE LAST TIME...". "TO DESTROY EACH OTHER". Cut to pre-refit Constitution bridge. The bridge shakes as sparks come from the console where a female officer is sitting. Cut to profile of mirror Chekov. Cut to unidentified Klingon in 2280s Klingon uniform.
