The series takes place aboard the stoneship U.S.S. Magnetize, a Conchstitution class Stoneship powered by its magma/antimagma engines. Characters include Captain James T. Kirkstone, the Vulcano first officer Mr. Sprock and ship's doctor Leonard "Fossils" RcKoy. The series also features a running count of redshirts killed in each episode, and fans can write in to nominate themselves to be caricatured as a redshirt in future episodes.
Stone Trek debuted in 2000 at Icebox.com, but the series soon moved to its own website and at Starland.com, which sponsored the later episodes.
The series is produced by Brian Matthews and Jim Jenkins, with the voice talent of Wally Fields, a professional voice artist who also provided voices for the official Star Trek videogame Birth of the Federation.
The series has proven popular with fans - Movie Magic Magazine called it an "innovative (and oftentimes quite funny) take on the original Star Trek"[1] in its September 2004 issue. SciFi.com calls it "a humorous cartoon masterpiece"[2].
As of mid 2010, nine episodes have been produced.
