Star Trek: Hidden Frontier is a long-running fan-made series, now in its seventh season (44 episodes produced), set in the Briar Patch, the wild region of space introduced in the film Star Trek: Insurrection. The series focuses on the starship Excelsior, and its home base, Deep Space 12, as they fend off attacks from a powerful new alien race, the Grey, and mediate disputes between such races as the Tholians, Cardassians, Bajorans, the Son'a and the Breen. This video series is produced by volunteers in Southern California; originally as Areakt Pictures for the first four seasons. This association was later amended in favor of the cast and crew receiving credit under their own names. Contents

Background Information

Star Trek: Hidden Frontier premiered in 2000, an offshoot of the fan series Voyages of the USS Angeles (ANG), produced by the Star Trek fan club of that starship name in Southern California. HF inherited the setting, Deep Space 12, and several of the characters from the Angeles series, but quickly went on to establish its own identity. Two later HF episodes made use of footage originally shot for Angeles episodes that were never produced.

The introduction text on their site when you want to start by watching the first episode.

Dear Viewer and Star Trek fan, 

We'd like to invite you to sample Hidden Frontier by viewing 
one of our more recent episodes before starting from the beginning. 

We understand the desire to "watch from the start", but as with 
anything, Season 1 was a learning experience for us. We believe 
that if you enjoy one of our recent season 6 or 7 episodes, 
you'll enjoy the episodes from the start. All we ask is a chance 
to put our best foot forward.

Thanks,
Rob Caves
Executive Producer

From the ashes of the Dominion War, the Federation meets the Grey, a powerful alien race. The U.S.S. Excelsior is assigned to a new starbase, Deep Space 12, which serves to protect the healing planet Ba'ku and the hidden frontier of the mysterious Briar Patch.

Conflicts with the Grey escalate as the Excelsior begins to explore the Briar Patch. Old enemies, like the Dominion, resurface and new enemies, like the Orion Syndicate, appear amid ancient mysteries.

Deep Space 12 tries to repel a major Grey attack, political tensions rise among galactic powers in the Briar Patch, and a centuries-old antagonist appears at the center of a growing conspiracy.

For five years the Grey have stalked the Federation as Starfleet has plumbed the depths of the Briar Patch, discovering the powerful and ancient tetrahedrons.
