10 Star Trek Events OTOY & The Roddenberry Archive Should Explore Next
4. Wolf 359 And Aftermath
Wolf 359, despite no longer serving as the most devastating battle in Star Trek's history (in terms of numbers lost) still finds itself at the top of many lists of 'unseen moments' or 'battles we need to see.'
OTOY and the Roddenberry Archive would not be the first to depict it, should they decide to do so. JTVFX has already created a phenomenal rendition of the battle on their YouTube channel, while the Wolf359 Project has created a stellar oral history of the battle, the run-up, and the aftermath.
With a glut of content available, this is a project that, in our opinion, might be best served by a collaboration between these powers. Wolf 359 remains a chilling and crippling moment in Star Trek's history and serves as a turning point in how stories were told in the Trek universe. Though we are closer now than we have ever been to seeing the full scale of the battle, we have still yet to find a definitive, single narrative.
Perhaps we are being greedy here, but with several versions available, can we not have our cake and eat it, too?
