125 Retail Star Trek

125 Retail Star Trek is a live action silver age film by adult fans using green screens, costumes, and with much improved writing, acting, and film and audio quality when compared with their prior effort (Star Trek Roddenbury, discussed infra.).  It is described as a training video for a store, but I didn't see the training.  Instead, I saw a version of Trek Ayn Rand could love.

Centers on a member of the United Trade Federation (Federated Department Stores?).  Their rival space-faring retailer?  Wal-Mart!

Wal-Mart has stolen a prototype time travel device to become the dominant retailer in the Quadrant.  The United Trade Federation ship follows him back in time through his vortex (with footage taken from the movie, Star Trek: First Contact.)







These are the same people who created Star Trek Roddenbury, released in 2004, with some of the same actors.  They work out of Nottingham, UK.

This is the single episode of ST: Roddenbury, which ended, "To be continued..." but never was:

Part 1 of 2 (5:21) (2004) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-AWalhy63EgY/star_trek_roddenberry_part_one_of_two_fanfilm/
Part 2 of 2 (7:28)  

This was the beginning of an series out of Nottingham, England.  There are no definitive plans to finish this film, which, at 12:49, could be classified as a 'major' fan film.  Sound and video quality are pretty poor, and the date, 2004, seems clearly past reasonable expectations of a continuation.  Donald Leveratt and Robert Yates are the major movers.  The story is not complete.

In a PM dated February 17, 2012, Wardmarshall has stated that he does not intend to continue either of these as a series, but might still create an ending to Star Trek Roddenbury.
