An Alternate Trek
A late 20th century popcultural, Star Trek themed timeline, set in the United Kingdom. Created by Lindseyman in cooperation with various other AH.commers, particularly viewcode.
While the timeline is a smaller project, its development has been ongoing since 2013. You can find it here.
Premise and POD
What if the original 1960s Star Trek was produced by the British on ITV instead of Americans on NBC ?
The timeline started out primarily as a discussion of what could the original, 1960s Star Trek have been like, had it been sold by Roddenberry to a British television broadcaster instead of an American one. Over time, the discussion started morphing into a more coherent timeline, with Lindseyman as the main compiler and author of the approved ATL ideas.
Chapters
For greater ease of reading and finding individual chapters, the timeline's large amount of chapters is sorted into more specific sections.
