A short fan film exploring the adventures of the Starship Constar in the Star Trek universe.

Plot Summary:
"Requiem" centers on a tense meeting between Admiral Kirk and Captain Menard. Kirk informs Menard of a classified discovery: a planet composed of V’ger material that carried the Constar’s energy signature. He insists the matter is closed and warns Menard to let it go. Menard, however, voices his anger at the Federation’s secrecy, arguing that it dishonors the warriors lost in the attack and undermines the Federation’s supposed values of honesty and exploration. Though he tells Menard to move on, Kirk promises he is still seeking answers that will satisfy them both. The story takes a dramatic turn when sensors reveal a massive cloaked vessel—identified as a Borg cube. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Kirk declaring, “I’m an admiral,” underscoring his determination and authority in the face of the looming threat.
