>From the Star Trek Renegades Facebook page, the series is being reworked as non-Trek, despite having Chekov, Tuvok, and other Trek characters (and the original actors who play them). In fact, the next episode in the "series" was initially described as Walter's last on-screen appearance as Chekov. Nevertheless, the series has been renamed (simply) Renegades, though I doubt future episodes of a free random scifi series will get as much Kickstarter backing.
