(July 1, 2005) — The first part of Starship Exeter: The Tressaurian Intersection has been released and can be downloaded at
www.starshipexeter.com. The entire episode will be released in serial format and distributed via the Internet over the next several weeks.

Upon its initial release in December of 2002, Savage Empire attracted attention and praise from genre and mainstream press outlets both online and in print.
USA Today hailed it as “A fine example of the heights that can be reached in online productions”, while the
SCI FI Channel's online news service called it “better than some of the ‘official’ Trek that's been produced”, adding that “Everything about the episode broadcasts authenticity”.
A mention of The Savage Empire on
www.slashdot.com in January of 2003 resulted in an upsurge of demand so great that Apple Inc., which hosts
www.starshipexeter.com, had to shut the site down for six hours while mirror download servers were set up.
Starship Exeter is an Exeter Studio production. Exeter Studio is a non-profit corporation organized in the State of Texas for the purpose of creating science fiction, fantasy, and mystery stories for development as independent film, video, and audio presentations.
