The April Fool's joke from several months ago actually sparked some slow burn interest, and the guys at Chimera and Starship Locations, and at another blog site, did take notice. It just wasn't in any way viral, and not nearly controversial enough.
Starship Locations has our permission to name the ship the Megaverse and there was even a sketch done of it in July 2016.
Meanwhile, new Star Trek series Discovery, due out in May, does use some elements of the April Fools joke also, from an over the top seeming commander female, to a bisexual male officer, to a quirky alien, in this case a Klingon, and his crew.
Bryan Fuller though has left Discovery and will not be working for us either. He is doing American Gods.
This story never had an official sanctioned connection, although some of the guidelines for fan films made in June 2016 were very much like what Chimera82405 and the others discussed.
TrekYards, a web site that does fan ships and production interviews, accidentally uncovered two or three of our old connections from the 1990s, who blogged on their site.
Without realizing it, the TrekYards people referenced the idea of a silly My Little Pony character reference in a Star Trek story, and a Minion, so apparently at least they saw the post. Ha.
Starship Locations will not feature the My Lttle Pony or the Minion, but it will have some interesting characters, and a very similar ship.
