action
Star Trek: Renegades
The Federation's main suppliers of Dilithium Crystals, which are needed for the flow of matter and antimatter in the warp reactors, are disappearing. Time and space have already folded around several planets and any contact with the planets seems impossible. It quickly becomes clear that the phenomenon is not natural, but that someone or something caused it on purpose. Admiral Pavel Chekov, the head of the Starfleet Secret Service, calls in Commander Tuvok, the former security officer of Voyager and now head of the autonomous defense organization of Starfleet. He is tasked, freed from the usual legal regulations, together with a newly formed crew, which consists largely of outcast and villainous criminals, to find out what is the cause of the folding of time and space and to stop the phenomenon at all costs.

Reviews
On robots-and-dragons.de, Hannes Könitzer judged Star Trek: Renegades that the " viewing value of the film is not that bad". "Unfortunately, the film fails completely in terms of content. (...) The story is so confused and constructed that the spark simply does not want to jump over. (...) If you had concentrated on a more compact story and one or the other If the secondary character were left out, a better film would have been made. "
