Prelude to Axanar (working title: Star Trek: Prelude to Axanar, and long title: The Four Years War Part III: Prelude to Axanar) is a 2014 fan-made short film, directed by Christian Gossett and written by Gossett and Alec Peters.^[1]^[2] Funded through Kickstarter, production sought $10,000 in funding, but raised $101,000.^[3] It had its public debut July 26, 2014, at San Diego Comic-Con.^[4]^[5]

Set in the Star Trek universe, the film stars Kate Vernon, Tony Todd, Richard Hatch, Gary Graham, and J. G. Hertzler, in a documentary-style film recounting the events surrounding the Battle of Axanar, mentioned without any detail in passing in the original Star Trek series episode "Whom Gods Destroy", here depicted as a decisive military engagement between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire.^[6]^[7]
