Starship Shinano - Rescue The Albatross (Official Music Video)

My music video detailing how the Federation sent three starships led by the Shinano to rescue the Albatross (the Unit XY-75847 that Uhura referenced in 'Errand of Mercy'). VFX done in Blender by me. Lyrics by me. Music generated by Songgenerator.io.

SHINANO REBORN
Lyrics by Ken Mayes

[Verse 1]
Far out in the deep reaches of space,
the Klingons were ahead in the arms race,
Federation officials remained blind to the crime,
Hoping for peace, peace in our time

[Verse 2]
But the Klingons planned for war,
to regain what they'd lost.
A secret invasion,
the dice they were tossed.

[Chorus]
Starship Shinano, black sheep of the fleet,
No one could guess that she couldn't be beat.
In the cold of space, when the call came,
she rushed in, and earned her fame.

[Verse 3]
On the border, the Albatross trolled,
a mission so secret, brave and bold.
Scan for the Klingons, a warning to all,
Danger so strong, but Dillon had gall.

[Verse 4]
The Klingons pounced, chased Dillon to ground.
An asteroid field where he couldn't be found.
A call for help, the Albatross sent.
To the Klingons he'd pay, not one red cent.

[Chorus]
Starship Shinano, black sheep of the fleet,
No one could guess that she couldn't be beat.
In the cold of space, when the call came,
she rushed in strong, and earned her fame.

[Verse 5]
On Station K-2, Vandenboss got the call,
He assembled a strike force, rescue them all.
The Eagle, Coronado, and Shinano set out
Rescue the Albatross, the Klingons they'd route.

[Verse 6]
Vanguard fighters launch, the battle engaged,
The Klingons outmatched, left them enraged.
Four D-Sevens completely destroyed.
The last two retreat, mighty annoyed.

[Verse 7]
The Albatross saved, the war avoided,
Klingon aggression, the Organians voided.
But Shinano was held to be too over powered,
so a refit was decreed, her reputation towered.

[Chorus]
Starship Shinano, black sheep of the fleet,
No one could guess that she couldn't be beat.
In the cold of space, when the call came,
she rushed in, and earned her fame.
