The Adventures of Captain Proton

The Adventures of Captain Proton is a Science Fiction adventure serial and holodeck novel from the television series Star_Trek:_Voyager. The program is designed by officers Tom Paris and Harry Kim to capture the spirit of the adventure serials from the 1930s and 40s, complete with over-the-top acting, bad dialog, and a noticeable low budget. To make this a unique experience the holoprojectors have created a monochromatic (black and white) environment.

"Captain Proton" is the heroic lead, based heavily on Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and Commando Cody. Replicas of Cody's costume were used to create the Captain Proton ensemble. Captain Proton can be thought of as a meta-fiction character, in that he is fictional within the fictional universe of Star Trek.
