Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })TekWar began as an idea of William Shatner’s. He turned to Ron Goulart, who took this idea and ghost-wrote nine TekWar novels. While those books were being published, TekWar was developed for television by Stephen Roloff and four made-for-TV films were created. The first three films, TekWar, TekLords and TekLab were adaptations of the first three novels, while the fourth film, TekJustice, was an original story.After those four films were made, the story continued as one eighteen episode television season. Sometimes the four films are regarded as Season 1, and the eighteen episodes are seen as Season 2. Other works related to TekWar include TekWorld, a comic book series, and William Shatner’s TekWar, a video game made by Capstone and released on the Build Engine.The plot to the series is as follows: Police officer Jake Cardigan is framed for murder, and dealing in “Tek,” a highly addictive computer chip that alters the user’s perception of the world. Cardigan is sentenced to serve fifteen years in cryo-imprisonment. Four years into his sentence he is released by Walter Bascom (Shatner), head of Cosmos, a private security firm. He gives Cardigan the choice of either working for him, or going back to the freezer. Reluctantly, Cardigan agrees and begins his looking for one of Bascom’s missing scientists. One who was working on something that seems to have attracted the attention of the drug lords who make Tek.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| TekWar / int_a8559a9f | comment |
The House of Stewart wasn't overthrown in this universe and stayed in power until 2009. The head of that family, Prince Albert is attempting to become elected so that he will lead England. His political rivals were a party called the Roundheads, who in Real Life fought against the English Monarchy in the 1600s. | |

| TekWar / int_bbd8d3f4 | comment |
Camelot and the Knights of King Arthur are apparently historically real, or at least, there is a sword that is believed to be Excalibur, discovered by a member of the House of Stewart who was an Adventurer Archaeologist. | |
