"Star Trek Continues" and "Star Trek Renegades" are two web-based Trek fan-fiction with preexisting sets and full production teams standing by. Both series are deeply rooted with crew from the Paramount Trek shows. If the CBSAA Trek series is based in the so-called TOS era, they could conceivably have immediate access to sets, wardrobe, makeup, VFX, music, etc. if they aligned with the "Continues" team (they have a fully authentic recreation of the original Enterprise bridge, transporter room, crew quarters, hallways, and most recently the engine room). The Renegades production is decidedly less expansive, but it could also theoretically be used as a basis for something new, thus minimizing a lot of preproduction time. Ordinarily, it would be quite a stretch to consider an actual studio joining forces with fan-produced content, but CBS/Paramount has been very helpful with Trek fan fiction over the years, and it is less of a stretch to consider them working with such groups on web-based content.
