Early years
In 1996, Karl Miller was working for an Internet broadcasting company, Play TV, making a streaming Internet video show about Star Trek. Karl decided to form a band that only sang songs about Star Trek to fill time on the show. He had already been in bands with Jeff Hewitt as a teenager and the rest of the band fell into place quickly. Warp 11 formed in 1999 with Karl Miller, Brian Moore, Jeff Hewitt, and Kiki Stockhammer.
A new drummer
John Merlino, although not an official member of Warp 11, could often be seen playing drums for Warp 11 during concerts to allow Jeff to take center stage (or to relieve him when he was injured and couldn't play a full set—Warp 11's sets average close to two hours) and was unofficially given the rank of ensign in 2005. At a September 2007 performance in San Francisco, Karl hinted that Jeff had left the band due to physical problems resulting from numerous injuries. John Merlino was promoted from "ensign" to "number one" (commander or first officer) at that show. Karl stated that Jeff may return occasionally to lend his vocal talents, which he did for the CD release performance of "Suck My Spock Some More".
