 +<wrap em>UPDATE</wrap> In a [[luh_studios|grim coda]] to the story of Axanar's ill-fated studio, its landlord died unexpectedly in January 2017, throwing into confusion assurances Peters gave donors when he was forced to [[studio_move|vacate the premises]] after running out of money to pay the rent. {{:axamonitor-ico.gif?nolink|}}
