For discussion of the Star Trek franchise from a real world perspective, see Star Trek (franchise).

Star Trek was a popular American science fiction television series of the 1960s, which spawned a long-standing entertainment franchise that included motion pictures and additional TV series lasting into the 21st century. It featured, among other characters, Mr. Spock, Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy. Star Trek had many avid followers, who felt thrilled at the debut of movies based on the series beginning in the late 1970s. (NA: Return of the Living Dad)

The Star Trek franchise faded out of public consciousness within a few centuries. 26th century native Bernice Summerfield thought it was a documentary when she first saw it, and 51st century native Jack Harkness was unfamiliar with the name "Spock" (DW: The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances).

History of the franchise

The first Star Trek episode; The Cage, was filmed in 1964 (but not actually aired until 1988). However no episodes of Star Trek were aired until the 8th September 1966 when, after the filming of a second pilot; Where No Man Has Gone Before, the NBC network began to air episodes starting with The Man Trap.

The Original Series

Star Trek (now titled; Star Trek: The Original Series to differentiate it from the franchise at large) ran for three seasons (1966-1969), almost only two but thankfully a letter writing campaign persuaded NBC to commission a third.

Despite its short life as a television series Star Trek had developed strong fan base. In 1967 Bantam Books began to publish novelizations of the episodes and later in 1970 published their first original novel, Spock Must Die!. However, they were not the only publisher granted the Star Trek license, Western Publishing were actually the first company to publish an original Star Trek work when in 1968 they published Mission to Horatius. Western were also the first company to publish Star Trek comic under their Gold Key Comics division. Their comics line started in July 1967 with The Planet of No Return, and continued until March of 1979.

In 1973, NBC began to air new Star Trek stories in Star Trek: The Animated Series (also originally entitled Star Trek). The series ran for two seasons with 22 episodes which were written by many of the writers of the live action series and featured the voices of much of the original cast reprising all the original characters except for Pavel Chekov as well as the return of a number of guest characters. Following TAS Ballantine Books, like Bantam before, published a series of novelizations written by Alan Dean Foster.

In 1979 the first Star Trek film was released Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The year also saw the comics licence being taken over by Marvel Comics starting with a comic adaptation of the film. Similarly the novel licence was taken over by Pocket Books (part of the franchise owners at the time Paramount Pictures) who also started with an adaptation of The Motion Picture and continue to publish Star Trek works to this day.

Five more Original Series movies were created between 1982 and 1991 and in 1984 DC Comics took over the comics licence.

The Next Generation

In 1987, Gene Roddenberry, the creator of the Orginal Series moved the franchise forward a century and began Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994). The novel and comic publishers quickly began to produce new works based on the new series, whilst continuing production of Original Series works.

In 1993, a second spin-off series began; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999). Unlike the previous series, DS9 was set on a space station and developed into a far more interconnected series due to this not having so much opportunity to boldly go and find an alien of the week. Whilst DC Comics continued to published TOS and TNG comics a new publisher Malibu Comics was granted the license to produce DS9 works.

In 1995, following the final season of TNG, another spin-off was launched; Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001), set on a starship once again but this time on the other side of the galaxy boldly returning home. Also in 1995 Marvel comics purchased Malibu comics and took over the Star Trek comics license from DC. In 1996 Marvel launched the first non-TV series, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and a year later in 1997 followed with another series based on the adventures of the crew from the original pilot episode in Star Trek: Early Voyages. Also that year Pocket Books began the first original novel series Star Trek: New Frontier written by Peter David. In 1998 Activision obtained a ten year license to produce Star Trek Computer games, and in 1999 Wildstorm Comics took over the Star Trek comics license.

A New Era

In 2000, Pocket Books began a second book only series Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers but in a whole new format, the series is released as eBooks. The following year Pocket Books launched another new adventure; following the end of Deep Space Nine's televised adventures in 1999 Pocket Books relaunched the series in novel form. Also this year Voyager finished her journey home and a new TV series; Star Trek: Enterprise was launched in 2001. In 2005, due to low ratings, Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled after only four seasons. Finally for the first time since 1967, as Wildstorm's license lapsed, in 2002, there was no publisher of Star Trek comics.

In 2002, another novel series began; Star Trek: Stargazer chronicling Jean-Luc Picard's first command. The year also saw the release of the tenth star trek movie; Star Trek Nemesis. Meanwhile Enterprise was struggling to produce the desired ratings and in 2003 Activision pulled out of its license to produce Star Trek games, claiming the franchise was stagnating and incapable of supporting new game production. However not all was failing, yet another novel series Star Trek: IKS Gorkon was also launched in 2003.

Fatigue and reawakening

In 2005, despite two relaunches of the series, Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled. In 2006, the franchise owner Paramount was split in two entities, with ownership of the franchise being transferred to CBS Paramount Television with Paramount Pictures retaining a license to produce new films.

Whilst the age of Star Trek television is over (for now), the franchise is far from dead. The year 2004 saw TOKYOPOP take on a license to produce Star Trek Manga and 2005 saw the launch of two new spin-off book series Star Trek: Titan and Star Trek: Vanguard.

In The Original Series' 40th Anniversary year Bethesda Softworks announced it had taken on the Star Trek games license and Paramount Pictures revealed an eleventh Star Trek film was in production. Further, Star Trek did make its return to TV in Star Trek: Remastered, Original Series episodes reinvigorated with the original footage restored to its full glory and brand new CGI special effects.

The 20th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation, in 2007, began with IDW Publishing buying the right to make Star Trek comics again, starting with The Space Between. In September, Pocket Books will also be adding a new series of The Next Generation books in honor of the anniversary. Aside from the anniversary of ST: TNG, an IDW Star Trek: The Original Series mini-series about the Klingons, called Klingons: Blood Will Tell, is set to come out in mid 2007.

From Muppet Wiki

The Star Trek franchise consists of five live-action (and one animated) TV series and eleven motion pictures, which boldly go where no one has gone before. The franchise began with the original Star Trek, which ran from 1966 until 1969, and the most recent incarnation, Enterprise, ran from 2001 until 2005. The franchise was successfully "re-booted" with a popular new film in 2009. As with Star Wars, the franchise has also been complemented by an array of video games, comic books, novels, audio dramatizations, and action figures. The Muppets have spoofed Star Trek on many occasions over the years.

References to Star Trek

Sesame Street

• Sesame Street Episode 3698 is part of a story arc in which Slimey the Worm ventures to the Moon. The episode closes with a mission statement inspired by the narration that begins each episode of Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. The space shuttle that takes the worms into space, the wormship Wiggleprise, is also a spoof on Star Trek’s Enterprise.

• Spaceship Surprise on Sesame Street parodied aspects of the original Star Trek, and the later incarnation Spaceship Surprise: The Next Generation specifically spoofed the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

• A Super Morphin Mega Monsters sketch on Sesame Street features the classic "door opening" sound effect used on the original 1960s Star Trek series when Zostic's minions enter his lair to do his bidding.

• Wanda Cousteau's mission on Sesame Street is a reference to the opening narration from Star Trek. When she announces her mission, a music cue plays that is similar to the Star Trek: The Next Generation theme.

• Patrick Stewart, famous for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, appeared in a segment with The Count. When The Count has trouble getting a set of Muppet numbers to stay in line, Stewart helps him out by commanding, "Make it so, Number One!" This is a reference to an oft-spoken phrase by his Trek character to his first officer. (YouTube)

• Some German Sesamstrasse merchandise (mainly postcards) has featured Ernie and Bert dressed as Starfleet officers.

• In episode 4039 of Sesame Street, Bob greets Elmo and Zoe (who are pretending to be aliens) with the Vulcan hand sign and a Star Wars line.

• In the animated short that appears in "i-Sam", the fourth chapter of A Sesame Street Christmas Carol, the voice-over narrator says: "And now your holiday will boldly go where no holiday has gone before," a reference to the title sequence of both the original Star Trek and Star Trek: The next Generation television series. The narrator continues: "In the future, Santa will use a rocket sled." Santa Claus is shown seated in a captains chair similar to that of the Starship Enterprise, with a reindeer as a crew member. Santa says "That's Earth. Warp factor three," to which the reindeer responds "Aye, captain."

• Episode 3845 features The Amazing Mumford making a play of McCoy's oft-quoted line, "I'm a magician, not a contractor!"

The Muppets

• "Pigs in Space" is the Muppet Show spoof of the original Star Trek series. Sketches take place on the Swinetrek, and stories involve its crew travelling through space to the unknown regions of the universe.

• The score for Muppets from Space incorporates Alexander Courage's music for the original Star Trek during a speech made by K. Edgar Singer, which is reminiscent of William Shatner's voice-over from the original series. In the same scene, Gonzo supporters carry signs that read, "Beam Me Up, Gonzo," another reference to a famously paraphrased line from the original Star Trek series.

• The March 1980 cover of Crazy and April 1980 cover of Frantic feature an illustrated crossover involving the Pigs in Space crew and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise (William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

• Muppet Magazine issue 3 features what is mostly a Star Wars parody on board a ship resembling the Millenium Falcon. At the end of the comic, the U.S.S. Enterprise shows up and blasts the much smaller ship with its phasers.

• Several episodes of Muppet Babies feature Star Trek parodies. In episode 618, Baby Scooter is watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and imagines himself floating in space next to the U.S.S. Enterprise-D (it should be noted that Scooter anticipates the arrival of Captain Kirk, however the captain of the ship as featured is Captain Picard). Other episodes featuring spoofs and references include episode 207 and episode 701.

• In the Little Muppet Monsters episode "Space Cowboys," twice Tug narrates a space log, a common story device in Star Trek. His narrative also mentions ventures into "strange new worlds." Later, Tugs announces "Let's boldly go where no monsters have gone before!" Both quotes are references to the title sequence of the original Star Trek television series.

• The 14th volume of "Gonzo's Weirder Than Me" column in the Spring 1986 issue of Muppet Magazine features a photo of the alien Balok as seen in the 1960s series episode, "The Corbomite Maneuver." Gonzo comments that it's easy to see why this stunning creature made space a place no man had gone before.

• In the Winter 1987 issue of Muppet Magazine, Janice reviews Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, commenting that its premise of traveling back in time to 1986 Earth is "gnarly." A photo of William Shatner as Captain Kirk is featured.

• Gonzo appears in the Jim Henson Hour Pitch Reel and asks of Jim Henson, "Beam me up, Jimmy!" This is a reference to the oft-parodied, but misquoted, line from the original Star Trek in which Captain Kirk would order chief engineer Mr. Scott to transport the landing party back to the Enterprise.

• In Muppet Magazine issue 19, the Muppet Babies appear in a comic spoof titled Star Cluck.

• Muppet Babies Comics issue #3 (Harvey) included a Star Trek story, "Out of This World". The story featured Kermit as Captain Kermit, Gonzo as Spock, Rowlf as Scotty, Scooter and Skeeter as Sulu and Chekov, and Piggy as a space princess. The Babies' spaceship (which looks a great deal like the Swinetrek) runs out of fuel on their way to bring Princess Piggy back to her home planet. The ship makes an emergency landing on Jokeville, where everything is a gag. This story was written by Muppet writer Bill Prady.

• "Pigs in Space: Deep Dish Nine" was an attempt to update the classic Pigs in Space sketches from The Muppet Show to a new Muppet series, Muppets Tonight, in the same way Gene Roddenberry came back to his Star Trek universe in the 1980s series, Star Trek: The Next Generation.

• First Mate Piggy made an appearance in the Special Collector's Edition of the Star Trek: 30 Years magazine in a section dedicated to celebrity experiences with Star Trek. In her interview, Piggy confesses that she is too young to have seen the original series on television, but became a devoted fan during reruns.

• The 1997 Muppet Parody Calendar: The Sequel features a spoof of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In a scene on a transporter platform, Gonzo is dressed as Mr. Spock, Kermit as Captain Kirk, and Miss Piggy is showering covered only in bubbles: "The Bath of Pig." This was also printed as a wall poster.

• In the Muppets Tonight episode (Episode 211) where Andie MacDowell guest starred it was established Beaker is a Trekkie.

• In one installment of The Muppets comic strip (reprinted in Moving Right Along), Fozzie Bear refers to the daunting task of cleaning his room as "To boldly go where no bear has gone before!", a reference to the title sequence of the original Star Trek television series.

• Another installment of The Muppets comic strip (reprinted in On the Town) features Dr. Julius Strangepork and First Mate Piggy engaged by "Clingons," a popular joke about Star Trek's alien race of Klingons.

Muppet Mentions

• In the 1988 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone," a character from the 20th century finds herself 400 years in her future on board the starship Enterprise-D. When researching what has become of her descendants, a graphical family tree shows amongst the names, Kermit T. Frog, Miss Piggy, Mary Richards and several actors who have portrayed the Doctor on Doctor Who. ^[1]

• Miss Piggy was interviewed for the Star Trek 30 Years celebration magazine in 1996 (pg. 74). Featured as a famous player sharing Star Trek memories in her role as First Mate of the Swinetrek, she claims to have been far too young to have seen the original series on the air, but that she became a devoted fan in reruns. A mention was also made of her run-in with Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy who appeared in a "Pigs in Space: Deep Dish Nine" sketch on Muppets Tonight.

Comparison

See also: Star Trek vs. Star Wars

Lucas proposed that "space fantasy" was a term that better fit the story of Star Wars than "science fiction", while Roddenberry described Star Trek as "dramatic" and "science fiction" (see Star Trek is...). Therefore Star Trek and Star Wars are portrayed in very different ways;

Star Trek attempts to represent a utopian society and the technology of a Human civilization only a few centuries distant from now as they encounter aliens. There exists a connection in continuity between real past, present history, and the Star Trek saga. Historical personalities are frequently mentioned alongside fictional characters, and alternative history explanations are sometimes given for facts (for example, ancient Greek gods, Leonardo da Vinci and Jack the Ripper had been alien immigrants, and the three aliens in Roswell were Ferengi whose spacecraft was thrown back in time en route to Earth), or mentioning totally fictional alternative history events such as the Eugenics Wars, which supposedly devastated Earth at the end of the 20th century (still well into the future when they were first mentioned in 1967); in addition sometimes action takes place in real Earth places, such as Paris and San Francisco where Starfleet headquarters are located. Star Trek focuses on the voyages of various starship or space station crews commissioned by Starfleet, the deep space exploratory, scientific, diplomatic, and militaristic branch of the United Federation of Planets. However, the series is not devoid of fantasy elements, including supernatural beings with inexplicable, godlike powers.

Star Wars is more distant, set "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away", alluding to a classic space opera. Its setting is totally unrelated to Earth (with the exception of a few ambiguous or semi-canonical references), our galaxy, or our modern world. Although the Star Wars galaxy features Human beings that look like Humans from Earth, they are part of an ancient space-faring galactic community that has thrived for hundreds of thousands of years along with alien beings. Star Wars also mixes science fiction with religion, mythology and politics and contains story elements of the sort found in mythological epics as well as ancient civilizations (e.g. The fall of the Roman republic, which influenced the political themes of Star Wars. The Samurai, which influenced the idea of Jedi Knights. Witches, Princes show signs of mythology). Star Wars centralizes on wars and space battles revolving around an ailing Galactic Republic against the evil Sith and Galactic Empires; and the Jedi Knights who wield the mystical Force and their signature lightsabers.

Confusing the two

It is an observed phenomenon that Star Trek is often confused with Star Wars by people not acquainted with science fiction; for example in her interview in "Inside the Actor's Studio" series, Natalie Portman stated that when her agent first told her about the new Star Wars Trilogy she didn't know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek.

In September 2008, Large Hadron Collider physicist Michael Zeller said, "What did they say in 'Star Wars'? We're going where no man has ever been? Well, that's where we're going."^[1]

In the "Mirror Mirror" article published in InQuest Gamer 39, Wizard Entertainment gave an explanation for the two universes being joined together so that CCG players could use the two systems together. It is unclear, however, if this article is canon.

Corpus

Unlike Star Wars, the Star Trek canon consists almost exclusively of the live-action productions:

• TV series:
  • Star Trek: Enterprise (2001 - 2005)
  • Star Trek: The Original Series (1966 - 1969)
  • Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987 - 1994)
  • Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993 - 1999)
  • Star Trek: Voyager (1995 - 2001)

• Films:
  • Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
  • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
  • Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
  • Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
  • Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
  • Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
  • Star Trek: Generations (1994)
  • Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
  • Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
  • Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
  • Star Trek (2009)

If we are to use Star Wars terminology, the above are equal to G-canon except Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (which Gene Roddenberry rejected)) and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (unknown portions were rejected) that can be equalled as S-canon. All other officially licensed stories, such as novels, comics, and games—since not considered canon in Star Trek—are equal to N-canon in Star Wars terms.

However, "elements" of Star Trek: The Animated Series are considered canon, as subsequent live-action shows have made several references to locations or species from the animated series.^[2][3][4] The Voyager spin-off novels Mosaic and Pathways (both penned by showrunner Jeri Taylor), are also considered canon, despite the fact that elements of them are contradicted by the show. These works therefore can also be compared to S-canon.

Additionally, the Voyager episode "Threshold" has been deemed unofficially non-canonical by its creators. But since it is still officially as canonical as any other episode, it can still be compared to G-canon.

Connections and/or similarities to Star Wars

• The shuttle NGC-1710 may be a reference to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701).
• Clive Revill, Jason Wingreen, Phil Fondacaro, Fionnula Flanagan, Felix Silla and Carel Struycken are the six actors to have been in a Star Wars movie and a Star Trek episode.
  • Clive Revill, however, has been removed from the Star Wars Canon following the release of the original trilogy DVD set, where the scene with Palpatine is re-filmed with Ian McDiarmid playing the role.
• Brock Peters, who voiced Darth Vader in the Star Wars radio dramas, appeared as Admiral Cartwright in two Star Trek films and Joseph Sisko, Captain Sisko's father, on DS9.
• Alan Dean Foster, ghost writer of A New Hope novelisation and author of some Expanded Universe novels (Splinter of the Mind's Eye, The Approaching Storm) is also an author of Star Trek: The Motion Picture story, and several of Star Trek novelizations (Star Trek Logs series based on Star Trek: The Animated Series and 2009's Star Trek novel).
• Vonda N. McIntyre was a Star Trek author prior to her writing The Crystal Star, her works including the novelizations of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
• A.C. Crispin also wrote Star Trek novels prior to her Star Wars work.
• Greg Bear wrote the Star Wars novel Rogue Planet and the Star Trek novel Corona.
• Rogue Planet is also the name of an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.
• Michael Reaves wrote the screenplay of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Where No One Has Gone Before.
• Michael Stackpole helped designed the game Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and helped write Star Trek: Judgment Rites.
• Amy Earhart and Trey Stokes, creators of the Pink Five fan film trilogy, were invited to appear as background alien characters in two episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise, because the producers of Enterprise were Pink Five fans.
• Raphael Sbarge had a recurring role in Star Trek: Voyager.
• ILM has provided the special effects for most of the Star Trek movies, and the Next Generation episode Encounter at Farpoint.
• Raven Software was contacted to develop Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast after they developed Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force.
• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine references Ubese armor (in form of the Breen uniforms).
• In Vader's Quest, Dubravans are seen playing with cards that have the Starfleet insignia.
• The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game quest "The Trouble with Gizka" is likely a reference to the Star Trek episode entitled "The Trouble with Tribbles". Also, HK-47's line "Dammit, master, I'm an assassination droid, not a dictionary!" is similar to Dr. McCoy's frequent catch-phrase from the series - an oddly appropriate choice for such a reference, as 47 holds a place in Trek lore similar to that of 1138.
• Ethan Phillips, who is known for portraying Neelix in Star Trek Voyager, provided voices for several characters in Knights of the Old Republic.
• Additionally, numerous voice actors have appeared in both Star Wars and Star Trek games.
• During the Battle of Geonosis as depicted in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, when Kit Fisto executes a Force Push on a droid created by welding C-3PO's head to the body of a B1 battle droid, his hand is arranged similarly to that of a Vulcan Salute.
• When Qui-Gon Jinn uses the Force to sedate Jar Jar Binks during a bongo ride from Otoh Gunga to Theed, he places his hand on Jar Jar's shoulder as if administering a Vulcan nerve pinch, which has the same effect.
• The expanding equatorial ring explosion effect was used originally in the explosion of Praxis in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and became known as the "Praxis Effect". It was later added to the special editions of ANH and RotJ Death Star explosions, to some criticism and controversy.

• A CGI model of the Millennium Falcon (created for the Star Wars special edition) was inserted into the Borg attack on Earth shown in Star Trek: First Contact by John Knoll. The ship is, however, indistinguishable.
• The Borg sphere, first seen in that same ILM-made battle scene, bears a striking resemblance to the Death Star, a similarity which, while they took steps to ensure it wasn't too obvious (most notably with its jagged, pockmarked outer hull), its designers at ILM have stated is largely intentional - in one Voyager episode, a schematic of the sphere looks almost exactly like the Death Star as it appeared in the briefing prior to the Battle of Yavin.
• A CGI model of R2-D2 was inserted into the new Star Trek film where the Enterprise warps into a debris field created by the other destroyed Federation Starships.^[5]
• Telos IV was possibly named after Talos IV from the Star Trek pilot episode. Like Talos IV, Telos IV's surface was completely devastated.
  • Alternatively, it may also be a reference to the planet Telos from the Dr. Who episodes The Tomb of the Cybermen and Attack of the Cybermen.
• The Xindi superweapon in Star Trek: Enterprise bears a resemblance to the Death Star, although the specific effects associated with the weapon are different.
• The torpedoes employed by the Suncrusher are similar in function to the Trilithium weapon employed in Star Trek: Generations. Both cause stars to go supernova, destroying the solar systems that these stars were located in. However, both of these weapons first entered the continuity of their respective universes in 1994, so it is unlikely that one of these inspired the other.
• The visual style of the planet-busting weapon of Species 8472 strongly resembles that of the Death Star, with eight tributary beams converging to form a single blast.
• In Episode I, when Queen Amidala looks out at the night Coruscant, a ship just like the Enterprise flies by in the traffic.
• Darryl Henriques, who voiced Wicket W. Warrick in Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, also portrayed the character Portal 63 in the episode entitled "The Last Outpost" of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the character Ambassador Nanclus in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
• Deep Roy, who played Droopy McCool, a member of the Max Rebo Band, as well as an Ewok, in ROTJ, appeared in Star Trek as Keenser.
• Cully Fredricksen, whose voice and likeness were used for Rahm Kota, played the Vulcan ship captain (who it been suggested, but never stated in canon, is Solkar, great-grandfather of Spock) - the first acknowledged alien to set foot on Earth - in Star Trek: First Contact.
• The crew of the original Enterprise can be spotted in Jomark in the third issue of the comic adaptation of Dark Force Rising.
• The ISS Avenger from the Star Trek: Enterprise episode In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II, which takes place in parallel universe where Starfleet is in service not to the Federation but a Human-dominated Empire, was named after the Star Destroyer from ESB.
• The New Republic and the Federation both had a Nebula-class spacecraft, both of which are smaller than the leading capital ships (Imperial and Galaxy-class), but still quite powerful.
• For the 2009 Star Trek film, the actor Chris Pine, who is playing Captain Kirk, said that his performance was inspired by Han Solo and Indiana Jones.^[6]
• Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt, a self-confessed Star Trek fan, provided sound designer work on the Star Trek film.
• Many names for certain materials and several worlds exist in both universes:
  • Star Trek has a planet called Alderaan. "Alderaan Spaceport" is mentioned in an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine while an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation mentions a diplomatic mission to Alderaan, a reference to the cover used by Tantive IV while delivering the Death Star plans to the Rebel Alliance.
  • Star Trek: Voyager has races called the Quarren, the B'omar and the Bothans and a character named Kashyk.
  • Duranium and Neutronium were originally in Star Trek.
  • Turkana was also in Star Trek
  • Yoda: Dark Rendezvous has a species called the Tholians.
  • In Mirror, Mirror, an article in InQuest 39, Star Trek characters such as Jean-Luc Picard, Data, Worf, Riker and Geordi are given a story in the Star Wars universe. Additionally, the ships U.S.S. Enterprise-D and U.S.S. Enterprise-E are mentioned, along with other concepts such as a Soong-Type Android, United Federation of Planets, Starfleet, Starfleet Academy, Klingon and Borg. "Mirror, Mirror" was also the name of the episode in which the afformentioned parallel universe was seen for the first time.
  • Subspace and phasers are concepts present in both Star Trek and Star Wars.
