Red indicated support services, such as communications, engineering, or security. Blue meant the sciences, including medicine. Gold uniforms indicated the wearer was on a command track. In TOS, uniform colors indicated the wearer’s role on the Enterprise.However, in the final episode of the preceding series TNG, “All Good Things,” Federation starships traveled at warp 13. Traveling at warp 10, as seen in Star Trek: Voyager, mutates humans into big salamander creatures. The Enterprise usually can operate safety from warp drive 1 to 9.2.When the particles interact, they destroy each other, giving off enough energy to allow the ship to warp into space. Warp engines work by allowing particles of matter and antimatter to commingle in a reaction chamber regulated by a dilithium crystal.On impulse drive, it would take 400,000 years for the Enterprise to cross the galaxy.In the Star Trek universe, Zefram Cochrane developed faster-than-light warp drive around 2061 and conducted his test flight to Steppenwolf’s "Magic Carpet Ride.".The Borg were initially conceptualized as being insects but took on their ultimate form due to budget restraints.He was also the first original cast member of TOS to pass away. DeForest Kelly (1920-1999) was the first of the three original members to appear on TNG.During the first season of TNG, Patrick Stewart had a sign over his door that read: “Beware of Unknown Shakespearean Actor.”.BBC Two finally aired the episode in 2007. The BBC banned a TNG first-season episode titled “Conspiracy” because of the graphic phaser death of Star Fleet Inspector Dexter Remmick, who was a host to a disgusting “ mother creature.” The BBC also did not air a 1990 TNG episode titled “High Ground” due to Data’s passing remark that Ireland would be reunified as a result of successful terrorist activities in 2024.Most male Vulcan names begin with “S” and most females’ names with a “T” followed by an apostrophe.Luckily, Roddenberry refused to cut Spock. Initially, NBC asked Gene Roddenberry to get rid of the “guy with the pointy ears” partly because they were worried about his “satanic” appearance.Įxecutives were afraid the "guy with the ears would scare the sh*t out of every kid in America” NBC executives, however, demanded the character be cut because they said audience members could not relate to such a powerful woman character. Gene Roddenberry initially cast girlfriend (and later wife) Majel Barrett as Captain Pike’s “Number One” (first officer) in the series first pilot.The Star Trek franchise includes six series: T he Original Series, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, totaling 726 episodes.
The film has earned high critical praise and has grossed more revenue than all previous Star Trek films.
