What is Star Trek?

Star Trek is a science fiction universe that started as television series. The original series is from the 60s but since then they made quite a few more series, films, novels, games, etc. The original series, and also quite a few of the sequels, are based on the crew of a starship exploring the galaxies.

Some of the series and characters are:

Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS, 3 seasons) tells the adventures of the crew of starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) while exploring the galaxies. Captain James T. Kirk (played by William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Doctor McCoy (played by Jackson DeForest Kelley), Scotty (James Doohan), Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) and Hikaru Sulu (played by George Takei) are some of the members of the crew.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG, 7 seasons) tells the stories of the crew of USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) a different ship than the previous and also a century after The Original Series. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Steward), William Riker (played by Jonathan Frakes), Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Worf (Michael Dorn), Beverly Crusher (played by Gates McFadden), Deanna Troi (Martina Sirtis), Data (Brent Spiner) and Wesley Crusher (will Wheaton) are some of the staff on the starship.
