Across most of the late 20th century and all of the 2000s, Star Trekstands as one of the most prominent fictional universes on the planet. The original series was led by William Shatner (Captain James T. Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Spock), Nichelle Nichols (Nyota Uhura), and George Takei (Hikaru Sulu), and is set in the Milky Way galaxy in the middle of the 23rd century, delivering one of the most memorable sci-fi stories in history. First centering on the USS Enterprise and its crew on a five-year mission to explore deep space, find new life, and go “where no man has gone before,” the show has now expanded into a media empire.
