Star Trek
''Star Trek'' is an American science fiction media franchise created by Gene Roddenberry, which began with the eponymous 1960s television series and quickly became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon. The franchise has expanded into various films, television series, video games, novels, and comic books. With an estimated $10.6 billion in revenue, it is one of the most recognizable and highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The franchise began with ''Star Trek: The Original Series'', which debuted in the US on September 8, 1966 and aired for three seasons on NBC. It was first broadcast on September 6, 1966 on Canada's CTV network. It followed the voyages of the crew of the starship USS ''Enterprise'', a space exploration vessel built by the United Federation of Planets in the 23rd century, on a mission "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before".

Number One (Star Trek)
Una Chin-Riley, commonly and originally only known as Number One, is a fictional character in the science-fiction franchise ''Star Trek''. She is Christopher Pike's second-in-command during his captaincy of the starship ''Enterprise''. She first appeared, portrayed by Majel Barrett, in " The Cage", the initial 1965 pilot episode of the original series. The pilot was rejected and most of its characters, including Number One, were omitted from the second pilot and the subsequent series (the relationship between Spock and Kirk would emulate that of Number One and Pike). Footage from "The Cage" featuring the character was reused in the two-part story " The Menagerie" in 1966, establishing Pike and Number One as members of a previous crew of the ''Enterprise'' and part of the ''Star Trek'' canon; Barrett herself, who would become the wife of ''Star Trek'' creator Gene Roddenberry, would portray a number of unrelated characters in the franchise from 1966 to 2009, such as Nurse Chri ...

Television Pilot
A television pilot (also known as a pilot or a pilot episode and sometimes marketed as a tele-movie), in United States television, is a standalone episode of a television series that is used to sell a show to a television network or other distributor. A pilot is created to be a testing ground to gauge whether a series will be successful. It is, therefore, a test episode for the intended television series, an early step in the series development, much like pilot studies serve as precursors to the start of larger activity. A successful pilot may be used as the series premiere, the first aired episode of a new show, but sometimes a series' pilot may be aired as a later episode or never aired at all. Some series are commissioned straight-to-series without a pilot. On some occasions, pilots that were not ordered to series may also be broadcast as a standalone television film or special. A "backdoor pilot" is an episode of an existing series that heavily features supporting characters ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lwaxana Troi
This is a list of characters from the science fiction television series '' Star Trek: The Next Generation''. Characters are ordered alphabetically by family name, and only characters who played a significant recurring role in the series are listed. For further information about the primary cast of this show see List of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' cast members. Due to the nature of how ''Star Trek'' characters are often used elsewhere in the franchise, and high number of re-occurrences of non-regular cast members, the exact order can be ambiguous. Overview Ro Laren is an example of a recurring character that was introduced on ''TNG'', but did not make the leap to ''DS9.'' The line between regular cast, recurring character, and a guest star is sometimes a grey area on ''TNG''.
