Science-fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry, which was followed by several movies and spin-off series.

== Television Series ==
* ''Star Trek'' (1966-1969)
* ''Star Trek'' (1973-1975) (animated series)
* ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' (1987-1994)
* ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'' (1993-1999)

== Star Trek's Influence ==

The original series's multicultural cast showed a vision of the future in which people of colour were a visible part of society, and Gene Roddenberry's inclusion of women on the bridge of a starship also demonstrated his liberalism. The network did not approve of having a female character as a second in command, however, and Majel Barrett's role as "Number One" was scrapped after the pilot episode.

Nichelle Nichols's role as [[Uhura|Lieutenant Uhura]], one of the first first African-American women on a major TV series and in a science fiction series, was such a landmark, however, than a conversation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. persuaded her to stay onto the series in spite of the poor treatment and lack of attention she received from the show's producers.

As [[Uhura]], Nichols also shared one of the first interracial kisses on US television with William Shatner, who played Captain James T. Kirk. This kiss was both controversial and groundbreaking, albeit that it was written as part of an "[[aliens made them do it]]" scenario.

The male multi-cultural characters on the original ''Star Trek'' crew were:
* Lieutenant Sulu (George Takei) (Japanese)
* Ensign Chekov (Walter Koenig) (Russian)
* Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) (Scottish)
and, for a science-fictional value of multirculturalism, the crew included a half-[[alien]] character, who became one of the most iconic characters of American popular culture:
* Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy) (of Vulcan and Human descent)

== Fandom ==
''Star Trek'' [[fandom]] is a grand-scale cultural phenomenon. ''Trek'' fans are nicknamed [[Trekkies]] or [[Trekkers]].

There have been movies made ''about'' fans of ''Star Trek''.

In the wake of the cancellation of the original series, ''Star Trek'' fans maintained their interest alive by writing [[fan fiction]] and [[fanzines]] about it.

[[Slash]] fiction earned its name from the pairing of two ''Star Trek'' characters: [[Kirk/Spock]].

=== Notable Feminist Star Trek Fans ===
* [[Joanna Russ]]
* [[James Tiptree, Jr.]]
* [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]

			The franchise has been critiqued for never, in any of its mainstream film or TV incarnations, having an explicitly gay character or same-sex romance, although it had a few episodes which included [[body switches]] or tangential approaches at sexual orientation and sexuality discrimination. The fan-produced series, "[[Hidden Frontier]]", did include gay characters.
