The Red Shirt Diaries releases teaser trailer

If you're like us, you've seen every episode of The Original Series dozens of times. Okay... hundreds. But we've always seen the stories from the perspective of the senior staff. What's life really like for the Enterprise's minions? Especially those wearing red? A ten-part comedic web series aims to show you the other side of the seniority ladder as Ensign Williams tries to stay alive to the end of the first ten episodes of TOS.

Watch the Red Shirt Diaries trailer.

Vancouver dad is selling his Star Trek boogie van

Remember the days when entering a van was like entering the Ritz? Diamond-quilted red velvet, a wet bar, and a comfortable bed wrapped in airbrushed metal featuring your favorite characters or wild animals? 1978 does, and one Vancouver dad is reluctantly letting go of his now that it's not compatible with family life.

See photos of the van.

The Official Star Trek Magazine marks its 50th issue

Star Trek news and insights have existed in print since the early days of fandom. From simple one-page newsletters to full-color publications like Star Trek Communicator and Titan's current publication, print has long been used to deliver news and commentary on our favorite franchise. As the (now-quarterly) Official Star Trek Magazine marks its 50th issue this summer, we ponder the future of magazines and whether the format is still relevant to today's fans.

See pages from the 50th issue.

Vulcan calling! Help decide the names of planets orbiting other stars

Help decide the names of planets orbiting other stars

A year ago Star Trek fans mobilized in an attempt to have one of Pluto's two newly discovered moons named Vulcan. They lost out to the far more appropriate names Kerberos and Styx. Now Trekkies have another chance to put the name of Spock's home planet into real-world use thanks to the International Astronomical Union and Zooniverse—and this time the potential worlds lie beyond our solar system.

Find out more and submit your naming suggestions.
