'Star Trek' is a 'Wagon Train' concept - built around characters who travel to worlds 'similar' to our own, and meet the action-adventure-drama which become our stories. Their transportation is the cruiser 'S. S. Yorktown,' performing a well-defined and long-range Exploration-Science-Security mission which helps create our format.
