"A Wagon Train to the Stars." That was how writer/producer Gene Roddenberry pitched his 1964 Star Trek pilot, The Cage. More than 30 years later, his exploration continues. Across all quadrants of the galaxy, to worlds known and unknown, the Star Trek universe has expanded beyond any television creator's wildest dreams. Through four hit television series and eight epic features the cast, directors, writers and producers have remained loyal to Gene Roddenberry's original premise and Star Trek continues to blaze its own trail.

Now, the interactive reference to the entire Star Trek history -- thus far -- is available in a 4-CD-ROM set. Building on the popular Star Trek Omnipedia, this expanded database includes:
