Space... The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before.

When Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in 1987, it was a brave experiment to see if the Star Trek universe could expand beyond Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy. And despite what some critics claim was a very rocky start, audiences embraced Captain Picard and the 1000-member crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D.
