'''Star Trek''' is an American TV series created by [[Gene Roddenberry]], which premiered on [[NBC]] September 8th, 1966 and ended June 3rd, 1969.  The show featured a crew of space explorers traveling around the galaxy in a ''Constitution''-class starship called the ''USS Enterprise NCC-1701'', set in the 23rd century. Many different spin-offs of the original program have now been made, some of them featuring other starships that have been named ''Enterprise''.

It never caught on with late night viewers and was cancelled due to low ratings, but soon established a strong following in syndication that saw the show become much more popular than it had ever been in its original run.  The original TV show became a franchise.  Many different spin-offs of the original program have now been made, the last of which was a prequel with the original 'Enterprise' space ship.

The drama of the shows typically arises from the crew's contact with various forms of [[extraterrestrial life]], mostly [[humanoid]] but not all (eg the "Crystaline Entity"). In various ways, the [[premise]] of the [[ancient astronaut theory]] is used to assert the seeding of [[life]] throughout the [[galaxy]]. (However, not to the overt extent of the later TV series, [[SG-1]].)
