For discussion of the Star Trek franchise from a real world perspective, see Star Trek (franchise).

Star Trek was a popular American science fiction television series of the 1960s, which spawned a long-standing entertainment franchise that included motion pictures and additional TV series lasting into the 21st century. It featured, among other characters, Mr. Spock, Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy. Star Trek had many avid followers, who were thrilled by the debuts of movies based on the series beginning in the late 1970s. (NA: Return of the Living Dad)

The Star Trek franchise faded out of public consciousness within a few centuries. 26th century native Bernice Summerfield thought it was a documentary when she first saw it, and 51st century native Jack Harkness was unfamiliar with the name "Spock" (DW: The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances).

  • Destrii watched a spacecraft design closely resembling that of the fictional Enterprise (DWM: Oblivion)
  • In The Blue Angel by Paul Magrs and Jeremy Hoad, Captain Robert B. Blandish of the Federation starship Nepotist clearly parodies Captain Kirk.
  • BFA: Bang-Bang-A-Boom! is a pastiche of Star Trek and its associated tropes and storytelling styles.
  • The space liner in A Christmas Carol was designed to parody several aspects of Star Trek. The bridge design mimicked the clean white surfaces of the 2009 revival film, along with the use of lens flares. The ship itself is referred to as a Galaxy class vessel, the same class of ship as the Enterprise D in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and one of the crewmen is a male of African descent who wears an odd piece of eyewear, similar to the Next Generation Character Geordi LaForge.
