A pop culture icon, Star Trek has a cult following since its creation in 1966. An American space opera seen on TV series, movies, video games and books, Star Trek focuses on the interstellar missions of Captain Kirk and his team on the Starship USS Enterprise. They are a group of humans and aliens who serve in Starfleet, a peace-keeping program in outer space. Identified by their coloured shirts and trademark Star Trek emblem, the Blue shirts were the Scientists on board, like the famous Dr Spock.
