Helpful information to the history that informs the world of Legend Trek - just in time for the next JJ Abrams Legend Trek movie! For a string occur our future, Legend Trek revisits the past constantly. Kirk and Spock struggle Nazis, Roman gladiators, and witness the Great Major depression. When they're not doubling back independently prior timelines, the crew uses the holodeck to invest time in the American Old Western world or Victorian England. Alien races have their own complex and fascinating histories, too. The Legend Trek universe is a sci-fi imagining of a future world that is rooted in our own human history. Gene Roddenberry created a television set show with a fresh world and new rules to be able to comment on social and politics issues of the 1960s, from the Vietnam Conflict and race relationships to the warfare on terror and women's privileges. Later Legend Trek series and films also grapple with the problems of their own decades: HIV, ecological risks, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and terrorism.

Can Nazi Germany shed light on the history and culture of the Cardassians?
