CBS and publisher becker&mayer! have today announced that a (too long) anticipated fourth edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia is being planned for launch in 2016.
becker&mayer! showcased two pages of redesigned, placeholder data from their new Encyclopedia page design, full of color and clean-looking text, but retaining the same entry style of the classic editions.
"Bible, Wrath of Khan, what's the difference?"
Stan - South Park
"No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand."
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
Three editions of the Star Trek Encyclopedia were released throughout the 1990s, with the final version out in 1999 -- when the Dominion War was still raging, when the Voyager crew had barely begun to know Seven of Nine, when Commander Data was still alive... and before Jonathan Archer and the Enterprise NX-01 even existed in Rick Berman's mind.
I am shedding some nostalgic tears there.
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.
