# Star Trek: Starfleet Is...: Celebrating the Federation's Ideals - Hardcover

by **Robb Pearlman** (Author), **Kenneth Mitchell** (Foreword by)

**What _is_ Starfleet?  
**  
**It is the universe's most famous and inspirational coalitions of all time. It has boldly gone where no pop culture franchise has gone before. It is the foundation for a thriving community of passionate fans.**

Creator Gene Roddenberry said _Star Trek_ "was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms . . . If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there."

After more than 50 years, 11 television series, 13 movies, and countless fan conventions later, _Star Trek_ fans of all ages continue to gather--in person or virtually-- and enjoy, share, and live up to Roddenberry's optimistic vision of the future.

Fully authorized and filled with full-color images spanning the entire canon, _Star Trek: Starfleet is..._ celebrates of Roddenberry's vision. This commemorative book highlights 50 of the key traits of the Star Trek universe and demonstrates, through memorable images and beautiful artwork, how these ideals are personified by everyone from Kirk and Spock, to Picard and Janeway, to Burnham and Mariner, and their voyages to everywhere from Earth to Vulcan, from Q'onoS to the Delta Quadrant, and even to the Mirror Universe and back in time--and how they are actively and sincerely lived by the _Star Trek_ fans themselves.

What is Starfleet? Starfleet is **fun**. Starfleet is **not always logical**. Starfleet is **adventure**. Starfleet is **brave**. Starfleet is **compassion**. Starfleet is **diverse**. Starfleet is **evolving**.

And it is by sharing their passions, supporting one another through difficult times, celebrating one another's successes, and boldly going into a bright and hopeful future that Star Trek fans show that, above all, Starfleet is **family**. Starfleet is **forever**.

**A portion of the proceeds from _Starfleet Is . . ._ will benefit ALS research.**
