==Cast==
Although the focus of the show was the long-term voyage of the starship Enterprise, there were a few principal cast members that appeared in nearly every episode:
 
'''Captain James T. Kirk''', portrayed by [[William Shatner]], was the captain of the ship.  Although many of the shows included him as the chief protagonist, sometimes the amount of time he appeared on-screen was relatively short but significant to the episode's plot.
 
'''Spock''' (often refered to as "Mister Spock"), the pointy-eared Vulcan, portrayed by [[Leonard Nimoy]], was the second in command in Kirk's absence. 
 
'''Doctor McCoy''', played by [[DeForest Kelley]]: the ship's doctor, surgeon, and nurse. 
 
'''Uhura''', played by [[Nichelle Nichols]] was an especially significant character in the show; her gender and race played a major part of the show's accomplishment in representing a democratic demographic in a major television series.
 
'''Scotty''', referred to as Mister Scott, played by [[James Doohan]] was the ship's engineer and the man responsible for operating the transporter or "beamer", as in the phrase "Beam me up, Scotty."
 
'''Sulu''', a helmsman, played by [[George Takei]].
 
'''Chekov''', another helmsman played by [[Walter Koenig]].
