Ever wanted to tout your "fan cred"? Star Trek fans love to display their insider's passion for their favorite universe — even more so if it's done in a cool, all-new way in their home or office. How about a stately, authentic diploma that shows your graduation from Starfleet Academy, or Starfleet Medical or Engineering school? Or your survival of the infamous "Kobayashi Maru" test? What about a cabin assignment on your starship of choice, or a deed to a lot on Vulcan or Qo'noS with the appropriate "legal" ruffles and flourishes?

They would have to be of the handsomest papers, of course, with beautiful foils and inks — and with unique controls and numbering. Being "certified" with appropriate and actual inked signatures by the likes of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and/or Patrick Stewart ... or, say, Robert "Gowron" O'Reilly and J.G. "Martok" Hertzler ... would just add to the coolness factor, right?

That's the idea behind an all-new line of beautiful diplomas, real estate deeds, and other licensed items from the Star Trek realm being launched Aug. 9 at the annual Las Vegas Star Trek Convention by Star Trek Properties, a new branch of Enterprise Enterprises and Entheos Virtuality in Toms River, New Jersey. What's more, the line also utilizes the talents of celebrated Star Trek designers and authors Mike and Denise Okuda to bring just the right look and feel to each piece, no matter which Star Trek era or series is involved. Not only can most items be personalized and made unique, there's even a range of prices and autographs available — including the Okudas'.
