Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn and John de Lancie will be on hand, representing Star Trek: The Next Generation, while Deep Space Nine's Alexander Siddig is also on board. Judson Scott, who played Joachim in The Wrath of Khan, Sobi in the TNG episode "Symbiosis" and Commander Rekar in the Voyager hour "Message in a Bottle," is guest #69. And the honor of being guest #70 belongs to Original Series legend George Takei.

"August sounds far away, but it's really not, so we're lining up our guests and locking down our very special events in anticipation of what should be an unforgettable weekend for our longtime attendees and for newcomers as well."
