"A sad day for Star Trek fans as the writer of the very first Star Trek episode has passed away at the age of 86. George Clayton Johnson penned the first Star Trek episode as well as the popular movie Logan’s Run. Johnson started his career writing for Alfred Hitchcock Presents, penning the “I’ll Take Care Of You” episode."​​

    he isnt the only one that should be on that, as others have recently passed on who were involved in trek as well;

    Penny Juday - an art department coordinator. she was the one responsible for everything you saw on trek, from prop chairs on a prop bridge to the other small objects on set, she is the one who gets the props needed for trek. she was responsible for this job in a number of trek films, from undiscovered country to nemesis and the series ds9.

    Diana Lupo - a stunt actress during insurrection. but she was more widely known for her stunts in almost two dozen of films she has been in over the years.

    T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.

    We need a memorial grounds zone somewhere appropriate on Earth, etc. That way, all involved in Trek that have passed on could be remembered. Sorta like the Normandy Memorial Grounds in France.

    There are already memorials in SFA, you could just add another one. Or a big one you append names to as people pass...

    This can start getting out of hand if this is used for every character, writer, director, etc. ever associated with the franchise. Sort of reminds me of quote from Spaceballs - 'I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate'
    'But to be logical is not to be right', and 'nothing' on God's earth could ever 'make it' right!'

    Actually the one for the staff of the TV show is at Vulcan.... it's the giant Spock statue. There's one at Mol'Rihan too. the Klingon version is a giant ugly hunk of metal that sits directly in front of the door to the council chamber, but across the plaza.

    you do know theres that same giant hunk of metal at ESD and NRC too right? Or are you talking about the pylon behind the slab?

    The memorial is becoming more of a "tally board."

    At this rate, why not just include all the gaffers, cameramen, hairstylists and gophers who got everyone's coffee and sandwiches on the set of all the ST movies and TV shows?

    Why not? I guess if those people were famous enough in those roles to be associated with Star Trek, they should be.

    They weren't famous enough to be associated with Star Trek. Just because there's a blurb in their obit saying they worked on ST or a fansite entered their name into a database to mark their passing doesn't mean they were "famous."

    But then again, that's besides the point. The STO Memorial, IMO, should have nothing to do with being famous. It should have to do with how much someone contributed to the series and played a part in defining it. An art director coordinator is literally just a manager/pencil pusher who sets the budget for the art department and makes sure all the different departments are doing their job. (It's not like how another poster said, that it's a person who gets all the props.) And whatever work Diana Lupo did for ST was so insignificant that Insurrection is not even mentioned in her IMDB bio; she's listed as being known for Iron Man, Inception and Training Day.

    No disrespect to people like that, but adding everyone from a stunt person to a business manager is getting ridiculous. Like I said before, we may as well start adding the caterers, the person who signed all the checks, the cameramen, the sound guy, everyone. :/

    Vulcan and New Romulus have a large plaque, but it's affixed to a Spock statue, unlike the one at Qo'nos.

    Why is everyone dying right now? And not just famous people either... my seventeen year old friend just lost her mother to a sudden heart attack and my science teacher's nineteen year old daughter was killed by a semi truck along with her fiancé while changing a flat tire.

    Very sad time indeed...

    Actually the spock statue is separate from the big ugly block INSIDE ESD and NRC

    Oh right, Feds and Roms have more than one plaque.

    Yes. It's not necessary to commemorate everyone ever associated with Star Trek who has died. I'm sure the actual number of people, if that was done completely, would be much larger than it is currently. It doesn't need to be in-game.

    Only on-screen Actors who played characters should be on the in-game memorial. Not makeup artists, not set designers, not writers (although there were many good ones, some moderately well known), not directors, not producers, not stunt people, etc. Those sorts of 'memorials' are for Fan-zines.

    "stunt people" is a fine line, as some of them were also actors. Vixis, as one example, was played by someone who was usually a stuntwoman.
