I already have their phaser and communicator, so what am I going to do ? NOT buy this? Silly, I am on the registration list. I found it randomly surfing one night. Their products are beautifully made and solid, they feel just like you'd imagine a 'real' one would.

Star Trek legend Peter-Henry Schroeder dies surrounded by family as tributes pour in for popular actor​

Star Trek legend Peter-Henry Schroeder has died aged 90. The American actor was best known from Star Trek: Enterprise, the 2000s TV iteration of the long-running sci-fi series which ran for four seasons. Peter is reported to have 'passed away peacefully' in June while surrounded by members of his family at the Lake City Veterans Affairs Medical Centre in Florida. His cause of death is unknown at this point.

Deadline reports that during his final days, Peter-Henry was repeatedly asking when he was going to be allowed out of hospital and back to work. He asked doctors and his family: 'When are you going to get me out of here? I've got to get back to LA [to work],' He is survived by his daughter Valerie Lynn and his son Peter Henry II, his daughter-in-law Felicia Cristiani Bass, and his grandsons Peter Henry III and Jarrid Michael.

Tributes have been pouring in, with the Star Trek fan page Redshirts Always Die writing: 'Our thoughts are with Schroe der's family and loved ones.'

His funeral will take place in LA with Military Honours, where he will be laid to rest at the VA National Cemetery.

The family have asked that instead of flowers, condolences be shared through the Human Animal Life Foundation. His memorial page reported that Schroeder appreciated his life and stated: 'I had a long and rich life, and I thank God for it.' Before acting, he spent time in the US Army, and was in active duty during the prolonged Korean War, which ended in 1953. After his return from service, Peter-Henry spent the next 70 years of his life as an actor, artist, filmmaker, producer, and director, in film, television, theater productions and in music.

Star Trek Unveils Its Massive 60th Anniversary Plans​

59 years ago today, Star Trek made its first voyage into living rooms across America when the first episode, "The Man Trap," aired on NBC. The franchise now celebrates Star Trek Day every September 8, and has already begun unveiling its plans for its 60th anniversary in 2026. That includes an all-new animated series, the launch of its latest live-action TV show, and a Starfleet of other exciting attractions for Trek fans old and new.

The yearlong celebration will kick off on January 1, during the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Star Trek will have a float in the parade, which is one of the most famous, and most watched, parades in the country. The float will spotlight the franchise's past and its future. For floating of a different kind, the Star Trek Cruise will set sail once more in 2026: William Shatner, Walter Koenig, and more than 20 other Star Trek stars will be onboard. If you'd prefer surfing the web to sailing the seas, Star Trek comics are coming to the popular Webtoon platform. Plus, in the real world, Star Trek is partnering with DoSomething, the national hub for youth-centered leadership and service, for their “Boldly Go Green" initiative, encouraging environmental responsibility.

The latest live-action Star Trek series in Paramount+'s galaxy of shows, Starfleet Academy, will premiere in 2026. The first-ever series to take place in the famous educational establishment will star Holly Hunter as school chancellor Nahla Ake, and will feature Paul Giamatti as the show's recurring mystery villain, Nus Braka. It's likely that Strange New Worlds, whose third season finishes up this week, will also premiere its fourth season in 2026: it will be the penultimate season of that Original Series prequel, which will end with a truncated fifth season. You don't need Paramount+ to watch the newest Star Trek series, however: the preschool-aimed animated series Star Trek: Scouts debuts today, with its first two episodes available on YouTube. Also premiering today is the scripted Star Trek: Khan podcast, outlining the secret history of Star Trek's greatest villain.

All of Star Trek's 60th anniversary celebrations will be coordinated on StarTrek.com/60, which will feature a calendar of activities. If you can't wait, the site currently has 25% off all merchandise sitewide from Sept. 8–12: use the discount code STARTREKDAY25.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will premiere next year on Paramount+. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
