Issue 5 of Star Trek Explorer was the 5th issue.
Synopsis[]
- In Star Trek Explorer #5 we pay tribute to the late Nichelle Nichols. Today it's hard to imagine the impact that the multi-racial cast of Star Trek had on television viewers when it first aired, but it certainly did; Nichols role as Lieutenant Uhura groundbreaking in so many ways, is remarked on by several paying tribute within this issue.
- Within the pages of #5 you’ll also find exclusive interviews with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Ethan Peck (Spock) and Bruce Horak (Hemmer); there are two all-new Star Trek short stories; Larry Nemecek turns his focus on Klingon families and Gorn biology; and in The Q Continuum cast and crew reveal the aliens they'd love to play.
