STAR TREK, 1963 A carbon file copy of a typewritten original Series Format by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, who was contracted under Desilu Studios in 1964 to produce television pilots on the basis of this detailed description of a ground-breaking science fiction series. The outline introduces Roddenberry's concept of a "Wagon Train to the Stars", built around characters who travel to other worlds and meet the jeopardy and adventure which become our stories. Roddenberry, situating the time at 1995 or even 2995 , names the locale the USS Enterprise, a naval cruiser-size spaceship . The author also describes the characters: THE LEAD ROLE is Captain Robert T. April, mid-thirties, an unusually strong and colorful personality, the commander of the cruiser. OTHER CAST REGULARS are a variety of excitingly different types: "Number One", a glacierlike, efficient female who serves as ship's Executive Officer; Jose "Joe" Tyler, the brilliant but sometimes immature Navigator; Mr. Spock, with a red-hued satanic look and surprisingly gentle manners; Philip "Bones" Boyce, M.D., ship's doctor and worldly cynic; and uncomfortably lovely J.M. Colt, the Captain's Yeoman. These characters were to make it to the pilot episode, The Cage , and eventually to the series, with only slight name and character variations. The outline also features six episode synopses, including The Man Trap , which was produced as episode 6.
