Could someone recommend a book with facts on the Star Trek Universe? Maybe an encyclopedia?

Fire,

I use The Star Trek Encyclopedia (by Okuda and Okuda). It's a wonderful reference work, with a tremendous amount of information, and includes many, many color and b&w pics. :)

The various Companions and Compendiums for each series are good too.

You're welcome. I own the Encyclopedia, as well as the original series Compendium and the Companions to TNG, DS9, and VOY. I am anxiously awaiting the next edition of the Okuda work. :yes:

The Star Trek Fact Files do me. As does the Chronology.

Featuring a section on the top ten physics bloopers and blunders in Star Trek as selected by Nobel-Prize winning physicists and other devout Trekkers!

"Today's science fiction is often tomorrow's science fact. The physics that underlines Star Trek is surely worth investigating. To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit."
