In the MMO Star Trek Online, statues and plaques commemorate the late actor Leonard Nimoy and other faded personalities from the Star Trek universe starting today.
When the Star Trek Online community learned of the passing of Leonard “Mr. Spock” Nimoy, thousands of them flocked to a spot on the virtual planet Vulcan and remembered the man and the character that many of them have followed since childhood and who may have guided some of them.
At Cryptic Games, the developers of STO, it was then decided to create a virtual monument for Mr. Spock and Leonard Nimoy. In fact, there are now several that have been unveiled today. On Vulcan, a statue now stands at the spot chosen spontaneously by the mourners. It bears the inscription “Live Long and Prosper.”
On New Romulus, a statue has also been erected. Inscribed here: “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.” The reunification of Vulcans and Romulans was one of Spock’s life goals in the Star Trek universe.
In the coming weeks, black flags will also fly in the Earth drydock, in those of New Romulus and Qo‘noS.
In the memorial sites, plaques will be placed with the names of fallen legends of the Star Trek family like DeForest Kelley (Bones), James Doohan (Scotty), and those of the couple Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barret (Lwaxana Troi). Players can click on the plaque to read the names, birth and death dates, as well as a personal quote.
