Thousands of visitors who have provided information or encouraged me and who are just too countless to list by name.

All the millions of visitors who just keep my counter running.

The people at the Flare Forums, the Subspace Comms Network, the Subspace Relay, the 3D Gladiators Premier Forums, the SciFi Meshes (formerly SciFi Art) forum, the TNO Forums, startrek.expertforum.ricksternbach and rec.arts.startrek.tech for many useful discussions.

Several more webmasters who have allowed me to use their pics and information.

Other webmasters who have a link to my site or have granted me an award.

Other webmasters who have no link to my site, but keep the idea of Star Trek alive.

My former employer, the University of Siegen, for providing me with free and incredibly fast internet access as soon as 1996 and for webspace, which was hopefully not regarded as misuse.

GMX for a free POP3 e-mail account.

The authors of the following scripts running on my server: Megabook, Castle Links, SimplePoll, Fluid Dynamics Search. I'm using Apache 1.3.23, PHP 4.1.2, CGI 1.1.

The manufacturers of the software I am or was using to create and maintain this website, although I'm far from happy with many of them, namely Microsoft Windows NT/95/98/2000/XP, Microsoft Frontpage 2/98/2000, Microsoft Word 2/6/95/97/2000, Microsoft Excel 95/2000, iGrafx Designer 4/6/8, iGrafx Image 6/8/10, Corel Draw 5/6/7/9/10, Corel Photopaint 5/6/7/9/10, Adobe Illustrator 8, Adobe Photoshop 5, Adobe Acrobat Exchange 3, Adobe Acrobat Reader 3/4/5/6/7, Netscape Navigator 3/4/6/7, Mozilla 1.x/Thunderbird, Microsoft Internet Explorer 2/5/6, HP Desk Scan II, WinOnCD, Easy CD Creator, WS_FTP95LE, Rname-it, WinHTTrack, Srhtml 98, EasyPHP, PHP Designer.

The manufacturers of my hardware. In particular Hewlett-Packard for fabricating ultra-fast professional scanners. With the usual home scanner I have now I spend many hours just waiting.

Several Star Trek publications that have provided lots of useful information and images to scan, most notably the Star Trek Encyclopedias, the STTNG Technical Manual, the Star Trek Fact Files, Star Trek: The Magazine, Star Trek Mechanics, The Art of Star Trek, STTNG: The Continuing Mission and the DS9 Technical Manual. For more on my sources, please refer to the book reviews.

Full list of sources

The people who make Star Trek possible, all the production crew on stage and behind the scenes. In particular I am grateful to Rick Sternbach who frequently answers questions of fans, to Michael Okuda for his generous help with the Wolf 359 ships, to Doug Drexler who has provided us with valuable information from the Art Department, to Larry Nemecek for pictures and behind-the-scenes facts and to Mike Sussman for some episode information.

Unfortunately I can't express my gratitude personally to the most important contributor, the man who created the Star Trek Universe and took good care of it for 25 years: Gene Roddenberry.
