Spock's alien origins reinvented a community in Alberta, while his salute to "live long and prosper" became one of the most iconic gestures of the 20th century.

Portrayed by actor Leonard Nimoy, the half-Vulcan, half-human Spock is renowned for his steadfast adherence to logic over "illogical" emotional responses. Despite this, few could deny the strong bonds of friendship and mutual respect that exist between the ship's captain and his first officer, whose insight and analytical mind are often invaluable. Spock is also known for his ability to subdue a would-be attacker with a simple Vulcan nerve pinch; but when faced with a physical threat to the ship or his crewmates, Spock won't shy away from drawing his phaser, either, if necessary.

The standard-issue weapon for Starfleet personnel, the phaser comes in a range of sizes: there's a type 1, which is easy to conceal; the hand-held type 2, with a longer pistol grip; and the phaser rifle, or type 3. The order to "set phasers to stun" demonstrates that a phaser's different settings made it a complex weapon; it also proved to be a powerful tool in an emergency, when it could be used to cut through walls, blast a tunnel or simply heat up stones to generate heat.
