This early network promo contains no footage, no Alexander Courage theme, and not even a glimpse of the pilot. Instead, NBC relied entirely on dramatic pans and zooms across a promotional painting commissioned from legendary illustrator James Bama.

At this point, Bama's artwork was essentially the public face of 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙠. It also became the cover art for the first James Blish novelization, making it one of the most recognizable images associated with the series.

Note the final line: "...the first adult space adventure..."

NBC was drawing a clear distinction between 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙠 and that other space series, 𝙇𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚. Gene Roddenberry and the network wanted viewers to understand that this wasn't a kids' fantasy with comic-relief robots; it was intended as serious, adult science fiction.

Did you know an Elvis Presley impersonator once recreated the Starship Enterprise in an abandoned used car lot and then used it to produce highly accurate bootleg episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series? Welcome to the weird and bizarre world of James Cawley, the man who has spent the better part of thirty years making elaborate fan films all so he could live out his dream of becoming James T. Kirk. But wait, the story only gets more surreal from there. A petty rivalry which spawned another long-running fan series, a lawsuit with Paramount, and one of the most impressive "ah, crap we gotta find some way to go legit" reinventions in modern fandom all play out against the backdrop of one man's quixotic vision of Gene Roddenberry's future.
