We’ll assume we have your attention.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The “Star Trek” legacy is alive and well, as this annual convention expects more than 15,000 Klingons, Vulcans and other life forms to attend the festivities at Rio Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The four-day event will feature appearances by four “Star Trek” captains: William Shatner (yes, that one), Scott Bakula (“Star Trek: Enterprise”), Avery Brooks (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”) and Kate Mulgrew (“Star Trek: Voyager”).<\/p>\n

A slew of other celebrities will be on hand, including Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols.<\/p>\n

The “Star Trek” convention will also have panel discussions, trivia contests, collectible auctions as well as an exhibit hall where fans can purchase “Star Trek” and sci-fi goodies.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 2, more than 2,000 attendees are expected to attend in costume. Trust us, these folks are really, really serious about their “Star Trek” costumes.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/a>
This blog was there when the world record was broken for “Most People Dressed Up in ‘Star Trek’ Costumes,” and we don’t care who knows it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hanging out with thousands of people this enthusiastic about anything is an absolute blast.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/a>
If you didn’t immediately think of “Let This Be Your Last Battlefield,” you should be ashamed of yourself.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
