Star Trek fans can now get Starfleet's most
famous figures to help deliver their mail, thanks to a new collection of
seven stamps issued on Friday by Canada Post, the country's mail
operator.
The stamps, a followup to a set released last year for the science-fiction franchise's 50th anniversary, include the captains from each of the five Star Trek television series already aired. They are depicted alongside a key nemesis from the series.

The sixth stamp is of the Galileo shuttle craft, which first appeared in the original series in 1966. A holographic foil stamp in the shape of a "Borg" cube is the seventh in the collection.
Star Trek is incredibly popular in China, where the movie "Star Trek Beyond" dominated the box office upon its release last year. It took the equivalent of 31.2 million US dollars within three days of its debut.
