Universe Compendium: Difference between revisions

== Live Action TV ==

 

* ''[[Star Trek]]'' spawned a plethora of these. For each series, a "Compendium" documents the official storyline and major characters, while there are several "Technical Manuals" and other more specific guides which document the technology and standard props found in the series. One of the earliest of these was the ''Star Trek Medical Handbook'', an official guide to medical science in the 23rd century. The all-encompassing ''Star Trek Chronology'' and ''Star Trek Encyclopedia'' contain more or less every known fact about the [[Trek Verse]], the former organized historically; the latter, alphabetically. Of course (cynicism hat on) these were never quite up to date while the shows and movies were running: fans were obliged to pick up new editions periodically. And the partwork version (2 pounds per week for six years...) turned into an impenetrable mess of supplements, addenums, and stick-on corrections.
