STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1987-1994) - Michael and Denise Okuda Collection: "Samaritan Snare" Starbase 515 Sign - A Starbase 515 sign from the Season 2 episode "Samaritan Snare" of Gene Roddenberry's television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the episode, Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) took his Starfleet exams on Starbase 515.

This lot comes from the collection of celebrated Star Trek franchise artists and advisors Michael and Denise Okuda. Created for the Starbase's lobby set, this sign consists of a glossy black-and-white Starfleet-branded poster labeled "Starbase 515 Biomedical Services - Scylla Sector" and backed with foamcore. The sign exhibits bending to its corners and some staining from handling and production use. Dimensions: 37.5" x 22.5" (95.25 cm x 57.25 cm)Though their long and celebrated careers in the Star Trek world began in features, Michael and Denise Okuda established themselves as franchise legends while working on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Michael became art supervisor on TNG, while Denise came on as a scenic artist during Deep Space Nine, roles they would continue to perform through Voyager, Enterprise, and the Next Generation films. Married in 1993, the Okudas are known as the driving forces behind the development of many of the now-iconic 24th-century technologies seen throughout the series, including the famous "Okudagrams" they created for the LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) interfaces . Propstore is proud to present a selection of key memorabilia from the personal collection of one of the franchise's most important creative teams to the public for the first time.
