Nation’s Treasures: Starfleet Academy Ornament
The Academy motto was “Ex Astris, Scientia“, meaning “from the stars, knowledge” in Latin. The ancient Romans usually did not use verbs in inscriptions, so it would be better translated as “knowledge comes from the stars”. According to Michael Okuda, the motto was inspired by a quotation on the Apollo 13 mission patch, “Ex luna, scientia“. The Apollo 13 quote was itself a paraphrase of the motto of the United States Naval Academy, “Ex Scientia Tridens,” which means “from knowledge, seapower.”
The initially shown version “Ex Astra, Scientia” was grammatically wrong, as the preposition “ex” requires the ablative case “Astris“. According to Michael Okuda, six months after “The First Duty” aired he received a letter from a Latin Professor at Brown University pointing this out. This error was corrected for later appearances and also in the remastered Blu-ray edition of TNG.
There have been three versions of the Academy logo. The first version being the original logo seen in “The First Duty”, with the Latin grammar error. The second was seen only briefly behind Harry Kim’s interrogation in the alternate timeline in “Non Sequitur”. This logo had the updated Latin phrase and the rays of light had been inverted when compared to the original, with the outer border changing to a shade of pink rather than a red. The third logo debuted shortly thereafter with an updated Starfleet insignia and the border returning to a shade of red.

2011 Glow In The Dark Defiant Sells on eBay *SOLD*
Limited to a run of 700, the 2011 Defiant isn’t as rare as the 2009 Uhura Gold (450 units) but may be more in demand. The glow in the dark ornament doesn’t show up on second hand resell sites as often as the Uhura Gold, although one did sell in December for $1,899.99. One factor leading to the Defiant’s scarcity, there is a subset of Star Trek ornament collectors that only collect Hallmark’s ships and do not collect the Star Trek figures. And it doesn’t hurt that the Defiant has cool, glow in the dark action!
2009 Uhura Gold Sells on eBay *SOLD*

Correction: 2022 McCoy Storyteller To Be Released in October
Good morning! I saw your weekend posts this morning and I’d like to correct an error that came through on the Instagram sneak peeks.
Our Lt. Scott Storyteller ornament will be available in July 2022 but our Dr. McCoy Storyteller ornament won’t hit stores until October 2022.
Sorry to be the bearer of not-so-fun news. I pledge to you that we will roll out enough Star Trek fun with new Keepsake Ornaments, Hallmark Ornaments and gift items that Bones’ fall arrival won’t feel like much of a wait at all. 🖖
-Kevin Dilmore
And now I’ll correct my correction: Scotty is a Lieutenant Commander! Sheesh—it was early when I sent that in. Haha!
