7 wonders of the StarTrek Galexy

Startrek Magazine Winter 2012 issue 42

1) Bajorean Wormhole- This wormhole is called the Celestial Temple by the Bajorans.

2) The Dyson Sphere- This sphere is a whopping 200 million kilometers. It is built around a sun, and is one of the finest engineering feats known to exist.

3) The Nexus- This spatial phenomena causes dreams to become reality. But you better be careful what you wish for because it all comes with a price.

4) The Guardian of Forever- This ancient, glowing ring shaped rock is actually a portal used to travel through time as well as dimensions. All you have to be careful of is changing the course of history.

5) StarFleet headquarters- This is the headquarters where all the action begins. Located in San Francisco of Earth, you could tour it all if you happen to be in the area.

6) Great Domes of Qonos- This is one of the landmarks of the Klingon homeworld. When Worf was there for the first time he felt as if he was home. If you spend to long gazing at them, however, you run thevrisk of feeling as Worf did.

7)Unimatrix Zero- Take a break from reality, but be warned that you might be turned Borg while in here.
