• In a surprising revelation, the aforementioned John Ordover clarified Paramount’s policy of what is real and not real Star Trek. The revelation was that other books, such as the Technical Manual, aren’t considered part of Star Trek either, merely speculation (this can really be applied to any Star Trek source book). Where it is shown on screen it is accepted as being correct, but otherwise it’s just at best an educated guess. He confirmed this in two seperate conversations.
