Re: [B7L] B7 v Star Trek

I've always enjoyed the idea that Terry Nation devised B7 as being in the same universe as Star Trek and that the Federation in both was the same, but the Star Trek version was as written by the Federation whereas the B7 version was as seen by the ordinary beings. They are both enormous Earth based federations that claim to unite large numbers of planets with diverse beings and cultures. The difference is in how they united them. A clue is the B7 Federation symbol, which is uncannily like the Star Trek one turned on its side.

And both bear a remarkable resemblance to the NASA logo, if somewhat thicker.
