  Most people dressed as Star Trek characters - Namco Bandai Partners sets world record

 Millennium Bridge, London, UK  -- 99 Star Trek fans dressed as various Star Trek characters gathered in an event organized by Namco Bandai Partners, the distributor of newly launched multiplayer online game Star Trek Online , setting the world record for the Most people dressed as Star Trek characters.

   The idea was to get as many Trekkies (or indeed Trekkers) as possible to turn up at London’s Millennium Bridge, dressed authentically as a Star Trek character, on Valentine’s Day.

    Ninety-nine fans appeared at the event, costumed as Klingons, Cardassians, Mirror-Universe characters, Vulcans, Borg and Federation officers from various Star Trek eras , setting the world record for the Most people dressed as Star Trek characters.

   
"We spend so much on costumes, [but] there are very few places where you can actually wear them," explained Kraag Komaq Linkasa, a nattily dressed Klingon. "We're standing outside the Tate Modern in Klingon uniform. When else could you do that, apart from an event like this?"

   “The turnout today was nothing short of fantastic,” said Namco Bandai Head of Public Relations Lee Kirton. “We’re absolutely delighted to have been involved in this world record for the Most people dressed as Star Trek characters , and it’s a testament to the Star Trek fans’ amazing dedication that so many turned out on Valentine’s Day.”

Star Trek fan and professional Jean-Luc Picard impersonator Giles Aston assisted the judges in authenticating the costumes.

    Namco Bandai has extended their thanks to every individual who attended: “In the words of Mr. Spock, 'Live long and prosper.'”

    Guinness World Records (Gamer’s Edition) Editor Gaz Deaves encouraged other Star Trek fans worldwide to try to surpass yesterday’s new record. ““We’re pleased to kick off this category here in London and hope other Star Trek fans around the world will come forward to break this record again,” he said.

 
  The Millennium Bridge is a popular location for world record attempts and similar publicity stunts.
