Star Track? That must be a reference to Freddie Freiberger’s Star Track, staring Engineer Scotty, Brakeman Spock, Fireman Chekov, Mail Clerk Uhura, and Conductor Kirk!

Uh, oh! Call out the Cavalry; there’s a band of pesky Klingomanches on the warpath, rolling rocks onto the tracks!

I’d say it’s not a case of how big, but how many.

Beam me up via tractor beam?  Hmmmm.  

 

Must've been some signal distortion during the Trek over the pond.

It’s not a ‘tractor’ force. It’s a repulsive force. The term they used for (2D) circular manipulation of atmospheric heat/pressure has been disseminated enough to ensure them a nice grant though...
