With the resurged interest of the Star Trek series thanks to the enterprise's 50th anniversary and the release of a second life action film, the Star Trek planetary glass mug set is a great way fans of the show can celebrate their fandom in their home. The glasses are designed to look like the various galactic planets featured throughout the show, with a distinctive Vulcan styling.
The glasses opt for a colored glass aesthetic complete with a texturized pattern of the planet the cup is meant to represent. Some of the planets are real locations, such as Earth, while others are specific to the Star Trek universe. For example, the Vulcan glass features a red colorway and illustrations of swirled gas nebulas. The set also comes with a Borg Cube shot glass.
