Star Trek
In the fictional universe of Star Trek, Fleet Admiral is the highest commissioned rank of the Starfleet. As early as Star Trek: The Original Series, "Fleet Admiral" was used as a generic title to describe any Admiral of Starfleet. It was not until Star Trek III: The Search for Spock that an actual Fleet Admiral was seen on camera, being the character of Fleet Admiral Morrow played by actor Robert Hooks. Three other Fleet Admirals would be seen in subsequent motion pictures.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the rank of Fleet Admiral again became generic, often used to describe any Admiral appearing on the show.

Famous quotes containing the word star:
“What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
This fallen star my milk sustains,
This love that makes my heart’s blood stop
Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
