"Star Fleet Capt. Jean-Luc Picard commanded it. Now some Trekkie owns it.

"A model of the Starship Enterprise used in the pilot and title sequences of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' sold for $576,000 Saturday at an auction of costumes, sets and props from 40 years of the 'Star Trek' sci-fi franchise."
