RENE PICARDS'PADD FEATURING HIS REPORT ON STARSHIPS

Following Captain Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) capture and assimilation into the Borg Collective and his subsequent rescue and return to humanity he was given a little off time. This was featured in a beloved episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called "Family" in which we see the captain's return to La Barre, France, his birthplace, and the family vineyard run by his brother, Robert. In the episode, Picard's nephew Rene explains to his uncle that he has written a report about starships and that it has a great deal to do with the famous captain. The item up for bid in this auction is the actual prop PADD (Personal Access Display Device) meant to serve as Rene's report should Captain Picard actually be seen reading it on screen. Unfortunately, that scene was never included in the episode and this heartwarming prop was not part of the show. It is however, built with great detail as the beige PADD features gold trim around a black 'screen' and 'button' housings. The 'screen' includes text that explains in the fashion of children what starships are and which one is the biggest. Furthermore it details who is in command of that ship as well as what it looks like and who wrote the report. Measures approx. 17 x 10 x 1/4 inches.
