Since the many Star Trek show and movie iterations have enough characters to create the most entertaining sporting matches in the universe, artist Mich Palmer knew it was a canon ready for its on-field debut and designed 13 prints reflective of the various alien races and groups within the galactic lore.

Star Trek Into Darkness will descend into theaters next Spring, but there's still a lot we don't know about the sequel, like Benedict Cumberbatch's role (we know he's the villain, but we don't know who his character is — or how bad he is).

The imagery is also evocative of the sequel's title — if that's not darkness, I don't know what is. This is getting me excited for the movie's May 17 release, and I want to hear your thoughts and theories about this poster, too. Weigh in and see a bigger version after the jump.
