'''Star Trek''' is the [[code name]] that was given to a secret [[prototype]] project, running a port of [[System 7|Macintosh System 7]] and its applications on [[Intel]]-compatible [[x86]] [[personal computer]]s.  The project, starting in February 1992,<ref name="Caldera_1997_Full-Story"/> was conceived in collaboration between [[Apple Computer]], who provided the majority of engineers, and [[Novell]], who at the time was one of the leaders of [[Cross-platform software|cross-platform]] file-servers.  The plan was that Novell would market the resulting [[operating system|OS]] as a challenge to [[Microsoft Windows]], but the project was discontinued in 1993 and never released, although components were reused in other projects. The project was named after the ''[[Star Trek]]'' science fiction franchise with the slogan "[[Where no man has gone before|To boldly go where no Mac has gone before]]".<ref name="Mardesich_1997"/>
