Captain's Log (Star Trek)

In "Star Trek," a Captain’s Log is a recorded record kept by the ship’s captain, documenting important events, decisions, and observations during a starship’s mission. It serves as an official log for communication within the crew, a historical record, and sometimes as a narrative device in episodes. The log provides context, tracks progress, and captures the captain’s insights, ensuring accountability and continuity throughout the voyage. It’s akin to a detailed journal that helps the crew reflect on their journey and aids in mission coordination.
