Unistar was a Star Trek fan club.
"UNISTAR" stood for "United Nations International ST Association for Revival," making it a member of S.T.A.R..
Membership and dues in 1976 were $3.00 annually. In 1976, it had over 150 members.
The club published a newsletter called The Unistar Newsletter, edited by Geoffrey Mandel. The club also published a handbook.
From a 1978 interview with Geoffrey Mandel:
UNISTAR is the United Nations International Star Trek Association for Revival, a bona fide chapter of the now-defunct S.T.A.R. Central in Dearborn, Michigan. For
those who don't remember, S.T.A.R. used to be the ST fan club, and I still consider their newszine. Star Borne, as one of the all-time best. UNISTAR was started at the United Nations International School here in NYC (hence the name), and at the moment it exists for the sole purpose of publishing a newsletter which makes use of artwork and articles submitted by members.
