It is a great pleasure for this site to present the following set of detailed photos of the elaborate and highly memorable 18th century style military uniform worn by actor William Campbell as "General" Trelane (retired) in the 1st Season TOS episode "The Squire of Gothos" (original airdate: Jan. 12, 1967). As we discover at the conclusion of the episode, this powerful alien being - who stands out as one of Captain Kirk's most memorable adversaries - is in reality akin to a small boy that Kirk also describes as "a very naughty one at that".
This screen used TOS costume was part of an impressive multiple costume exhibit which was on display in the Vendors Room at the recent Creation Official 2014 Star Trek Las Vegas Convention that took place from July 30th to August 2nd in Nevada. Congratulations are in order to my friend and long time, major American Star Trek collector Alec Peters, CEO of Propworx, for organizing the exhibit and presenting rare screen used items from his personal memorabilia collection for the benefit of all fans attending the Las Vegas event. It is certainly rare to come across such an exceptional piece of Original Series history on public display - and the presence of this costume was an exciting highlight of the convention for many - including myself. Special thanks to Alec for his kind permission in allowing these photos to be taken of the costume at all angles for publication on this site!
And now, the modern day appearance of William Campbell's "Squire of Gothos" costume, followed by some screen captures of it as seen in the 1967 episode ...
