Dilithium Crystals are the key to faster-than-light interstellar travel on all the versions of the Star Trek Enterprise. It wouldn’t be any fun to do space travel when it would take hundreds of years to get to the nearest planet, after all. And who would romance the green women if your dishy captain were 174 years old? You can make these socks match your uniform and remind yourself of the crystals that got you to space with this crystalline cable pattern.
