The developer of multi player Star Trek online game, Cryptic Studios, has announced that it is building a permanent memorial to Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr Spock on the 'Star Trek' series.
The Hollywood star passed away on February 27 due to a pulmonary disease. He was 83.
Nimoy's connection to 'Star Trek Online' goes deeper than the sci-fi franchise. The actor did voice work for the game, narrating brief introductions to the massive multiplayer online (MMO) locales, reported the Verge.
Fans of the game will have to wait for regularly scheduled maintenance on March 5 before visiting the virtual memorial.
Active players report that as many as a thousand active users travelled to Spock's home planet of Vulcan after news of Nimoy's death broke on Friday.
