# 'Star Trek Online' Players Hold Memorial Vigil for Patrick Stewart

Star Trek Online players held a virtual memorial to honor Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and other Star Trek projects. Armadas of Galaxy-class starships assembled in the MMORPG. Some players launched fireworks from orbit, while others gathered on the ground for candlelit vigils. Stewart passed away Oct. 29 after a brief battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia.
