Tributes from across the “Star Trek” franchise are pouring in for Sir Patrick Stewart following the news of his death at 86.

Fellow USS Enterprise captain William Shatner posted a statement on Stewart to his Facebook page, writing, “What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.”
