-'''''BiTrektual''''' is the ninth studio album by [[Cuban Americans|Cuban American]] [[dark cabaret]] singer [[Voltaire (musician)|Voltaire]], released on September 2, 2012. It is a [[concept album]] containing songs parodying the ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchises – Voltaire is a fan of both. It also contains a ''[[Doctor Who]]''-related song, "It's Bigger on the Inside". The album's title is intended to be a pun on the word "[[Bisexuality|bisexual]]".

-"The Trouble with Tribbles" excepted, all the ''Star Trek''-related songs were previously featured on Voltaire's currently out-of-print 2001 [[extended play|EP]] ''[[Banned on Vulcan]]''; they were all re-recorded for this release. A re-recorded, extended version of "Cantina", a song previously featured on his 2007 album ''[[Ooky Spooky]]'', is also present. "Poopin' on the Enterprise", "Yoda" and "Damn You, George Lucas!" are not songs, but rather spoken-word monologues by Voltaire originally included on his 2006 live album ''[[Live! (Voltaire album)|Live!]]''.
-[[Robert Picardo]], [[Garrett Wang]] and [[Tim Russ]], all actors of ''Star Trek'' fame, and [[Jason C. Miller]] as well, provide additional vocals for some of the tracks.
-Voltaire also made a contest on which fans would design the ''BiTrektual'' logo; the winner would be featured on the album's cover.<ref>[http://www.voltaire.net/bitrektual_logo_contest/ ''BiTrektual'' logo contest]</ref>
-The cover features Voltaire dressed like [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] kissing [[Hikaru Sulu]].
