(CBS News) Trekkies may want to consider a trip to London this fall - because a U.K. fan convention is set to unite all five "Star Trek" TV captains on stage for the first time.

William Shatner (Captain Kirk), Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard), Avery Brooks (Commander Sisko), Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway) and Scott Bakula (Captain Archer) will all attend "Destination Star Trek London" in October, organizers said Monday.

All five actors have never appeared together at an official event for the series, Reuters reports.

Organizers are reportedly expecting 10,000-15,000 people from around the world to attend the convention, which runs from Oct. 19-21 at the Excel Exhibition Center. Tickets go on sale beginning April 30.

According to the convention's website, the weekend will also feature parties, a costume parade, photo and autograph sessions and Q&A panels. And it won't just be the captains in attendance - more guests are set to be announced.
