trekker (Star Trek fan) (OED and Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction 1967 [5 Apr.])
1967 _TV Guide_ 22 Feb. A-72 (Internet Archive) [letter to the editor] TREKKER ... _Star Trek_ at least rises above the typical "father is a slob, mother is a scatterbrain, and the children triumph" programs that fill the prime time every night.
