It won't cover everything. Star Trek is more about exploration and diplomacy and technology, so it's sort of a classic "GURPS Space" kinda game. The same is true of Doctor Who. And Star Wars is more GURPS Fantasy + GURPS Martial arts IN SPAAAAACE than GURPS Action.

Slightly off topic question: Is Action a good fit with traditional four colour supers?
