* Book one in the ''Star Trek: New Earth'' series is called "Wagon Train to the Stars". The book is nothing less than LITERALLY that. A group of civilian settlers embark on a nine month journey at warp two to the Occult system to colonize the planet Belle Terre as a new colony. At the last second, Starfleet decides to get involved, giving the settlers a four ship UFP escort led by (of course) the starship Enterprise under the command of the original space cowboy, Jim Kirk. In fact, the only way that the Council, and Spock (who was in command of the Enterprise as this takes place between TMP and TWOK) would even leave Federation space was if Kirk was in command of the Enterprise. The colonists are on Conestoga-class ships (partially designed by Scotty), most of which have Western-style names (i.e. the pathfinder ship is called the Rattlesnake, the hotel/casin vessel is Uncle Jake's Pocket), and when they fell under attack just after reaching the Occult system, they 'sphered the ships' with Kirk saying (and this is a DIRECT quote from the book)"It's an old defensive tactic. Circling the wagons, only in three dimensions instead of two."

** So huge, in fact, that the novels created a {{Retcon}} stating that the primary reason the Empire constructed the Death Star and its other superweapons was to use them against the Yuuzhan Vong. The fact that they could be used to enforce their rule through fear and to fight the Rebellion was merely a bonus.
* In Melanie Rawn's unfinished ''Exiles'' trilogy, colonists from Earth find a new home in another solar system. Rawn named their spaceship after the actual wagon one of her ancestors rode out West.
* ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999''. Bonus point for having the main characters travel in an [[CoolTrain ACTUAL space train]].

The term comes verbatim from Gene Roddenberry's original pitch for ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' to Creator/{{NBC}} in the middle of the 1960s, and references the early Western show ''WagonTrain'', which was [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin about a wagon train making its way west]]. The original is now less well known than the "...to the stars" phrase, making it an example of the WeirdAlEffect.
Naturally, this is a subtrope of [[RecycledInSpace Recycled IN SPACE!]] Note that these shows need not necessarily take place in outer space. ''Series/VoyageToTheBottomOfTheSea'', for example, was essentially a WagonTrainToTheStars show, underwater. (so, recycled in the ocean?)

Okay, so this is my pitch: All of the characters are on a ship that travels through space, a "space" ship, if you like. Exotic locations like AdventureTowns or the PlanetOfHats are just a "[[FasterThanLightTravel hyperjump]]" away. It's kind of like a WagonTrainToTheStars.
