None. It's parody, and therefore falls under Fair Use.
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

That's only for proper names; for example, Scrabble, or Gowron. But human and klingon and andorian and vulcan, etc. are names of species or races, too, and wouldn't necessarily be capitalized.
How many infringements can you count here?
While I know stealing someone's IP is theft, I never learned to count.
And besides, that work might be transformative. But get sued to find out!
I have some pretty long Star Trek Photostrips, many of which are just jokes, but the longest could be construed as a more serious attempt at an hour long Star Trek episode (how long it might be if one actually filmed it, I can't be sure, but it's a story in 8 parts, each part having 25 or so panels, IIRC). I'm not sure if CBS/Paramount would complain, but I doubt that one would come under "fair use."
Anyway, I doubt I should put it up here since it is . . . long and . . . off topic, probably.

Oh go ahead. My scroll wheel works just fine.
That's a very informative article. A couple of folks here should read it, but I doubt it would make a difference to them. Their minds are made up.
Probably true.
Never mind facts.
Or the law.
Or well cited research.
We'll just believe our emotions.

Not as white as you profiled me to be (based on my real name), and my sexual orientation is none of your business. But seeing as your avatar and pseudonym depict Professor Zoom (a.k.a Eobard Thawn), a straight white male and a man who's murdered several women, I think your metaphor is a bit selective. Here's that shovel back.
It's true, I know nothing about you in real life. I'm only comparing your postition to those of 100 years ago and this idea of what is natural and not natural---something that you brought up if you recall. Remember I called it a silly line of argument, but you kept insisting somethings are natural and encoding in our genetics and somethings aren't.
It's not a metaphor: it's a comparison.
Edited to others: true enough. Off to enjoy the day.
And I'm sorry: my intention isn't to say you are those old white men, but rather to point out how silly the natural law argument is.

That's your comparison, not mine. Furthermore, it is questionable whether someone like me would have existed 100 years ago, given the fact that may parents are of different ethnicities and religious denominations. (Not that it matters, because this is all basically a tangent.)
I did not continue to insist that it was genetic. That was a one time comment that you continue to harp on. My general argument was that the concept of physical was more naturally intuitive than copyright infringement. Given the complex nature of copyright law and the fact that infringement is very time and context sensitive, I fail to see how you can dispute that.
@Professor Zoom , might I recommend you simply ignore the users? Don't feed the sea lions. 
Well, since I made some two-click adjustments, this topic has gotten more confusing, but less annoying. Good trade-off.
When the scroll wheel isn't enough...
The message board I originally made them for had spoiler tags so the images wouldn't be uncovered or need to be dowloaded unless a viewer wanted to see the "spoilers." When just one part is like 25 images, it can be annoying to some their browsers drag or get hung up and is sometimes unresponsive until all those images are downloaded and displayed, particularly if they aren't interested in the photo strip. They might not even be able to scroll past it until it's fully downloaded.
And it's off topic. Any suggestions or hints how to make a new thread for Star Trek Photostrips on this BBS, or is there already a thread for that sort of thing? I don't really intuitively grasp the tools here. Is there a link one might offer me that explains the procedure here for that sort of thing?
Thanks.
Ah, another single image one.

This board also has spoiler tags.
