/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

What show is this?
Lower Decks. Excellent adult oriented comedy that's also canon to Trek.
Well, there's a fantasy that will never leave my mind
She's got Lok'tar ogar and Horde symbol tattoos so she's cool in my book.
Taz'dingo! 🤘
Maybe it's an offer? I... would like it to be an offer.
Did WoW exist in the startrek universe
Yes, but without the Star Trek references.
A long time ago... in a galaxy far far away...
VOY 6x21
Right you are.
Tuvok according to AI
Any idea what the binary tat is supposed to say? I get "Poeira" from a binary to ASCII converter, which is apparently "Dust" in Portuguese. But that seems kinda an odd choice to have tattooed on yourself in binary.
Maybe the beginning of poeira estelar, meaning star dust? As in, “we’re all star dust”. She could be a Brazilian or Portuguese Trekker.
That'd make sense.
Lemmy Bureau of Investigation: case closed
(Well done honestly)
The 8th letter is "d," isn't it?
Here is a better pic of the whole block from her deviantart:
I can't remember which Trek novel it was, but there was a claim that Trelane was a very young member of the Q.
No idea, but I've heard the theory thrown around for some time.
Yeah, pretty much every race Kirk and Spock ran into was either Stone Age, late XXth Century, or unimaginably advanced. And they all wore bikinis.
Realistically, the chances that other species you encounter in a vast galaxy could be at your same technological level are low
That's one beef I have with the Trek universe; everyone has warp drive and similar ships.
I want a version where there are plant people who use no metal; or aquatic people who never found fire.
No more five fingered aliens!

Well, I love Trek but it's rather simplistic, the galaxy is essentially an enlarged planet Earth, so it's kinda fitting that the technology level is equalized, everyone trades and spies, so...

That's a budget issue. The story was more important than the alien physiology... With nowaday's CG it's going to be easier to do that.
The same way you had 'The Addams Family' and 'The Munsters'...
I want a series that drops all of Trek's history and starts fresh with a new ship. No five fingered aliens. Truly strange creatures. No Vulcans or Klingons, 100% new.
The Orville!
Oh, wait, no, five fingers there, too.
Oh, you want the Elemental planet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poul_Anderson
Poul Anderson was an old school science fiction writer of the Heinlein/Asimov era.
He specialized in world building, often starting with a sun and then figuring out what the planets would look like. Once he had a good plaent he'd create the inhabitants.
Good lord
Wonder what the binary tattoo says
According to another post here, "poeira" for the first 6. The 7th I can't make out, but the 8th appears to be "d".
I grabbed a better pic of her from her deviantart page with the tattoo more clearly shown:
Looks like it has 19 letters. but I can't make them out.
Poeira±das&e[strelas] - 'stardust' in Portuguese.
I'm guessing on the letters in brackets. The rest I got from the picture.
