/c/TenFoward: 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.

So, we are continuing the 'is it legitimate that an elite Red Squad exists in egalitarian Starfleet' argument? All signs point to no. Still, Nog, you go on with your bad self.
According to MA, Red Squad was relatively new in Homefront. Maybe it was created in sweeping changes after Wolf 359 to counter new threats. Since it was never really mentioned ever again after they all died when Watters went bonkers, Starfleet could've nixed the idea altogether. Especially since half of their actions was taking orders from a badmiral attempting a coup
I will never understand Starfleet's decision making skills when it comes to the academy. Like, basically, I can only assume given the whole red shirt thing, that half the point of Starfleet is to deal with overpopulation.
every depiction I see of it, there's some measure of "WTF", lol.
The one that makes me long for Rascals, Valiant.
