/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.

Given that they all generally seem to get away with it, I wonder if it's actually more of a frequently bent or broken guideline than a strictly enforced law. Do we know if non-protagonist federation starship captains act and get away with similar?

The ~~pirate's code~~ Prime Directive is more what you'd call guidelines, than actual rules.

Yes, Barbossa is my choice of captain in this situation as well.

Would unironically love to see the cast of curse of the black pearl in a ST series.

This feels like a “what happens in the Gamma quadrant, stays in the Gamma quadrant” sort of thing.

Gamma, Delta. Potato, patato.

And that is why Captain Ransom had to ultimately die. He could have snitched on her when they both returned home.

No one immediately comes to mind. Has someone been court martialed and/or stripped of rank? As far as melon scratchers go, that's a honey-doodle.

Edit:

Already an admiral, but it should count.

But he has lots of friends!
