/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.

At some point Picard visited Qo'noS, the homeworld ("Sins of the Father"), but I seem to recall it giving surprisingly little information about it, except seeing like an old woman in a cloak so a non-warrior peasant.
Even here on earth there are similar effects - e.g. most Indians I have ever met speak somewhat more propa bri'ish English than I do here (am American), but this is like the 1% top elite that travel here, whereas if I were to travel there, the number of people who speak English passably may drop dramatically.
Similarly, most of what we know of Klingon society, directly from the shows anyway, is heavily biased towards the nobility - e.g. "House of".
I really want a show about the lives of normal people on all the different planets in the trekverse now. Like a lower decks but for more than just Starfleet.
I doubt that it would ever be done... by Hollywood, but fanfics could pick up the slack!:-)
