/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.

My poor Worf.

Gotta be the GOAT character in all of Trek. The roar pierced my soul.

DS9 has now passed TNG in my heart.

Is this the community for this post?

EDIT: wow guys. I meant E26. 24 episode format got my head mashed. Times Orphan is awful. I meant the finale! (No spoilers!)

Original post title for reference was “ First time DS9... just finished S6E24” — when I meant to reference Tears of the Prophets.

If it's just land, then surely the Cardassians can stand not having it all to themselves right?

It's Cardassian land. The Maqui weren't born on those planets. They had only lived there at most 20 years. I have T-shirts older than 20 years. They moved to those border planets and then fought Cardassians who tried to forcibly remove them. If it were the Sheliak, they would have been bombarded from space because the Sheliak considered humans vermin.

The Maqui were trying to pull another Texas. US Colonists moved into disputed territory, fought the Mexican government after it was clearly Mexican territory and then cried to the US for help when things went bad. But the Federation wasn't like 1830's manifest destiny USA.

It's the same in Ukraine. Russians citizens moved to Ukraine. After a few years they started a resistance to fight against Ukraine so that the Ukrainian cities they moved into could become Russian. Russia then moved in to support them.

The Federation, by not backing the Maqui, were showing they weren't imperialist expansionists like the US was in the 1800's and Russia is today.

You are genuinely the scum of the fucking earth

Wow.
