/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.

One preaches hope for a better future.

One preaches a never ending cycle of ambition, corruption, and cruelty.

Who would have ever thought time would prove Star Wars more thematically realistic ๐Ÿ˜‚

Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed "stormtroopers" from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.

With that logic, Star Trek is the same.

It is based upon submarine life. Even going as far as using the boatswain whistle and radar sounds at the controls.

One of my favorite fun facts: "Balance of Terror" was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.

The screenplay for that episode actually was for a submarine movie, and it got readapted.
