/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.

I have been trying to find a reasonably priced hotjo mug for years now in the deep purple color. I saw a bunch of other colors or ones that looked close to the one I wanted but just couldn't find the exact one I wanted. Well, yesterday my wife gave me the best valentines day gift ever! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Raktajino to make.

Ah, the HotJo Travel Mug. My favorite tea mug. I had it for years before realizing it was similar (not quite the same) as the ones on DS9. That is a new color they offer. I used to have a black one, but I broke it and dropped it and they don't make those anymore. Then, for a while, they only made white ones. Finally, last year, they made a handful of other colors. I asked and received one of that color by my wife at Christmas. Enjoy yours!

Edit 2: My mug in case anyone calls me a dirty, filthy liar!

Lol, “Deep Space Purple”

It is slightly different, but that is because the producers contracted HighWave, the makers of HotJo, for a custom version. Unfortunately, it's the closest we can get at the moment. I keep hoping for a special run, maybe for an anniversary. Last year would have been the 30 though.

Close enough for me, especially since it became my favorite mug long before I realized the Star Trek connection. That's just an added cool factor.
