TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

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.
Wow.
