/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

A parasite clinging onto Starfleet for life and sustenance?

That’s clearly a Lemmy.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That is clearly a Cerritos.

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 7 points 8 months ago

Maybe this is the larva of the Cerritos Warp Moth, named after the ship which discovered it.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget that the Enterprise encountered it too!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Every century or so, it needs to replenish energy that's apparently readily extracted from warp nacelles. If the 1701 had tagged it like a whale, the Cerritos could see if it was the same Dutchman Graboid.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Memory Alpha does not have a species name listed, so imma call it the Dutchman Graboid.

[–] Moof_Kenubi@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Zinkel's wingless stellar wasp. (The winged variety are really impressive.)

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what it would use the wings for.

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Maybe as Solar sails?

[–] LemmySoloHer@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Its light-up abdomen and fleshy structure is where it gets its name: "Fleshlight".

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Haha... Gary.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's got a name? It's not just some space bug?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Of course it's got a name. Its name is Jordan. The question is what its species is named.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Honestly pretty fucking racist to assume it doesn't have a name.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Starfleet? Racist? Why you green-blooded, inuman...

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I posit that someone who is space racist is spacist.

[–] Doublepluskirk@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

How many people are inside one of that size?!

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like a Rick and Morty alien species.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Dr. Who, actually.

[–] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 8 months ago
[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 8 months ago

Just the tip space bug.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Aeronautical Ommastrephidae Dosidicus gigas

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Aeronautical things fly in an atmosphere.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

Maybe that's why this one is so upset

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago
