    Secure Redshirts

    Okay, so we all know the jokes and memes about red shirts in TOS.
    But, how do we get past all that to make Security a valid and interesting PC choice in our TOS Starfleet campaigns?
    I, for one,...

    Inspired by the inclusion in the FASA Orions supplement of a single world in the Rigel system that Starfleet can have a ship orbiting around. I have started wondering if a sort of ST- customs would...

    Holy $hit !!

    You really do have a burr up your a$$ about this!

    Before TNG there were no real "canon Klingons" and JMF's and FASA's are still beloved by many.

    Yes they are all trained fighters. Just some are specialists who are more coherently trained to board enemy ships, stations and installations.

    Yeah, I understand that works for TNG+ incarnation Klingons, but as I stated in the original post, I am using the John M Ford/FASA version.

    TOS Headcannon

    Inspired by Wavemans recent post, I decided to quantify my Headcanon assumptions for TOS. I guess that since GR ruled that everything prior to TNG is not canon, makes my life easier, though!
