I had thought the new trilogies were semi official, but like any good trek fan can attest, canon frequently is tossed for the sake of the franchise story. Several times Troopers were unmasked off...
The novel where Sulu and Chekov joined an Orion Pirate ship was "Prime Directive". They met Captain Krulmadden in the Rigel System, seven or eight I think, and Sulu earned a berth by beating up (with...
A couple of years back, to help alleviate a severe crew shortage, several alien systems were introduced to the Crew's ship.
They used cloning and android technology, so they "lent" a Crew...
Yes I saw the ep in question, and it was a cliffhanger but i dont recall it saying "to be continued". It has the Crew's fate in doubt, the ship in ruins, and brings back a villian from earlier in the...
I guess forehead ridges are supposed to be individual as fingerprints. Remember Alexander made a cast of his head like we used to do of our hands in early childhood?
The genetic resequencing to make...
If The Klingon Chancellor's personal cruiser was named Qonos One, wouldn't it be just as appropriate to name it Earth One or Terra One. Maybe not, if it focuses too much on the capital. Federation...
I think people are forgetting some very important points.
1) Despite an attempt to stick to a certain formula of space opera (like it or not, thats what Trek is.) this is the new millenium, and TV...
auto replicating set extras/standins. Where do these people come from?
cyber-hair extensions, guess Katie hated having to do her hair and run to engineering at the same time.
stealth pins. Now...
10) There are plenty more letters in the alphabet.
9)Anytime a Character says NOW and nothing happens.
8) OH SHIT!
7)Whenever Worf loses his temper and growls, smashes, swats or shoots...
There are three different colours. Lee Kelso and Scotty wear shirts with a different tinge, Kirk is gold.
Dr Piper was allegedly going to retire but stuck around until Mccoy showed up, the very...
I either base it loosely on several similar characters or archtypes from movies (hard nose cop, cocky pilot, wise instructor) and throw in a unigue origin or race to get him/her to stand out.

Whenever we see the "other side" of the mirror, the crew sees no problem while the captain is derisive or intensely annoyed.
My players didnt really care, prefering to get by on their wits and...
Must-have lines if Connery is in ST:X
"Picard! what are you prepared to do! First rule of a Starship Captain, come home alive."

I read the novel "Prime Directive" and General Order One and several careers were spun around turned inside out and came out backwards.
Simply put, the Enterprise was to visit a secret Federation...
A hyperdrive has a thingy that opens up the door using either subspace, tachyon matrices or a mix of gravity manipulation and transporters. Something to make either a subspace tunnel or wormhole....
Anyone see the JemHadar ships attack Odo in his runabout. They were travelling at warp, and firing fairly close to parallel to their course.
In the original TNG manual it suggested there was a 25%...
For about a year i ran a campaign in the Coridan sector, and used the Coridans as a Character Race.

Two things make Star Trek unique among Sci Fi.
A Space Opera on Humanity issues, and hope in the rightness of where we are. Trek is at near utopia with the drama coming from the struggle to keep...
Granted SFX were a little fuzzy in the beginning episodes, i believe Photorps were first used in the first or second year of Kirks command, when the phaser effect became the photorp effect, and...
The Nebula class Prometheus was captained by a LtCmdr perhaps becuase it was "loaned" out to the command of the Scientist in charge of the mission. I believe the LTC was effectively commanding the...

To answer Protius' question, yes the academy would be affected as it is adjacent to the Command grounds in San Francisco

"Mission? what mission?"
"Save the galaxy."...
NO matter how many times this questions comes up it boils down to three points.
1. Except in times of war, the concept of marines is counter to the ideals of Trek. In war or tense areas of space,...
