    Mirror Univere ruled by Interpol?

    I was doing some websurfing and saw the lgo used by INTERPOL.


    It look's sort of familar, in a Terran Empire sort of way.

    A lot of people keep saying that our Universe isno't going to be like the Star Trek Universe...maybe we're the bad guys?


    Or..maybe this was deliberate? Maybe when the were woring on "Mirror Mirror" the production staff decided to go with a European based agency to center thier world government rather than UESPA /US/San Francisco. Considering the importance of security in the Mirror Universe having it originate from a international police agency makse sense.

    I really wish I had noticed this before the Decipher guys wrote up the Mirror Universe sourcebook-this is just too cool not to work into the history of the mirror timeline.

    Could someone please post a Terran Empire logo, just so I can do a side-by-side comparo?

    I'm quite taken with the idea that Starfleet evolving out of a police organization is what went wrong with the mirror universe. (Not that I think police are inherantly evil. Its just that, like the military, it is rarely a good idea to let the police run your government.)
    The "normal" universe Starfleet evolved from the United Earth Space Probe Agency, which sounds like explorers and scientists.

    I hope this helps. Yet the globe is centered around the western Hemisphere . . . maybe the eastern hemisphere got nuked due to eugenic combat.

    Given that the image you found is a fan re-creation of the image used in the episode (and probably cleaned up & adjusted some), the parallels are uncanny.

    Makes me feel like growing a beard. It does explain the recent "bare midriff" phenom in ladies fashion.
