One of the quietly interesting parts of TNG's time jump - and The Undiscovered Country, which was written nearly a decade after that decision was made - is that in a full rewatch the peace won in STVI is worth something because the endless conflict of TOS is over!

A relaxing evening with Star Trek and Japanese beer. Admiral Nogura would probably approve! #startrek #readingndrinking @badsocialism.bsky.social

There should be a Star Trek movie every two years and they should have indie film budgets and no explosions and almost everyone should hate them.

Diane Duane’s Rihannsu novels and her work on history, culture and conlang are absolutly fundamental to my understanding of the Romulans. A very happy birthday and everyone needs to read her novels!

This month on Worlds in Progress, we’re joined by legendary Star Trek model builder and designer @admiralbuck.bsky.social for a fascinating conversation about starships, storytelling, and the art of making Starfleet feel real.

Happy birthday to writer Diane Duane, who has written Star Trek novels, comics, short fiction, games, and co-wrote the Next Gen episode "Where No One Has Gone Before." (That's just for starters.)

Chapter 7: Victory without Victors "But they [came] anyway, carrying the Raptor banner from liberated Benzar to the senseless slaughter of the Chin'Toka front all the way to Cardassia itself. And whatever else we might think of them, our lives today would not be possible if not for that sacrifice."

. @tranquilitypress.bsky.social are on a pretty great run right now. Got through half of One Day In A Very Long Dominion War this weekend and am enjoying it a lot

USS Endeavour NCC-97003 The 4th Odyssey Class ship launched, the USS Endeavour was the latest in a long line of starships named Endeavour. Succeeding the Nebula Class starship, the new Endeavour would be launched in 2382 as the last Odyssey Class initially ordered as part of the ASC program.

My thought process for how the Galactic Empire works is basically Stalinist developmentalism with totalitarian ambitions being built in the Holy Roman Empire, that coincidentally also happens to be run by a cabal of Satanists, where the Five Year Plans end up resulting in the Thirty Years War.

I am really enjoying the emerging treating fiction as if it's non fiction history. The works of @tranquilitypress.bsky.social and Rise of Fall of Galactic Empire. I suppose I always loved the parts of Dune and Foundation that were excerpts from "real" history books.

Rihan does not have a sepate word for money. The word most commonally used, iæhhs, most clearly translates as wealth or asset and is the root for various adjectives such as wealthy (iæhhsemh). Early post-settlement Romulus had little use for a monetary economy and largely operated on barter/credit.

A 25th Anniversary shout-out to the DEEP SPACE NINE post-finale novel series, which launched this day in 2001 with the release of AVATAR, Books 1 & 2, by S.D. Perry. It was the first time that Paramount allowed the novel line to tell a serialized continuation after the end of a series.

ESCALATION: June 21st, 2267.

The Noble Class Battlecruiser was an early example of a 5.5th generation starship. Designed in the aftermath of the ASC program, the Noble was an attempt to bring the 6th generation technology of the Odyssey Class to a more easily producible platform using 5th generation technology.

Beta Quadrant Blues.

The STIII Excelsior bridge reminds me a lot of the TOS bridge. * The turbo lift calcove - similar shape to TOS * The wall console profile - again similar to the TOS style. * The brightly coloured buttons / lights * Each wall console section directly adjacent onto the next etc. Add some railings....
