Getting older means realizing The Motion Picture and The Search for Spock are actually the most interesting original series Star Trek movies.

Not enough Shran and Archer content. Adding a chapter called, “My Funny Valentine.”

If readers are too lazy to Google - it's WW2 told through the lens of one day, October 25, 1944, on a global scale. I know the book is almost thirty years old but it's a new way of telling this story to _me_ - so I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

I wound up not having anything to add to @tranquilitypress.bsky.social's forthcoming Dominion War analogy - but I have to admit, I had never heard of John Ellis's ONE DAY IN A VERY LONG WAR before reading their prompt. My copy of the book recently arrived and I really like it!

read Edge of Midnight everyone!

Though less known than the glamourus B'Rel class ships or raiding frigates like the Dupat and D2 'Stingtongue', these destroyers served for longer than both the latter types, with late build ED-S1's still in service with the KDF as late as the early 2340s.

visible towards the rear are the two types of Klingon "Fleet Destroyer", the C-2/Q-4 and ES-A2/ED-S1 types. Built as Scout or Destroyer types, these competing equivalents to the Saladin/Hermes and Larson were the mainstay of Imperial Fleet formations well into the 2280s.

The D8, unlike the D10, was an uncommon sight on the Federation border: while designed and constructed in large numbers between the 2240s and early 60s, it's poor performance in the Triangle saw it relegated to secondary fronts after the Organian War.

Beyond the typical D7 battlecruisers, we can also see some lesser known cruisers, including (from L-R) two D4-E light cruisers, an L-13 frigate, 2 D8 "medium" cruisers, and the D10 "heavy" or Line cruiser.

Visible are the B1, D9 and B2 capital ships, each representing three different schools of Imperial battleship design philosophy, but united by their combination of overwhelming firepower and inadequate operational range.

"The Deep Space Fleet". Advance Striking Force (Krenik) over Mastocal, Summer 2266. The Advance Striking Force represented the vanguard of the Klingon Naval Fronts: composed of a mix of battleships, cruisers and destroyers,its role was to eliminate minor opposition ahead of the battle line.

It's always fun when I can update the group overhead shot of some of the 1/350 projects. There are a few missing as I don't always remember to shoot from this angle. Included here are the three Repulse-class.

At times I feel that the entire Star Trek franchise may as well just have been made to enable the work of the writers at @tranquilitypress.bsky.social. Fanfic so good it makes the canon look second-rate.

The light from the Battle of Wolf 359 would be observable from Earth-based sublight telescopes 7 years, 10 months, 1 week, 2 days, 17 hours, and 36 minutes after it took place. Monday, November 11, 2374 at 1:44:52 pm Hat tip to @spaghettisauceress.bsky.social for working that out

Big news! As we close in on the final chapters, I’m happy to report we have a front cover for the eventual pdf version. Huge thanks to @steillustrates.bsky.social for his amazing job

Well now! I just found my thingiverse account, which has several Trek ship minis already! Akula, Sydney, ranger, Enterprise, Miranda, Oberth, Akyazi, Constellation, and the Arwen class ring ship are there, in addition to the trek 1 and 5 shuttles! www.thingiverse.com/Norsehound_A...

TrekCaptains. Time to switch things up. We're in the Zabel sector now. No Starbase, but an alien empire, the Zeelans, make things interesting. They arent part of the Federation and might cause problems.

"In his most-watched interview, Archer talked about his icons in the early UFP, incl. Thimur Wross. He quoted a truism when thinking about political power: 'to show up is to matter.' It certainly had to Archer." "Ch. 2: To Show Up is to Matter is now available. nascentnovice.com/the-last-fou...

Amazing thread of Star Trek fan art accounts. 🖖🏻💚

Posting these again - cos theyre spooky and its spooky day - or pumpkin spice day whichever it is you celebrate 🎃 Some lovecraftian inspired Star Trek horror dream sequences for the everso awesome @wolf359project.bsky.social #startrek #horror #halloween

Deep in research for some early 2026 chapters; what I'm reading: - Castles of Steel, Robert K. Massie - The Civil War of 1812, Alan Taylor - Friends Divided, Gordon S. Wood - The Republic for Which it Stands, Richard White (it's a biggie) Some ol' @tranquilitypress.bsky.social standards here

TrekCaptains. Random, but a while ago my head thought up an oversized Enterprise saucer mounted to a normal engineering hull as some kind of command ship. With some kitbashing (ariel saucer to Enterprise hull) I came up with the USS Contender. Stopgap command ship before the excelsior. 3 variants:

Developed as a competitor to the more famous Constitution Class, the Crossfield Class Exploratory Cruiser could be characterized as a "proto-Galaxy" class.

Super excited to share this GORGEOUS piece of artwork I commissioned from the extremely talented @ncc-60205.bsky.social 🖖🏼🔥 The Enterprise-D, leading a task force of starships in the Andoria system. The ships featured are a mix of canon ships/registries and a handful of ones that I made up.

We're going to try to post this again today. Hopefully this won't offend anyone. Relax, it's only a starship model. Sirocco: Toronado-class interceptor in 1/350 scale.

I love that this is taking off. Trek Captains is my love letter to the 1980s fandom of Star Trek I never got to join. The FASA years, Trek 2, 3, and 4 in theaters, the comics were giving us a faux TV series of the period and fans were wearing monster maroons. This game is set in that time.

TrekCaptains. Objective at the desk today is finish up missions for Sector B- an alien sector with the Zeelus Empire to make it available for playtesting. That, and also work on the main rulebook.

Further fooling around. The rough idea is that the third nacelle pylon is much thinner and smoothly integrated into the already existing torpedo tube "bump" on the back. Ent-D mesh by Lewis Niven.

Keeping in mind that today is #PortfolioDay, and since a lot of my projects underway are starmaps in association with members of @tranquilitypress.bsky.social ... Maybe next year, I can also include some of my comics-formatted illustration?

The rough ideas for the latest piece I did for @wolf359project.bsky.social thanks as always to @andy3e.bsky.social

#PortfolioDay I'm RJB / Mallacore (Ryan Begemann). 3d modeler and digital artist. I love sci-fi and especially spaceships. I've been bring many ship designs to life in vivid and color space scenes. For the most part I'm a hobbyists but I do the odd commission. linktr.ee/rjbmallacore
