/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Most are in better shape than I'd be. At least through the mid-2300s, most Star Fleet admirals were the captains that encountered the least explained and weirdest stuff the alpha quadrant has to offer. And they probably only became captain after seeing their old cap turned into an incubator in a alien zoo or something.
Or the early captains in older ships were exposed to far more radiation, chemicals, substances, parasites, bacteria, viruses, telepathy, hallucinogenic and whatever other unknown energies that were then unknown during their time.
They would have lived with these effects for a lifetime before it was discovered that they might have been exposed or affected by these exotic conditions.
Which may explain why many of them who became admirals were so unbelievably stupid.
