/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Does this make the Jem'Hadar the local crack heads that like to ransack the place?

Does this make Rom's minefield just a bunch of speed bumps?

How dare you. It’s not just a shopping mall. It’s a shopping mall and casino.

It's one hell of a intragalactic truck-stop.

Bar and casino with a part time tailor spy

Rom, Garak, Nog, Garak again?

Yes, you definitely don't want to confuse it with all those dry casinos out there.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Don't forget a bar, there's literally a whole episode about how much trouble everyone on the station is willing to go to in order to continue having a place to drink.

You just know there was a red light holo corridor on DS9 that was never shown on the show.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

There’s plenty of references to the X rated shit in Quark’s holosuites, he blames it on the Klingons but there’s a program for everything behind that bar.

Excuse me… it’s the gateway to the Celestial Temple!

It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers.

I was gonna go with drug den, but yeah.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Drug den? Since when have we known anyone to traffic illicit drugs?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Quark traffics everything,

But also, how do you explain why pretty much every time we see some one going in the bajoran temple…they hallucinate?

Oh you thought it was the glowy hourglass thing? Naw.. that’s just to anchor the trip.

That was for making explosive.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

We're not sure how we mean it but they're gonna get you high.

It's also an ore processing facility.
