Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

They are space Arabs. They negotiate and haggle, dress in fine clothes, and treat women like shit.

They don't just hoard money and screw over the protagonist, which is what the incorrect Jewish caricatures do.

EDIT: I am just pointing out my observations on the stereotypes used. I don't think arabs or jews are the way the sterotypes indicate.

They're space Americans. They are disgusting little goblins entirely focused on displays of wealth over any sort of morality, they treat women like objects, and they Jack off to the 'libertarian police' copypasta without realizing it's satire.

Also they'll ally with anyone to fight anything even slightly communist, and you can't trust them half as far as you can throw them. How coukd they be more american? Garbage food?

Sure thing. That's an equally valid take , especially when they go to ferenginar on lower decks
