Most seasoned British meal.

I am reminded of Babylon 5.

As an act of simple survival, the Narn Regime agreed to an unconditional surrender to the Centauri on December 10th, who then re-occupied the Narn homeworld with military forces and enslaved the Narn people once again. Ambassador Mollari returns to Babylon 5 to announce the terms of the surrender:

The ruling body of the Narn Regime, the Kha'Ri was to be disbanded and its members subject to arrest and prosecution for war crimes against the Centauri. An Earth Alliance request to send observers to these proceedings is denied.

To "prevent further acts of terror," the Centauri impose an edict that the penalty for the murder of any Centauri by any Narn will result in the execution of 500 Narns, including the perpetrator's entire family.

Narn and all its colonies are to become protectorates of the Centauri Republic, and as such the Republic will create a ruling government over the Narn worlds.

I know Sci-Fi is a look at modern times with a different coat of paint, but god damn.

Linux Mint has a Debian edition available, I'm curious about that one.

I'm sure on some planet, your fighting style is most impressive. But your problem is; this is Qo'noS.

It's becoming the "Enterprise of the California class" and becoming slightly more important each season.

Ah, I'm sure that would have been more clear if I watched the damn thing. Cheers!

I never got into Discovery, but that's neat that they remembered that species exists. Someday I'll give it another go. I like when Star Trek does go "...Wait that's a thing we did, go back to that." Partially why I enjoy Lower Decks.

I also saw some of the episode where the Universal Translator broke, and I wish that was a full episode, on how to deal with it. I'm kinda shocked the Federation never has that problem often enough where they need to have "Star Trek Esperanto" as needed for all cadets to graduate.

If I have to edit in a terminal: micro

If I need to edit something larger, and want a GUI: Kate

Anything else I flirt with and then drop promptly once I can't find the time to really learn it.

We also gotta remember, Star Trek is almost always focuses on the big ships. Enterprise, Voyager, Cerritos, they are all important, but I highly doubt the federation needs to deal with a major galactic event every other Tuesday. I doubt the USS Luna had as much adventure as the TItan. Most are standard surveying ships, like a Steamrunner with a crew of 24.

If they did, the Federation does a shockingly good job.

I've always had the idea that ships that were focused on on species had certain accommodations that other species would find too annoying or dangerous to live on with service. Vulcan ships are probably warmer than humans would like, Andorrans would probably die.

I always forget the name of their species, but the people who require a breather to pump in fresh non-Oxygen rich, I assume that if they had any ships, their life support would be exclusively their air, with those neck devices to help pump when visiting other plants and ships.

It would make more sense why Vulcan, an original member of the Federation, still has seemingly dozens if not hundreds of ships with their own design. I assume Andorians and Tellarite do too, but Star Trek forgets about them often.
