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.

lol, everyone has such a hate boner for young mister Crusher. But at the time when it aired, I was a young kid and admired the super smart teen into science and tinkering with tech, oblivious to how poorly his character was written. It is a shame the show runners really treated Mr. Wheaton poorly.

From what I understand, the show treated him a lot better than his parents did.

Honestly, I’d love to see at least a cameo of Captain Crusher maybe even a mini series. I didn’t always enjoy Wesley, but I did like him a lot for the same reasons and as a kid I was just as oblivious about his poorly written character.

I'm in the same category I wasn't a teen when it first started and younger. The teen character who was a genius on a show where pretty much all characters had strong science backgrounds was something awesome. Mean yes his episodes weren't usually the best ones looking back but I really liked him at the time. Now it's not quite the same but his character focus wouldn't be what makes me skip an episode or anything.

I’m going to light a candle for her.
