/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.

What's really mean is that (as far as I can remember) O'Brien is the only noncom ever shown in Star Trek; he might be the only one in Starfleet! Talk about being singled out!
I’ve had this discussion with friends and I think that’s right. Ranks are super weird in Starfleet.
Yeah even on ST: Lower Decks all the Starfleet characters were officers. If any show was going to showcase noncoms in Starfleet you'd think it'd be ST: LD. Perhaps you could count most of the mawquee crewmembers in ST: Voyage as noncoms. Except that Voy is an exceptional case
And a bunch of the Maquis were given commissions — Belann’a and Chakotay notably.
On occasion.
TBF, that’s a work meeting. Noncoms aren’t getting into the officer’s mess.
He's got his own private replicator stash. And probably some poor sod in the buffer he brings out only to make freshly prepared meals.
To be fair, he was basically lower-decks to the bridge officers of the D
Miles wanted to go, but Bashir and Garak were getting married
Also wouldn't want to insult the person who tailored the very suit he'd be wearing to the occasion. Probably lined with a small tricobalt device should he decide not to show.
Your dead made, you got blown up in a nuclear explosion when your chief science officer successfuly pulled off a coup.
