The nose of the Defiant-class was designed by the same engineers who made the turbolift shafts aboard Discovery.

In the preview of the ships, it claims they models are based on what was seen in the remaster of “The Tholian Web”, but the models shown look more like a Tholian carrier from STO. I’m assuming that what’s in the preview is just the fleet tokens – for anyone who hasn’t played the game, each faction has three larger fleet tokens which indicate a number of their base ships, usually with some unique ability for each fleet – and their base ships will look like what was seen in the show.

Also, one more faction to go. I’m going to bet Orions, but I’d love it if they did a Terran Empire expansion introducing the mirror universe to the game.

B’Elanna had an experience, that at the time she very strongly believed to be real, but she’s also a person of science. I feel like it would be out of character for her to not have some questions, even after her journey to Gre’thor.

In “Tapestry”, when Q tells him, “I told you. You’re dead. This is the afterlife, and I’m God,” what is Picard’s response? “You are not God.”

B’Elanna’s in a similar situation. She’s informed that she’s on the barge of the dead, but is that necessarily divine? Perhaps Gre’thor is an alternate dimension, or something like inside of the Nexus. Fek’lhr could be a powerful being, not wholly dissimilar from Q. In “Homefront”, Worf claims that Klingons killed their gods for being “more trouble than they were worth,” perhaps that was more than just Klingon myth. We know that aliens visited Earth and were perceived to be deities. The Greek pantheon in “Who Mourns for Adonias”, Kukulkan was believed to be the Quetzalcoatl as per “How Sharper than a Serpent’s Tooth”, and even Satan from Christian mythology was the being Lucien depicted in “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”.

Given everything B’Elanna should be aware of regarding the nature of the galaxy, blind faith in an afterlife, even one she’s ostensibly experienced first hand, does seem like a big ask.

This is an excellent question.

I kinda hope it’s like a movie about the literal origin of Star Trek as a television show. At this point, I feel like that would have a better chance of actually getting made then anything set in universe.

I don’t know if the base game is out of print – I just checked a couple different stores, including GF9’s web shop, and it looks like you can still get it – but they did recently announce a Final Frontier collection coming out in 2025, which is going to include every previous expansion, and some new stuff, like the Gorn apparently, as well.

Upvoted for “The State”

Now now, let’s not be normative about the speed of facial hair growth. Some people take longer filling in their mustache and beards than others, and this could easily be something like 17 days if Boimler has particularly slow and/or sparse facial hair.

I would agree with you, if not for the fact that we’ve already seen Boimler’s facial hair potential in Beardler. Unless that alternate universe iteration of Boimler was using some sort artificial hair growth enhancement, it was naturally quite full, which would indicate to me that prime universe Boimler has that same potential.

The mugato was this year’s. I was actually struggling to decide what would be appropriate. Almost went with the salt vampire.

This makes Section 31 sound like Oceans 11.

The scene of Georgiou being recruited on Qo’noS by Leland was a deleted scene from Disco season one, so canonically, Georgiou wasn’t not running that bar/drug den/brothel in the Orion district. Still, it kinda bumps me that they’re revisiting the idea of her being recruited by S31 while operating some sort of drinking establishment.

Maybe they can delve into Philipa’s backstory about always having wanted to run a little hole in the wall, and just fell into being the despotic emperor of the horniest fascist galactic state.

Thanks! The artists are all one person, and they are me. I’ve tried to do an annual Trek jack-o’-lantern for a few years now.

Halloween is about monsters and villains.

October 31 Prompt - Alien Cultures

One of my favourite bits from the Star Trek Adventures TTRPG, is in the Beta Quadrant Sourcebook where it says that Klingons and Andorians both enjoy playing hockey, since becoming aware of the sport. The accompanying art is spectacular. Unlike this doodle that I just banged out after the trick-or-treaters stopped showing up to the door.

October 28 Prompt - Monster of the Week

While I’ve been enjoying playing around with digital art, my true calling is carving festive gourds. Here’s my annual Trek themed jack-o’-lantern.

October 27 Prompt - Shields Up

I miss when when a Trek show would just got nab a bunch of props and be like, "This week the Enterprise is going to a planet where the culture developed their own Roman empire that never actually fell."

Not super happy with how this one turned out, but I’ve reached the point where looking at everything just appears to be a bunch of shapes, so I’m gonna call it done.

October 26 Prompt - Artificial Gravity

For a movie as good as it is, there’s a lot of faffing about in the middle of “Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country” looking for the gravity boots, and escaping from Rura Penthe.

I also wondered about the possibility of the transporter double, though one who choose to grow a beard like Riker’s as opposed to taking his name.

Hopefully though, if there are any Boimler S31 concerns, it will be specific to the William Boimler from the prime universe.

October 25 Prompt - Redshirts

When I saw what the prompt was, I knew I had to pay tribute to the Cerritos’ Redshirts club by drawing Casey and Jennifer. I would have included Castro and Taylor as well, but I knew I wouldn’t have enough time.

Pretty happy with how this one turned out, even though I didn’t notice just wonky Casey’s white band on his uniform is until I’d already uploaded the image.

October 24 Prompt - Department Rivalries

Reed hates the MACOs so much. It was a struggle to figure out what to draw at first, because there aren’t really departmental rivalries in Trek. The Science and Engineering aren’t at trying to outdo one another. Then I remembered ENT.

Ran over time with this one, because there was no way I wasn’t going to watch the new LDecks episodes. If It wasn’t already too late, some background to block out where the figures are in relation to one another would be my goal.

October 23 Prompt - Holodeck

You would think they’d figure out a way to stop accidently creating life, or, failing that, stop using the machine that accidentally creates life.

When I conceptualized this one, there were more eyes, and I was going to animate them opening and closing, but I already went way over time on this one.
