Lieutenant Shaxs makes his political leanings well known in the Star Trek: Lower Decks TV series, but wowza does he go hard-core antifa in the comics!


From Star Trek: Day of Blood - Shaxs' Best Day by Ryan North and Derek Charm, originally published in 2023. Panels slightly reformatted and rearranged by me in GIMP to be more self-contained and better accommodate mobile viewing.

(FYI: this comic, and the other Lower Deck comics too, is available on Hoopla; check and see if your local library is subscribed, and if so you can read the comic online for free with just your library card!)

The basis is that a brave weakling wants power out of the ordinary to fight out of the ordinary villains. That the origin of the power matters less than what's being done with it. And that even an out of the ordinary man is just one man among many.

No one can lead where people won't follow.

/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.
