/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

There are many Klingon scientists, they just end up being part of a different caste than the warriors who are mostly seen on ships. Kurak was a warp field specialist, Korath was a scientist who invented the chronodeflector used in Voyager's finale, J'Dan (while also a spy) was an exobiologist, Antaak was a physician and researcher of metagenics. To say the Klingons had no scientists is just incorrect.

Typical anti-Klingon racism of humans. Remember how Riker had to meet Klingons to find out they were capable of laughter when Klingons laugh all the time?

Haha right, it seems like every Klingon that isn't worf laughs all the time. Not even subtly, like full on deep belly laughs.
