/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. 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.

Seven of nine, but I am not sure on the accusation.

She falls in love with Chakotay. That isn't very lesbian of her.

What was Sisko's Borg weapon?

USS Defiant

Development on the Defiant began around 2366 in response to the Borg threat to the Federation. After initial and hostile first contact with the Borg, Starfleet did what it hadn't done in decades, place greater emphasis on Starfleet's essential role in the defense of the Federation. Drafting plans for such a defense required a starship capable of fighting against the Borg. The Federation's devastating defeat in the Battle of Wolf 359, resulting in the loss of nearly 40 ships and 11,000 personnel to a single Borg vessel, proved that the Federation's defenses were horribly inadequate, and plans were spearheaded for the production of a more combat capable starship. Officially classified as an escort vessel, the Defiant was nothing less than Starfleet's first design of a warship intended to combat the Borg.

I think he designed a warship?

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don’t think he was involved with Defiant’s development, he just got to captain it.

[–] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He helped design it and worked at the shipyard where it was constructed. It's explicitly said in the Thomas Riker episode.

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago

Ah, so it was. I stand corrected!

[–] essell@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

He mentions his involvement in its development as one of the reasons it was assigned to him at DS9.

When it first arrives he's explaining the problems they had with it being "overpowered" during testing and tell the crew to get sort them out!
