/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.

I want to write a zombie apocalyptic story that starts with the MC at a trek con. they eventually meet up with some people but they don't speak the same language until they find out they all speak fluent Klingon.

the rest of the book would just be them becoming Klingons and building an empire in the midst of the zombie outbreak.

I would open up app far more frequently if Gowron congratulated me every time I completed an exercise.

Though, tbh, while my Klingon is rusty, I need to work on my Tamarian. But as they say "Koltar, when he drowned in the swamp."

But do you want vaguely threatening notifications from Gowron at 3 AM because you skipped a day?

Zinda, his eyes red.

A warrior learns the language from the cries of his fallen enemies.

Owl probably triggers the tales from the great tribble hunt. Songs are sung from that great battle and the genocide of the tribble home world.

Has Star Trek ever had a Klingon character that did not speak what ever the Federation is speaking? Only Klingon?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

Tons. Most of them aren't speaking English in the first place, it's the Universal Translator

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

The only trek species that has to learn a language to interact with The Federation would be the Tamarians, since theirs is the only language that completely defeated the universal translator (they speak in metaphor, instead of directly)

A Klingon would, if the Owl(s) proved themself/selves in battle and brought honor to their family. They'd be a worthy foe, and worthy of Klingon respect.
