It is clear the Federation Of Planets is a military organization. They have rank, military courts and enforce orders through Star Fleet Command. In This Side of Paradise the Enterprise arrives at Omicron Ceti III with orders to remove a population who don't want to go. It is clear the objection...

How do you think would go the process that would result in the change of modern military into what we see in most SF? Especially if there are no big conflicts to wipe the militaries to blank state. We do have typical science - fiction militaries like in Aliens. There are also some more...

Halfway through Harm's Way and just finished Oblivion's Gate. Mack seems to be writing in the Yesterday's Enterprise timeline. Jean-Luc Picard cocked his phaser shot gun and said "Watch our six." Demand for "Sitreps," etc, the old fashioned naval language of the past has seemed to have been...

This thread was suggested by a mod, so as not to clog the "Controversial Opinions" thread. So, is it? I say absolutely, and the regulations and ranks and all that are basically irrelevant. As to why? That you can chalk to organizational discipline. Now, Starfleet certainly does have OTHER...

Re. Unification I feel even if wasn't for Picard and Spock, the plan would not have been completely successful.

Any thoughts or opinions about whether or not Star Fleet would use military working dogs? With all the advanced technology in Star Trek, would there be a place for K9s and dog handlers? What purpose would they serve? I presume they would be used on away missions and boarding actions, but is...

Just a thread to discuss what books you've been reading and read that you'd like to pass on. https://beforewegoblog.com/indie-military-science-fiction-and-space-opera-books-part-1/ I just made a list for my blog about eleven recommended indie space opera and military-scifi books. What books...

...it never even occurred to me. There were weapons and a Captain and a bosun's whistle and Starfleet Intelligence, so it certainly *looked* military (from my limited understanding). BUT there were also scientists and historians and all sorts of other things that didn't look particularly...

...watching Stargate: Universe. One thing I liked about that SG:U and nuBSG which seems to be one of it's influences is the exploration of military themes and military culture. It goes beyond the usual war is hell or simplistic gung-ho themes that we are used to and explores the lives of...

Reminds me of the battle droids from Star Wars:

Are The Borg going to someday become a reality? :wtf: :borg:

Obviously real life generals like Mattis and Eisenhower should be the role models real military officers should aspire to but can a TV show character be a good inspiration or role model to future or currently active military officers? I once knew an person who served as an Army paratrooper who...

...to mention here. As a retired Federal Government Employee, that has worked with the mlitary during my long 30 years of Federal Service, our paygrades were similiar to the active military, except that we do not hold any official authorization to command a group of soldiers/airmen or Marines....

Is there any info for non Klingons serving in the military? I am working on putting together a Klingon centered campaign for a roleplaying game and looking to broaden my knowledge. Thank you

While I haven't re-watched all of TNG recently, from what I recall, there's never a suggestion that there is a civilian government or that the federation is a democracy. As far as I remember, the important decisions seem to be made by Admirals, without any suggestion that they are taking orders...

Speaking personally, this is something that frequently breaks the illusion for me. In a military, or in the sciences, clear communication is of paramount importance. Arguably the single most important directive in either field. A military officer must make themselves clear and communicate...

...when needed. There are "Dress" uniforms in star trek, kirk, picard etc have worn them. So just something going through my mind, wanted to share, and read any comments. I know Gene didnt want a "Military" in space for starfleet, however, its kinda how it turned out, atleast for ship board...

I am curious on how strong the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian Space Fleets were. Was the Federation the strongest and the Cardassians the weakest major power in the mid to late 24th century ?

...tended to more). Quite a few fans are attracted by this side of the franchise, as irrelevant of whatever stance you have on glorifying military operations in Star Trek, appreciating their engineering ideas can be very satisfying, and is a natural healthy pursuit. Should DSC perhaps make a...

...as to what they do as a organization. The ship doesn't seem to explore or do much science experiments. They don't seem to be doing military operations all that much. My best guess is the Union is kind of Starfleet like though I wouldn't be shocked if they had a military branch that is kind...
