    DRM-free Star Trek ebooks?

    Are current Star Trek ebooks available without DRM? I'd like to download new releases rather than searching them out in increasingly unreliable local (chain) bookstores. (Specifically, I'll be looking for this year's Vanguard books when they're released.)

    US Representative, at least 6 others killed

    Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ 8) has been shot and killed by a gunman while meeting with constituents at a Safeway in Tuscon, Arizona. At least 6 other persons have been killed, and 5 more are reported to have been shot. NPR Edit: A hospital spokesperson has informed CNN that...

    How Many Times Was Archer Wounded?

    This is a somewhat random question, but I found myself wondering. How many times was Archer wounded or tortured during the series? At the moment, I can recall only Broken Bow (wounded) and The Andorian Incident (tortured), but I'm sure there were many more occasions.

    Destiny Borg question

    If the first Borg drones were human, as depicted in Destiny, why are humans designated as Species 5618?

    Starship technology thoughts

    I've recently been looking at the basic technologies of Star Trek (specifically Federation) ships. I posted briefly about sensors in the 725m Enterprise thread, but I'd like to share my (developing) impressions of other technologies, too. Phasers There appear to be at least three types of...

    The President's Office

    Articles of the Federation and several other novels describe the location of the office of the President of the United Federation of Planets as being at the Place de la Concorde (specifically, in the Palais de la Concorde), in Paris. When this was first mentioned in the A Time To . . . series...

    Another Daedalus

    My conception of the Daedalus class, as derived from a side elevation of the NX-01. (Larger version here.) I intended to show early progression between the NX type and the USS Kelvin. This Daedalus design has a relatively small secondary hull, and large engines. The window and airlock...

    Photoshop Thread

    There was an image manipulation thread here some time ago which served as a home for such picture in general (I think there was, anyway). Several searches didn't locate it, so I thought I'd start a new one. Working with GIMP earlier, I had some fun making a quick version of a Romulan commander...

    The Andorian sexes

    We're told that the four Andorian sexes roughly correspond to two male sexes and two female sexes, but that they aren't literally male or female. As I understand the Andorian reproductive process, the thaan and chan each contribute a gamete containing 1/4 of the eventual child's genetic...

    Looking for Source for Memory Beta

    Some four years ago, when the Tezwa dilogy was released, David Mack indicated that the USS Republic seen in A Time To Heal was intended to be a Sovereign class vessel, which the ship page and class page currently reflect on Memory Beta. Unfortunately, the thread appears to have been pruned...

    Jellico Question for David Mack - Destiny Spoilers

    Was Admiral Jellico intended to have been a fleet admiral as C-in-C? The question has come up at Memory Beta, with his apparent one-pip admiral's rank in the recent New Frontier comic throwing a wrench into what would otherwise be a relatively easy question (given that previously seen C-in-Cs...

    The Kelvin's name

    At first glance, the Kelvin would seem to be named for Lord Kelvin. But after watching J. J. Abrams's Ted video, I wonder if it might it be named for his grandfather, Harry Kelvin, who was a profound influence on him.

    A Lt. Cmdr on the Enterprise in TUC?

    Behind Chekhov in this screencap is a Starfleet officer of East Asian descent who appears to be a science division lieutenant commander (other parts of the movie seem to confirm this rank). She appears in several scenes on the bridge (including the interrogation of Valeris), but is always in...

    What Rank is Dr. Fisher (Vanguard)?

    The title asks the question rather succinctly: what rank is Dr. Ezekial Fisher of Vanguard?

    Star Trek: Assignment - Earth comics

    Has anyone heard about this series? Apparently John Byrne will writing and drawing a five issue miniseries detailing the adventures of Gary Seven, Isis, and Roberta Lincoln for IDW comics. I've not much more than looked through IDW's publications so far, but this might be interesting. Comic...
