I am currently endeavoring to reconstruct a long-lost datafile of shipyards & contractors that build Starfleet ships. I have about 110 or so thus far, roughly equally split between federal yards & private contractors. My question is: how many would actually be required? I'm a large-fleet...

I'm furloughed from work for minimum 4-6 weeks because of renovations, so I'm lazily re-editing my work, tightening language & expounding on concepts. Anyway, I'm at a point where I'm talking about warp drive advances & I mention verterium cortenide with a number after it. Is this an isotope...

No, seriously. In the midst of revamping my writing with acceptable, semi-logical interstellar distances & volumetrics (which...don't even get me started...), I snagged myself on a semantic sandbar. The terms "known space" & "explored space" seem to be used interchangeably, but I don't feel...

Does anyone have a link to full readable scans of the article Rick Sternbach wrote on the Constellation-class? I'm approaching the need to write about it some & have a sense it's got some important bits contained within.

Here I am looking through the DS9TM for a lark while stuffing frozen cookie plugs into my craw before bed, reading the Danube-class section where it talks about the design of the runabout launch & maintenance bays & something occurs to me: how in Cthulhu's name do they move the damned things? Or...

An article from Sunday's NYT about a group of developmentally disabled men who were kept in effective slavery for 40 years.

O HAI. A few people here know me from other boards & are acquainted with my project, but for the vast majority who've no idea who I am, let me introduce & explain. My name is Shik, & I have a project. It's a complete list of Starfleet ships, from NCC-1 to NCC-100000. When I say "complete", I...

Title: self-explanatory. I used to read a ton: The whole Natalie Dee/TFD/MTTS clan, CAD, Treading Ground, but a whole bunch just...dropped off. And then I was in a position where I was unable to read for about, oh, 2 years so some (like ND/TFD/MTTS) I've just...not even a chance of updating on...

Right, so we all know the arguments about monocultures in Trek, about how there's seemingly no diversity: one religion, one language, etc. Conversely, humanity has thousands of languages, regions, subcultures, & the like. Now, I'm a pretty big proponent of diversity my own self. My thoughts...

I love my library. No, really: if I could hug it, I would. It's the only wonderful thing about this awful town. Because of it, I've been able to really push my reading boundaries. As we all do, I have certain "go-to" authors who I will always read over & over again...but I like new. It's hard to...

O HAI. So, working on huge history of Starfleet like none other done before. Currently sussing out the 2240s to 2260s but thinking in advance about/doing pre-planning for the next segment. That being said, I've been wondering about what I call Starfleet's "special projects". I know the...
