Cheron

[Turtletrekker]

Okay, the novel No Time Like the Past by Greg Cox is not considered canonical, as much as I enjoyed it, so the events as depicted there should not be taken into consideration. As to the rest, all we have is Bele and Lokai's word about anything considering the people of Cheron, and they were gone for 25,000 years, so their information could be a little out of date and should not be considered as absolute proof. It is not hard to surmise that some natives of the Cheron population decided to leave the world before it's destruction and settle elsewhere. It doesn't contradict anything, it just brings in information that we didn't previously have.

According to no time like the past
they could've gone underground
according to the book
that they didn't go underground
seven and nine and Capt. James T Kirk
they only scanned the top
but not the bottom
but when seven of nine and James T Kirk
in the chapter 16 I have the book
the elevator disk charge them into an underground bunker occupied
primarily by security forces and technology
a small chapter, which appeared to be built into the
original foundations offered comfort and Sanitary to
several of the letter, who sheltered together in hopes of
deliverance the surgeon and the troops escorted Kirk and seven
past the chapel. Which was him. apparently not. They their final destination.

Yes, but the books are separate from the shows. If it helps, think of the books and the shows as happening in similar but alternate timelines. When the people are making the television shows, their stories take priority over the books, and they are free to create their own stories. That said, I'm not sure that there's anything about Virgil that contradicts what's in There's No Time Like the Past.

And the authors of the books themselves know going in that their books will be considered secondary to the television stories and can be overridden at any time. @Greg Cox , the man who wrote that book is also a member at this board on he would tell you the same thing.

His face was black on his right side and white on his left, but his shoulders and arms were the opposite of that. And he speaks French for some odd reason.

Since the species seemed to have space travel, thousands of years, surely others could have made it off planet

Is there a reason why you're posting in iambic pentameter?

To be fair we've never seen a naked Cheron. They could have a checkerboard pattern all the way to their toes.

Other planets have a France?

Remulak evidently does.

that Star Trek or Star Wars
require there is North East West,
south North Pole and South Pole
if you think about it all planets
have it so Amory single planet
has different parts of the world
they live on that are different
people just like Edmonton or USA
we have the desert
we have the water
we have the Chinese Japanese
the Western people
we all look different
from all parts of our planet's
so why can't people from other planets
that live on the same planet
have different features
and don't forget about the Japanese
the Dutch, the Irish the German
people where that live in England
and Cetera. We all look different
with different color of hair
different eyes different noses
so why can't I cheron
look different as well
if you are planning to make up a world
you have to think of this species
that you are trying to bring
to life you got it. Think about
the possibilities on the same planet
there's so many ideas and so many different ways
to create that character almost the same
and maybe some slightly different features
just like is on earth . Gene Roddenberry
had the right idea , but in many ways
you've got some big opportunity
to create different species
on many different planets
and if we think about
how big each planet is
and how many different ways
we can present that particular
way we can do things and how we can present it
keep an open mind when you're creating
I'm new world

 

[The Wormhole]

It is a common sci-fi trope
when creating new planets
to treat them as the equivalent
of different countries here on Earth
rather then depicting them realistically
as planets should.

Am I doing this correctly?

I wonder if this is somehow a result of using text-to-speech. Or auto-correct, possibly? Certainly no-one would mistype “Amory” instead of “every” on purpose, now would they? The short lines with line-breaks after every few words also could be indicating an older person used to writing on a typewriter.

I’ve asked @sherver several times about the reason for their odd way of writing. But for whatever reason they’ve ignored me so far. To me those posts are almost incomprehensible and I have frankly no idea if there’s a way for us to somehow help them. I’ve come across many people with odd writing styles in my time one this board, but never something quite as puzzling as this.

They can but you have to have time to create these things. Star Trek rarely gets past the "planet of hats" trope, to the point that the Vulcans all have the same haircut, despite having an "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination" as part of their philosophy.

Writers will struggle with time constraints what history does quite easily by geography.
