Last Drop of Milk

[RobertScorpio]

So, according to Spock, the Doomsday Machine came from outside of the Milky Way..but, as we know, many other 'threats' to our Star Trek crews/shows have come from beyond the great barrier. If you had to list the top three threats from 'outside' the Milky way what would they be???

Were there more than three?

The Space Amoeba, if it continued to multiply it could have created a multicellular mass that encompassed the galaxy.

The Doomsday Machine, could have wiped out entire planetary populations and planets. Devastating all inhabited systems.

The Kevin Empire, if their invasion had gone ahead, it would have been centuries ahead of TOS but with their level of technology it could have been more bloody and wide reaching than the Dominion War.

The "Catspaw" semi-invasion gets a vote, their technology on a larger scale could have been enough to cripple the Federation and make good on their threat to wipe away all "our worlds".

The Kevin Empire...

A little-known invasion of Irish guys?

Well here's the thing, do we know that the Kelvan invasion isn't going to happen? It would have been centuries before the message got to the empire, and even then there's no guarantee they'd accept it. For that matter, how can we [speaking in a in-universe sense, not a view sense] be sure that that they're not already here or nearly here.

Have any of the TREK novels picked up on that Kelvin threat? Or was that episode the only thing that covered it??? Would make a great TREK series..you know..part one in TOS MOVIE era...part two with TNG...Part three with DS9...Part four Voyager..I miss those round robin crossover books they use to do..

That I can think of, none have touched on the invasion. So the whole of the Milky Way has a nice big sword of Damocles hanging over it's head at the moment.

one of the SCE stories features the Kelvans and Starfleet testing a new faster version of warp drive which is implied to be the type in use in the 24th century and the reason for the rescaled warp table.

The greatest threat to our galaxy had to be Shatner's ego. My theory is that it came from outside our galaxy... the Milky Way just isn't big enough to hold it.
It ties in with the Berman'ite Invasion story line... but that was a conspiracy from within our own planet.

Or an empire of the tantrum-prone teenager
