This is the explanation presented by Michael Jan Friedman in one of the novels in his My Brother's Keeper trilogy; it stands for "racquetball."
Dr. Nichols and Plexicorp kept their knowledge of transparent aluminum a closely guarded trade secret, but they never figured out how to manufacture it. The company eventually went bankrupt for unrelated mismanagement reasons and all research on the material was lost during the liquidation. Someone else invented it independently many years later.
My headcanon now has Kelvin Scotty with an irrational fear of the number six. (Don't ever show him pictures of Tricia Helfer or Patrick McGoohan.)^Scotty wouldn't make this kind of mistake tho
Wow. I like the way she fights.Madelaine framed Dr. Nichols, took the formula for herself, and made billions.
"How about NOW, Asshole!?!?"

In my headcanon, I say that Kirk's tombstone in WNMHGB reads "James R. Kirk" because Mitchell and Kirk were buddies going way back and there was a private nickname of some sort which Gary called Kirk which started with an R.
Not a mistake, a private in-joke between friends which makes the turn Gary took all the more horrifying for Kirk, who totally got it.
Yeah. That joke ran through all three books, IIRC. It started out as "racquetball" and moved on to a few other things, always starting with an "R." So we'd get exchanges like this:This is the explanation presented by Michael Jan Friedman in one of the novels in his My Brother's Keeper trilogy; it stands for "racquetball."

Spock said:"We went to school together on Vulcan. As a child, many of my peers resented my human side. T'Mar did not."
There are those in the society who abstain from the practice but they are considered suspicious and get harassed by the authorities. More of the general populace is sympathetic to the non-modders though.^ But if you'll notice, Spock (in Unification I and II) was able to pass as Romulan without anyone noticing, even though he doesn't have any forehead ridges.

Wasn't that stated as such in the Voyager publicity materials?I've always thought that Chakotay might have been from the American Indian colony from Preemptive Strike or at least a related colony.
it most certainly does ...Man, that table of Kirk's just doesn't reflect anything, does it?![]()
I remember Majel Barrett telling me how she shouted, cried, and threw a fit at Gene when named Riker Number One. This was about three weeks before TNG premiered (when she told me, not when she threw the fit).Number One in Star Trek: Discovery is the same Number One that served under Pike, just reassigned. Bryan Fuller be damned.
Even if there's an episode that takes place at the same time as The Cage, I'll just chalk it up to another transporter accident, goddammit.
