    A parasite clinging onto Starfleet for life and sustenance?

    That’s clearly a Lemmy.

    That is clearly a Cerritos.

      Maybe this is the larva of the Cerritos Warp Moth, named after the ship which discovered it.

    Don’t forget that the Enterprise encountered it too!

      Every century or so, it needs to replenish energy that’s apparently readily extracted from warp nacelles. If the 1701 had tagged it like a whale, the Cerritos could see if it was the same Dutchman Graboid.

    Memory Alpha does not have a species name listed, so imma call it the Dutchman Graboid.

      I wonder what it would use the wings for.

    Its light-up abdomen and fleshy structure is where it gets its name: “Fleshlight”.

    It’s got a name? It’s not just some space bug?

      Of course it’s got a name. Its name is Jordan. The question is what its species is named.

        Honestly pretty fucking racist to assume it doesn’t have a name.

          I posit that someone who is space racist is spacist.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
