One way I could Empire wanting to do "subtle conquest" instead of just throwing their weight around (Palpatine and co don't seem to care about long term problems in either legends or current canon) is if there's a clear bottleneck that could cut local imperial forces from the rest of the ...

Ah. Did you ever do a plotline for it? Sort of. I had the notion that Picard and Sisko between them would come to realise what was really going on, thanks to an Imperial admiral who turned against the Empire. They'd begin to build a rebellion within the Milky Way, and meanwhile, the actual Rebels w...

I tried to write a fanfic (it's buried in the bowels of the Wayback Machine now) where the Empire chose to subtly conquer the Federation, despite possessing huge technological advantages. The reasoning was that the Empire didn't want to create a potential long-term problem, on top of the Rebellion....

Are you planning on releasing this as a ebook?

Howdy! And it's now out as an ebook, via the publisher: https://www.jumpmasterpress.com/product ... wakening-1. They normally run it at around three dollars, but it's 99C at the mo.

Oh wow, this thread brings back memories of a Trek vs Wars fanfic I wrote... well, coming up on twenty years ago, that I never finished... I agree with the thoughts here. I went for the approach of 'the Empire is considerably stronger, but what if they want to take Federation space without a fight?'...

Formless, I am loving everything you have to say on this. I won't pretend to fully understand it, but your points are eloquently put.

Apologies if this violates the rules, but I wanted to put out there that I have published a book! It's sci-fi, because I'm a geek, so that was inevitable, and it's currently available via two places, depending on where you are in the world. If you're in the US, the best bet is via https://www.jumpma...

I am very excited by this telescope, and I cannot wait to see what images and info it returns. I have high hopes for some beautiful scenes.

My 11 year-old daughter has a fondness for some of the old-school Doctor Who, so I imagine we'll be watching.

I'd regenerate and take my chances. What have I got to lose in the circumstances? I wouldn't deprive my daughter of her father, even if I was different. I might have missed it, but would regeneration become a regular thing or is the one go all I'm getting?

Lots to digest and a good setup for Season Three. Squealed a bit at the end.

Something a bit different this time... myself... as a Borg.

If life can exist in the atmosphere of Venus, I'd be willing to assume it can exist virtually anywhere

Greetings one and all, I'm in a discussion with someone who feels the term 'retard' is perfectly acceptable to describe non-believers of his religion. Personally, I consider the expression to be a horrible term, one aimed at being derogatory (indeed, several dictionaries define it as such) towards p...

Um, if we're assuming Venus here is more or less earth-like (bit warmer I'm guessing, owing to closer proximity to the sun and all that), then I think others have covered off the chief problem - landing would be challenging (massive landers required) and it would be a one-way trip. It would take age...

I'm annoyed that so far, this isn't available to view in the UK.

It looks quite good. Anything to purge the memory of the Bay films.

Thanks! I never imagined this moment would come, it's pretty surreal!

Hi everyone, Forgive me if this is not the right place or means of doing this, but I wanted to mention that as of the 14th of August, I'll become a published author! The book is called The Awakening, a piece of original sci-fi, and it will be available via Amazon for the Kindle platform, and soon af...

I hate what I'm seeing in respect of race relations right now. Some of the stuff on my Facebook feed is horribly ignorant. A lot of 'all lives matter' shit. People are hurting, and yes, some people are carrying out acts of angry violence, which I can't condone (but do understand), but there are so m...

An incredible gent, and he deserved a world title.

In the UK it seems that government advisors can do things that ordinary people aren't allowed to... like travel 260 miles, under the excuse of 'testing eyesight', among other reasons.

Of course its vicious. He knows his audience, and he knows what they want: bitter fan bros looking for validation of their bitterness, entitlement and sense of ownership of the franchise. I echo ray here- why does anyone listen to this guy? He's just a pretentious guy on the internet who became fam...

I gather it was complications from cancer, which I would not wish upon my worst enemy.
