Star Trek Planet Killers

Post by Kamakazie Sith »

All the information you could ever want on all the Star Trek planet killers.

Enjoy.......

http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/f ... /1672.html

However, some of the articles are poorly written.

From the Species 8472 Bioship article

" Cool stuff! And we didn't really mind because it was a Borg planet that done got blowed up." :roll:

Technically non-canon, correct?

Well, the information on the PKs is from the episodes as far as I know.

Piss poor article.

Most of the planet killers listed are not planet killers at all. They leave the planet physically intact.

However, if they changed it to 'Star Trek weapons of mass destruction' that would be bettee

Things which actually destroy the planet are generally called Planet destroyers. :roll:

Correct. The article is canonical only insofar as it accurately and correctly reflects what was shown on screen by the episodes in question, and not one iota beyond that. No information contained in the article which is not in the episodes themselves is canonical.

Correct. However, the article gives a ready source of episodes for ST PKs.

Yes, so in that respect it is a good find.

I quickly got tired of the political overtones, though.

Yeah, those were a bit too much. I would rather have it be strictly scientific but those that work on Star Trek seem to avoid that appoach like the plague.
