        But, Is the “police” inside fully automated gay anarchism, the same as in capitalism 🤔 don’t get me wrong, the ST universe is frustratingly and unrealistically hierarchical for a post-scarcity society, but I do have to wonder if the bastardness of the space-police would be on the same level when they’re not protecting capital and the plutocracy.

          You might like this article about 24th century law enforcement and whether Odo is a bastard.

          The summary though is… yes.

          Reminds me of the Culture books I’ve read (still got a good ways to go, I’ve been slacking). That’s a pretty common theme in the series - how far can Contact go to do its job? Who will it throw under the bus to accomplish its goals?

          I need to get back on that series, its really fun to compare and contrast it to Trek.

            Yeah, the Use of Weapons was pretty brutal in exploring this theme.

      When Odo came out as anti union I stopped respecting him.

        Rom can be easy since this applies for most of the series.

    Funny you chose Dolores Umbridge for Kai Winn when she’s literally Nurse Ratched, but maybe that just dates me.

      I was on season 6 before I realized where I recognized her from and it was a ‘whooooaaaa holy shit that actress is good at making people fucking hate them’ epiphany and I went from despising the character to enjoying watching her just embody evil bitch power… talented lady, impressive ability to literally draw ire.

      this was during the broadcast run before everything in the universe was documented on wikipedia heh.

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon

This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo

Some things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek

Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole

You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don’t get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn’t inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.
