As a young fan, the space battles were the best part. You might say I was crazy about them.

/c/TenFoward: 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.

While initially moth-balled due to diminished Borg presence (pre First Contact), the Defiant project spearheaded by Sisko was a much earlier jump toward militaristic thinking within Starfleet's leadership. The appearance of the Dominion, of course, ratcheted up that mindset. Picard's ardent claim that the main function of the Federation was exploration/peace was hardly reflected by its actions in that time period. Borg, Breen, and badmirals set a dark path going forward for a while.
The main function of the Federation is to explore and expand equality among its members during peace times, defend itself when other threaten to prevent this, and with the guiding hand of Section 31, do more of the former than the latter.
Makes me wonder if we'll see Section 31 intervening in the background of some established canon events in the upcoming movie.
