/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

It makes sense, at their core they are the same as the Romulans, the logic philosophy is an attempt to counteract it.
Without the Kolinahr, Vulcan would be nothing but espionage, intrigue, cloaking devices, and Reman slaves all over the place.
I always thought it was weird af that the Vulcans never had cloaking tech but the Klingons did. They were warp capable far before humans and I guess I just kind of assumed before Klingons.
The Klingons got cloaking devices from the Romulans when they used to be allies.
Okay. That makes a bit more sense, but how would the race that came from Vulcan have it and not them?
The Romulans invented it first, but the Federation - and by extension, the Vulcans - also have cloaking technology. They’re just banned from using it by the Federation-Romulan peace treaty. (ref: TNG S7E12 “The Pegasus”)
Patent law
Bird patent law
Even the Klingons had to put them in birds of prey to be compliant.
Likely the same reason some countries/peoples on earth don't yet have nuclear weapons.
