/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I've always found it interesting that Neelix always has access to Leola Root. It must grow on nearly every M-Class planet in the Delta Quadrant. Which, given the vastness of space, doesn't make a lot of sense.

Now, I can think of two possible reasons for this. The first is like parallel evolution, like carcinization. Perhaps the Leola Root is just a really good blueprint for a plant, and like animals keep evolving into crabs, plants keep evolving into Leola Root.

The second is, like the humanoid form, an ancient race spread Leola Root throughout the quadrant, seeding worlds with its genes. Judging by Neelix's particular evangelism for the plant, could that race perhaps have been the Talaxians? Perhaps with help from the Vaadwaur's subspace tunnels?
