Yeah, despite the number of Trek boardgames that have been made, there are not a lot that try to simulate an actual scenario from the episodes in this way. Most of them tend to be 4x, or a fairly abstract ruleset with the Trek theme pasted on.

But this game is so specificity trying to emulate the feel of those episodes that I have to imagine it was what the designers set out to do.

The strangest thing about it is that those episodes aired in 2018, and the game took this long to hit the shelves. I know Trek that Trek licensing can be kind of slow, but this seems extreme.

I think in this case it’s likely a WizKids thing, but yeah, licensed games can frequently be prettier slapdash.

There’s no in universe justification for Adira. She doesn’t come from a backwards culture

Regardless of your opinions about the storyline, you can address the character by their proper pronouns. Or you can choose to no longer post here.

It 100% did involve Kurtzman. People out here just making up whatever nonsense fits their narrative. Clown shit.

Hollywood nepo babies are a real problem.

This is the type of quality c/risa needs. Thank you.

Edit: changed “STD” to “discovery” as apparently we’re in middle school

Buddy, considering how absolutely childish the moniker "STD" has always been, you've got no ground to whine here.

Secondly, at least in middle school, children are taught the meaning of the word, "objectively."

What does Burnham get served to her?

Some of the bottles of alcohol on Orion in “Something Borrowed, Something Green” did have the Orion captain’s face on them.

It does seem like a missed opportunity to have Admiral Vassery refer to them as Or-ee-ans though, considering he was established as having a speech impediment in “Moist Vessel”.

Garidian. They're a subject species of the Romulan Star Empire, and use similar ships, but theirs are a pale brown/grey with red designs.

One of them showed up in the PIC prequel tie-in novel staring Troi and Riker, and apparently they're in STO now as well.

Mariner seems like she's done self sabotaging, so none of them, really.

I really enjoyed Resurgence starting out, and without giving too much away, I liked the general thrust of the story, but man there are certain points along the way where you really see the Telltale cracks in the Trek facade.
