/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.

Klingon insurance programs do class that as a complication of battle and therefore an honourable death.

Unfortunately for the Klingons the Ferengi insurance underwriters class most deaths as non accidental and therefore don't pay out, they realized most Klingons are happy enough to be told it was honourable even if they receive no compensation.

Klingon insurance also has Act of God's clauses, but because they killed their gods they never pay out.

Long story short, never get Klingon healthcare or give them powers of attorney, they're not a financially minded people.

I assumed Klingon healthcare was just asking your friends to kill you if you come down with the sniffles.

A common misconception

If able you must kill yourself before requesting your friends to kill you for having sniffles.
