This is why it always bothered me that whether or not an unauthorized person can used the computer is dependent on episode.

In canon every console has biometric security, but there are several episodes where people, like Cardasians, just walk in and start pressing buttons.

Even in the future, people are leaving their workstations unlocked and unattended

In all fairness, you'd probably want to have overrides in case of emergency.

"Sorry captain, I can't stop the warp core from exploding, nor can I eject it because we're all turning into space lizards on account from the virus the away team picked up" is not a situation they want to find themselves in.

The cardasians being enemies with the Federation means they'd probably have spies working on finding those overrides.

Granted they didn't explain any of that, and it is 99.99% just lazy writing. But there could still be realistic in universe explanations.

Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.
