/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.

Klingons seem to be the only alien species in star trek that has multiple races/ethnicities. Every other alien i can think of all wear identical makeup/prosthetics. Klingons get a whole range of appearanes.
Off the top of my head: Vulcan, Andorian, Orion, Xindi
EDIT: How could i forget these folks?
Oh, yeah, I'll give you Vulcan. Do the Xindi all count as one species? I took them to be six (well, five now) distinct species that all evolved on the same planet. As for Andorians, I guess they have the Aenar but Shran described them as a "sub-species". Not sure if that was racism on his part or not. Orions I've never seen portrayed as anything but green.
You are right, Xindi and Andorian/Aenar are actually different species, so that shouldn't count. There were blue Orions in The Animated Series and Lower Decks
Hey, that's awesome. I never even noticed while watching LD bc they spent so much time just expanding Orion culture in general. Such a good show.
