So she's the best admiral Starfleet ever had because...

she approved a second pilot?

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

That's Navigation (1) and Tactical (2), which changes seats a couple episodes later with Sulu.

People do seriously cosplay Lucy Ricardo at conventions for this reason.

Best Admiral was Ross, hands down.

That stooge for Section 31? Hardly.

Canon.

Also a fun fact: "I Love Lucy" is even better in the original Klingon.

“You haven’t experienced Babaloo until you’ve heard it in the original Klingon.”

Also love that this figure exists, but she looks very good in those TOS colors. Have to make both make sense in-universe somehow.

So I’m gonna fan-canon that she’s El-Aurian. She joined Starfleet on the day the Federation Charter signed posing as a Human because her race had not formally contacted Starfleet at that time.

Later on, after becoming a high-ranking member of Starfleet Command, she revealed her true identity. No harm, no foul. She continued to climb the ranks, mostly serving an administrative role but also taking command during missions involving high secrecy.

As of 2499, she is a Fleet Admiral serving as the Marshall of Sol System, which by proxy makes her the Commodore of the First Fleet (The fleet charged with protecting Earth which includes the USS Enterprise).

If you ask her, she’ll gladly talk your ear off about the heydays of the Federation and how Kirk’s Enterprise will always be her personal favorite ship of the fleet.

“I’ve seen so many famous ships and so many great Commanders, but as long as I’ve been alive that was the only ship that was love at first sight. I may have spoiled Kirk with a lot of choice assignments as a result.”

Alternate universe cannon: Ball was the secret wife of Khan Noonien Singh

That's not a high bar, though. To be the best you just need to not get infected by an alien worm parasite or betray your organisation's founding principles for the prospect of immortality.

Meanwhile, the Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet:

Admiral Ball, you have some explaining to do.

Did she pick up Romulan transmissions on her fillings?

It's fine. She actually earned it. lol

I'm content being the best admiral Starfleet could have had if they weren't a bunch of sticklers for the rules. They're all like "You can't be an admiral because you ✌️didn't go to the Academy✌️, you're not ✌️qualified for the job✌️, and you've ✌️escaped from an institution✌️." 🙄

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Could they have found anyone better?

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 20 points 1 day ago

I was always a fan of Admiral Clancy:

Shut the fuck up, Picard

/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
