/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.

It's a question of politics, not technology.
Will the Romulans see this as potential Federation subterfuge? They may not be willing to allow Star Fleet ships to go in, at least not at first. Romulans won't really care if the backwater planets of the Neutral Zone get pillaged as long as their sovereignty isn't otherwise being challenged. Klingons won't care until something makes it their problem. They might be itching for a fight, but they won't throw themselves into a war with the Romulans without some kind of plan, and massing up in the Neutral Zone would cause all sorts of problems.
Once everyone is on the same page, it won't last long. A Galaxy-class starship is powerful, but not that powerful.
