/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

The one that immediately came to mind for me as my favorite is Omet'iklan, played to the hilt by Clarence Williams III. Remata'Klan was also a stone-cold bad-ass, so maybe it’s a toss up.

In a weird way this humanized the Jem Hadar. It gave then a motivation beyond killing or conquering that made them more relatable than, say, the Borg or Species 8517.

Thanks for posting this thread and giving me a whole new appreciate for this actor and his characters. 🖖

When I was a kid, I came up with a theory that the jemhadar had no individual names, like the Borg. Everyone in a jem hadar unit was whatever prefix Remata or Omata etc refered to the name of the unit. Clan was added because they were all a cohort of a dozen or so people. And that the only way to distinguish amongst themselves was their rank, solidifying the whole "order brings victory, victory is life" mantra.

I know now that doesn't really work but hey, I had fun thinking it up.
