If Alexander's surname is Roshenko then surely his dad is the same?

In that case, why isn't it 'Commander/Lt Roshenko"?

Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko, bane to the Duras family, slayer of Gowron.

Bit of a mouthfull tbh. Starfleet probably went with 'worf' cos the surname field was 25 chars max

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

Centuries in the future and government is still using a 25 character maximum for string data. Actually yeah, that tracks.

So the isolinear chip stores a lot of data...

Hell, Enterprise D's 3 Core computers we suspect to hold ~483,840,000,000 TB to 3,870,720,000,000 TB depending on which canon reference you use.

They could store Worf's full name.

Had to make room for Riker’s porn folder.

And his music sheets for his trombone.

It's not so much that the computers are incapable of storing it. Turns out the Starfleet records system just depends on a schema an intern implemented at the UN in 1997, and no one's had time to migrate it since then.

Yeah but then they have to fax it to corporate, and with such a long name, it's such a bother.....

ZFS could manage that. You might have to split his name over a few files though :/

[-] jobbies@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

BTRFS and immutability might be better, given how unwieldy it is and how often it changes.

Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings

As of now I'm deciding that the Rozhenkos are from Vinci, Tuscany

Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko, bane to the Duras family, slayer of Gowron da Vinci

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

but that raises further questions. Why isn't it "Alexander son of Worf, house of Martok, house of Rozhenko"?

Because Alexander rejected his Klingon birthright.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

this continues to raise further questions. When? At what age is he allowed to do that? Source?

When he turned 18.
