/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. 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.

  1. Worf had already gotten permission to wear his alteration years ago on file. Ro didn't have permission yet.
  2. Deanna works with civilians, who may not be as open with her if she is wearing a uniform. Again, nothing a little off screen paperwork would clear up
  3. Riker takes a risk to assert his authority with an easy to find infraction to bust her with to let her know he means business.

That outfit somehow both covers everything and is yet barely decent at the same time.

The essence of sexy.

The costume designers knew what they were doing:-).

Who says they aren’t to code? Maybe they are allowed to implement accents from their native cultures? I mean we are talking about the “woke” starfleet here.

In Worf's case, that is actually true. His sash is a culturally significant item for Klingons, displaying his house sigil for example. The same is true for Ro's earrings though. And since Worf got an allowance, Ro should get it, too (which Picard eventually grants. But Worf never got that remark from Riker).
Deanna however just wears civil garments.

There also was a bunch of selectivisim going on: by allowing the only klingon in Starfleet, a son of a major house, wearing the sash, and then having him posted prominently on board the bridge of their flagship, was a power move.

Also: officers. Not only officers, but bridge crew officers. Captain + 1. There's more leeway after you've fought your way up the ranks.

I bet Harry Kim was always violating the dress code off screen, and that's why he's the perpetual ensign.
