Star Trekkin'

Being a giant nerd, I was totally into Star Trek as a kid and had all sorts of third party books and blueprints and other nerd crap. But even I know the difference between reality and fantasy. The internet has allowed the world to come together and exchange information in ways never dreamt of. There is a dark side to this information exchange. Namely, much information is horrible and should never be seen by anyone. Not because of censorship, but because it is just crazy. And thus, here are some crazy Star Trek fan wank stuff that I have found recently:

It appears to be a big thing in Star Trek fanfic to make pictures of your characters using actual actors:

What a shame they can never make this movie, what with one actor being dead. The creator seems to have a thing for blondes and black men, so know we know what kind of porn this guy watches, as well. And LOL at Vulcan Chris Rock.

Let’s rock!

Good Lord…

As part of a request from Admiral Nathan Jenkins, the “Kazue” variant was based on a japanese female “Maki Goto” from the 21st Century due to his admiration of japanese culture.

Who is Nathan Jenkins?

Admiral Nathan Jenkins is one of the most honourable Starfleet Officers of his time, due to his Caitian heritage from his father he treasures important things as sacred and that includes the laws of the Federation. However there comes a time when an officer must take a stand for what he knows is right and Admiral Jenkins is no different.

One thing Admiral Jenkins will not stand for is insubordination from his crew, but despite this he has always tried to have a joke and a laugh with othes especially with his crew because he feels one must be close to ones’ crew. This means that Admiral Jenkins will stake a lot for his crew to make sure they are safe because they are his friends and are also like to most Captains are like family to him.

Also because of his aggressive nature he can often be found having arguements with others, adding to this is the “honour” of sorts that Caitians carry similarly to the Klingons in that Admiral Jenkins although being only a Half Caitian hates to lose.
Appearance

Because Admiral Jenkins is the offspring of a Human and a Caitian he therefore has both attributes common to both species. He has two cat like ears coming out from either side of his hair, and also has a long furry tail near the bottom of his spine.

However he has a very humanoid body in appearance lacking the furry appearance that a Caitian would typically have. While having a young appearance, it is almost impossible to know how old he really is, but due to his Human DNA one would expect him to be the age he appears.

There is actually a lot of cat people, but this guy goes way crazy trying to explain it instead of just making another Caitian/human character:

dr. Peterson is a scientist and her specialties are bio physics. One day there was an accident in her lab and she woke up in the sick bay a few days later how ever she had changed and she was realizing this since shortly after she woke up. Zoey was studying a certain Cat like creature from a new found world when the accident happened. she was studying some of its DNA and found some thing remarkable but when she had slipped and fell into a table of a bunch of beakers and DNA samples they all fell onto her and fused into her DNA and she her self had become a bit just like the cat like creature. The only deference was she would still be in her human form but at times she would have cat ears and a tail sprout out at certain reactions of her own such as excitement, and embarrassment. Only the doctor that treated her knows her certain condition and it is not life threatening so she decided she would be able to live with this since the affects can’t be reversed. Some of the side effects she has is she has four newly pointed teeth always. And there is some times that cat urge to do what cats like to do such as play with a ball of string if she sees it.

Zoey Was transferred after the accident a year later to the USS Daystrom to be first officer due to one reason Cannons. Cannons had worked with Zoey back in the academy and when he found that she was at the rank of Commander decided to reunite them and work together as a team once again.

Huh…
Raymond L. Anders

Captain Raymond believes everyone is equal, has a right to a good life and believes all are capable of good. He upholds the beliefs of the Federation and will always look for a peaceful solution to any hostile situation. This is seen in Raymond’s style of command and the way he deals with people.

Raymond does not believe war is the final solution to a problem but believes diplomacy and understand is the true way of peace. However Raymond being a part of Combat Division will always do his duty for Second Fleet and Starfleet, even if that means coming into conflict. He understands the need for protection and self sacrifice, especially when it means protecting the honour and well-being of the Federation.

The house of Vra’chath spread the word of Captain Anders’s deeds which led to him having influence with the Klingon people. But Raymond has also acquired enemies in his quest to help create a peaceful and fair galaxy, such as the fanatical Romulan royalists who kill all who seek negotiation with the United Federation of Planets and the Kalosian Terrorist. Raymond will always fight on the side of good, through upholding the incorruptible political values and upstanding beliefs of the Federation.
Physical Description

Handsome, tall white male with brown eyes and brown hair . Has regular exercise to keep a health body and an alert mind, he is always prepared for any condition Starfleet assigns.

Me

Look out, J-Lo!

Star Trek: Hidden Frontier – 106 – Echoes

Star Trek: Hidden Frontier – 106 – Echoes


2001Official Website

Star Trek fan series have multiplied around the web like rabbits on Viagra. The pioneering series that showed fan films can have story arcs, recurring characters, and good computer graphics was Hidden Frontier. A spin-off of a private series known as Voyages of the USS Angeles, which you can only see if you know someone who worked on it or at a lucky screening, Hidden Frontier became an epic series on its own, and helped inspire many other fan productions. The production lasted seven seasons, and spawned several other Trek series and even an original science fiction series. Like all projects, there is improvement over time, one that mirrors the actual Star Trek series as well. Early episodes of The Next Generation are laughable, and Enterprise was almost unwatchable until season three. As TarsTarkas.NET will be covering the entire run of Hidden Frontier episodes, we have to start at the beginning. A beginning that will look pretty bad once we get to later productions. But a beginning never the less. There is no shame in these being not technologically sound. Judging the earlier episodes, we will keep in mind the technology of the time. The important thing is if the show is entertaining, not if the makeup is professional. That is the main criterion in which we will be making our judgments. Superb CGI effects cannot save a terrible script.

Episodes of Hidden Frontier are available online at HiddenFrontier.com. You can also see their other series and participate in their forums.

Things to know:
USS Excelsior – The USS Excelsior is a Galaxy-class dreadnought that looks suspiciously like the Future Enterprise from the episode All Good Things…. It is the flagship for Captain Knapp as he spreads his anger across the Briar Patch and gets into fights with Blue Space Jawas.
Deep Space 12 – Deep Space 12 is the new starbase built to deal with the Ba’ku stuff from Star Trek: Insurrection. Captain Knapp is in charge, and we don’t see much inside the station this season.
Briar Patch – The Briar Patch is a region in Sector 441 made of supernovae remains, false vacuum fluctuations, metaphasic radiation and planets including the Ba’ku planet. It was was seen in Star Trek: Insurrection. Most of the action takes place in this area, because fans demanded more information about the Ba’ku.

Captain Ian Quincy Knapp (David W. Dial) – Angry! His brother was killed by the Dominion, and left Captain Knapp angry! Had a mysterious encounter during the Dominion War (The Dominion who killed his brother) with mystery aliens that made him angry, and now that he commands Deep Space 12 and the USS Excelsior he can take out his anger over his brother’s death with flaming kill-lasers. Did I mention his brother was killed?
Cmd. Joseph Johns (Mike Johns) – Commander who does high-level stuff on Deep Space 12, I guess. I am not really sure where he is in the command hierarchy. We will get a whole episode dedicated to one of his goofy hobbies soon.
Counselor Myra Elbrey (Barbara Clifford) – Betazoid, used to teach at the Academy. Survivor of the Grey attack on the USS Rutledge. Has a dog named Mr. Scott. Despite her being interesting and played by a decent actress, not much is done with Elbrey in the first season.
Ensign Andrew Barrett (Tyler Bosserman) – Communications officer and starting second grade next week. If this kid was any younger, they’d have to install diaper changing stations on the bridge!
Lt. William Martinez (Anthony Diaz) – Chief of Security who looks like a Chief of Security. Thus he is the Chief of Security. I know he does so on the USS Excelsior, but I don’t know if he does so on Deep Space 12 as well. Doesn’t get enough character development this season.

Guest Cast:

Lightoller (John Whiting) – The first officer of the Titanic is actually a crazed man from the future! Who would have thunk it?
Captain Ziminski (Renee Huberstock) – Another ineffective captain of a Federation Timeship from the 29th Century. Why do these captains suck so much? They always need 24th Century help. Starfleet must be a complete mess in the future. Captain of the Causality.
