Very exciting to see Fanhome’s reveal of this ship at New York Comic Con — I had a very small part in helping to design the Voyager-A for #StarTrekProdigy.

Truly a bucket list moment for me, as a lifelong Star Trek fan. 🖖

new Star Trek Adventures ttrpg book alert! this one’s all about the 23rd century, and @susanlbridges.bsky.social and i contributed to this one too!

here’s a couple of my favorite bits we did, for Captain Rachel Garrett (🩷) from TNG and Ensign Sylvia Tilly (🩷) from DISCO

🖖

.: SACRIFICE
FINAL PERSONAL LOG, CAPTAIN RACHEL GARRETT, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE-C
The Enterprise is moments away from returning to our time, where we will perish in defense of a small Klingon outpost. One ship, completely outmatched, could become the spark that ignites the fire of a Klingon-Federation alliance that could bring stability to the Galaxy. But we can't know for sure.
My crew knew what we signed up for—the possibility of giving our lives in hope of a better future. Yet we all decided to make that sacrifice, because we believe in the Federation and everything it stands for.
Because we believe in that better future.
Please don't squander it.

.:IS THIS WHO WE ARE?
PERSONAL LOG, ENSIGN SYLVIA TILLY, U.S.S. DISCOVERY
I'm in the Command Training Program. Me! And I'm an ensign! And I was awarded the Medal of Honor! The weight of it is really something. Metaphorically, I mean.
The medal isn't really heavy. Is it? I could weigh it.
The thing is, I should be so happy, right? And I am! But all of that happened because we're finally at peace, and that only happened under the threat of violence when we gave Chancellor L'Rell a bomb. Not me personally.
And that was an actual bomb. Not metaphorical.
I just wonder...is that the best we could've done?
And what does it say about us if it was?

Any of us that watched this episode when it aired carry that trauma with us. One never recovers from the death of Jadzia.

What I read was that Trek is a big priority for the studio and that is all I need to know!
