A parasite clinging onto Starfleet for life and sustenance?

That’s clearly a Lemmy.

Maybe this is the larva of the Cerritos Warp Moth, named after the ship which discovered it.

Every century or so, it needs to replenish energy that's apparently readily extracted from warp nacelles. If the 1701 had tagged it like a whale, the Cerritos could see if it was the same Dutchman Graboid.

Memory Alpha does not have a species name listed, so imma call it the Dutchman Graboid.

Zinkel's wingless stellar wasp. (The winged variety are really impressive.)

I wonder what it would use the wings for.

Maybe as Solar sails?

Its light-up abdomen and fleshy structure is where it gets its name: "Fleshlight".

Of course it's got a name. Its name is Jordan. The question is what its species is named.

Honestly pretty fucking racist to assume it doesn't have a name.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y

Starfleet? Racist? Why you green-blooded, inuman...

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I posit that someone who is space racist is spacist.
