Any idea what the binary tat is supposed to say? I get "Poeira" from a binary to ASCII converter, which is apparently "Dust" in Portuguese. But that seems kinda an odd choice to have tattooed on yourself in binary.
That’s one beef I have with the Trek universe; everyone has warp drive and similar ships.
Well, I love Trek but it's rather simplistic, the galaxy is essentially an enlarged planet Earth, so it's kinda fitting that the technology level is equalized, everyone trades and spies, so...
I want a version where there are plant people who use no metal; or aquatic people who never found fire.
That's a budget issue. The story was more important than the alien physiology... With nowaday's CG it's going to be easier to do that.
The same way you had 'The Addams Family' and 'The Munsters'...
I want a series that drops all of Trek's history and starts fresh with a new ship. No five fingered aliens. Truly strange creatures. No Vulcans or Klingons, 100% new.
Poul Anderson was an old school science fiction writer of the Heinlein/Asimov era.
He specialized in world building, often starting with a sun and then figuring out what the planets would look like. Once he had a good plaent he'd create the inhabitants.

Lower Decks. Excellent adult oriented comedy that's also canon to Trek.

She's got Lok'tar ogar and Horde symbol tattoos so she's cool in my book.

Yes, but without the Star Trek references.

Maybe the beginning of poeira estelar, meaning star dust? As in, “we’re all star dust”. She could be a Brazilian or Portuguese Trekker.

The 8th letter is "d," isn't it?

I can't remember which Trek novel it was, but there was a claim that Trelane was a very young member of the Q.
samus12345@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
Probably Q-Squared.
Dagwood222@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y
I believe you are correct.
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
No idea, but I've heard the theory thrown around for some time.
Dagwood222@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 2y
Yeah, pretty much every race Kirk and Spock ran into was either Stone Age, late XXth Century, or unimaginably advanced. And they all wore bikinis.

Realistically, the chances that other species you encounter in a vast galaxy could be at your same technological level are low

Wonder what the binary tattoo says
samus12345@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
According to another post here, "poeira" for the first 6. The 7th I can't make out, but the 8th appears to be "d".
teft@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
I grabbed a better pic of her from her deviantart page with the tattoo more clearly shown:
samus12345@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Looks like it has 19 letters. but I can't make them out.
teft@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Poeira±das&e[strelas] - 'stardust' in Portuguese.
I'm guessing on the letters in brackets. The rest I got from the picture.
