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

      Yes, but without the Star Trek references.

    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.

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

    I can’t remember which Trek novel it was, but there was a claim that Trelane was a very young member of the Q.

      No idea, but I’ve heard the theory thrown around for some time.

        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

            That’s one beef I have with the Trek universe; everyone has warp drive and similar ships.

            I want a version where there are plant people who use no metal; or aquatic people who never found fire.

            No more five fingered aliens!

              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.

      According to another post here, “poeira” for the first 6. The 7th I can’t make out, but the 8th appears to be “d”.

        I grabbed a better pic of her from her deviantart page with the tattoo more clearly shown:

            Poeira±das&e[strelas] - ‘stardust’ in Portuguese.

            I’m guessing on the letters in brackets. The rest I got from the picture.
