There is no other Trek that follows that name convention. We don't call "Voyager" STV or "Enterprise" STE. For me to believe that someone had a) never seen someone use STD applied to Disco pejoratively and, b) decided to use that abbreviation when DIS, DSC, and Disco are all far more common, I would have to be convinced that this is their first week discussing Star Trek on the internet.

I mean you can choose to respect people's pronouns or you can choose to no longer be a member of this community. What is unclear?

Interesting theory. If you’d never previously seen “Discovery” called STD, what made you choose it?

Care to explain what you mean?

Seems like something you’d want to discuss with your doctor.

Yeah, despite the number of Trek boardgames that have been made, there are not a lot that try to simulate an actual scenario from the episodes in this way. Most of them tend to be 4x, or a fairly abstract ruleset with the Trek theme pasted on.

But this game is so specificity trying to emulate the feel of those episodes that I have to imagine it was what the designers set out to do.

The strangest thing about it is that those episodes aired in 2018, and the game took this long to hit the shelves. I know Trek that Trek licensing can be kind of slow, but this seems extreme.

I think in this case it’s likely a WizKids thing, but yeah, licensed games can frequently be prettier slapdash.

There’s no in universe justification for Adira. She doesn’t come from a backwards culture

Regardless of your opinions about the storyline, you can address the character by their proper pronouns. Or you can choose to no longer post here.

It 100% did involve Kurtzman. People out here just making up whatever nonsense fits their narrative. Clown shit.

Hollywood nepo babies are a real problem.
