It wasn't until I got near the end that I realized Shran was the Federation ship name. I thought it was one of the SW characters Matt was using.

I loved Shran he was fucking awesome.

The USS Shran exists in canon except it's not Constitution. It was introduced in Discovery.

@Burning Kitty Discovery is... Complicated. It's canon, whilst not being canon. The official response for Discovery's canonicity is "It is canon, but it has no baring on the rest of the Prime Timeline" Because Discovery's backstage was a mess, going through multiple writing teams, each of which pulled it in a different direction.

Discovery only makes sense if it is non-canon. I mean, unless something happens that turns all of the Klingons back into their old selves, wipes out all references to the Spore Drive, explains why a Starship had a holodeck about 100 years before they were invented and numerous other problems.

Point is, I like Discovery as an Elseworlds story, or a continuation of the Kelvin timeline, but I refuse to accept that it's Prime Timeline canon, because it is a square peg that they are trying to force into a hexagonal hole.

@Burning Kitty As for why I called it Shran, well, I didn't actually know about there already being a USS Shran in Discovery, but, I always wondered why Starfleet always names it's Starships after only Human things. Human cities, famous Earth vessels, famous Humans, why don't the other founding species get ships named after them. The other names I was contemplating were USS Amonak and USS Gral.

I like Discovery as a Scifi series that is not related to anything else ever. IMO it'sn't Star Trek. Those aliens they are fighting are NOT Klingon.

IMO Orville is more like Star Trek than Discovery.

Discovery might have worked if it was set in a future sometime after Voyager, at least then Klingons not looking like Klingons could have plausible explanation instead of the radical Klingon to Not-Klingon to Klingon crap they are doing. Hollywood needs to get over this garbage obsession with prequels.

Philippa Georgiou is a lot better character than that idiot captaining the Discovery or Burnham.

So far the only thing I like about Discovery is the Mirror Universe. Captain Tilly so much fun.

To me Federation ships are the Human ships. Andorians have their own ships. Vulcans have their own ships. Humans have never been shown having ships independent of the Federation.

@mattmanganonHumans run most of the ships we see. There is a Vulcan science vessel named "Serak" in one episode I think.

I heard a theory that Discovery was actually the story of Section 31, which explains some things. I haven't seen the show though, so I don't know how accurate it is.

@TheUnknowable Discovery is definitely a Section 31 ship, but Section 31 predate the Federation, so this can't be about them being formed. I mean, Reed was a former member in Enterprise, which is canonical to Discovery.

Section 31 my second favorite thing of DS9. Interesting, explains quite a bit. Except the god awful looking Not-Klingons.

Ok, so turns out that this extra time I am spending at work wasn't just the 1 week I thought it was going to be and might actually turn into 2 or 3. In any case, I'm going to be extra fucking tired for the next few weeks because of working 5 days a week on 11 hour shifts. Sorry about this, I will let you all know when this is finished, but for a while, consider me on hiatus.

@Burning Kittythe only other player can't play right now due to IRL issues, so it's delayed until he can return or we get another player.
