Alright Folks! The Season One Star Trek: Eridani Plot Summaries Are Out, Feel Free To Give Them A Look!

Lieutenant commander Kendi Bofane Teki 

Kendi Bofane Teki was a Bantu man, born in the African Confederation in the Congo region. At first, he trained in the armed forces there, and won several marksmanship competitions, before being offered a post and recruited in Starfleet.  

At the Academy, he served as a wilderness survival instructor and combat instructor, and was known there as the quiet teacher who would reveal that he knew many old folks tales and legends around the campfire during the final nights of survival camping. After that, he took an assignment in the U.S.S Korolev for 3 years, climbing the ranks of the security department. At 37 years old, he was given the choice to be a department head on a deep space mission or working at the Academy to reform the training of security crews, and chose to become Head of Security on the U.S.S. Eridani.

lol PSA an oopsie happened but you can still sign up for Eridani episode prompts!!!

I’m currently writing up something right now, and you bet your ass Terrance Riley (and Sopek) are gonna be featured in it… 🥴

The S1 Prompt for Star Trek Eridani have been mistakenly removed from the collection (I am sorry, I'm still learning how to use the collection setting of the prompt meme). They are now up once more and you can sign up again in the claims you had, or if you're new, find new and interesting prompts! We were so glad to see such interest and I hope we can count on all of you again, despite this technical mishap.

Link to the collection and prompts Here.

Once again, many apologies.

OH MY GOSH A MILLION TIMES YES!! (This is a weird note but for some reason this reminded me of how Ponyo evolves from a fish to a girl through weird chicken-frog phases, idk.) I think I’ve seen others (or wikis) mention Betazoid eyesight being different from humans in terms of night vision (like frogs), and maybe field of view is wider, but they evolved to handle similar-to-human typical lighting when they evolved to remain primarily on land?? Maybe this also has some sort of connection to how their REM is reached at a different frequency than humans??

Side note I’ve found the home planet is called Cyndriel by the Betazoid people!

Thank you guys for contributing to this!

Hi! First off I want to say I love your analyses of Vulcan culture and pieces regarding Vulcan language, etc. it’s always so well-thought out and interesting to read/consider!! I’m also a huge fan of your writing in general <3. I was wondering, though, if you’ve ever given any thought to Betazoid culture and religion, or even language? Although there’s mention of the Four Deities and some cultural (religious??) artifacts, as well as seemingly matriarchal Houses, there doesn’t seem to be much info in terms of specifics or what the polytheistic belief system on Betazoid might actually entail- and I’ve seen a handful of Betazoid words, but not much in the way of language or language structure, so I basically was just curious as to whether you had any thoughts or headcanons on any of this! Sorry for such a long ask lol

Oh man, that's so interesting to think of! I really don't know a thing about Betazoids though.

I have a couple headcanons, like that they didn't use language at all before their first contact, or that they are naturally pretty upbeat and non aggressive (which is why they don't shield their telepathy like Vulcans do—no dark feelings to hide).

But I'm fairly certain beta canon would nix the first one, because supposedly Betazoids don't develop telepathy till adolescence. (Though I don't like that—they are so relaxed in their use of it that it feels like they must have it from the beginning.)

I also think Betazed is an exonym—something humans assigned them from the Greek alphabet. Which would mean their own name for themselves might be quite different! That is, if they called themselves anything at all before meeting humans.

So in short: I've got nothing, but maybe somebody else who sees this might know something?

I'm obsessed with "comment, Mr Spock" "very bad poetry, captain" we don't talk about Spock being into art and also bitchy about it enough as a community
