Yeah, apart from the fact you could jam it into the leak in your warp core and it would hold the plasma in.
It took some searching but I managed to find the closing Tally since you didn't include the actual ship names in your "Winning Vote" spoiler. The tally is a mess since it's the inserted one but it's pretty clear those three are the winners.

Her face kind of reminds me of the female changeling from DS9. Were they played by the same person?Nope.

Fucking over Wenli Yang or any metaphysical twin of his, to the point that he can't perform magnificently as a tactician... is really, really hard. I won't say it's literally impossible in theory, but it's really hard. He's practically the anthropomorphic personification of miraculous, seemingly inexplicable victory in the face of ludicrously unfavorable odds.
Are large predators even a thing on Risa? Because I'm beginning to think the answer is 'no.' Like, there may be marine predators (to which the response is 'get out of the water'), but land-based ones?
Yaaaay science!
Yaaaay tsunbees!
Whoa. I think we now know who taught Picard how to speechify.
Also, preservers whoa.

Same actress, and somewhat similar makeup.
Either a very questionable decision on the part of the DS9 costume designers, or they were trying to imply something about the origins of the Changelings.
Which is why you just kill him in some deniable way, or even non-deniable way if you have a sacrificial pawn. There's more than one reason why you see Juleen directly bringing Wenlai his meals twice in the same omake.

According to my omake, that's pretty much exactly it. The Risans evolved in the wake of a mass extinction event that wiped out all of the large terrestrial carnivores.

Or the female founder knew about the message (perhaps it was also spread in the gamma quadrant), noticed the similarity to Odo's appearance and deliberately picked the form she'd use herself to look even more similar to the person in the message. Or perhaps they just were all emulating the appearance in the message long before Odo came back (I don't remember whether it was ever explicitly stated that they were emulating him or if that was just a fan theory, if it's not explicit canon him finding taking that appearance easier could be something like a latent/racial memory just like him being drawn to the Omarion Nebula), and an appearance especially similar is treated as something like a sign of rank.
EDIT: No, wait, the obvious explanation is that humanoid species are humanoid due to the seed of the Preservers, and the diversions from Preserver appearance are approximately randomly distributed, so the average look of humanoid species is very similar to them. The Founders are emulating the average of humanoid species, and so happen to look a lot like the Preservers.

I am pretty sure that this sentence is wrong and doesn't make much sense as it stands now.... Something like "... has resulted in the death of my ..." would make much more sense.
Otherwise interesting turn.

Yeah, short of someone on the order of Nemesis from the Last Angel showing up nobody's beating Wenlai decisively in a fair fight. Not even his Klingon opposite number, Sulu, Nash or Chen.
And Nemesis is a out-of-genre post-singularity war machine and he'd STILL make her work for that decisive win.

I dig this explanation. To the headcanon thread!

Of course, this is why what was once Red Two would have snuck onto his staff.

Don't think she'd need that with force parity.
Edit: You read TLA too? Awesome!

Do we have any Apiata Starfleet captains? Or is it too soon?
- Location
- Patriarchova
Too soon I think. I believe fifteen years is considered the minimum time in service before you can become a captain, with rare exceptions.

Probably too soon.
Leaniss became our first 'new member' captain in 2312, five years ago, but that is because:
1) She's got powerful political backing at home on Amarki, what with being of high rank.
2) The Amarki specifically requested her as a Starfleet captain for one of their own ships; she didn't captain a Starfleet vessel until 2314.
3) She joined Starfleet almost immediately at quest start, like 2301 or early 2302.
No Apiata could have joined us for about five years after that time, so I wouldn't expect to see any Apiata with ranks above Commander in the fleet as a whole.
EDIT:
I am not intentionally excluding Samhaya Mrr'shan as a "new member" captain. But the Caitians have been in contact with us for a long time and Sam obviously joined Starfleet well before 2300, so she's not a good comparison.

She also transferred in at the rank of Lieutenant I believe which meant she skipped the 4 years at academy and more years as an ensign
We might have one or two somewhere, but that would've likely been a result of a transfer from the Apiatan navy to Starfleet. And unlikely to be in command of a starship.

The apiata command structure is also much more different from Starfleet than the Amarki's. I doubt any of their officers could just transfer in like Leaniss did, they'd need an extensive re-training course at the very least.

Yeah. Kinda kicking myself for having not realized the moment I saw Redemption of Sol's name what would happen.

The very definition of an extremely productive quarter. I suspect that future quarters will be as productive... The combination of mutual support + Chen's bonus means we will be making a lot of rolls.
