A solarpunk Star Trek would be amazing! Tell the story of civilians living in a post-scarcity economy, building a colony, farming, and running restaurants. The “Articles of the Federation” idea of “The West Wing in Space” made my heart skip a beat.
I want to see more of Federation life, through a lens other than the military!
I enjoyed the couple episodes of DS9 where you meet Sisco’s dad back on earth running a restaurant.
Exactly what I was thinking about. Though I think if you wanted to do a series, you’d probably want a little more conflict than a paradise planet could offer.

I could see a series in the vein of “The Love Boat” centered around Risa.
Could we have a spinoff show but it’s just every faction except Starfleet going about their day? Klingons, Cardassians, Vulcans, Ferengi…
Lower Decks basically did a pilot episode for that.
Is it just me or did they do a Borg Lower Decks for like 5 seconds of screen time?
Yeah it was a post-credits scene
Vulcan dispute resolution being the snippiest academic back-and-forth.
Minus Ferengi, they’re boring.
they were the center of some of DS9’s best episodes
One dimensional crap imo.
They are excellent negotiators and traders. If you need something like an ionized plasma channel or even a prototype phase cloak, the Ferengi can find it for you.
TNG Ferengi or DS9 Ferengi?
@Rozauhtuno @cabron_offsets DS9, because of Quark’s bar alone.
I own a Morn action figure, have Mark Allen Shepard’s autographed Morn card as well, because of his character being a Cheers reference. I even have a metal die cut Morn card somewhere I think.
…I may also be an alcoholic. 🤔
TNG Ferengi were more interesting. DS9 they just felt like filler B characters and any Ferengi episodes were inane. But then, I think DS9 sucked.
I mean, the Ferengi were a total flop. They were meant to be the big bad guys in TNG but their appearance was deemed too humorous. That’s how we got the Borg - needed a big bad guy.
@cabron_offsets @atlasraven31 disagree, my wife and I are ferengiHolics lol. I blame Quark

idk but I would like to know how they get dome people to be dilithium miners, as like in a moneyless society, what benefit they have in return.
Would love to explore that.

@A_Chilean_Cyborg @ValueSubtracted You might be interested in Ursula K. LeGuin’s book THE DISPOSSESSED. In one scene, the character from the anarchist planet explains to a character from the capitalist planet how they get people to do the dirty or dangerous jobs.
Just watched the video… it seems like it’s asking for Prodigy without acknowledging its existence. 😕
I would argue that Prodigy is very Starfleet-centric.
@ValueSubtracted I don’t think so, the canon has a lot links to possible stories without starfleet. i would find stories about living under the Dominion interesting.
Absolutely!
