SPACE – LANIUS STATION View of the STATION last seen in episode 105 "The Art Of Pulling Wool". Half a dozen of ALIEN SHIPS are docked at the modular built station. As we zoom in on one of the MODULES: INT. LANIUS STATION - CONFERENCE ROOM The room is festively decorated. The walls are dressed with vibrant colored sheets as backdrops. In the middle of the conference room, sitting at a richly filled dining table, we find an ECLECTIC GROUP of Orion Syndicate bosses. There are two ORIONS, a NAUSICAAN, a FERENGI, a XEPOLITE and one HUMAN. They are all enjoying the delicious meal that is being served and don't seem to be paying any attention to the mysterious FIGURE sitting at the head of the table. We can only see his or her LEATHER HANDGLOVES resting on the table. The rest of her or his body is almost carefully hidden in the shadows. An ORION FEMALE walks in, carrying a BOTTLE OF WINE. We can only see a part of her, just up to her shoulders. She moves from one guest to another, filling their empty glasses. As she stops at the Nausicaan to fill his glass: NAUSICAAN (deep and loud voice) I can't wait to taste this little green delicacy! He pulls her down onto his lap, giving us a clear look at her beautiful face: it's XARINA! NAUSICAAN (CONT'D) I've always had a soft spot for you. One of the Orions seems to be getting annoyed by the Nausicaan groping Xarina's body. ORION #1 She is Orion and therefore ours! The Nausicaan pushes Xarina off his lap and jumps up from the table: NAUSICAAN (challenging) Then fight for what is yours! Both Orion men stand up from the table whilst flexing their muscles. They are more than ready to meet the challenge presented by their Nausicaan colleague. The Human, fearing things are about to run out of hand, tries to mediate: HUMAN Gentlemen, please. Let's keep this civilized. The Ferengi grins: FERENGI (at Orion #1) Let him have the female . (at the Human) And we'll share Akbar's other assets between the rest of us. Sounds like an honest deal to me. Now the Nausicaan directs his anger towards the Ferengi: NAUSICAAN Do you take me for a fool? As he pushes Xarina away from him: NAUSICAAN (CONT’D) This female is worth nothing. As the Human picks up his glass: HUMAN Just look at yourselves: bickering like petty thugs. We are supposed to be the Syndicate’s best and brightest. Let us behave as such. His words seem to bring everyone back to their senses. HUMAN (CONT’D) Now, why don’t we all just sit down and enjoy this wonderful meal in peace? We've got plenty of time to discuss business in the morning. 2 As the Orions and Nausicaan take back their respective seats at the dinner table: ORION #2 suddenly starts coughing up blood. It’s an ugly mess. As the other Syndicate Leaders begin to panic: FERENGI What is this? Orion #2 tries to get up from his chair but falls straight down onto his plate: DEAD. HUMAN We've been- But he is not able to finish his sentence. He grabs his throat, making choking noises until BLOOD starts to pour out of his mouth too. NAUSICAAN Poisoned! We've been poisoned! Xarina slowly moves to the wall, smiling as she sees them, one by one, suffocate in their own blood. Only the Nausicaan seems to be fighting off the effects of the poison. He can barely keep himself straight, holding on to the edge of the table. Xarina takes out a KNIFE from underneath her skirt and moves up to the Nausicaan. As she holds it up in the air, ready to strike: XARINA You men are all the same. Blindsided by desires. Unable to see danger as it stares you right in the face. Pathetic. I will finish you. The Nausicaan looks up. Terrified by the shining blade above him. She stabs him in the neck. Not once, but twice. Like the rest of the Syndicate bosses, he falls dead onto the table. As she cleans the blood stained knife with her dress, the FIGURE sitting at the head of the table starts to speak. His voice is raw an sizzling: VOICE An interesting spectacle. But tell me: why spare my life? 3 XARINA You know why. As he gets up from his seat and steps into the light, we finally recognize his voice and the man himself: it is Kalari General KA ADILLO! KA ADILLO Yes. I can guess why. Without our financial support, the Syndicate's efforts to establish business in this sector would fall apart. As he approaches her: KA ADILLO (CONT'D) But somehow I don't think you have the Syndicate's best interests at heart. Xarina feels uncomfortable as he comes closer to her. She puts a few steps back, but KA ADILLO snatches her around the neck. As pulls her close and stares deep into her eyes: KA ADILLO (CONT'D) So tell me (a beat) What is it that you want from me? KA ADILLO's grip is so tight that Xarina starts choking. Barely able to speak: XARINA Akbar. I want to- Gasping for that final breath of air: XARINA (CONT'D) Avenge his death. As he loosens his grip: KA ADILLO And why would we be interested in supporting your personal quest for vengeance. XARINA I know of a weapon. A powerful weapon. Curiosity peaks in his eyes. As he lets go of his grip from her throat: 4 KA ADILLO Think carefully before you speak for you get one chance and one chance only. And if I can sense lies underneath your words, I promise you I will skin you alive. As she puts her hand on her bruised throat, ready to tell KA ADILLO everything she knows, we go to: EXT. GOLIATH ORBIT – KENDRICK’S PALACE - PORT 1 KENDRICK'S PALACE. The 4-armed space station orbiting the blue gas giant called GOLIATH and home to the Universal Trading Company. At DOCKING PORT 1 we find the BLUE STAR. INT. KENDRICK'S PALACE - BILL'S OFFICE BILL and JOHN are both sitting next to each other in front of the old OAK DESK. Behind them are the BIG WINDOWS, giving view to the buzzing activity on THE FLOOR. Bill looks very saddened. BILL (fragile) This is just terrible news son. He gets up from his chair and walks over to the big windows: BILL (CONT'D) All those people. All those innocent lives. JOHN I promised Elly we'd be shipping them food supplies as soon as possible. I hope you'll help me keep that promise. Bill turns round, facing John again: BILL Yes. Yes of course, son. We will. As he walks back over to his chair: 5 BILL (CONT'D) I'll talk to Wren. Let him make the necessary calls. Don't worry about that. We'll help them out. Your word is as good as mine. People should know that. JOHN Thanks dad. That means a lot to me. As Bill puts his hand on John's shoulder: BILL Now tell me, son: how are you holding up under all of this? I know you've seen your share of violence during the war. But back then you had a ship full of seasoned Starfleet officers to back you up. JOHN (smiling) The crew of the Blue Star may not be as sophisticated as your average Starfleet officer- (proud) But they all acted damn bravely if you ask me. Guess it shows you don’t have to be part of Starfleet to make a difference in this galaxy. Bill smiles again, realizing his strategy is bearing fruit: John seems to be feeling more and more part of the company, leaving his Starfleet life behind him. As he pads John on the back: BILL Come. Let's see your mother. John gets up from his chair. As they both walk to the door: INT. KENDRICK'S PALACE - STAR GALLERY MOA sits on one of the three BENCHES, looking out through the WINDOWS at the magnificent STAR FIELD in front of her. As she brings a GLASS OF WHISKEY to her lips, we see a SET OF LEGS walking up to her. As this PERSON sits down next to her, we see it is NATALIE Kendrick. 6 NATALIE The Bolian girl told me I could find you here. MOA (to herself) And why I'm not surprised? (smiles) She's too loose-lipped you know. You can trust Tolena with your life. Secrets on the other hand. Not so much. NATALIE I've read the reports on the Orions and the Kalari. It's just terrible what happened out there.

    Triskelions, Some of Whom Still Refer to Their Dialect

    STAR TREK ROLEPLAYING GAME sharing the culture of Triskelion. And the Triskelion SPECIES PROFILE “Thralls” are one of the most widely diverse species in the known galaxy as a result of their auspicious origins. Nowhere else can one encounter a being who is part SPECIES NAME: TRISKELION Human, part Orion, and part Kazon. VISUAL REPRESENTATION CULTURE Prior to the involvement of Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise in the 23rd century, Triskelion was a culture of slavery, gambling, gladiatorial combat, and oppression as the Providers abducted people from their homeworlds, forced them into arena-combat, and wagered on, bought, and sold the winners and losers using a type of currency called quatloos. The Federation starship USS Enterprise under command of Captain James T. Kirk was obligated to visit the planet to secure the release of several crew kidnapped by the Providers. Upon arrival, the Enterprise discovered numerous species enslaved on the surface as thralls, including their missing crew. Eventually, to free the thralls, Kirk entered into open combat against three drill thralls, betting not quatloos on his victory, but the condition of freedom for all if he was victorious, or enslavement of the Enterprise crew if he lost. He won, and the Enterprise left the system shortly afterward. Shahna – an Orion-Human Triskelion Thrall Another condition of the wager was that the Providers would educate the remaining thralls and allow the SPECIES ADJUSTMENTS development of a free society on the planet. +2 Vitality, -1 Intellect, -1 Presence As a result, the Thralls did develop a very independent society. And yet the roots of how their culture began were PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION always held in a type of esteem.

Written by: Jon Van Pelt Edited by: Bart Vandezande Lieutenant Reed crawled through a narrow access tube as he held a phase pistol in his right hand, seemingly holding on to it for dear life. Beads of sweat covered his forehead. He had just managed to escape from his quarters without being detected and had reached the armory to get his hand on a phase pistol to protect himself. It had been only three hours ago when Enterprise was studying a nebula, unaware of the fact that three Orion raiders were lurking inside the nebula, ready to attack. Ship and crew didn’t stand much of a chance. The polarized hull plating fell off-line after being exposed to ten minutes of intense weapon’s fire. After that it didn’t take long before the Orions sent their shuttles, attaching themselves to Enterprise as leaches onto a dead body. Although Reed and his security team had put up a good fight against the Orion intruders, they were quickly outnumbered and outgunned. The ship’s corridors were littered with corpses of Enterprise’s crew. How many? Reed couldn’t say for sure. He counted a dozen bodies as the Orion pirates escorted him to his quarters where they thought they locked him up safe and secure. He guessed most likely half of the crew died during the attack. It could be less. Or maybe even more.
  • Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space”

    Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space”

    Creating “Star Trek CATAN – Federation Space” After Star Trek Catan was so well received, and as many of you asked us to take this joint venture of the two franchises Catan and Star Trek even further towards the “Final Frontier,” we thought long and hard about what kind of game expansion you would enjoy. As we knew that a lot of players liked our Catan Geographies™ maps so much, which take the whole Settlers of Catan experience towards a real map to put settlements in, we thought: Let us take Star Trek Catan into a “real” region of space to put our little NCC-1701 spaceships in. The crucial question was: Is there a region of space sufficiently “real” inside the Star Trek – The Original Series time period? After a bit of research, we discovered this wonderful map titled “The Explored Galaxy” over at the Memory Alpha wiki. As it turned out, this was “as real as it could get,” as it had been first shown hanging on a wall in none other than Captain James T. Kirk’s quarters in the Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country motion picture (and subsequently in various episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation). Every true Star Trek fan knows that this particular map depicts a lot of the known and beloved locations shown in The Original Series of the 60s, and some of those from The Animated Series of the 70s. We took great effort to investigate and cross-reference all these depicted celestial bodies with their respective episodes. © CATAN GmbH - Page 1 We then added a couple of planets that were not actually shown on this map but that we would really want to have in our game, and tried to pinpoint their locations according to mostly in-canon and sometimes semi-canon sources.

MICHAEL IMPERIOLI: My dad busts his ass driving long shifts and commuting. So he’s not home much. Growing up, we watch Dog Day Afternoon together so many times I lose count. It’s him at his happiest. One day, when I was about 13, after dad’s been driving his bus in the Bronx, he bursts in the front door, out-of-his-mind excited. “I might be in a movie! Or at least my bus might be!” Turns out, he sees a movie getting shot on his route, it’s a movie called Fort Apache, The Bronx starring Paul Newman. And he drives by the actual camera. Maybe they can see his bus, too. That night, there’s this lightness in him, this energy. Not long after, he tries out for his first community theater production. And he gets in. It’s a courtroom drama, and he plays the court clerk. There are a lot of nights when he gets home from a 12-hour shift, changes out of his uniform, and heads right back out to rehearsal. I am very proud watching him. Amazed at his courage. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t stand in my way on that breezy and sunny September day. ROHAN GUNATILLAKE: Martin Scorcese’s Goodfellas is one of my all-time favorite films. And if I’m being honest I was probably a bit too young when I first watched it, but hey whatcha gonna do? So I’m pretty excited that today’s story is from Michael Imperioli who in his 20s played the ill-fated Spider.

    Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations: Portraits of Individuals with Disabilities in Star Trek

    Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations: Portraits of Individuals With Disabilities in Star Trek Terry L. Shepherd An Article Published in TEACHING Exceptional Children Plus Volume 3, Issue 6, July 2007 Copyright © 2007 by the author. This work is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution License. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations: Portraits of Individuals With Disabilities in Star Trek Terry L. Shepherd Abstract Weekly television series have more influence on American society than any other form of media, and with many of these series available on DVDs, television series are readily ac- cessible to most consumers. Studying television series provides a unique perspective on society’s view of individuals with disabilities and influences how teachers and peers view students with disabilities. Special education teachers can use select episodes to differenti- ate between the fact and fiction of portrayed individuals with disabilities with their stu- dents, and discuss acceptance of peers with disabilities. With its philosophy of infinite diversity in infinite combinations, Star Trek has portrayed a number of persons with dis- abilities over the last forty years. Examples of select episodes and implications for special education teachers for using Star Trek for instructional purposes through guided viewing are discussed.
