So, have at it.

I'd ask if it was bigger than Frank's ego, but nothing's bigger than that...

Does it appear specifically in the TOS era?

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Well, honestly, I don't know what episodes actually showed the SSA in and of itself. However, there have been more than three episodes in which you could see something which allowed you to surmise that the SSA was there, if not physically visible on screen. So long as you undertsand this, I'm saying "yes".

If by "specifically" you mean "only", the answer to the TOS question is "no".

Is the SSA a planet/moon/huge rock thing/etc.?

You mean, in the words of Spock, "a great rock in space"? No.

Is it, rather than an object, something made up of smaller, independent components?

Is it controlled by the Federation or Starfleet?

Though I actually guess the Murasaki Quasar.

Well, TSN told me that I won, but I feel bad about winning when I asked almost all the questions in this contest. I still want to go again, though.
