Author Topic: TOS Federation members Gvsualan Perpetual Member Member # 968 posted                       ...two for tuesday double post... -------------------- Hey, it only took 13 years for me to figure out my password... Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged Gvsualan Perpetual Member Member # 968 posted                       Fleet Captain Garth was a human and it was never explained where the Izar became incorporated into the story (according to the Encyclopedia). He was badly injured and was able to recover with help of the inhabitants of Antos IV who also taugh him the art of cellular metamorphosis. None the less, he was still human, a mentally insane one for that matter, so I'm not sure how the impression that Izar is a Federation world. For that matter it could easily be a colony or another case similar to the "Zephram Cochrane of Alpha Centari" who wasnt/isnt from Alpha Centari. -------------------- Hey, it only took 13 years for me to figure out my password...

I may have that completely wrong or it was from a fan source or something but it makes as much sense as anything. Registered: Feb 2002  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       Garth of Izar is famous for the Battle of/at Axanar (I forget which). Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Wraith Zen Riot Activist Member # 779 posted                       Ah, yeah, that was it. Registered: Feb 2002  |  IP: Logged TSN I'm... from Earth. Member # 31 posted                       Well, if he's human, and he's "of Izar", the easiest presumption is that there's a Terran colony in orbit of Epsilon Boötis. Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Gvsualan Perpetual Member Member # 968 posted                       Ah yes, the infamous "booty planet"! Its just identified as "the historic victory at Axanar in the 2250's that helped preserve the Federation"... -------------------- Hey, it only took 13 years for me to figure out my password... Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       Aha, right. There was also some allusions to the fact that the winning of this battle enabled Kirk and Spock to be in the same service on the same ship working together. I think fandom has a big story on this, something about Axanar and the Vulcans threatening to secede from the UFP or something. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Gvsualan Perpetual Member Member # 968 posted                       Yeah that episode ("Whom Gods Destroy") really screwed with things by introducing a lot of unexplained events and left a lot of BIG unanswered questions. 1) The above incident that Topher mentioned. 2) The ultimate bunker buster...the incident at Tau Ceti where the Enterprise used the "Cochrane deceleration maneuver" to defeat the Romulans. Which the encyclopedia suggests might be the incident in "Balance of Terror", if so then this may explain how far Earth is from the Neutral Zone as Tau Ceti is 8 l/y (!!!) from Earth. -------------------- Hey, it only took 13 years for me to figure out my password... Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged AndrewR Resident Nut-cache Member # 44 posted                       I thought we had a big ole thread here a while back where we worked out that Zephram Cochrane could easily be from Alpha Centauri? Basically - pre-warp ships were around before 2063 and a few colonies had been set up - or maybe just Alpha Centauri... Cochrane was caught on Earth when WWIII approached. There maybe have been the beginnings of Mars colonies - but I think that was later wasn't it? How would Zee have made money from a Warp Drive? Quicker times between Earth and it's colony(ies)! -------------------- "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica." - Jim Halpert.

There are indeed several planets peopled by humans. They were transplanted by 'The Preservers'. This probably explains Miri's Planet, Bread & Circuses, etc. It does not explain species which look a lot like us but have extraordinary capabilities. Such as Plato's Stepchildren. -------------------- 'One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.' - Lazarus Long Registered: Feb 2001  |  IP: Logged Sol System two dollar pistol Member # 30 posted                       Though in that specific instant the magic powers were caused by a compound found on the planet, and wasn't something the people were born with. Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Sol System two dollar pistol Member # 30 posted                       Come to think of it, Miri's planet was a complete duplicate of Earth, so I doubt that humans got there simply by aliens having scooped up some out of the way village one night. Some serious engineering was involved there. Though Spock seemed to think it was perfectly natural.
