Hello Bluesky universe and beyond! I'm Jordan, the owner of the official Bluesky account for the Rochellan Commonwealth. IRL, I am a long-time science fiction fan from the classics to modern sci-fi. My primary loves are Trek, Star Wars, B5, BSG and many others. Hope to talk to you all soon!

Resistance Is Never Futile.

#TrekkiesAgainstFascism

star trek inspired illustration of 4 hands holding up a picket sign. the hands are wearing the colorful uniforms of the Star Trek The Next Generation crew. The sign says "Together We Resist." to the left is the Borg insignia, crossed out. sitting atop the "T" in "resist" is a drawing of a crown that is crossed out. At the bottom right of the image, the white text says "Trekkies Against Fascism."

Mimas, Epimetheus and Rings - From Gordan Ugarković (ugordan.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/5oPunj

Mimas and Epimetheus captured along the main rings. This natural color narrow-angle image shows just how much darker the unlit side of the rings is compared to icy moons.

Star Trek Corrupted Captions @startrekcc.bsky.social · 5h

School can be a tough time.
#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekDS9

Top left panel: Chief O'Brien is filling in as teacher for Keiko on DS9. He's standing at the front of the classroom, looking stern. His caption reads, "Nog, if I gave you a bar of latinum and your father gave you a bar of latinum, how many bars of latinum would you have?"

Top right panel: Nog is seated at a desk. Behind him, a handful of other students can be seen including Jake Sisko. Nog looks at the Chief and answers, "One bar."

Bottom left panel: Chief O'Brien chides, "You don't know your arithmetic."

Bottom right panel: Nog smiles as he replies, "You don't know my father."

My head canon is that they were using forced quantum singularities at least as early as the Bird of Prey in Balance of Terror. Scotty said they had only simple impulse, but I think he just assumed it was fusion when he didn't detect the signs of a Matter/Antimatter reactor

Arp Bot 🤖 @arpbot.bsky.social · 55m

Image of Arp 4, from Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966).

In the original catalog it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Low surface brightness. The larger irregular galaxy is Arp 4, and the smaller spiral galaxy is PGC 6629.
Source

A grainy, black and white image of two galaxies. The lower galaxy is large and faint. It has a central bar and a loose, patchy ring of star clusters. The top galaxy is smaller and brighter. It has two spiral arms, which spiral clockwise from a bright central point. The galaxy looks overexposed, so it is hard to see many details. Many white dots, which are stars, are seen on the black background.

thinking about this again… ✨

A tall, thin structure of dark gas clouds. This pillar is darker and broader at its base, thins toward the middle, and broadens out again at the top, with spikes, fingers, and wisps of gas protruding in all directions from its head. Some parts of the pillar are illuminated, but most are dark and silhouetted at the edges and lit from behind. A wall of colorful gas lies behind the pillar, bluish at the top and redder toward the bottom, with several blue and gold stars scattered across it.

Still no release date for Exodus, the ambitious heir to Mass Effect, but a new key art and screenshots!

Also, you can now wishlist this sci-fi game across PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic.
