[@MM22966]

Remember how the re-appearance of the Romulans was presented in the early seasons of TNG; they'd gone completely isolationist for decades, and while this border war was still going on. I imagine it was one thing among many that contributed to the Federation's general slackness in military skills, such as interrogation resistance.

Rpg material from Last Unicorn Games will be factored in (where it fits best, that is) and the main character will be O'Brien, with cameo appearances from others, like Riker, maybe Janeway and Chakotay - and other notaries like Maxwell and Jellico, over time. It's, well, fairly ambitious.

[@cadengrace5466]

The best ship in the Cardassian Fleet is slightly less powerful than the Excelsior class. The Miranda, while presented as the Red Shirt of the fleet is actually more than a capable starship for combat and much of the Cardassian Fleet is comprised of many smaller classes that the Miranda can handle. The Ambassador class was a monster to the Cardassians. Many other ships that came about in this era are also far more powerful than anything in the orders of battle for the Cardassians. This was a border war because of internal conflict in the Federation that was feeling the 22nd and 23rd century version WOKE at the time.

[@mctanuki]

i know it's an old video, but i thought you might be interested to know that irl, there is no such thing as "resistance to torture" and state agencies did away with such notions about a hundred years ago. what people entrusted with intelligence are taught to do is, if captured, immediately give all information they know in hopes of release or prevention of torture. this is much easier to plan for, as an organization, as you simply compartmentalize information, each individual only knowing what they need to, and when they're captured, you assume your enemy has that intelligence now what can be taught are coping mechanisms for torture, and i imagine any Star Fleet training would be more along those lines, especially when dealing with Cardassians we have, tho, seen mental techniques for resisting psychic interrogation, and i think that's a really cool idea. how DO you hide information from someone who is experiencing your thoughts in realtime just as you are?? i imagine it's like giving yourself dissociative identity disorder on purpose or some kind of wacky shenanigans like that

[@vallettapetracyneran8587]

Cardassian's Over confidence personified, "Oh yeah lets parade a species known to communicate with the Antenna in front of everyone in live broadcasts so they can communicate!" All that aside while I do not like Nechayev as a person I have to admit she is a good strategist. She really needs to work on her people skills. She gained a good victory and made a name for herself there. But then we discover the true nasty side of such a war...what happens when the civilians get involved.

[@kdrapertrucker]

This was based on an incident during the Vietnam war, where the North Vietnamese tortured captured U.S. aircrew and forced them to give scripted "confessions" which were released to the world press.

[@stephendoherty8291]

The "failure" of the United Federation of Planets was the assumption on earth that peace in an endless galaxy (and universe) was preferable to war and any powerplay politics would be mollified. Peace was presumed as the default when jealousy of its growth and membership was a burning issue among competitors who saw war as the fastest way of expanding and gaining others assets. Each time a war finished, Starfleet presumed it was the end (or at least agree to disagree) when others just saw it as a rearming time. While starfleet would often win in the end, the cost of this failure was massive and that loss of progress was seen only in hindsight. Trade wealth was seen as too slow to achieve political ambitions. Starfleet and the federation seemed oblivious to this flaw in the federation plan. It is likely that Earth never recovered from its nuclear war damage to its self image of being attracted to war and yet even the Vulcans had an armed force when war was also a historic flaw.

There's no way that the Klingon empire wouldn't of entered the war on the side of the federation and won this war. The t.v. show needed it to be a stalemate

[@venomgeekmedia9886]

true but two bits of context: Klingon-federation relations were not particularly strong the empire still had many pro-romulan elements; and the klingon fleet was far from the force we see later in DS9 at this point its much more of a territorial force.

[@spartacusthebringerofrain3007]

I had forgotten about the pro romulan Duras loyal house. That's true! I'm a Ds9 Klingon empire guy mostly

[@MM22966]

I'd add that based on things we saw in TNG, the Klingons were probably heavily divided and focused on internal squabbles at this point. And this was a comparatively small war.

And the Dominion and far worse... the BORG would eliminate this 'rivalry' and join the organic vs the cybernetic in a challenge for life itself. How to stop this fight between these two rival powers?..... "WE ARE BORG..."

If this is an alternate universe, then i can easily get behind the story. However at 7:50 we are told that Jean Luc Picard is in command of the USS Stargazer. According to canon history Lt. Picard was only ever in charge of Stargazer at the Battle of Maxia in 2355, where the ship was lost. And before anyone says it, no if the ship is at her duty station (patrolling or picket duty along the Cardie Border) it would still have it's Captain or 1st Officer in command. Celebrations for Federation Day would have been held on board (as it would have been at least a few light years from the nearest outpost). So, is it the Prime Universe ?

[@venomgeekmedia9886]

It is prime universe. Picard took command of the stargazer when the captain was killed. However its implied to be a earlier incident. Picard commanded the stargazer for many years before maxia

@@venomgeekmedia9886 My apologies, yes he was Captain of Stargazer for 22 years PRIOR to 2355. My info was NOT canon. Just as a side note that's a LONG time to command a ship.
