    That road goes to the old Orbital Sciences offices in Northern VA (they were bought but Northrop Grumman in the 2010s, though the offices are still there I believe). I’ve driven by that sign many many times and always enjoy it.

    I believe that’s where Orbital ATK’s headquarters were located before Northrop Grumman bought them out

    That road must’ve been deliberately named with this is mind, surely

      Others have said it’s a company that does space-related stuff, so apparently it was intentional. I never heard of it before.

    If the interior of the Discovery was built by Americans, it would probably have a 10 mile freeway to Engineering.

      Thankfully, it was officially built by Starfleet, but technically built by Canadians.

        … so an extremely long lonely roadway into the wilderness with the chance of encountering wild animals to get to the next town.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
