So I just had to save my dad’s Star Trek Online ship cos he somehow managed to warp into a giant borg cluster-scootlypoop with all of his weapons offline.
It was rather harrowing.
Also, this is the first time I’ve used scootlypoop as a euphemism. I quite like it.
Tiny sketchdump time. Featuring fancy!Torek, The Klingon Called Qpla, Thel with hair, a couple of female officers, some creature with hitler-moustache, Tekir’s fluffy hair and Torek fanboy called Pozap. I’m going to colour that one with Pozap and Torek just for the lulz.
Goddamn Andorians! /shakefist

Academy Career:
Kirdgoop excelled at the Academy and graduated with honours. He had few friends as his reflective eyes often unnerved his fellow cadets. He graduated with honours. His friends were a few of the Aenor cadets, who due to their telepathic abilities, were not put off at Kirdgoop’s quietness which would amount to silences for days at a time.
Family Life:
Kirdgoop has revealed little about his family and childhood, though he likely was raised communally, like most others on his planet. The Kirhemed chose him to be a part of the exchange as he does not mind being on his own as well as having proven his skill as a defender on multiple occasions
Starfleet Career:
Kirdgoop has excelled in his career with Starfleet though he does best around people who are telepathic. While serving on the Enterprise-E he received two commendations from Captain Data for outstanding performance. Upon being assigned to the Sappho-C he was appointed Chief of Security and enjoys a good relationship with Captain Dedetztre (a Betazoid with telepathic abilities).
** A note on the Kirhemed:
Very little is known about this species. Individuals are intensely private and while being exceedingly hospitable to all Federation delegates they rarely share any personal details. This culture seems to be based around communal living. They are a warp capable society but most prefer to stay on planet. They engage in some short distance trade. While under the Romulan Star Empire they would often be taken advantage of by the Romulans as they have a custom where they must give anything requested by a visitor to their planet.
Gender:
The Kirhemed appear to have a system of 5 distinct genders: kirex, kireb, kir, kibri. and kibra. These genders function on a sliding scale between ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’. Each gender has a specific function in the community. The kirex are warriors, though they never attack, only defend, mostly from the warriguls, jackal mastiffs and sehlats found in various areas of the planet. The kireb are farmers. The kir are shamans, often entering trances to contact the spirit world, which the Kit named belline controls all things. They also work as healers and record keepers. The kibri are in charge of industry on the planet, producing everything from clothing to medicine to the few pieces of advanced technology produced on Kappa Prime. The last group, the kibra, mind the children and cook food for everyone. All on the planet, regardless of gender, have an advanced intellect. To quote on of the FDC delegates the Kirhemed are ”a Vulcan mind infused with the honour system of a Klingon, tied with a bow of the intense spiritualism of the Bajorans”.
Language:
Most of the Kirhemed language is unpronounceable to outsiders. This is because of a structure of tonal tubing running through the horns of the Kirhemed which produces a resonance that is unique. All names of Kirhemeds and the name of their race have been transcribed as near to the actual name as possible.
Lifespan:
Average age at death of a Kirhemed is 206 according to the records kept by the kir.
Because when it concerns hand-to-hand combat, there’s no one more qualified than the Tactical Exocomp. Which has no limbs.
Star Trek Online.
Is actually really fun. It manages to capture the awesome from the TV series without making it too cutscene-based. Space combat is amazing too.
