Dear Lemmy, **why** Star Trek??
Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.
Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.
So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

Ok but what is star trek
Exactly, I have never seen anyone actually talk about it except here
A show about the future where society has overcome economics and most prejudice in which everyone can pursue their passion. Most shows depict the people passionate about space exploration and diplomacy.
60 years worth of shows, novels, books, games, and movies. The original series follows the USS enterprise, flagship of the United federation of planets, as it explores new worlds. Most episodes are self-contained, where they face off against some threat or mystery on the planets they visit. The sequel series star trek: the next generation follows a later enterpise from 200 years after the first one, with roughly the same formula for episodes. There's also Deep Space Nine, centering on a space station near the newly liberated planet Bajor and a newly discovered wormhole to the distant gamma quadrant of the galaxy. This series focuses on many episodic adventures like before, mostly from visitors to the station bringing some curiosity or scheme, but it also has longer plot lines focusing on diplomacy and peace keeping, ultimately leading to the dominion war, a battle for control of the alpha quadrant with the most powerful force in the gamma quadrant, the dominion. Voyager is another sequel, following the star ship voyager after a powerful alien sends it to the unknown delta quadrant, and they have to survive and find a way home so far from everything they know. Enterprise is set well before the original series, and follows the early years of the Federation through it's first flagship. There's also discovery and strange new worlds, set shortly before the original series.
