Star Trek: the future is kinda sorta utopian. Like it’s now Mostly Not Bad and people are Usually Good

Me, gleefully making ocs: so this is a whole multi-planetary faction of primarily clone cyborgs who are just warhammer 40k for cowards (read: the cover of a metal album but a whole society) and this is a planet of human colonists that got shunted back in time and way across space who’ve devolved into mad max shit and these two are mistreated orphans who become best friends and basically run a criminal organization just out of reach of the primary political powers and this—

#star trek hell #I’m sorry I have the edgelord gene I can’t help it #but also LOVE taking people who GENUINELY CARE ABOUT ETHICS like Picard Kirk spock etc and Subjecting Them to Situations #like yeah murder is Bad but what if you’re in a hyper lawless place and it’s the only way to keep safe or build order?#can you stand by the prime directive if you’re looking at Planet Mad Max and seeing how HORRIFIC it is?#the federation pisses itself over shit like genetic augmentation so how about a whole race of genetically enhanced cyborgs built as an army?#who have now taken total control of the area the ppl who made them were fighting over and are basically their own species now #and WANT to engage with the federation peacefully as they try to shift to like reterraforming their devastated planets?#like they’re basically the borg but with personal autonomy and all these things and gross out the feds are normal to them #and also they’re imperium of man inspired so like… do we really wanna piss off the cybermen #with war ships like 10 times the size of our biggest ship?????#like idk I’m always prone to increasing the grimdark content even when it’s not that kinda show (especially then)#but also I love challenging ppl who get all philosophical about shit to like stick to those beliefs when confronted with Real Yikesy Freaks
