To add an interesting fact: Starfleet has been known in in the canon to accept people into become officers from other similar level organizations such as the Daystrom Institute. Perhaps if the Templin Institute was to exist well into the 22nd-24th centuries and beyond in one or more of the many Star Trek timelines, it may also have high enough prerequisites.

“Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end”. - Spock Probably one of my favourite quotes from Star Trek’s vast multitude of characters, species and factions!
Starfleet probably is one of the most unique factions in all scifi. Few seem to be able to pull off their success while maintaining such ideals. But its probably because of another policy, they tend to speak softly while carrying a big stick. And if that stick isn't enough, they make a bigger one (sometimes on the fly).
Sterfleet is able to pull off their success because the script decides so. Sure, Star Trek is a monumental and legendary part of sci-fi, but not very realistic. Realism of course doesn't determine popularity, if it did, The Expanse or Mass Effect would be more popular.
@@ArghastOfTheAlliance I would be willing to argue that Star Trek is one of the more realistic scifi shows out there. Now, I've never seen expanse nor played Mass Effect, my knowledge is limited to to the occasional web episode on them. However, the second version of Battlestar is often cited as being realistic, and I don't think so. But just because starfleet isn't always against the ropes, or the people aren't always at each other's throats doesn't mean its not realistic.
"It's easier to be soldier in a flower garden than being agardener in a warzone" or something to that extend. Or to put it more lenghtly: "What does it need to create a country? - Nothing. Take, for example, some kids that build a Fortress in the woods and claim its their own Nation. At that moment you see the birth of a new nation. Of course the adults wont put up with it and eventually kick it down. So you need to protect that nation... and for that, you need power."
I can't remember which book it was, but it was part of William Shatner's preserver series, and he had a quote about Vulcans regarding Starfleet that went something like "The Vulcans could appreciate the logic of Starfleet's seemingly contradictory policy of peaceful exploration conducted through the use of heavily armed starships."
I got chills listening to this. Gene Roddenberry had problems as a writer and a person (who doesn't?) but his one, singular vision of a future that was diverse, peaceful (at least in its aspirations) and dedicated to knowledge is a legacy that continues to inspire millions.
"Tell me, what makes the Federation powerful?" "General. It is their vast natural resources, their industrial capacity, and the skills of their science." "Good. Why? Ah! It is their political acumen. The Federation has knitted together and assimilated numerous races. This union was not brought together by natural means, by conquest. But rather by diplomacy!" --- General Cha'ng, Star Trek: Klingon Academy
During the 4 Years War, the Federation fleet bedeviled the Klingons. They never knew what species was manning the center chair in the starships they took on. Each starship captain had their own mentality of space combat, making for different tactics and policies. Starfleet made things worse for them when the ARIES class came online and really started to mix things up.
My favorite space-age series. One where mankind gets it right and can typically win without fighting, proving the carrot is mightier than the stick. I'll admit, my primary Stellaris race 'The Sapian Republic' is based off them. I've won games without picking a fight with anyone!!
The problem with the Federation is when it can't accept that not every government is trustworthy. Throughout TNG and DS9 there were tons of cases of Cardassia either blatantly violating the peace or strong evidence they were doing so covertly and Starfleet just let them off with warnings.
Carrot OR the stick, you are thinking of the pen is mightier than the sword... The phrase you are referring to describes a situation in which there is a benefit "carrot" and a punishment "stick", the two are meant to work together to increase the difference between cooperation and resistance ie one is nothing without the other so comparing the two in efficacy is literally meaningless. Starfleet believes in holding up its ideals and only punishes those who attempt to threaten it directly, ie the pen being mightier than the sword in the long term.

This is one of the most brilliant and beautiful tributes to Star Trek I have seen in a long time. When so many commentators choose to look at Starfleet and Star Trek cynically this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Starfleet and the Federation as a whole can be summed up in three sentences that have become as legendary as the actors that spoke them and the characters they played: "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." Spock's version from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan But my favorite of all the quotes from Star Trek: "I'm a doctor, not a door stop." spoken by the EMH in First Contact
This is one of the most detailed, and by far, the most engenious presentation of Starfleet rules and history that I have ever seen. Applause to those that created this wonderful video.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Starfleet Engineer. Failing that, I became an RCN Engineer. Seriously, how many of us saw Scotty and Geordi and said, "I wanna be that dude".
The Andorian Imperial Guard and Vulcan High Command or Vulcan Expeditionary group were not folded into Starfleet as both members kept those services. It is just that among the military and exploritary services of the founding members Starfleet was federalized. The Bajoran Militia was to be absorbed to Starfleet if Bajor joined the Federation. In a future timeline in the 26th century the Klingons were part of the Federation had their own ships participate during the Battle of Procyon V against the Sphere Builders. So it seems to be on a case to case basis.
the founder members did not always contribute the same to the Federation. Vulcans for instance did not join Starfleet itself during the TOS era, with Spock being one of the rare exceptions during his time, followed by Saavik and Valeris. In fact the first time two Vulcans were seen serving on the same ship was all the way in Voyager-not counting the all-Vulcan crew Sisko hosted at DS9. No Vulcan is recorded as being President of the Federation, either. One would think each member world still had its government, and thus the Imperial Guard and the High Command would be still around, and Vulcan/Andorian ships would still be a thing.
@@SantomPh The Intrepid during TOS was an all Vulcan crew though I suspect they are graduates of the Vulcan Science Academy. Both Discovery and Lower Decks imply one can apply for commission on Starfleet by being accredited by the Vulcan Science Academy/High Command. The bad blood between Spock and Sarek was that the former chose Starfleet Academy over the Vulcan Science Academy. Star Trek 2009 and Discovery gives context the Vulcan academia has racist shitbags. Thus understandable won't join a hostile environment. He had his fill of such idiots when he was a kid.
@@reddyredwolf3931it makes sense that starships would be used by the Vulcan high command as well, so the intrepid could be non starfleet in ToS. We know the high command was still doing their own thing, so having them use federation starships, no doubt far more advanced than any current Vulcan ship, just makes sense

There is already the New Horizon Mods, allowing you to not only play a Stellaris verison of Star Trek, but also form the Federation. Though I think the game lost it's appeal after they turned it into a micromanagement horror.
@@acendantoverlord5737 Some undisclosed behind the scenes drama between Mark and Larissa most likely. She never gave us a proper goodbye, and their Instagram account was cleared out.
To this day I remain convinced that Starfleet's greatest achievement was holding the line in the Dominion War when a significant portion (if not a majority) of their fleet was made up of outdated science vessels and, later on, the same science vessels hastily retrofitted to current standards and with as many weapons as they could power taped on. I know they had a lot of help, I know they had some far more combat worthy vessels and I know they ultimately would have lost anyway had it not been for other stuff which happened over the course of DS9, but when you consider what they had to work with at the start of the war, the fact that it was anything other than the Dominion cutting a swathe through Federation territory whenever they felt like it was damn impressive.
McBobbish yeah we better 'stamp' it out, after all they are totally a 'rogue' branch, they have totally have nothing to deal with the federation. After all the federation is all about cooperation, totally nothing to deal with insidious underhanded tactics at all...at least that's what we need everyone to believe...
Did the Templin Institute get a HD remaster of DS9? Those were some amazingly crisp shots of Operation Return? Anyway keep up the awesome work. You guys never ceases to amaze me
@@avengermkii7872 @AvengerMKII its actually very difficult to remaster, Voyager as well, as both shows were actually shot on tape rather than Film, this was done to cut costs and let's be honest 480i was the best resolution at that point in time and worked good enough for the TV's of the era, the problem with tape is that you cannot upscale its resolution, while actual film masters (depending on the quality of the film itself) can actually be rendered in 4K, TOS and TNG were actually shot in film because Gene Roddenberry always thought film was the better quality and both DS9 and VOY were made after his passing, that's why if you watch any star trek in Netflix or other digital platform TOS and TNG are always going to look better even though they are actually the older shows (noticed I left ENT out as that was shot in digital)
This was so beautiful, Makes me cry Me encanta Star Trek y su mensaje de esperanza para el futuro y la tecnología, de la idea de que el entendimiento y la paz son el camino para llegar mucho más halla de lo que nuestros sueños más salvajes son capaces de idear. Me inspira a mí a hacer mi propia historia, a explorar el futuro y darle a otras personas la misma esperanza que Star Trek me dio a mi. Gracias, larga vida y prosperidad.
I'm currently binge watching The next generation, when it first aired I was to young to appreciate the complexity and the depth of the various situations displayed in the series, but now I can see how rich it is.
Even though this may be the last episode I'll ever see I feel proud being a part of this glorious community, keep calm and Carry on best wishes from the American commissary it
Non-Comissioned Officers (Enlisted personnel) such as Chief O'Brien and Simon Tarses do not attend Starfleet Academy. Much like the naval academies of modern earth, Starfleet Academy is only for the training of future Commissioned Officers.
@@TheLAGopher Appartently there's also a "Prior Academic Qualification' track as well. Where if you have an engineering or sciences degree/masters, you can skip the Academy, do enlisted basic training, and get a commission of Ensign/Lieutenant JG respectively.
Simon Tarses did go to Starfleet academy though. He said he did the Academy's training program for enlisted personnel. And he even recounted to Picard how he used to sit under a tree with a circular bench and Jean Luc recalled sitting under the same tree to study.
@@Gankhisprawn My apologies I stand corrected. I only remembered his rank of Crewman, and that in "Drumhead" he mentioned the academy but not wanting to wait four years to graduate and be posted.

By far my favorite video you guys have done! Star Trek is by far my favorite Sci Fi series. Unlike other Sci-fi franchises, Star Trek is the only one that shows a future for humanity that says we can be better than we are now. There are still some problems and conflicts, but instead of shooting first, we can try to use diplomacy and think of solutions first before resorting to violence.
Phew...this was a godsend. I'm writing a crossover fanfiction between several sci fi universes and I needed a crash course in Star Trek. Thank you for your service!
A really excellent episode. However Starfleet command refers to starfleet headquarters in San Fransisco & the organization is known as Starfleet. "Let's make sure history never forgets the name.....Enterprise"
Nearly too late did Starfleet, and the Federation as a whole, realize a core tenant of idealism: in order to make your ideals a reality, you need power to back them up and help enforce their creation/stability. An idealist without power is an inventor without tools: useless and impotent. Now that Starfleet has beefed up their weapons and shields, they actually stand a chance of creating lasting peace in the galaxy...as long as the Borg don't muck everything up again.
Space The final Frontier, these are their voyages of the starship Enterprise. It continuing mission to seek out new life and civilization. To bodly go where no one has gone before. _ Captain Picard, Kirk, Archer.
Kirk's version has "five year mission" and "no Man has gone before" The latter of which is eventually mentioned (by Klingons I think) to be racist. Picard's version promptly altered the line going "To boldly go where no one has gone before!"
I've been waiting for ages for this video. I love these Templin Institute videos & Star Trek is my favourite scifi franchise. Keep up the good work Templins.
@Chris George If you look at the way that native populations have been treated on this planet, the prime directive makes perfect sense. I would however, say that the threshold for contact should be lowered.

STD isn't part of this time line, they are separate from this, also why they don't look alike. Though they tried too fool people by calling STD timeline for Prime timeline, as a name instead of indication. Legally they can't be in the same timeline if the deal is to be believed. Not sure about the new Picard series though.

Probably my first comment on the channel, but i have to say it, along with the Imperium of Man, the system alliance and UNSC, it one of your very best video
There is a darker reason for _multi species crews_ - it's to encourage humans to live up to their ideals and not, as is often the case amongst humanity, *sink down to the ethics of the lowest common denominator.* Humans don't like to let the side down in front of witnesses, so having "outsiders" shames them into compliance with their professed beliefs, not their hidden urges. Otherwise the subtle unconscious signals and body language amongst humans would allow group think and the leadership of the most ruthless, leading to the exposure of the brutal xenophobic tribalism that still exist as potential in most humans. This can be seen in the behaviour of the crew of the Equinox, which only had human survivors and performed experiments on other sentients to use them as fuel. Still this may not be isolated to just the human psyche, after all the most honourable Klingon who lived up to the ideals of his species was raised by and worked with humans and other species. *It's only under the gaze of others that humanity is really humane.*
@@popitrekker1543 But they wouldn't. The humans of 40k, when faced with a dangerous and diverse universe chose a doctrine of supremacy and purity. The humans of Star Trek chose cooperation and IDIC. Given the differences in the natures of the worlds, I'm not sure any comparison is practical. Star Trek is pretty much based on the idea that humanity has reached a point where. given the opportunity, it would make that choice, with others, and among itself.
A possible (not canon) reason that is 'darker' would be a matter of loyalty. If you kept the crews of ships homogeneous, they would be less loyal to the Federation as a whole as opposed to their own Species homeworld. An all-Andorian ship would be more loyal to Andor than the Federation, for example.
They used to say if man was meant to fly he'd have wings but then someone smarter said "Who cares what were meant to do, what matters is what we decide to do, and if thats to do the impossible see the invisible kick logic to the curb and fly by flapping our arms, thats what we'll do dagnabbit!"
I got a beef with families boarding with starships. According to non-canon Gods of Night, after the loss of ENTERPRISE-D at the battle of Veridian III, Starfleet decided not to populate starships on not only vessels smaller than Explorer class, but all of them. There was just too much at stake. This makes sense in a familial manner. Take the Second World War Navy. The five Sullivan brothers all served onboard light cruiser USS JUNEAU in the Pacific, but all were lost when it was torpedoed. The military adopted family survivor policies that mandated pulling lone family members from front line duty in the case of all the other family members being lost or killed. Starfleet readopted this policy after ENTERPRISE-D was lost.
Discovery season 1 is okay, season 2 is quite garbage for My taste, quite tedious to have THE WHOLE PLOT around one person and abuse of fan "favorites" and retconning
Q orchestrated the Borg, Federation encounter, long before it was supposed to occur. This lead the Federation to militarize, which helped the federation against the Dominion. I think Q knew exactly what he was doing.
Do you have a camera recording my TTRPGs? The captain in my Star Trek campaign literally said in a speech a few months ago "High ideals do not survive the practicalities of space... until they're carried aboard a federation vessel!" lol. Such an inspiring video, thank you.
There is lesson for real life here: High ideals can survive the practicalicies of the universe as long as they are accompanied with intimidating fire power.
@@McCbobbish - Also, there is absolutely nothing fascist over them. At least not unless one's definition of "fascist" is "whatever I don't agree with", in which case one is retarded
According to Star Trek Online, in 2409 Starfleet fought Klingons again then Sabotaged Romulan Tal Shiar, then in 2410 Starfleet faced The Iconians, then Temporal Liberational Front, then Tzenkethi, then Hurq.

As a longtime Doom fan, and with Doom: Eternal just around the corner, I would love to see a video on the Union Aerospace Corporation (U.A.C.) sometime in the future. A lot of the lore surrounding the lead character in the latest iterations is still to be clarified in this next release, so I don't expect anything on that subject, but U.A.C. is fairly consistent in it's lore to this point and a video synopsis would put a smile on my face. I know you folks would do a top-notch job on it as you always do.

"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." Spock's version from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan
But my favorite of all the quotes from Star Trek:
"I'm a doctor, not a door stop." spoken by the EMH in First Contact
"I'm a doctor not a database"
Also:
"Starfleet is a promise. I give my life for you and you give your life for me. And no one gets left behind."
Astalavista Larissa, your fans will cherish this as your last video with the Institute. Godspeed!
What's the word for a feeling of patriotism for a state that exists in a fictional future?
I don't know, but the Germans probably have a cool sounding word for it.
"Loyalty to the GTU" I think.
Existential Chauvinism
Foolishness
I have found myself loyal to a country that doesn't exist anymore: Rhodesia
This is one of the most detailed, and by far, the most engenious presentation of Starfleet rules and history that I have ever seen. Applause to those that created this wonderful video.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Starfleet Engineer. Failing that, I became an RCN Engineer. Seriously, how many of us saw Scotty and Geordi and said, "I wanna be that dude".
Well, from one university alone James Doohan received honorary Ph. D after year after year pools revealed that many students pointed him as motivation
The Andorian Imperial Guard and Vulcan High Command or Vulcan Expeditionary group were not folded into Starfleet as both members kept those services. It is just that among the military and exploritary services of the founding members Starfleet was federalized. The Bajoran Militia was to be absorbed to Starfleet if Bajor joined the Federation. In a future timeline in the 26th century the Klingons were part of the Federation had their own ships participate during the Battle of Procyon V against the Sphere Builders. So it seems to be on a case to case basis.
Probably such planetary establishments are relegated to internal affairs / representative role.
the founder members did not always contribute the same to the Federation. Vulcans for instance did not join Starfleet itself during the TOS era, with Spock being one of the rare exceptions during his time, followed by Saavik and Valeris. In fact the first time two Vulcans were seen serving on the same ship was all the way in Voyager-not counting the all-Vulcan crew Sisko hosted at DS9. No Vulcan is recorded as being President of the Federation, either.
One would think each member world still had its government, and thus the Imperial Guard and the High Command would be still around, and Vulcan/Andorian ships would still be a thing.
@@SantomPh The Intrepid during TOS was an all Vulcan crew though I suspect they are graduates of the Vulcan Science Academy. Both Discovery and Lower Decks imply one can apply for commission on Starfleet by being accredited by the Vulcan Science Academy/High Command. The bad blood between Spock and Sarek was that the former chose Starfleet Academy over the Vulcan Science Academy. Star Trek 2009 and Discovery gives context the Vulcan academia has racist shitbags. Thus understandable won't join a hostile environment. He had his fill of such idiots when he was a kid.
@@reddyredwolf3931it makes sense that starships would be used by the Vulcan high command as well, so the intrepid could be non starfleet in ToS. We know the high command was still doing their own thing, so having them use federation starships, no doubt far more advanced than any current Vulcan ship, just makes sense
I like to believe that members of the Imperium wake up screaming after having dreams about the Federation.
"He who suffers the alien to live shares its crime of existence."
Horus would have started a Heresy without Chaos if he dreamt of this.
"history has shown that rarely do high ideals survive the practicalities of the universe" WH40K basically.

@@syaondri considering it was behind the scenes drama that seemed personal in nature ive heard it speculated that it was a bad break up
To this day I remain convinced that Starfleet's greatest achievement was holding the line in the Dominion War when a significant portion (if not a majority) of their fleet was made up of outdated science vessels and, later on, the same science vessels hastily retrofitted to current standards and with as many weapons as they could power taped on.
I know they had a lot of help, I know they had some far more combat worthy vessels and I know they ultimately would have lost anyway had it not been for other stuff which happened over the course of DS9, but when you consider what they had to work with at the start of the war, the fact that it was anything other than the Dominion cutting a swathe through Federation territory whenever they felt like it was damn impressive.

@@avengermkii7872 @AvengerMKII its actually very difficult to remaster, Voyager as well, as both shows were actually shot on tape rather than Film, this was done to cut costs and let's be honest 480i was the best resolution at that point in time and worked good enough for the TV's of the era, the problem with tape is that you cannot upscale its resolution, while actual film masters (depending on the quality of the film itself) can actually be rendered in 4K, TOS and TNG were actually shot in film because Gene Roddenberry always thought film was the better quality and both DS9 and VOY were made after his passing, that's why if you watch any star trek in Netflix or other digital platform TOS and TNG are always going to look better even though they are actually the older shows (noticed I left ENT out as that was shot in digital)
This was so beautiful, Makes me cry
Me encanta Star Trek y su mensaje de esperanza para el futuro y la tecnología, de la idea de que el entendimiento y la paz son el camino para llegar mucho más halla de lo que nuestros sueños más salvajes son capaces de idear.
Me inspira a mí a hacer mi propia historia, a explorar el futuro y darle a otras personas la misma esperanza que Star Trek me dio a mi.
Gracias, larga vida y prosperidad.
I was beginning to wonder when the Templin Institute would cover Starfleet Command. Well done. Well done indeed.
I'm currently binge watching The next generation, when it first aired I was to young to appreciate the complexity and the depth of the various situations displayed in the series, but now I can see how rich it is.
I love how you show the Oberth-class, aka The Space Coffin, when talking about crew survivability.

@@johnilarde8440 Miranda, you only got your rep during the Dominion War. The Oberth had it's reputation LONG before you did.
Even though this may be the last episode I'll ever see I feel proud being a part of this glorious community, keep calm and Carry on best wishes from the American commissary it
Non-Comissioned Officers (Enlisted personnel) such as Chief O'Brien and Simon Tarses do not attend Starfleet Academy. Much like the naval academies of modern earth, Starfleet Academy is only for the training of future Commissioned Officers.
The whole enlisted structure of Starfleet has been criminally unexplored.
@@TheLAGopher Appartently there's also a "Prior Academic Qualification' track as well. Where if you have an engineering or sciences degree/masters, you can skip the Academy, do enlisted basic training, and get a commission of Ensign/Lieutenant JG respectively.
Simon Tarses did go to Starfleet academy though. He said he did the Academy's training program for enlisted personnel. And he even recounted to Picard how he used to sit under a tree with a circular bench and Jean Luc recalled sitting under the same tree to study.
@@Gankhisprawn My apologies I stand corrected. I only remembered his rank of Crewman, and that in "Drumhead" he mentioned the academy but not wanting to wait four years to graduate and be posted.

By far my favorite video you guys have done! Star Trek is by far my favorite Sci Fi series. Unlike other Sci-fi franchises, Star Trek is the only one that shows a future for humanity that says we can be better than we are now. There are still some problems and conflicts, but instead of shooting first, we can try to use diplomacy and think of solutions first before resorting to violence.
Phew...this was a godsend. I'm writing a crossover fanfiction between several sci fi universes and I needed a crash course in Star Trek. Thank you for your service!
A really excellent episode. However Starfleet command refers to starfleet headquarters in San Fransisco & the organization is known as Starfleet.
"Let's make sure history never forgets the name.....Enterprise"
Nearly too late did Starfleet, and the Federation as a whole, realize a core tenant of idealism: in order to make your ideals a reality, you need power to back them up and help enforce their creation/stability. An idealist without power is an inventor without tools: useless and impotent.
Now that Starfleet has beefed up their weapons and shields, they actually stand a chance of creating lasting peace in the galaxy...as long as the Borg don't muck everything up again.
Space The final Frontier, these are their voyages of the starship Enterprise. It continuing mission to seek out new life and civilization. To bodly go where no one has gone before.
_
Captain Picard, Kirk, Archer.
"Where *no-one* has gone before" as of TNG - Starfleet had plenty of women and non-humans in it by then.
Obviously all copying archer cuz he was first
Kirk's version has "five year mission" and "no Man has gone before"
The latter of which is eventually mentioned (by Klingons I think) to be racist.
Picard's version promptly altered the line going "To boldly go where no one has gone before!"
It’s been a long road, getting from there to here
I've been waiting for ages for this video. I love these Templin Institute videos & Star Trek is my favourite scifi franchise.
Keep up the good work Templins.
So long as the brave officers of starfleet draw breath, the dream of The Federation shall never die!

STD isn't part of this time line, they are separate from this, also why they don't look alike. Though they tried too fool people by calling STD timeline for Prime timeline, as a name instead of indication. Legally they can't be in the same timeline if the deal is to be believed. Not sure about the new Picard series though.

Thank you for producing this and filling in the blanks for so many pans.
Probably my first comment on the channel, but i have to say it, along with the Imperium of Man, the system alliance and UNSC, it one of your very best video
Well done! Such a great video and well made. Thank you for adding a small snip of Nog, such a great diversity of members that make up the Federation.
There is a darker reason for _multi species crews_ - it's to encourage humans to live up to their ideals and not, as is often the case amongst humanity, *sink down to the ethics of the lowest common denominator.*
Humans don't like to let the side down in front of witnesses, so having "outsiders" shames them into compliance with their professed beliefs, not their hidden urges.
Otherwise the subtle unconscious signals and body language amongst humans would allow group think and the leadership of the most ruthless, leading to the exposure of the brutal xenophobic tribalism that still exist as potential in most humans.
This can be seen in the behaviour of the crew of the Equinox, which only had human survivors and performed experiments on other sentients to use them as fuel.
Still this may not be isolated to just the human psyche, after all the most honourable Klingon who lived up to the ideals of his species was raised by and worked with humans and other species.
*It's only under the gaze of others that humanity is really humane.*
@@mosesracal6758 ish? It's more hinted at than outright stated, especially in the interactions between Spock/Kirk and Picard/Wolf
I fail to see how a policy of mutual accountability to shared ideals is "dark".
@@andrewjones2453 it's the idea that without those species, the humans of Star trek would look alot more like the humans of 40k
@@popitrekker1543 But they wouldn't. The humans of 40k, when faced with a dangerous and diverse universe chose a doctrine of supremacy and purity. The humans of Star Trek chose cooperation and IDIC. Given the differences in the natures of the worlds, I'm not sure any comparison is practical. Star Trek is pretty much based on the idea that humanity has reached a point where. given the opportunity, it would make that choice, with others, and among itself.
A possible (not canon) reason that is 'darker' would be a matter of loyalty. If you kept the crews of ships homogeneous, they would be less loyal to the Federation as a whole as opposed to their own Species homeworld. An all-Andorian ship would be more loyal to Andor than the Federation, for example.
Awesome, I've been waiting for this one since Templin Institute started. My favorite one so far.
They used to say if man was meant to fly he'd have wings but then someone smarter said "Who cares what were meant to do, what matters is what we decide to do, and if thats to do the impossible see the invisible kick logic to the curb and fly by flapping our arms, thats what we'll do dagnabbit!"
Thank you for a look at what Starfleet and Star Trek used to be and might come to be again.
I got a beef with families boarding with starships. According to non-canon Gods of Night, after the loss of ENTERPRISE-D at the battle of Veridian III, Starfleet decided not to populate starships on not only vessels smaller than Explorer class, but all of them. There was just too much at stake.
This makes sense in a familial manner. Take the Second World War Navy. The five Sullivan brothers all served onboard light cruiser USS JUNEAU in the Pacific, but all were lost when it was torpedoed. The military adopted family survivor policies that mandated pulling lone family members from front line duty in the case of all the other family members being lost or killed. Starfleet readopted this policy after ENTERPRISE-D was lost.

As a longtime Doom fan, and with Doom: Eternal just around the corner, I would love to see a video on the Union Aerospace Corporation (U.A.C.) sometime in the future. A lot of the lore surrounding the lead character in the latest iterations is still to be clarified in this next release, so I don't expect anything on that subject, but U.A.C. is fairly consistent in it's lore to this point and a video synopsis would put a smile on my face. I know you folks would do a top-notch job on it as you always do.
