The K7 Space Stations

- The Space station known as K-7 features in Star Trek the original series, The Trouble with Tribbles before being revisited (in the same TOS setting) by Deep Space Nine. So let's take a look at this one time important space station and its lore. From history to it's time in the Klingon War as well as a schematic overview, let's explore it! And Sherman's Planet too because it's nearby, why not?

K-7 got route 66'd and that is possibly one of the funniest and most realistic things to happen
Ah station K7, Not to be confused with station K9 where Starfleet trains it's pet companions for personnel onboard starships.
Fun Fact: Spot was a ensign and had degrees in Quantum Superposition and uncertainty principles.
The Dolphins and Whales got their education there before moving onto ship postings.
If you ever wonder what happens to outdated stations. Packleds
Right off the bat, a colorful map.
Fun fact: they used the same voice as the tramcar voice for announcements for the transport system, as they do at beach boardwalks.
In the Star Trek comics, K-7 exists in the Kelvin Timeline where after the events of Star Trek '09, Spock travelled to the station to find Cyrano Jones and request transport to Romulus to discover the Empire's plans for eliminating the surviving Vulcans.
I would expect starfleet to have construction ships akin to stellaris where the ship can fabricate almost all the components and hull pieces and just needs raw or processed material to be shipped in by bulk
The Stellaris Star Trek mod bases their construction ship designs on the ones from Star Trek: Armada
I love to see K7 in Strange New Worlds.
I think we all ready have
I would like to see a different K-class station to build out the rest of the universe without retreading the same stuff from other Treks. There’s a galaxy of stories and places, why keep going to the same few?
@@silmarian Corporate Greed
@silmarian we haven't gotten the same few, every series we've gotten has gone mostly to new (to us) places.
I always sort of expected Star Trek's star bases to be more like DS9 able to take a lot of damage and deal out a lot of damage but whenever we see space stations they lose very quickly even thought they are soo much bigger then ships
DS9 is kind of an oddball of UFP stations Cardassian made etc for all we know it's pretty weak.
Starfleet doesn't really arm their space stations. Even Spacedock didn't have any weapons till the Breen attacked Earth.
God I hope we get some k7 in the upcoming treks 🤗
I first confused K-7 with Drozana Station again but that cleared up after you mentioned Starfleet retaking the station in the Online continuity. On that point, could you make a video on that latter station? At least if there's anything to mention in alpha or beta canon that is.
K7 stations have Troubles with Tribbles
What about Tribble trouble , not just the trouble with Tribbles ?
Crew quarters next to the rail line. That must be awful.
That should be where you put a brig, not crew quarters.
@@copter2000 Old school elevated trains were the bane of apartments of major cities that had them.
You’d expect a couple centuries of scientific development to at least include sound dampening systems for transit lines, right? 🤷♂️
Hey look he is talking about me. :^)
🖖😎👍Very totally cool and very nicely greatly wonderfully well done and nicely informatively explained and executed in every detail way shape and format provided on the K-7 Space Stations and the reason for its purpose on all their various different functions,facilities and abilities and duties required of them; A job very nicely fabulously well done indeed Sir!👌.
A good spot for a Monastery.
Another great vid, Ric! i would love love love to see a movie or bigger feature with K7 as the centerpiece. Such an underrated source of small-stakes drama and scli-fi. Maybe during its time as a neutral trade hub for all things illegal and fun.
Straight away, it's close to another superpower.
What luck! Just last week I found a fan animation/mockumentary about the Battle of Deep Space K-7!
To insure the lasting value of a station, it needs to be attached to a planet or star system that is "up and coming" or a bustling hub of some kind of activity.
Some stations get interesting stories, like the one that was lost in space and time, only to end up the far-past, as well as Drozana Station, which is under Ferengi management, and pretty run-down. Other stations just sit there doing there thing. Doing it so well, in fact, that you never hear about them, in much the same way you likely never heard of the _Olympic_ . But chances are you heard of her younger sister, _Titanic_ , because something did go very wrong there. You may or may not have ever heard of their younger sister, _Britannic_ . It all depends.
I remember mixing up K-7 with Drozana in STO because they were kind of near by each other XD
In STO K-7 is my main base. It has everything you need. And being close to my home system of Aldebaran it's ideal.
You take that back about Tribbles being vermin
Love anything K-7 related. I'd live there no problem.
Huh. And here I was thinkin' K7 went down the same journey to irrelevance and eventual destruction as a "hazard to navigation" that B5 did.
K-7, in orbit or in the nearby area around the perpetually starving _Sherman's Planet_
Man...I looked it up, and K7 stations apparently have no weapons according to multiple sources. Kind of disappointing, but I can't deny that it makes a kind of sense _not_ to arm a station!
I've always felt that K-9 was in many ways the original DS9 for it's time.
I never put together that it wasn't Mudd with the tribbles.
Also: What is up with Starfleet assigning commanders to stations who don't have the rank to enforce docking and traffic instructions? Is that just SOP?
Great video Rick! Would love to see you do a top ten Star Trek books
Captain Calhoun should have been made Cannon!
what civilian branch were they getting these crews from?
SCIENCE!!!
What station was used for Vanguard?
Before taking that footage from the game i suggest you to use nvidia sharpening and sharpening + it will look way better.
Where's "Dog Station" (K9)? ;-D
It was kinda like Babylon 5 before there was a Babylon 5.
The Federation population of Sherman's Planet is entirely human? That doesn't seem likely...
Also...who's Sherman?
Ensign Sherman was a lower decks crew member on board the USS Corsair, and he won a raffle to have the next planet discovered named after him.
Digging in to his personnel file, he was later assigned to the USS Enterprise, under Captain April, as Away Team Security, and met a tragic demise on Risa when he offered a Horgon to a trio of Nausicans that took him up on the offer.
This is why Nausicans are only allowed on one small island on Risa.
or 4) an accident causes it to self detonate. star trek likes doing that.
8:06 too soon
it proberply got replaced and scrapped man i love to see more diffrent space stations design in the federation i dont belive a goverment that big only build mushrooms space space stations
Worst place to put the reactor! It should be where the shuttle bays are. Just sayin'!
Why do people do the "first" thing, attention i guess.
Sad, isn’t it. Almost (but not quite), as sad as people who post the “wake up babe…” comment.
i often assume they're usually young when they do it
This is social media, isnt pretty much the entire internet about getting attention?
Hey there. I did the first "first" on this video. I'm 40. No real reason. I happened to notice the video was up and there weren't any comments yet. I haven't watched it yet, but it's my understanding that videos with more comments/interaction, get higher chances of being directed to others. I don't know what's in the video, but the least I can do is comment something, and commenting "first" is accurate. It can also be ignored, like everything else on the internet. Have a wonderful day.
Engagement comments supporting creators they enjoy, mostly. Same as most repeat jokes or "algorithm" mentions.
Star Trek Picard takes place in the Prime Universe. Nothing that happened in it is canon.
First!
Dang it, beat me by 14 seconds xD
