thankls stuart for starting this. It was fun in PM, but many more ideas makle it better.

I love this idea. We can get nitty and gritty. US coverty ops situations and havfe fun with it. We can show what shooting redshorts from the other side of them looks like.

IT can be argued that the best of DS9 was the Dominion war. They showed some tactics and the Defiant fighting was just really cool. IF the entire federation and the rebels were to begin a all out ciivl war aginst eachother you can introduce new techology to fight the war and also intoroduce certain concepts.

One thing i have just thought of is try to show both sides at the same time. Like every other episode switch off. One episode is the rebellions side of the story, the other is the Starfleets side. Both can slander eachother. Than fans can pic their favorite side and have fun with it.

Heck we can even have competitions. For a season long war, paraamount can shoot two endings and the fans can decide who wins those battles. Federation space could be devided up.

Soonme the Romulans can enter too on the side of the Rebeks and have a go at the federation too. The federationms faitful allies the Klingons would obviuosly join their side. So not only will it be a civil war, it could turn into a interstellar war vbetween the races of the quadrant.

Heck you can have the Borg take advantage of this later on and try an invasion in a large battle. Take over a few sytems and become a new, very fearsome enemy. like they were in TNG.


Stuart: you are definitely right that voyager was pure federation propaganda. Just the weakaning of all races against a scout class ship is just stupid. There is no way the Voyager will take down even a borg sphere. Heck in TNG a whole fleet could not take down one cube in Wolf 359 (or somethi9ng like that number).

If anyone here mknows someone in paramount i would suggest you give them this page or this idea.




One example of a episode from the first season. We go all the way back to a TNG episode. You can pick one where thery battle some big enemy. You can see the entire episode form a maquis or rebbelion leaders eyes. They were on the ship and lost alot of family or a good freind in that battle. Their loss was covered up or not cared about.

OR maybe their freind was killed on a away mission to save one of the main castmembers and never given their proper funeral rights.

Well they can tell the true stories. Picard cowering in his awayroom. Riker coinstantly telling other to shut up. Troy using hipnosis to make people believe the federation is really good.



You can even take ideas form other movies or shows. Have a Terminator scenario where starfleet personell go back in time to kill off a major leader. Sure its been done before, but what hasent?

If you want you can have the cliche "romeo and jouliet" episode. Two people on opposite sides of the fence find love. You can have one of these characters (or both) be a main cast member. One day during a battle the significant other is on the opposing ship and killed by this persons own hand. This can rack them with guild for the entire season. Mauybe later on he/she can kill themselves because of the guilt. IT would be dramatic and realistic.
