So basically these guys went with the "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic if you squint a little and believe really hard" aesthetic.
In STO I took the console out and slapped it in to my Cardassian Carrier (With the Five Magicks trait too), so I imagine there's some pretty major aesthetic clashes between Cardassian sections and the Hysperian modules.
Cool ship from a fun series. Already had a Magic-Space Knight when this came out in STO, this immediately became my primary with the Discovery Vanity Shield weaving a 'mysterious pattern' around the hull. Still running it... very fun ship to fly! Nearly as mobile as the best paid-for ships in its class with a full battle cloak so I can just disappear whenever I want to. Does seem to indicate to some of the more spendy types that I need help in group combats though. I rarely do, please do your part of the mission.
Given some of the peculiar worlds encountered in TOS that emulated different eras or aspects of Earth culture, this seems like a logical progression of that into the TNG era.
oh i want this starship my color scheme and style of a dragon the Hysperians might have a big connection to the inhabitants of Megas Tu if so ohhhh sheeep that porta at the center of the galaxy Spock was one of the very few to connect with that power of that realm, and if the Hysperians have some of the beings living amongst them it might be as they say and magic for real can be very undetectable by straight up logical beings like the borg and so onand the leader of the Megas tuan's being a extremly powerful being something even the Q wont even mention cause they outclass the Q many times over and since they are in a universe connected at the center of the galaxy not sure if a traveller can meet them Wesley might but knows not to interfere, but man i want this ship my own anyways the green gold the blue n red is perfect i keep expecting the green power ranger to shoot out of the top and summon the dragon zord to merge with the ship making it ultrapowered.

Fire is only one type of plasma. Other forms of plasma are not generated by an exothermic oxidation chemical reaction. Also, it is entirely possible for fire (such as from rocket engines) to burn in a vacuum or even underwater as long as an oxidizer is present.

You said that it reminds you of a rocket. I kept thinking of Moya, the main ship from Farscape. The ship looks awesome and I love the planet trying to use fantasy in their sci-fi.
Though Lower Decks naturally took a tongue-in-cheek approach to its depiction, a deliberately anachronistic and romanticized culture is a great approach to a post-scarcity society. People need a sense of meaning for their lives, and typically embrace grand narratives to find it. Building a culture around such narratives actually makes more sense than the United Earth’s vague “we work to better our selves and all mankind” ethos.

5:10 -- Referring to the warp coils as the Elf Matrix would make a certain kind of sense. Traditionally, the realm of Faerie is depicted as one where time and distance do not obey the same laws as they do on Earth. For instance, the Irish warrior Oisin famously fell in love with a Fae princess and went to live in her homeland. He later longed to return to visit Ireland and learn of the exploits of his brothers in the Fianna (the followers of Finn McCool -- equivalent to the Knights of the Round Table, but much wilder). His wife lent him an Elven steed and told him to on no account step down from the horse while visiting. He leaned over to help a farmer move a boulder (which seemed to Oisin to be a trifle, as it was only as tall as the farmer himself, and all the Fennian warriors would have easily tossed it about as if it were a skipping stone). The horse's saddle-strap broke, and Oisin fell. The moment he touched the ground, the 900 years he had been absent from Earth began to catch up with him and he rapidly died of old age -- a condition which had no effect on him in the Fae realm. There are also repeated warnings to not stray from the path one is shown to reach a destination, lest the traveler be forever lost ("follow the Yellow Brick Road" is a reference to that tradition). Again, suggesting that the Fae realm was in some sense not spacetime "as we know it".
Thought it was 'see thee,' not 'see thine.' Not my favourite, but it's a free T6 ship, so I wasn't going to complain. I think I was most disappointed by its speed, since I like my ships nimble. Nice to see a human ship with a cloak. I like that more Starfleet ships include one as well, although not a battle cloak.
it has one of the most insane trait + console for non-conventional energy types (except disruptors because they're pretty much conventional) its a 5/3 ships with underperforming seats (Lt intel and Lt Pilot...so no RRtW and a very light SS)

It's a surprisingly capable ship in game. At least the equal I think of the alliance Khitomer class. If you fancy a smaller battle cruiser over the typical monoliths the player base prefers, it's a good choice for a freebie.
I've always just kinda seen Star Trek as "D&D in space." We've got long lived pointy eared bastards who think they're better then everyone else (and their evil cousins). As well as, a rough, but honorable, warrior race who can drink you and all your buddies under the table. Meddling gods, ancient powers, terrible beasts, political intrigue, and epic quests. The whole nine yards.
Cool. An entire culture of LARPers. Also, about them calling probably Sub-space "Elf space"; That tracks with real world elven mythology, because any "Elf" mythology I've come across in the real world, always have them living in another realm, seperate from our reality.
Part of me kind of wondered with the Hysperians if they were going to go with another preserver offshoot humanity such as popped up several times in TOS with the joke being that whatever alien group doing it just yoinked some RenFaires along with way rather than their normal tactics
You have to imagine that some romulan spy trying to explain this shit to their superior. And then that superior going from very angry and or worryed that a human world has cloaking devices on their ships, then getting very confused that these same humans are just a bunch of weridos who go around thinking ren fairs are the hight of historyal realisem and basically larp all day.
The aft of the ship reminds me of the Leviathans or Moya from Farscape. But I would like to see if this faction has bigger war ships or other types of ships in the future.
Medieval Europe actually had quite a diversity of skin tones, at least in cities and major towns, due to all the traders. In fact what we tend to think of as "traditional Medieval European food" is largely just imported Medieval Arabic food, hence the spices and frequent use of dates and raisins :) the lute was also imported from Arabia, then eventually turned into the guitar.
@@samwill7259 that’s fair. I often see repeated a myth that they never existed/visited/traveled at all. It’s true there isn’t much written evidence about how integrated they were into any communities, but there also isn’t much evidence of any particular hostility - no more than say a Spaniard or a Greek trader would get in Britain. They all seemed to be regarded as people just going on about their business, by and large. The exception in written works is antisemitism, that was very rife at the time and highly evident. But of course there were and are Jews with all colours of skin, so that wouldn’t look the same or be evident purely visually.
@@kaitlyn__L These are still Starfleet Earth people when you get down to brass tacks I suppose. Any concept of bigotry in the motif would be very alien to them
I would have loved to see a different ending to the Original Series episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?" where Kirk sent word back to the Federation to see if there were any people on Earth, Mars, etc that would be interested in coming to live with Apollo. An interweaving of Apollo's proclivities (and knowledge -- he was credited with inventing the concept of cities, politics, municipal administration, as well as several forms of music and arts), the interests of the colonists, and then-modern technology could have made for an interesting Federation-aligned world by, say, Next Generation era. I could imagine them launching exploratory vessels named Argo, Phosphoros (bringer of light, the name of a historical Athenian naval vessel), Paralos, and Salaminia (sacred Athenian ships used to carry messages and transport delegations to places like the Oracle of Delphi -- modern equivalent would be a diplomatic vessel).
That is a cool looking ship, interesting story, might get up to date with Lower Decks now. Was this an event reward ship? If it is I bet it will be on that awfully expensive FOMO shop (Mudd's?) for something like 100USD eventually. By Q I hate the greediness of it all. Fits the character I guess.
I like the conceit for the voiceover at the start :) though haven't you done Klingon ships too? Maybe you mean first non-Fed human ship. I didn't know they'd thought through quite so many of the naming conventions. I really like the "scrying orb" for the sensors though. I always assumed the Hysperians declared independence from the Federation 50-100 years after colonisation, but I suppose they could've been independent from day one... since, as you say, the Federation doesn't withhold aid just because you won't become a vassal state.
After an encounter with the Monaveen Class, I wonder if it would inspire perhaps a Federation equivalent? (Minus the cloak of course). This would make a great Intel and stealth cruiser. And the "dragon scales" could be added as a newer form of advanced armor. Say it's the "sacrificial layer" and under is the Tritanium hull. An enemy can burn off the scales, but just underneath is a sort of "inner shield" protecting the hull. A lower cost version of "ablative armor". A sort of compliment ship to the Defiant Class. And perhaps even a task force of Defiant and the "Kulkulkahn" Class (In honor of the STTAS entity know as Kulkulkahn and his ship). Stealth and defense together.
Imagining these kind of ships running around during the Dark Age of Technology makes it a whole lot easier for me to believe that the “flying cathedrals” aesthetic of 40k was a carryover from previous centuries rather than something invented after the Ministorum got big. Wait, does this mean that the entire DAOT human federation was made up of Hysperian-style LARPers??
An entire planet that was colonized by LARPers and SCA and Renfaries? All I can think of is what would happen to the Borg if they were assimilated and I would actually pay to see that.
For those who are unaware this entire colony is just one very on the nose reference to dragon riders of pern an iconic science fantasy franchise involving humans colonizing a planet, creating literal psychic dragons, and then regressing into a pre industrial/medieval culture due to dpme sci fi nonsense. Its a pretty great series.
When the Mirror universe humans from the 40k universe end up in star trek but leave behind the ultra-violence... they kept the baroque, over the top aesthetic though....
A second-hand one that's been retrofitted to fully utilise its internal space and not be so wasteful in its layout would be a deceptively formidable ship. Maybe there's a pragmatic Secret faction of Hyperion intelligence that have stripped one out of all luxuries and made a pure man of war version?
After that episode, I can now see a Japanese Samurai era themed colony started up by humans, but is a very popular tourist destination for Klingons. Or even a second home!
What if one of these crashed on a primitive planet.... It might actually do less cultural contamination as it would just be slotted in with mythological beliefs.. as long as the locals weren't advanced enough to reverse engineer anything.
I performed at a Ren Fest for most of a decade, and this episode was the most realistic depiction of the weirdos me and my fellow performers were that I’ve ever seen.
So basically these guys went with the "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic if you squint a little and believe really hard" aesthetic.
Yes, and never break character.
They're an entire civilisation of LARPers
And, any sufficiently analyzed Magic is indistinguishable from Technology.
The more I think about it,..I kinda dig it.

Interesting idea of STO to give it a cloak, as it does not need to abide by the Treaty of Algeron. And giving it a "dragons breath".
