[Q2&A] Unit Operations: The USS Proxima
Première unité depuis plus de vingt ans à s'installer dans la région, Proxima est basée à Metz, ville pittoresque du nord-est de la France. Proche des frontières de l'Allemagne, du Luxembourg et de la Belgique, Proxima a le potentiel d'aller loin, notamment grâce à son capitaine et à son équipe fondatrice qui visitent des événements dans la région. La capitaine de Proxima, Magali Kauffman, a été impressionnée par leur proposition d'exercer une influence positive et diplomatique sur la communauté des fans. Après une première impression positive, Proxima a rapidement obtenu l'approbation pour devenir le dernier membre du Quadrant 2. Depuis lors, Proxima a apporté un élément unique et perspicace à Q2 en portant le drapeau de tout ce que nous défendons dans une région souvent négligée en dépit de son incroyable et vibrante communauté. Le lancement de Proxima a été […]
[Retro Review] Scorpion; Voyager S3E26 & S4E01
There's not a Star Trek show that hasn't been put on a pedestal or picked as the definitive of the franchise for it's overall perfection. Though in reality, few few have been great from the word go. From the shaky grounds of the Next Generation's early years to awaiting Sisko finding his beard, most branches of the Star Trek tree have felt like an experiment until they find that one piece of the puzzle that was missing. For Voyager, that piece of the puzzle was Scorpion. Fresh off their reinvention in First Contact, the Borg are still known as one of the Federations biggest threats; a near unstoppable hive mind void of compassion or emotion as they adsorb entire cultures into their shared collective; a deadly cybernetic virus wiping out individuality to serve their single minded purpose of expansion. As […]
[Ships Of The Line] The NEw Orleans
One of the first multi purpose vessels built for the mid 24th century refresh of Starfleet, the New Orleans was the most adaptable model within the larger Galaxy family of starship design. With a trio of mission specific sensor pods, the ship was perfect for short term research missions as a primary objective whilst being able to swap out the pods for more specific purposes or even as defensive units. Smaller than the 'heads of the table' Galaxy and Nebula classes, the New Orleans was the more traditional design in the mid-scale models similar to the Cheyenne and Springfield Classes. Hosting a crew averaging 500, the ship was tightly packed with mixed crew quarters and multi-purpose research facilities to accommodate for the far-ranging tasks it would be assigned to, whether it was planetary defence or survey operations. With modernised nacelles […]
Tour The Galaxy with the USS Tesla!
Every quarter we'll be putting a division of Quadrant 2 under the spotlight as we Tour The Galaxy with the best and brightest of the fleet. And to start off on a high, we thought we'd begin with one of our fastest developing groups in the past decade; the USS Tesla! The first unit to launch following our mass fleet reorganisation a decade ago, the USS Tesla was first proposed as an idea in passing conversation and soon blossomed into one of the leading groups in both Q2 and in Scotland. Coming in with established roots in the sci fi community, founding members of Tesla were already well known in fan circles thanks to their association and membership with the UK Colonial Marines and diverse involvement at events in Scotland and beyond. Spearheaded by Fraser who stands as CO of […]
Across The Universe: Strange New World Premiere!
As we look over the months news and updates for the Star Trek Universe, there's only one topic that's on everyone's minds as the Star Trek Universe gets itself rteady for a return to the Enterprise and it's adventures to Strange New Worlds... Between writers strikes and production closures, the wait for Strange New Worlds' third season has felt as long as the five year mission itself. But the Enterprise is soon returning and we have a small idea of when Captain Pike and the crew will be back on Paramount Plus! The Tribeca Film Festival, running from June 4-15th, has announced that Strange New Worlds will become part of the line up with the premiere of season 3 being held at the festival in New York. Alongside a panel featuring Anson Mount, Celia Rose Gooding and more including producer […]
[Ships Of The Line] The Nova (& Rhode Island) Class
One of the more popular starship designs to come out of the mid-late 24th century, the Nova and it's sub class the Rhode Island, had an unusual history. Initially drafted as one of many designs conceptualised following early encounters with the Borg, it's origins lay in defensive planning before it was finalised for a more scientific role in favour of other defensive options for the fleet. Designed for combat initially, the Nova Class was one of many styles designed to be small, compact and manoeuvrable that could be built up in large numbers to bolster the fleeds defence in times of crisis. Like many starship designs proposed at the time, the ship's concept would be abandoned in favour of the Defiant Class project until a new idea was needed elsewhere. Revived by Starfleet for short term planetary research, the Nova […]

[Review] LaGrange Point: Discovery S5E09
All the pieces of the puzzle have been put together. Now with the end in sight, Burnham and her crew are on the edge of their greatest discovery. Yet there are still obstacles in the way with Moll and the Breen having taken possession of the combined Progenitor Artifact, the USS Discovery dead in the water and a potential all out conflict in the background.

[Review] Labyrinths, Discovery S5E08
Hidden behind trials, tests and general annoyances that would drive even a sane person a little bit mad, the final piece of the puzzle is in sight. Hidden within an ancient travelling archive of the galaxy's most prized knowledge, the only problem is figuring out what it all means. Arriving at the Eternal Library, Captain Burnham opens the pages of an ancient Betazoid manuscript looking for the final answer only to find herself trapped in a psychological game where she doesn't even know the question...
[Review] Erigah: Discovery S5E7
Answering a distress call sent my Mol and L'ak, Discovery apprehends the treasure hunters only to find themselves staring down one of several Breen overlords looking to get their hands on the duo leading to a potential revival of war against the devestating power of the Breen. As Burnham and Vance look for a diplomatic answer to a fight they can't win, Moll looks for a way to escape (of course!) while Stamets rounds up the troops to try and figure out the final clue, including recruiting a bored and frustrated Book...
