HANNIBAL STAR TREK AU
I went with betazoid will cause I felt like it made the most sense, and I just also wanted to see him with extra huge big beautiful eyes
I didn't really think to much into hannibal being cardassian other than 1 - I thought Mads would look good with the cardassian makeup and that 2- that garak kinda reminded me of hannibal
-side note, I decied that in mizumono hannibal would use his claws instead of that knife he had.

I couldn’t deal with it anymore I’ve gotta have an explanation for why all Betazoids on Voyager have extremely human names so I’ve made up my own:
Lieutenant Veronica Stadi: one of her parents was a xenobotanist who were fascinated with the alien flora of Earth. She’s actually named after her mom’s favorite alien flower Veronica longifolia, also known on Earth as the Speedwell. Veronica probably picks up the nickname Speedwell as an almost-pun on her ability to fly ships really speedily and really well all while avoiding quantum filaments
Juliet Jurot: given that she choses to attend the Vulcan Science Academy, I’m just going to assume that her whole family is very interested and open to experiencing the cultures of other species. Thus she’s named after the Shakespeare character - her father had a deep and important friendship and working relationship with a Klingon translator who worked on translating Shakespeare from the original Klingon into several Betazed languages. She’s a little mad that out of all the Shakespeare characters her dad could have picked he went for the tragic teenager and Jurot just has to carry that reference as a level-headed adult woman now, but she also does see the appeal of the alliteration over like “Perdita Jurot” (Sycorax Jurot though, now there’s a fucking cool Betazoid name)
Lon Suder: his parents were SO psychic that they saw both into the future and outside of the bounds of the narrative and knew their son would be in a horror episode of Star Trek: Voyager and were like “hmm let’s name him after renowned Earth horror actor Lon Chaney just to be thematically appropriate; that’ll be fun for a couple people in the audience to speculate on.”

Deanna is so self-conscious of not being a full-blooded Betazoid, and it makes me so sad.

Star Trek: the Next Generation #16 "Contamination"
Humans and Betazoids alike are always giving her a hard time for not having the full range of abilities of a Betazoid, and even though she doesn't show it outwardly, you can tell it really bothers her.

Humans in star trek: wtf wtf how dare the ferengi slightly mispronounce our species name
Also humans in star trek: ok so since the star chart has your planet listed as BZ we're calling you "betazoids"

Vulcan who dresses like a manwhore because it’s logical to be aesthetically appealing
Romulan girl who is just really into bugs
Klingon therapist who really wants to see you thrive
Angsty Betazed teen that just wants to be left alone and some peace and quiet
Cardassian that has a special interest in different alien cultures and absolutely loves them all and wants to celebrate them

"The women of Betazed used to wear these enormous wigs with large holes in the centre for tiny caged animals...First, it was a fashion. Then it went on long enough to become a custom, a tradition. But it was uncomfortable for the woman and cruel to the animal. So then one day, one very formidable woman finally said so, refused ever to wear another of those wigs. fairly soon the custom stopped. She had the courage to stand up and fight for change." - Lwaxana Troi, TNG S5e20

Vulcan side blah blah this, Klingon half yadda yadda that.
Enough.
Ligers weigh twice the mass of either of their parents. It's time to give Star Trek hybrids absurd traits that are entirely specific to them.
Deanna knows exactly how your stomach is doing, she can sense when you'll have diarrhea.
Spock can mind meld with any living or conscious thing ever, including things like grass and the fungi in your cheese, thanks to his Human heritage.
B'Elanna has three vaginas.

Hope betazoids and vulcans aren’t biologically compatible because that baby would be fucked over on a new level.

Make It So Friday
Tumblr media
I haven't read a ton of the Star Trek Dominion War books (yet?). But, I’ve seen all of DS9. So, I was prepared.
But, honestly, the reason that I read this book is because I have always loved the planet and people of Betazed, and how they’ve been portrayed both on screen and in the few books that focus on them (*cough* Imzadi *cough*). Everything from how they can sense each others feelings and thoughts. The different levels of telepathy and just all the ways the show (and novel) writers made these Betazed people look almost like us and yet they were so, so different. So, on that level, I loved this book. But, it was also a battle book. It had both the internal battles of Deanna Troi as well as the few outward battles going on against the Jem-Hadar and Cardassians.
The main question of this book was, what would you do to save your people? Would you perhaps doom your people's future to save your race in the present? It's an often used question in books, the deal with the devil, and I thought it was presented in an interesting way in this book.
You may like this book If you Liked: The Romulan War by Michael A. Martin, Acts of Contrition by Kirsten Beyer, or Taking Wing by Michael A. Martin

Top 3 Star Trek The Next Generation alien races
By Ames
Tumblr media
Now that we’ve reminisced over our favorite minor characters and favorite villains from The Next Generation, A Star to Steer her By is rounding off our cruise on the Enterprise-D by thinking about our favorite alien races from the series. We did it before for The Original Series and found some deeply fascinating and outrageously campy aliens to highlight then, so what kind of aliens does one pick for The Next Generation? There are way more episodes to choose from and the aliens are more than just humans in a flashy jumpsuit, so let’s see them strut their stuff.
Sure, we see some of the staples that were introduced in the days of Kirk. The Klingons and Romulans both get significantly more development in culture in this slightly more modern show, and the occasional Vulcan still looks down their nose at you. But some of the best Trek races get their starts here in TNG and you’ll see those ones are going to fill our favorites lists. Check them all out below and listen to our discussion on this week’s podcast episode (discussion at 1:14:06) for all the extraterrestrial chatter. We sought out new lifeforms, and boy did we find ‘em!

Ames – More machine now than man
Borg
Exocomps
Bynars
I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for a good robot any day, whether they want to kill all humans, just develop their own agency, or just open a can. TNG introduces the Borg and it’s one of the best things they ever did, with impacts across other series galore. Plus they just look rad. We also meet the cute little Exocomps who have gained their own kind of sapience and who we’ll see more of in Lower Decks, wink wink. And finally the cybernetically enhanced Bynars are just too cool a concept to pass up, especially when they turn out to be benevolent in the end! Beep boop!
Tumblr media
Jake – Allow me to introduce myself
Exocomps
Tamarians
Bajorans
Jake’s three top races just want to be respected as much as anyone else; you just need to put in a little extra effort to understand them. The Exocomps are making an appearance because of just how interesting it was discussing when a creature has rights like the rest of us. Sokath! His eyes uncovered! It was also worthwhile watching Picard learn how to communicate with Tamarians like Captain Dathon. And the whole Bajoran plight starts out so interesting when we meet Ensign Ro and ascertain what it means to wear that earring.
Tumblr media
Chris – Power moves
Betazoids
Q Continuum
Satarrans
You’ve got to respect a race that rolls in and just takes charge whether they’re supposed to or not. We see it in the honest-to-a-fault Betazoids who always know what’s up because they can literally read your mind. We see it, of course, in the Q Continuum, our pick for most powerful species, for whom the whole galaxy is their table to put their feet up on. And we may only get a glimpse of it from the mysterious Satarrans in “Conundrum,” but their plan to infiltrate the Enterprise crew with an undercover MacDuff nearly gets another race destroyed!
Tumblr media
Caitlin – Gimme a B!
Bajorans
Betazoids
Benzites
Any ABC book about Star Trek (and I’ve bought one before) is highly unfair to all of our favorite alien species who begin with B because there are just too many good ones! At least Caitlin has three opportunities to namedrop some great B species, from the Bajorans who get started off so well developed already in The Next Gen, to the Betazoids whose empathic powers help us all to remember to look inward once in a while, to the Benzites who had some of the best makeup and breathing apparatuses we get to see in Trek!
That’s it for our visit to The Next Generation for now! Back to full time assignment on the Voyager, where we’re still boldly going through the Delta Quadrant over on SoundCloud or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also read our minds over on Facebook and Twitter, and if you meet a species beginning with a B, consider befriending them immediately! Odds are good that they’ll be cool.

Since I draw Vulcans and Klingons and Romulans with tails I think I'm gonna start drawing betazoids with little ear tufts.
