The Polaris takes a few moments of rest over Tzenketh after the latest Kzinti raid.


If anybody wants to use my Tzenketh planet image, just give me a PM, I can send it to you as a .png image with Alpha channel.

I've been reading the crossover fanfic by :icondantrekfan48: where the Messiah finds the Polaris a few decades later in worse shape drifting in an asteroid field, and comparing damage in that fic and what's depicted here, it makes me wonder if the multiple beatings the Polaris took in the Kzin-Tzenketh war reduced the ultimate life of her by a decade at the least, all that damage sustained with heavily delayed refitting leaving 'fatigue' in the spaceframe that can't be fixed.

She served for a time after her original crew were forced out of space service (yes, we were ousted one way or another). But she was followed soon after by the Nestor class Polairs, commanded by Kore Thalassa. That ship was lost in the Tomed incident. For many years, perhaps decades, there was no First Fleet ship named Polaris. In the wake of the Federation-Tzenkethi War, the First Fleet issued the construction of the Avante class, a ship designed to help the Tzenkethi in the War, given the Federation's unjust claims of Tzenkethi territory. Yes, even back then, the First Fleet and the UE Government opposed the general Fed policy...

A song comes to mind after seeing this great picture:

Life During Wartime-The Talking Heads

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway, a place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance, I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto, I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver
hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, trucks are loading
everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
to last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers
ain't got no headphones
ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time?
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
we blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
we make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
you ought to get you some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions
then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
the burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances
you better watch what you say

Keep up the great work.
