Which Star Trek era would the panel choose to enter, and why?
Short answerAlex chooses a Nebula-class command in the Dominion War. Dragon prefers 2409 for its ships, and the later era also attracts interest in its medical technology.
NotesThe period after the Burn is rejected because institutional collapse would bring unwanted responsibility for rebuilding government. Alex instead chooses a Nebula-class ship during the Dominion War and jokes about ending the conflict through attacks that would lead to new war-crimes rules. Dragon prefers the period after Voyager, particularly 2409 in Star Trek Online, for its choice of ships. The later era also appeals because of its medical technology. The choices differ over whether to seek a wartime command or the benefits of a more advanced future.
