Star Trek: The Search for Answers

I haven't done a Star Trek quiz in ages so I'm going to set another one now. The prize for the most correct answers is a weekend trip for two to Risa with 500 strips of latinum spending money.

1.The Grand Nagus leads which civilisation?

2.What is this?



3.Hikaru Sulu is played by which actor?

4.What rank does Data have in Star Trek: The Next Generation?

5.Galor, Legate, Gul

What links the above three words?

6.What is this?



7.What class was the USS Melbourne?

8.What is Lisbon's importance to the UFP?

9.What is the capital of the UFP?

10.What was the first episode of Star Trek: Voyager?

Can I play? Please?

Maybe I'll just pm you my answers to maintain the gravitas of the thread for the time being?

Grovel, grovel...

Oh, you can play away Kate P. PMing your answers to me would be great. It'd be like a preview.

I'll think up a Feature Prize for yourself as well!

No8 has to be a reference to Ireland's rejection of the treaty and as a result the EU evolved into the UFP.

Dang, my ruse is foiled!

It is all a French plot because they get the Presidency.

Number 2 is a Romulan vessel, and Number 6 is that thing the doctor uses to scan people.
I think the answer to Number 4 is Lieutenant.
That's the extent of my knowledge of Star Trek.

Damn. I thought it was the guys with the big weird foreheads. They are Romulans, aren't they?
I know Klingons have weird foreheads as well but the Romulans ones are weirder.

Go hiontach riadach!

Does anyone else want to have a go at the quiz?

Is data a commander?

Any chance is melbourne an intrepid class? It's the only one I remember.

He's not far off commander rank.

Afraid not, Intrepids are slightly more modern than the USS Melbourne.

Tempted to wikipedia it.

Well, you're on fairly strong grounds anyway. I wish others would have a go. Some of the answers can come if you just think a bit. I hope Kate P gives her unique view on the world of Trek as well.

Just looked the melbourne up on the star trek wiki (I'm really not this sad, I swear) and it is one who-er of a question.

Ah now, you're not sad for looking at the Star Trek wiki. MA is a great resource on all things Trek.

Mmm. I know! I'm hoping stannis has a go and gets it right!

Leuitenant commander also chief con officer

Quote :

5.Galor, Legate, Gul

What links the above three words?

Are they military and political ranks in Cardassia?

Yes and no. A Gul is strictly a military rank. Legates and Galors may command a vessel but usually they command fleets and only carry a flag. The political involvement increases from Gul (almost 0) to Galor (almost 100%)

Quote :

7.What class was the USS Melbourne?

I guess an olympic class?

Quote :

8.What is Lisbon's importance to the UFP?

Lisbon I believe is the town where the main power source for the Earths planetary defense systems are. This was sabotaged by red squad in DS( paradise lost)?

Your views on this, Ard Taoiseach?

They are somewhat correct, I shall endeavour to award prizes at a ceremony in an Sibín Reoite tonight.

1.The Grand Nagus leads which civilisation?

A branch of the Ancient Neanderthals and closely related - by marriage obviously, to the Nagthem and Nagthemsenseless tribes of Central Europe. The civilisation in question is Homo Sap.

2.What is this?

I can't be sure, but I think they're for sale in Romulan sex shops..?

Quote :

3.Hikaru Sulu is played by which actor?

With a name like that, it must be the guy who played Mr Miyagi, the Wise Karate Expert in Karate Kid; a kind of Han Solo for Asia?

Quote :

4.What rank does Data have in Star Trek: The Next Generation?

Depends on whether it's paper (very 20th century and therefore lowranking) or cutting edge computerish (very Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 century and therefore highranking)

5.Galor, Legate, Gul

What links the above three words?

They're all folk singer songwriters of the stratosphere. They don't bother with the low sperm count pants and 'look ma, I got the hang of cutting tinfoil into interesting shapes to stick on my chest and arms' sweaters in matching tones. Galor's biggest selling hit was 'Where have all the asteroids gone, long time passing.' Legate, more in the Dylan vein than either of the other two is best known for his album of lyre-accompanied self-penned social critiques such as Celestial Homesick Blues. Gul is less well known as an artist but he has done a folksy version of the Frames Star Star teach me how to shine, teach me so I know what's going on in your mind.' He did a good job on it too, for a guy with a haircut like Glen Hansard's. There was a time when you couldn't set foot on the international space station without hearing some wannabe empyrean hero humming the chorus as Jean Luc strode past.

6.What is this?

What is it with the sex toys this round, A-T? Same as the last time. This one's remote, obviously.

Quote :

7.What class was the USS Melbourne?

According to Wikipedia, Carl Linneaus tried repeatedly to find the correct spot for the USS Melbourne in the Spaceships section of Species Planatarum. In latter years there have been arguments in Spaceship Trader emagazine about it's exact class and therefore resale value on the open market. Those who have seen the USS Melbourne hanging around the Red Star District of Space feel she has no class at all. The Kate P jury is therefore out on this one.

Quote :

8.What is Lisbon's importance to the UFP?

494,000,000 people in Europe don't give a shit about Lisbon, what makes you think the UFP are any different?

Quote :

9.What is the capital of the UFP?

Who knows? Ryanair don't fly there.

Quote :

10.What was the first episode of Star Trek: Voyager?

'This one's going to run and run...'

Did I miss the prize-giving in the Síbín or was I just not invited? Maybe I'm losing my touch...

No, you aren't, I was otherwise disposed over the the weekend. Now that you have reminded me, I am going presently go dtí an Sibín Reoite to hand out prizes.

On the offchance that I get a prize, no men this time; my mother is still living with me and she hasn't gotten used to the other two yet... I can't bring home another one.
