đź”’Exploring the Final Alien Races of Stella Trek: Orions, Romulans, and Klingons
Hey my MightyBrawnies, MightySupporters, and đź’ŞMightyPros!
We’re back with another post showcasing the last three alien races today: Orions, Romulans, and Klingons.
I’ve always enjoyed watching Voyager, even though it’s not the most beloved series. Each episode, as they tried to find their way back home, introduced a new alien race and its quirks. In some ways, there’s a parallel between Voyager and BrawnyAi. We keep exploring new ideas and pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in the world of digital hunks, just like Captain Janeway discovering new planets and their challenges. Similarly, I face new discoveries and challenges with each new AI tool, pushing its limits to create unique digital hunks.
During this journey, I’ve discovered many new ideas for hunks. This can sometimes feel overwhelming and cause certain stories that could be further developed to get lost. I’m aware of this and am considering various solutions. Perhaps borrowing from Voyager’s playbook by creating self-contained episodes, or like Deep Space Nine, revolving around one major storyline, such as Lumberlandia.
The challenge is keeping up with technological advancements. The look and feel of our digital hunks are heavily influenced by the technology we use. The better the AI tool, the more realistic our digital hunks look. This process consumes more than 50% of the time. Now, I realize I need to decrease that time to focus on developing deeper stories for each series and character.
Thanks for reading my digressions. Let’s get back to our Stella Trek aliens.
I’d love to create a mini-series, maybe 5-8 posts, telling a major story involving all these races. For example, the Romulans figuring out a way to mind control the Borg’s hivemind to dominate the Stella Trek alliance. However, other priorities are competing against this idea.
Don’t forget our beloved Owen Baxter; I still have to finish his storyline.
Without further ado, here are the final three alien races:
The Orions:
The Orions are a green-skinned alien race usually associated with criminal activities, slavery, and black markets. They appear in a few episodes of the Original series, Enterprise, and two seasons of Discovery. Their green skin is eye-catching, and many people cosplay as this race.
I became more familiar with the Orions in Star Trek Discovery, particularly in season 3 when they travel to the future and confront the Emerald Chain, led by a female Orion. The Orions also appeared in the first season when the Emperor and the crew traveled to Qo’noS and landed at an Orion embassy outpost. In my version, the Orions ended up looking more like a mix between Hulk and someone from Guardians of the Galaxy. I plan to revisit Stella Trek later with more advanced AI capabilities.
The Romulans:
The Romulans are known as a violent, cunning, and xenophobic species in various antagonistic roles. Initially one of the main antagonists in Star Trek, they were at war with humans and later the Federation. They weren’t visually represented until later series, revealing they looked like Vulcans. The story goes that they were once part of the same race, but those who embraced logic became Vulcans, while those who rejected it became Romulans.
After Romulus’ sun went supernova and their planet was destroyed, they got involved in almost succeeding in killing a group of androids. In Star Trek Discovery, they reunited with the Vulcans. The Romulans have had a very rollercoaster-like story!
The Klingons:
The Klingons started as an antagonist race in Star Trek and eventually became allies. During the Deep Space Nine’s Dominion War, the Klingons and Federation’s fate were intertwined. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, we had Worf, and later in Voyager, B’Elanna Torres represented the Klingons or their mix into the Federation.
Finally, the Klingon language remains one of the most famous alien languages today. To me, Klingons have always seemed like heavy metal fans, with their long hair, rough head ridges, and leather-like uniforms giving off that impression.
Thanks for reading this post! I appreciate your patience and support. I’ve been experimenting with various storytelling techniques, formats, and themes, so things might seem a bit messy. But I promise, the dust will settle soon as I gather feedback and data.
With ❤️, “B”, BrawnyAi
