Orius
Legend
Announce a first contact and the whole ship celebrates. There's something we've never seen in Trek. In Trek, they all celebrate first contact like Vulcans. But then, Trek never talked about another favorite activity, stellar cartography, like this either:

So a whole world run by astrology. That's a plot that hasn't been overused so far. Though I'm surprised it took the crew a month to figure things out about the CONSTELLATION OF DEATH. It never occurred to Ed to point out that the stars aren't going to look the same from other worlds, and thus the signs that allegedly rule Regor II don't exist on other worlds. Hell, the planet's other hemisphere probably shouldn't have the same signs. For that matter, the stars don't remain in the same place forever; the Sun doesn't occupy the same place it did in the zodiac when Western astrology was first developed, and this planet has had their system longer. They haven't noticed how the stars move especially with their tracking satellites? But then, they think astrology works instead of being the pseudoscience it actually is, so their methodologies are probably all suspect.
