[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8101925, member: 19675"] I was thinking about my kitchen sink work in progress: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/brainstorming-a-“kitchen-sink“-sci-fi-campaign.674753/[/URL] ...and an idea that absolutely didn’t fit, but I thought was worth exploring: a Star Trek type setting in which Rome either never fell, or a Roman-style civilization rose back to prominence and dominance. As humanity spread to the stars, the Republic (Empire? Something else?) definitely has a more militaristic and expansionist doctrine than the Federation. Very...[I]nostri maris et stellas. [/I](”Our sea of stars”.) Obviously, that means there wouldn’t be Romanesque Romulans, but maybe something a bit more pseudo-Carthaginian? While I want to draw inspiration from all Trek eras- and maybe a couple of lifts from [I]The Orville[/I]- visually, I want to stick closer to the original show, in part because the uniform had those nice, leafy trim. But command wouldn’t be gold, it would be royal purple (Jovians). SecurityMilitary would remain red (Ares). Communications/Commerce/Diplomacy would be silver (Mercury). Medical would be gold (Apollo). Science would be blue (Minerva). [/QUOTE]
