Probably it is a special ability of the Prestige Class "Starfleet Commanding Officer" or at least a Feat on their Bonus Feat list. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />2Ranger REG: Maybe they can`t and don`t want to stop making Startrek based series and movies - It is a very succesful franchise, and Paramount wants it to make as much money as possible - and since it still makes money, there is no reason to end it, even if some authors and producers think it would be better to pause for a while. 2John Crichton: I know that Babylon 5 and DS9 aired around the same time, but that does not mean they didn`t have the problem - Sometimes, a story some authors of Bab5 might have thought of but didn`t implement yet would be used and already aired on DS9, or vice versa. And sometimes they didn`t notice their similarities, but the audience might, and found one or both of the series lacking creative ideas. Some people accused the people on DS9 to copy the Babylon 5 story arc (Great interstellar War, Sisko/Sheridan as religious icon , introducing a warship to the station), even if many of the aspects seem to be logical developments or actings to please the audience. (I currently watch the DS9 reruns - the Dominion did already appear in the beginning of the 2nd season, but only as a mysterios figure in the background - there are some hints here and there, and it seems also as if the Dominion wasn`t very friendly and peaceful. It seems to me that it was a more or less planned storyline ...)Mustrum Ridcully</blockquote>
