// End of Definition //As you can see, the actual definition of the word accord can have more than one meaning. Which one of them (above) actually applies to Season 9?
I will put my opinion out and say it is the Undine, receiving new powers. Their new look and new ships speak to this.
What do you think? Did you know what the word accord meant? A lot of people go through life hearing words. They think they know what those words mean by the way they are used by a separate speaker, when in fact they have no idea what that specific words means.

They mean accord as in new fed klink accord. As per normal it will be horribly written, terribly acted... and the only reason the mission(s) will exist is to introduce a new grind.
dont use a dictionary to pick apart words like that, if you ever saw ds9 on tv and understood you would imediately know, khitomer accords which bound the federation and klingons into an alliance. since the first two failed, the "new accord" will obviously have to contain something so substantial that it ends this farcial border war.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
After the issue over the Risian Corvette, Cryptic made the move from Chevrolet to Honda.
Of course, New Accord will probably be about kdf-fed making peace but I can dream, right?
I'll have to go to Memory Alpha and read up. DS9 was very hard to watch for me. Voyager was even worse. I don't mean to offend fans of those shows. I just found them to be quite boring. I grew up watching TOS and the Feature Films that extended TOS into the theaters. And then there was a picture of a Klingon, in a Starfleet uniform, on the cover of the TV guide. What the hell is this, I asked aloud. It was Encounter at Farpoint that started TNG, and the rest is history.
/groan :rolleyes:
You may want to keep trying with them, both series feel like TOS at times, more so than TNG. DS9 really picks up in series 4 and VOY has great and good episodes spread out through its run, rather like TOS.
Oh and VOY only has three characters, just like TOS :P.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

And probably the introduction to the new Khitomer Accord, between them (either in S9 or the next). It is obvious they are leaning toward this way, they plan to stop the war between fed/KDF, and Khitomer was the place for the first accord (same name). Also, it was used by the Romulan Republic to make an alliance with both side.
And since the war was started over the problem of Undines, seeing the fed fight with the KDF against them might even convince J'mpok "the tool" he should work with them instead of playing the Iconians game.
On a side note, the Honda jokes made me laugh harder than it should.
I just quote because your signature is full of win. And so true.
OR, it could be the rather obvious coming end of the Fed/KDF war... I like #1 better though... Lots and lots of Xplosions.

They're keeping it but it will be mixed group against mixed group type thing.
This is much my expectation - I'm reading it as 'A New Khitomer accord' and that the new FE will bring an end to the war.

I think you are analyzing this a bit too much.
