Note: Yes, I got permission from a mod to create a new thread for the following reasons: 1) The last OP was not in SFD, and 2) I want to be able to update the OP, not bury updates in subsequent pages.
The passing of Anton Yelchin, or Chekov in the new Star Trek films, was tragic as it was unexpected and sudden. A masterful Chekov, a natural heir to Walter Koenig, his absence has left the fandom in mourning, and we believe the STO community should gather in remembrance of a life cut short far, far too short.
Walter Koenig has this to say about Yelchin after hearing the news:
With this in mind, Starfleet Dental has decided to organize and host an Anton Yelchin Celebration of Life event tomorrow (Thursday, July 21st) evening at 7:30 pm EDT on Bajor. A life -- especially a life so full of energy and spirit -- should be celebrated, not mourned, has decided to make this public event a celebration, not simply a memorial. We are not content to stand around, hands in pockets, feeling sorry ourselves as fans, and for the loss of life; no, we must jubilate over the man Yelchin was, both as an individual and for his impact on the Trek franchise.
Starfleet Dental strongly believes in IDIC, and thus we don't adhere to a "right" and "wrong" way to mourn. Some might come hoping for a moment of reflection and somber rumination -- let them come. Some will come to dance and celebrate a man -- let them come. Some will come to reminisce over what the actor, the role, has meant to them -- let them come. We accept everyone as they are.
Additionally, along with the celebration, there will be a giveaway. There will be trivia, a couple contests, and chances to win prizes, including: 15x plasmonic leeches, tholian tarantula, kelvin intel dreadnought, space and ground traits, risa wear, random goodies, and, the grant prize of the night: a kelvin heavy command cruiser.
Another colleague of mine, Jojo@lagomorphic, lord of the Nerds of Prey Public Service channel, will be holding a side event in which he will give away hundreds of upgrade kits!
CAN'T MAKE THE EVENT? WRONG TIME ZONE? AT WORK?
Check out the details of the FORUMS-ONLY contest in the next post; there's no reason not to join in the celebration just because you can't make the event!
Captains, we hope to see many of you there! I'll update the OP with information AND the name of the official event chat channel as we move closer to the beginning of the event.
Live Long and Prosper,

"What I learned that day was how bright and sensitive he was. I walked away thinking – this is a good person. My heart goes out to his mother and father. I know what you're going through."

To enter all you need to do is find Jojo and do a dance for Jojo to cheer him up. Jojo will be somewhere at the memorial.
Jojo sad. Please cheer up Jojo.
If everybody followed that logic, you'd starve to death.
How about those TV dinners? When lightning strikes, the mashed potatoes go out.
No one likes mashed potatoes.
Like back in the days like Ahmed
i remember the grind
The Grind too be a KDF
Tearing it up like Das EFX
Getting my first BOP was like damn finally
But look at all of us today!
Got Kelvin weapons and ships!
Smacking the borg with 100k hits
Why because we are the few the proud the Chekov's
Coming up just like a lowly Hova
machine gun flow now we're Kings of STO
With Known Name
Earn those pips and rep it for kelvin timeline!
STO has a drink up! sip up too a missed man
whatever you believe i'll see you there man
* Lets here it for Checkov! STO where we have all have smiled and had some fun*
WELCOME TO STAR TREK!!
Mashed potatoes has always been one of my favorite foods. I guess that makes me weird.
Right next to Pine, but I'll be Shat forever
I'm the new Ryan, and, since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yea, they love me anywhere I
used to cop in Risa,
All of my Risians right there up in Risa,
Pull me back to that Romulas, took it in my inbox,
U.S.S. Enterprise
Catch me in the galley like a Neelix wippin' pastry's
Cruisin' down the gallaxy, off white Galaxy
Flyin' so slow, but Club 47 from ESD
Me, I'm out that Starfleet Academy, home of that boy Bones
Now I live on a space billboard and I brought my Klingons with me
Say whattup to Spock, still sippin' Vulcan Ale
Sittin' holodeckside, hoverboard and sticks give me high five
Homie I be spike'd out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from
*Chorus*
In New Romulus,
Technologically advanced jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New Romulus
These skies will make you feel brand new
Big plasma beams will inspire you
Let's hear it for New Rom, New Rom, New Rom
*Chorus*"
R.I.P. Anton Yelchin
Dead Cardasians is what the fertilizer is made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in Bajor
The orange skies will make you feel brand new
The Orb of Possiblities will inspire you
Let's hear it for Bajor, Bajor, Bajor...
Now that you left bajor....
You can go visit DS9
Goto the HoloDeck on your own time.
Even have some bloodwine.
Theres nothing you can't do.
You can even punch Q.
Now your back at Bajor.....
*Chorus*
R.I.P. Mr. Yelchin
Yeah, Imma up at Sol,
Now Im down on Vulcan,
Right next to Earth,
But I’ll be Cap forever,
I’m the new Cap Kirk,
And since I made it here,
I can make it anywhere,
Yeah they love me everywhere,
I used to patrol Azure,
All of my ships
Right there up on transwarp,
Brought me back to that Tribble Land,
Took it to my starbase,
Three Dyson Sphere Street,
Catch me in the fight like a Chef whipping Borg,
Cruising down Dyson Spheres,
Off white Konnie,
Warping so slow but Warp Drive is from Utopia,
Me I’m up at ‘Doria,
Home of that boy Shon,
Now I live on starships,
And I brought my Guns with me,
Say wat up to Quinn, still reading PADDs
Sitting starside Planets and Bases give me high fives,
T’Nae I be spiked out, I can trip a Keesner,
Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from…
Star Trek,
Untold Space where dreams are made of,
There’s nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in Star Trek!,
These ships will make you feel brand new,
The stars will inspire you,
Lets here it for Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek
Poor Jojo, but I'm sure Jojo will have lots of new friends by the end of this!
