What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Since so much effort was put into just a few DS9 episodes...

...how about expanding things even more? In the DS9 video game "The Fallen", there was a great arc with Evil Orbs being on the station. The dearly departed Majel Barrett is now of course gone, but in the novels, Lwaxana led a resistance movement on Betazed during the Dominion occupation that could be flashbacked on.

    How about clarifying your thread title a bit more instead of it being ... clickbait. Thanks.

    As far as I know, novels - and building on them - are off limits for multiple reasons. There's licensing issues and a likelihood of CBS kicking stuff out because it's not canon.

    All of the novels are not canon. They never have been, neither have the games. The reason STO dosn't use them is because it wants to tell it's own story and not the novel's stories.​​

    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.

    Exactly, otherwise we'd all be sitting around asking where our Fek'lhr class science vessel is and why the path to 2409 doesn't mention unity station. Or how could the borg still exist because they were erased from existence in that one book. Etc. etc.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.
