Have you considered Denobulans? Sure, they have that pesky 6-day hibernation each year, but the rest of the time they need only a little sleep. And rumor has it that the hibernation can be reduced to a minimum of 2 days.
Thanks a lot, this will really help me. Four suddenly unemployed ferengis waiting on drozana for work now. At least they have off time now, but no idea what they will do.
Joyride. Oh, sure, they call it "going on patrol", but nothing says "man, I have power" than flying around in a customized Galaxy-class like you're king of the world.
Then, some jerk decides to come around and pick a fight and you go and put them in their place and downtime's over.
I should mention my KDF captain, P'intac Xobrettil Elophctarcs. (IKS Cat Hunter, Kar Fi Battle Carrier) He likes sampling Caitian food... then critcizing it and proclaiming how much more superior Ferasan cuisine is. And he likes making Ferasan food. Of course.... his crew has much to complain about his cooking (despite being Klingons).
*sings* "I like Gammera! He's so neat!!! He is full of turtle meat!!!"
"Hah! You are doomed! You're only armed with that pathetic excuse for a musical instrument!!!" *the Savage Beast moments before Lonnehart the Bard used music to soothe him... then beat him to death with his Fat Lute*
Sa'Sogh Crell, Of the House of Jev, spends his rare day off dreaming of the day he can comfortably retire with enough resources to begin his life's dream.
Becoming Qo'NoS' first fashion designer.
One of his most chershed family heirlooms is an autographed picture of Tim Gunn. Crell lives for the day when he can walk the streets of the First City of the Empire and see colors and clothes not solely inspired by last month's extended field exercises and camoflage. His first order of business? Designing proper Xena: Warrior Princess-style boots for all the Orion women swanning about in flip flops. I mean, really? Who wears sandals in the snow? In those colors?
His courage will change the world.
A six year old boy and his starship. Living the dream.
Imperial administration. Being the ruler of a cluster of planets means you never get a real break. However, he does enjoy walking around his palace gardens and reading a book by the fire place as means of unwinding.

We're pretty pressed for space on our little tactical vessel, but Cards against the Alpha Quadrant is great fun. We just got the "Dead Changeling" expansion pack and I've been itching to use it.

May this mighty warrior be victorious! By the blood of Kahless, it shall be a glorious battle!
umm..errr...guys? You do know I was kidding right? Although what you've added is abso-frakkin'-lutely hilarious.
You know what would really be awesome? A TRIBBLE Klingon. Or a Klingon who just wanted to be an interior decorator.
Oh, man, I can see it now. Sir Ian McKellen as the captain of a Klingon warship, flirting with Worf.
Or a Klingon drawing up plans for a "beautiful, modern" Great Hall, and being told to add more swords, giant statues, and murals of great Klingon victories.
This one....could not handle the stress. It jammed making a perfect cross stitch.
*lays it down in front of everyone before roaring to the heavens*

"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius

That actually would make a very interesting episode. How would Klingons (or the entire Star Trek Universe) react to homosexuality. Doctor Who touches on this by showing that the universe doesn't really care, cuz you know, people are doing it cross species so what's a gender anyway?
But I would love to know how the Federation does with that sort of dynamic. Has the Federation transcended homophobia and traditional relationships? I should write these down and go to a Trek convention one of these days and ask.

I know, right? The Mirror Universe had Intendant Kira, and TRIBBLE versions of Ezri Tigan and Leeta, but the Prime Universe has had no canonical homosexuals so far (to my knowledge). This needs to be answered. BranFlakes, if you're watching, can you get us a TRIBBLE NPC for the next season/set of FEs/whatever?

Well, to be fair, we may have already seen homosexual characters in the series, but we never noticed because they act no different than any other person. If they add a homosexual NPC, then they'd have to find some reason to make the character openly admit to being TRIBBLE. Not a lot of reasons for someone to proclaim their sexual preferences without it being too invasive. I would rather just see an episode or webisode where the aliens see a homosexual couple and inquire about it. Maybe they get offended because it's new and they've never seen it before. Maybe they just get curious about it and make misunderstandings. But the way the Federation speaks about it is at the writer's discretion. We don't want some ugly overly flamboyant stereotype to ruin the character. It should be a solid, respectable, well rounded character who happens to be TRIBBLE, and not just a TRIBBLE character.

Good point. Get Sir Ian McKellen. I saw him last night in Waiting for Godot (live!) with Sir Patrick Stewart, and his character was clearly TRIBBLE, but not flamboyantly so.
Basically, his character (who was heavily modeled on both Gandalf and Sir Ian McKellen, in what I feel was a wise move by the director) behaves fairly normally for a man in his situation, but also isn't afraid to grab Sir Patrick Stewart's buttocks when he gets the chance.
That's the kind of guy we need--TRIBBLE and open about it, but not the stereotypical drag queen (not that there's anything wrong with being a drag queen).
Alternatively, break the 4th wall and have George Takei come in to play himself. He'd be perfect.
Besides, his wedding album, where both grooms are in white suits and are feeding each other cake--is the cutest thing I have seen in a loooooooooooooong time. And his fricking VOICE, man. I love George Takei's voice.

Thanks a lot, this will really help me. Four suddenly unemployed ferengis waiting on drozana for work now. At least they have off time now, but no idea what they will do.
PS: Dont expect to be payed for this hint.
