Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.

If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

My headcanon of Sec31, is that the Federation hasn't figured out what to do about sociopaths yet so they do what any government does to its sociopaths: tell them they're the good guys and make them spies. Except the Federation is actually evolved beyond that so they just make Sec31 teams chase each other, each team thinking it is chasing some existential threat when really its just another team of sec31 chasing some threat, thinking they are being pursued by the enemy

Also, presumably/hopefully, all of this is happening safe inside a holodeck.

Didn't they mention some mental cure in Dagger of the Mind? (Sorry, it's been a long time since I've seen TOS.)

You could be right! That's why it's headcanon, I don't have to check against actual canon

I watched about the first 15 minutes of the Section 31 show and gave up when instead of being introduced to the best minds in the Federation that perform successful massive galaxy-spanning clandestine missions, we get Star Trek version of Suicide Squad with quirky misfits. The writers squandered the 15 years of Star Trek shows telling us about how good Section 31 in about 5 minutes of screen time on this one-shot show.

So you have fallen prey to their previous propaganda on how good they are... nah, scrap it, let'd not retcon this at all. I might have made it a little further than you into the movie, I absolutely don't recall because it was so bad. This is the first Star Trek media I actually stopped watching, for me this never ever happened before.
