Star Trek: Articles of the Federation: Difference between revisions

* [[Character Filibuster]]: Councillor Bera chim Gleer of Tellar has never had a speech on the council floor go shorter than forty-five minutes...and that was when he had a cold. Usually it's twice that, minimum.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Many. Most significantly to the first two novels of the [[Star Trek Titan]] series and the [[Star Trek a Time To]] series, which introduced President Bacco and set the political stage for this novel.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Sivak.

* [[Democracy Is Bad]]: Apparently, the Tzenkethi Coalition believes this, at least in terms of where the Federation goes wrong. The degree to which their leaders' moral indignation is genuine, and the degree to which they are simply trying to maintain the Tzenkethi caste system for selfish purposes, is unclear. It probably varies from leader to leader. Certainly the "evils" of Federation democracy make a convenient scapegoat when things go wrong for the Coalition.

* [[Suicide Attack]]: The Reman crew of ''Vkruk'', against Outpost 22.

* [[Total Eclipse of the Plot]]: In the dominant native religion of Lembatta Prime, a solar eclipse is a sacred event. The planet shuts down entirely during an eclipse, forcing President Bacco to postpone her state visit.

* [[The Unpronounceable]]: Ex-President Thelian's full name is Thelianaresth th'Vorothishria. Say it five times, fast.

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Balduk thugs carrying naked Trills through hotel lobbies is carefully ignored, at least when the Balduks are hired by local crime lord Ihazs.
