@Nasty Mango With battery powered marshmelons.

@Nasty Mango Snooka snooka snooooh, snooka snooooh snooooh snooooh!

And what do you do after you've havested these marshmelons?

@@ethzero We toast them!

On Nimbus III, marshmelon harvest YOU!

Space Sahara or Gobi Desert more like it

@@DocWolph Yeah, Aussie outback has MORE life in it!

😅😅😅 oh my god someone pls give us a Nimbus series filled with Aussies 😅😅😅

Oh thank shit, I was so confused.

@@radaro.9682 It's good to know I'm providing a valuable service :)

The fact that it has "Mossy" in the name tells us that it's as nice of a source of water as a stagnant slimy film-covered pond comes to mind with me. I can see people going there for a drink or a relieving dip, getting stopped by the stink and-or smell, and then the "water" itself reaching out to them and snatching them as snacks.

She definitely made the planet more atractive.

Too bad for her that the only guy close to cute is the Federation ambassador!

@@jordanodwyer6552 what you like the jolly klingon!

I think Australia has more life.

@@3Rayfire It does!

@Joshua Sharwood NONE of them have any clue!

Australia was essentially the breadbasket for all of the colonial world scum and as I see it nothing has changed.

Oh my god I love this 😅

Lower Decks would absolutely go here. It's a very obscure reference and it's cynical as hell; both of those fit that show's sense of humor to a T 😆

@jbwarner86 2 That would be a blast, I also would like to see it make a return on Strange New Worlds or Discovery.

@@daviddyster4145 ; In the case of _Strange New Worlds_ it could be with Pike & crew doing a secondary survey of the world for colonization after it's initial one in 2247. In the case of _Discovery_ it could still be a desolate wasteland or, given the status of the Milky Way in DIS season 3, ironically one of the most affluent regions in the galaxy; perhaps even becoming the new capital of the UFP is they want it to be on a planet again & don't choose Earth.

​@@occultatumquaestio5226 Now that could work for Discovery Season 4.

While I HATE any kind of nod to Discovery, it would be interesting if somewhere in those shifting sands, something like a somewhat functional Iconian gateway transit system would be uncovered, and the planet suddenly becomes VERY important, to everyone… because, you know, dilithium problems.

2256 - 57 is what he said

I heard "twenty two fifty six to fifty seven" and subtitles say "2256-57". 2:30

Wouldn't the Federation increase their presence on the planet? Neither power was in any position to object, so the Federation could have easily turned it into a base.

@@CaptainJZH They could but there's not much of a point. It was on the galactic map because of its strategic and diplomatic value. Since two of the three bordering powers cease to exist, the only thing left for federation to terraform the planet is for resources, which Nimbus III has none. It's not worth diverting resources any more as I think there are other neiboring star systems that can be used. If you can settle on M-class planet, why bother settle on L-class planet if it has no other value attach to it? Unless later in-universe they add more value to it.

@@songyani3992 True but who's to say the Klingons won't turn their backs on the Federation for like the third time and that the new Romulan government will be just as conniving as the old one?

@@CaptainJZH On point with Klingon，but since romulans eventually returned to Ni'Var through the reunification long before，one would assume that there would be no centralized Romulan government any more. As for Klingons，they may or may not parted ways with UFP，but who knows when or if that happened？This would be a plot point worth exploring

I'd have enjoyed the no palm fronds version very much :D

It does but it’s only during the winter event you get this nice fishing glove with which to punch the ice and strangle the insides of the fish with as you cart it off to the giant bowl in the middle of the pond

No vaults, no eridium, no sirens, no skags, no megacorporations with private armies, and most importantly, no Moxxi. Not much reason to stay there unless you really like sand.

Thats just what i was thinking

@@CheezyDee I stand corrected. Its apparently WORSE than Pandora.

@@CheezyDee Also, *insert "star wars sand joke" here*.

@@XanderKHD I'd take an enema if it got me with Padme

Two possible reasons they didn't fix it up. First, it was supposed to be a joint venture, but if the Feds are the only ones pulling their weight, then it sends the wrong message for them to just do it all for the other partners. So, they might have decided that terraforming would just be good latinum after bad, and more or less wrote the place off. Sucks to be the colonists stuck there, of course, but pulling them back out would sabotage diplomatic relations, and the needs of the many, right? Besides, the Federation always has a bottomless supply of naive colonists, so a few hundred write-offs are no real loss in the long run. Second, the Federation might not actually have much in the way of good terraforming technology. I mean, Mars had been inhabited for generations, but even after centuries of work, it was still too cold for any agriculture outside of sealed domes, so the surface was still a dusty, rusty red. Protomatter would do the job, but the political situation would never allow it. Given the unstable mess of relations between the Klingons, Empire, and Federation - terms like "powder keg" come to mind - one side inviting a group of outsiders the other partners have never heard of, to set off protomatter devices on an inhabited world, seems like the sort of recipe to set off another three-way war.

@@tba113 The Lukari have protomater technology well advanced of any of the other Alliance powers, and have used it successfully on uninhabited worlds. We already know they can, the only question remains is whether they should. The Alliance powers in the STO timeline are fairly close knit toward the end of the Hur'q war. Getting them to the table to discuss it at the very least wouldn't be a problem. The colonists would have to agree, obviously. But we're offering them a chance at a better home, so it's just a matter of up-selling. From a story perspective, it might even be their idea. The only non-allied power that might have any interest or claim to Nimbus would be the Romulan Star Empire remnant, and the Tal Shiar. What's left of them anyway. And it might get contentious on account of the history during the evacuation. But they got caught with their pants down at Installation 18, so they're pretty much evicted now. There's also the Orion Syndicate, but they're a criminal organization without any real claim to the planet or political bargaining power. The main challenge there is convincing them to leave before the wave. The main thing stopping them is the presence of the colonies or any other existent life forms, both indigenous and invasive. The Lukari would probably refuse to proceed as long as there is any fauna remaining on the planet, and the Federation would probably back them on that point. If there are too many colonists and other complex life forms to adequately round up and temporally relocate or transplant to other worlds, then the whole deal is a wash. But if there's few enough of them that it's not a complete logistical nightmare, then it might just be within the realm of possibility.

@@Peregrine57 Well, let's just not tell the Tal Shiar about it. They can stay in their underground installations when everybody else sets off that protomatter.

@@tba113 You make the UFP sound the the Imperium of Man.

@@Peregrine57 "Tightly knit"? The Klingons figured it was a better use of everyone's time to kick the hell out of the Federation rather than tell them they had an Undine problem, and when the Hur'q showed up out of their own legends, they shrugged and told the Feds "Not my problem." The Romulans seem to spend their time dreaming up new and exciting ways to sabotage everything, even - especially - the efforts of their own kind, and the Federation would be rightly hesitant to show off something as dangerous as protomatter in action to anyone who might leak it to the Tal Shiar. Still, I agree: getting them to the table to discuss it would likely not be hard. Getting them to _agree_ to the project, on the other hand... The Lukari were a Starfleet first-contact less than a year before the Hur'q war. The Federation might know their track record with protomatter, but there's no reason to believe the Klingons or Romulans do. The Lukari are so new on the galactic stage that the other powers might not accept the Federation's word that the Lukari know what they're doing. Given how the first 1/3 or so of the Hur'q war was spent trying to stop the Tzenkethi from reformatting world after world with protomatter bombs, claims about the Lukari being able to use the stuff safely would understandably be a tough sell. Internally, Klingon objections might be that having a miserable totally-not-a-prison outlet to dump their undesirables on is awfully handy, or that improving conditions on Nimbus would rob them of their chance at redemption through suffering. Publicly, they might say their fleet has better things to do than act as a hotel while renovations are going on, since making enough ships available to host thousands of colonists for weeks would involve a _lot_ of fleet resources. The Romulans might make the same claim: after all, they didn't have enough ships to save much of their own homeworld's population. They certainly don't have enough to spare for some backwater that isn't even in their territory, particularly after the devastation of the Undine, Iconian, 2nd Dominion, and Hur'q Wars all back-to-back. They might be fine with terraforming in principle, but would likely expect the Federation to handle all the logistics, especially since they would claim the Feds owe them for not helping out the last time Romulans needed help with a planetary evac. That means Starfleet gets stretched thin providing transports and accommodations for tens of thousands of colonists, and we all know how that sort of thing usually ends up.

To be fair, the location in STO helps make sense of the Enterprise trying to get to the center of the galaxy. (As if anything in that movie made sense.)

@@goldenknight578 lol, this is true. I also thought that Romulus was farther east than it appears in the game.

@@goldenknight578 Good point, I'd also point out that it might also be possible that it is near Klingon territory but that it is hard to visualize that in STO because the sector space map is more-or-less 2D while actual space, and therefore the territories of Star Trek's various civilizations, is 3D. Of course, I could be wrong about that, I'm not an expert in interstellar cartography, but that's always the head-canon I use to explain things when maps of the Star Trek universe contradict the information we are told about a planet's location in the shows or in STO.

@@antoniabenson5165 it's also entirely possible it USED to be close to Klingon Territory, and the Empire's territory just got pushed down from it.

@@antoniabenson5165 Considering how hard it is for some people to think in 3D, you make a very good point.

not a fan of #5. all the even ones are the best. 2 and 6 are the best and can stand on there own to people that aren't even star trek fans, they're that good. i guess out of the bad odd numbered star treks, it's the best option. 1,3 , and 5 just pale when compared to 2, 4, and 6. wrath of kahn and undiscovered country are so good.

Moss.

There probably are plants off by the coasts - I mean, there's got to be a reason it's called the Mossy Sea.

Blame it on Shatner. He's the one who came up with Nimbus.

You mean like Bajor did? Because 'stable wormhole' is another way to spell 'money.' Or at least 'value' if the word 'money' sets your teeth on edge. You'd run straight from 'shithole because nobody cares' to 'shithole because everybody cares too much.' Bajor didn't immediately turn into something crazy because the closest thing to a rival power in the area were the Cardassians, who had just got done learning that the only reason their war with the Federation took as long as it did is because the Federation didn't much notice that there was a war. So not much of a rival.

@@boobah5643 Well... That's in an arc also. Powers from both ends (it opens up to another galaxy) compete for the wormhole.

If imagination manifests would the planet itself not be a terraformed paradise?

@@wingedfish1175 No, because *we* don't think of it as paradise. We think of it as a cruel irony.
