Why did they have children on their ship? Did any other species have children on their ships?

Crews took their families with them for reasons.
Tyler Reed
Borg did
Jonathan Richardson
It's not a military vessel, Starfleet's duties to defend the Federation is only part of its duties. It's also an exploratory and diplomatic vessel, and some of the crew are civilians.
Benjamin Miller
What non-Federation species would?
>Romulans: cringe-tier "dude spies lmao" schtick
>Klingons: cringe-tier "dude war lmao" schtick
>Ferengi: cringe-tier "dude business lmao" schtick
>Cardassians: "dude fascism lmao" schtick
The Federation is the only civilization whose ideology (peaceful exploration) allows for kids on their ships.

Which is retarded, by the way. Warships should be optimised for fighting and nothing else. Otherwise they're gonna get whooped by an enemy who means business.
Sebastian Rogers
But they get into a fight every week. If they're really a diplomatic and exploration ship they should have a military escort.
Eli Myers
It's like Hamas hiding weapons in schools, you can claim your enemies are evil child killers if they destroy the ship
Robert Reed
The Enterprise D was intended from the pilot to first and foremost be an exploratory and diplomatic ship. The fact that they get into hijinks with aggressive aliens so often is just kind of a meta issue. If you made the Enterprise D a warship from the beginning, it wouldn't really be TNG
Levi Moore
That can be explained by the Enterprise being a special flagship and a subject of propaganda. Basically "look, even their families and peaceful lives are safe and comfortable despite being in danger every other week"
Henry Flores
>flagship
There are no admirals aboard the enterprise. Checkmate, fanboi.
Luis Morales
Picard is someone who has turned down admiral positions and is an unofficial Commodore, other captains bow and scrape and take his orders for the most part.
Jonathan Baker
They don't call starfleet the pedoforce for no reason user.
Tyler Bell
Because science and shieeettt.
Jose Davis
it's easier to write a base under siege fighting episode every week then a diplomatic politicial thriller
Robert Taylor
Cooper Garcia
They were on extended exploration/research mission that wouldn't take them near earth for a long time, so naturally the crew would want their families with them.
That and there was a fuckton of empty space, so it's not as if they were a burden. The Galaxy class was a massive waste of resources.
Ethan Perez
Keeping children on board an exploratory military vessel was always so odd to me while watching TNG. Most episodes they faced some new danger that could kill everyone on the ship, but still kept the kids around.
Chase Cooper
>The Galaxy class was a massive waste of resources.
Take that back you fucking swine. The Galaxy class is the epitome of ship beauty.
Adam Reed
Human shields.
The Federation is fucking terrorists.
Klingon Empire never did anything wrong.
Hunter Flores
They were savages. They also had clothed women on their vessel... and that were allowed to speak!
Jordan Turner
Federation never had a resources problem. They built GIGANTIC space stations literally thousands of times larger than a Galaxy class ship, parked them in orbit above a planet because reasons.
Brandon Morales
Oh she looks good, no argument, but as far as practicality goes
>Too big to be a science ship
>Too many windows for proper armoring
>Handled like a drunk pig trying to fuck a squirrel
>The flagship of the federation was vastly under armed compared to her contemparires
>After Big D and Yamato, Starfleet realized it was a waste, so future Galaxies were built almost 60% empty
>Sovereign is objectively superior
Cameron Garcia
>The Galaxy class was a massive waste of resources.
USS Defiant fanboy pls leave.
Luis Edwards
It's a question of the best use of those resources. Those massive space stations were strategic assets that had shipyard repair facilities and served as FOB's for the federation.
As a ship, the Galaxy class was a white elephant.
Anthony Powell
Robert Smith
Kek, didn't even realize I posted the same pic as OP. Just look at this thicc qt. It's a design made by the most tactful artists. Not everything needs to focus 100% on efficiency because then you would only create one thing always and forever.
Don't listen to the nasty man baby girl. You are the best ship period. The zoomer Sovereign still losses to the Borg Cube and most other ships anyway.
Jason Phillips
within the setting bearing the title of Enterprise is what makes it the flag ship. consider the history of the ships that came before it in diplomatic matters.
Carson Williams
Jack Hill
it's fun to rewatch tng and everytime there is a red alert or the bridge shaking from an explosion just imagine the kids in the classroom ducking under their desks
>OKAY KIDS YOU KNOW THE DRILL
>warp reactor implosion in 4...3...
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Nathan Diaz
The canon answer is it’s not a warship. I get the argument that it gets into dangerous situations regularly. I guess people are so free in the federation that they’re allowed to put themselves in danger for the ability to explore the galaxy. I’m pretty sure they found jobs for a lot of the civilians. O’Brien’s wife was a teacher. That’s a cornerstone of being free. You’re also in danger.
Julian Hill
Because they went on 5+ year long missions
Joshua Lopez
Youre complaining about grains of sand. compared to these space stations is all I'm trying to say. Also these are parked next to perfectly good planets.
Jack Flores
I always wondered why ship services shut down on Friday at sundown and did not pick back up until Sunday morning.
Jace Murphy
Christian Mitchell
They should make a new show, that doesn’t suck, about a group of star fleet officers who grew up on starships.
Chase Morris
Also Starfleet is for people too bored of regular life. If you want to be safe, stay on your home planet.
Jayden Morales
The smart ass kid in the back row says "I wonder which of the 5 bridge crew will save us this week?"
Bentley Cruz
Kirk's Enterprise was better. It wasn't so spindly and fragile-looking.
Jordan Martinez
You will never see a naked woman.
Dylan Murphy
or you could establish a colony off world but there is a good chance starfleet will easily betray you to the cardassians
Ian Smith
Its not a war ship
This is explained multiple times, the galaxy class isn't particularly well armed and is full of engineering and science compartments
Landon Hernandez
oh god no, if they did it now it would be they were all bisexual genderqueers who also, somehow, know every martial art ever known in the entire galaxy, are proficient in it to such a degree no one can really harm them unless The Script says otherwise and death is never possible unless one commits the great sin of Salary Adjustment or Agent Failure
Nicholas Hernandez
Captain, the computer is put in maintenance mode. All recording equipment is shut down. Let's go to the civilian quarters. It's cunnytime!
Colton Clark
>excelsior mk2
i dont need to see a naked women after that
Jonathan Phillips
for me? it's C
Aiden Barnes
You will die.
Benjamin King
John Anderson
>I hope it's the nightcrew.
Ryder Allen
also, they put on little hats so no one will notice them
>He looked like the Captain
>but he was wearing this funny little hat
>he was obsessed with my feet
>told me if I was a good kid and did as I was told
>I would get a spinoff on Nickelodeon
Nathaniel Lopez
You’re right. Star Trek is dead. I guess Seth Macfarlane is the only person who gets it any more.
Jaxson Cooper
It is a sexy looking ship.
Cameron King
>sips raktajino
Ahhh, Intrepid class, now THERE'S a ship.
Hudson Lewis
We were so close to him having the reigns. What could have been...
Jose Martinez
reminder that the enterprise d had a dolphin crew
Grayson Powell
Ian Rogers
man DS9 is so tiny
Noah Sullivan
>species
excuse me, the federation has no defining species
