Ensign Terrance Riley, tactical department 

Son of Kevin and Niamh Riley, Terrance Riley was born in 2274 in San Francisco, but spent most of his summers in Donegal when he was growing up. As a teen and even a young adult, he was a bit embarrassed by his father’s big personality, but grew to be more accepting of his heritage and family. 

During his time at the Academy, he often was Sopek’s “human studies club” fact checker, not by will but rather due to the Vulcan’s insistence. A meek and mild mannered boy, he tended to be pushed around easily. Despite a certain annoyance with Sopek’s attitude, the Vulcan also defended him from bigger bullies in the optic of “conserving the club’s fact checker”, which created a certain respect between the two. His demeanor came in great part from growing up learning not to complain about things and not asking for help, as he has many siblings. His interactions with Sopek inadvertently taught him to stand up for himself. 

As a tactical officer, he was a very quick thinker, and easily came up with strategies on the spot. Captain Saavik often liked to hear his ideas in times of crisis. 

He became an ensign in the tactical department at 22 years old on the Eridani for the ship’s five year mission in 2296.

Name signification of the Star Trek Eridani crew, P.1

Captain Saavik: Saavik is the first Vulcan woman introduced in Star Trek who's name did not follow the " T' " convention (The T' prefix being the contraction of the word T'sai, meaning "lady" in Vulkhansu).

That is due to the fact that her name is in fact a Romulan name, meaning "Little Cat" in Rhiannsu. The name Saavik does also exist in Vulcan, but is a traditionally male name coming from the words sa’ahkh-vik, meaning "From the well-war" and referring to the ancient conflicts around wells and water sources in the Forge.

Saavik is said to be of Spock's clan as of the time of ST: Eridani, and if we follow the clan name given to him in the novel Ishmael, her full name would be S'chn T'gai Saavik, with S'chn coming from the words s’khart-lan, meaning "from the captain" in Vulkhansu, and T'Gai, coming from the words t’sai gadzhai, meaning "lady of the feast". That usage has however yet to be seen in the Alpha Canon of Star Trek.

David James Marcus: David is a name of hebrew origin, meaning "To love" or "Beloved". It is worth of note that another Star Trek character shares this name, David McCoy, Leonard H. McCoy's father, and subsequently, Joanna McCoy's grandfather.

David Marcus' middle name, James, was first confirmed in the book Star Trek II: Biographies. That implies that despite Carol Marcus' wish to raise her son on her own, she still gave him his father's name as a middle name. The name James is of Hebrew and Latin origins, and has the meaning "supplanter", "seized-by-the-heel" and "may he protect".

Marcus is a latin name, meaning "Dedicated to Mars", the god of war, or "Warlike". It was greatly used in Roman history and survived beyond the Roman Empire.

Joanna Eleonora McCoy: The name Joanna is derived from Greek, Hebrew and Latin, and means "God is gracious". In-Universe, it was a Hall family name, and was ultimately chosen by Jocelyn.

Eleonora on the other hand, while continuing the tradition of weird McCoy's middle name, was chosen by Leonard, as his own grandmother was name Eleanor. Eleonora is a derived name coming from the Old Provençal French Aliénor, having among it's meaning "light", "brilliant" and "Merciful", and the name Aliénor is also descended from the Greek name Helen.

McCoy is a last name of Scottish and Irish origin, and is the anglicised version of "son of Aodh", a deity connected with fire.

Idk if this has been done before but

Alright, I’ve finally gotten around to doing some fanart for “One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat” by @android-and-ale of Selarie and Jim- if you haven’t read this story, I HIGHLY recommend you do!! It’s got comedy, angst, sexy Vulcan OCs, a great plot, and so much more! I hope I’ve done slight justice to the Vision, including Jim’s silly little shortened robes lol. I frankensteined some Vulcan script to make the word “dorli”, or “honorable” for Selarie’s robes.

More MCR art don’t question the slogan ok I don’t know why I wrote that either

Hey guys so this is a project my friend @purple-iris has been working on for a bit (with some minor contributions from myself), it’s basically a “lost media” tv show of Captain Saavik and her crew serving aboard the U.S.S Eridani getting into all kinds of adventures! There’s been 4 seasons worth of episodes plots outlined for trekkies to use as prompts for Trek fanfiction or artwork or, well, anything really! There’s a lot more to come, including posts about the plot of the show, descriptions of the characters, some artwork (expect some fanart from me pretty soon), so stay tuned if you’re interested in learning more!

I love how Sopek is like giving the ultimate middle finger to his mother and father by doing the Starfleet Thing. That’s so cunty 😜
