10 Star Trek Events OTOY & The Roddenberry Archive Should Explore Next

10. The Tomed Incident

A tale as old as Tomed itself, this is a frequently discussed topic on TrekCulture. The Tomed Incident, depicted on the page in Serpent Among The Ruins by David R. George III, is a pivotal moment in Star Trek history, though is also one that seems many miles away from appearing on-screen.

The incident was the catalyst for the Treaty of Algeron, a monumental moment in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Captain John Harriman, formerly of the Enterprise-B, and Starfleet Intelligence engineered a false flag operation that effectively forced the Romulan Star Empire to the negotiating table.

Depicting it as a short film comes with challenges - there's a lot of context to cram into a short space of time. However, so much can be done with a look, a line of text, and some well placed pictograms on a screen. Alan Ruck could easily employ the facial masking technology designed by OTOY to appear closer to the age his character was in Star Trek: Generations, although almost as many years have passed in the real world as had between the Enterprise-B's maiden voyage and the Tomed Incident.

For an event of such galactic import, this seems like a wonderful option to explore.
