A friendly reminder regarding spoilers! As always, the expanded Trek universe is in a period of major upheaval with the continuations of Strange New Worlds and Prodigy, the advent of new eras in gaming with the Star Trek Adventures RPG and Star Trek Online, as well as other eventful releases such as Section 31, the ongoing IDW Star Trek comic and spin-off Star Trek: Defiant. Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info). Also, please do not include details in the summary bar when editing pages and do not anticipate making additions relating to sources not yet in release. THANK YOU

Kindly Fool was the name given to Starfleet Captain David Rabin by some natives of the planet Obsidian, reflecting their opinion that, though he meant well, his efforts to bring new technologies to their tradition-bound world were ultimately bound to fail. Rabin was eventually able to engage these detractors and convince them that his efforts were not entirely foolish. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Forge)
