Question:
Articles of the Federation makes it pretty clear that each Federation Member has only one councillor, as do numerous other novels, such as Bajor: Fragments and Omens. Why the reference to there being two councillors? -- Sci 06:38 UTC 20 November 2005
- I think this may refer to Vulcan's overlapping councilors. T'Latrek is marked as having served from 2296 to 2380, while T'Nira served during 2364. There's got to be a less drastic way to handle this though. T'Latrek may have stepped aside briefly and then resumed her post. This would allow her to be "a stable point of logic on the Council for over 80 years," while still acounting for T'Nirea. I'm going to edit it to reflect that pending an alternate solution. --Chops 20:39, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I figure that we have three possible options. One is to simply assume that T'Nira only existed in an alternate continuity from those of the novels (in the same way that the novels now assume that there was no President of United Earth and thus place Starfleet: Year One into an alternate continuity). Another option is to assume that T'Latrek was briefly replaced, as you suggest. A third option is to assume that T'Latrek may have been incapacitated in some form for a time and that T'Nira was actually a Federatioin Councillor Pro Temp -- like the Presidet Pro Temp of the Federation, just there temporarilly until the regular Councillor got back on her feet. I'd vote for T'Nira being a temporary substitute myself. -- Sci, 5 Dec 2005 09:24 UTC
