Ages of the Federation is a new total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. This mod takes place in the Enterprise and Original series eras, focusing on the conflict between the early Federation and Klingon Empire. A resurgent Romulan Star Empire, angry and still licking its wounds after their defeat to Earth and her allies waits in the shadows, ready to take advantage of any of misstep by either the warring powers. The Xindi, new to the galactic stage are also eager to forge their own path.
When Nichelle Nichols was considering leaving her role on Star Trek, Martin Luther King Jr. told her that she had the power to change minds around the world.
The name 'Uhura' is derived from the Swahili word meaning 'freedom'. In her role, Nichelle Nichols was a trailblazer at a time when many people were struggling for just that. That struggle continues, but Nichelle Nichols' portrayal of a black woman with aptitude, authority and boundless compassion was a pivotal turning point towards representing people like her as people of value.
Beyond those issues, Nichelle Nichols was an integral part of a dream that has inspired millions of people around the world for generations. This inspiration has led countless people into science, medicine, engineering, technology, and many other fields of noble service. That inspiration will continue to lead others to do so.
Her legacy shall endure through our progress as a people.
Rest peacefully, Nichelle.
Godspeed.
What a classy, boundary breaking woman. She will be missed.
Absolutly Legend!!! Live long and prosper
<3
Thank you very much for this remembrance, team <3
Well said.
I just watched a youtube video this morning about her recollection of MLK telling her that she can't leave Star Trek, and the importance of her staying and what it meant. I did not know she had passed. Rest in peace Nichelle.
