Dude, there are so many places online you can get free insults from, I mean you are already here so why not post about the Ukraine war on lemmy.ml or mistake Star Trek for Star Wars or something.

One's got space magicians and the others got space wizards

  1. This is funny.

  2. As an avid fan of both, I'm not sure which is supposed to be which. Star Trek has all the pazzaz of a magician, psuedo science and technobable explainations. But it also has characters who are literally magical. Meanwhile, Star Wars has old people in secret societies performing rituals in robes - all very wizardly. However, in universe, their "magic" is very well understood, continuously studied, is testable, and even reproducable. They use their well established abilities to trick people, and that's very magician.

Is that the one with the gates deep in space? Deep gate 9 or something?

Look, they found a way to connect to faraway regions of space and shortcut the journey, and decided a facility was necessary to protect against hostile intrusions and be a hub. Also something about returning control to the natives. Religion / religious zealots bad.
