![]() I think the main issue with the spore drive is the writers themselves aren't too sure what it is or what to do with it. I think the knowledge should be suppressed, forgotten, and destroyed for the the stoic principles of harm reduction and non-interference. And can it truly be kept out of the hands of malevolent forces forever? What would happen if this technology did fall into the hands of the Klingons? Or somebody even worse? I should think that at least some Starfleet officers realize that not every fellow officer can be trusted with such power. How can you entirely trust someone who can instantly be anywhere, and then gone? Even if the Federation could be trusted to use such power benevolently, it would still make the UFP a huge target and generate resentment and suspicion from everyone they meet. ![]() The ability to reduce the distance between every point in the universe to zero is the kind of promethean technology that made the Iconians the target of annihilation. I think that's one possibility: that the mycelial network is somehow contaminated or otherwise rendered physically inaccessible.Īnother possibility that I prefer is the realization by Starfleet that the spore drive is simply too powerful a technology to be responsibly wielded by anyone, even if the problem of requiring damage to a sentient host can be solved.

This was largely due to their warrior traditions – a Klingon who was wounded was expected to be left to either survive through his own strength, die, or undergo the hegh'bat, a form of ritual suicide. Klingons had relatively little knowledge of their own biology and their medicine was very poorly developed. Some geneticists believed that the extra organs, notably the third lung, evolved to give Klingons greater stamina on the battlefield. They had twenty-three ribs, two livers, an eight-chambered heart, three lungs, and even redundant neural function as well as multiple stomachs. This allowed Klingons to survive severe injuries in battle. There was a great deal more multiple redundancy in their organs, a principle they called brak'lul. Internally, Klingon anatomy was markedly different from that of Humans.
