Seven Mysteries of Star Trek by We Travel By Night


1. Where did the planet killer come from?
2. What happened at Axanar?
3. What happened to the remains of the Genesis planet after SFS? Why wasn't another attempt at the Genesis project made?
4. What happened to Maltz?
5. What was Picard doing between the loss of the Stargazer and taking command of the E-D?
6. What happened to the bluegills?
7. What happened between Guinan and Q?


1. I'm not fond of the idea that the Preservers built them to use against the Borg, frankly I'm not fond of the laziness of "The Preservers did it" or the idea that the Borg have been around for that long.
2. Ignoring the race seen in Enterprise, I'm not fond of the simple "it was a battle against the Klingons" explanation. It seems rather simplistic.
3. I'm interested in the theory one of the novels proposed-it wasn't the protomatter that was the problem, it was a side effect of the Genesis Device trying to make a planet out of a nebula when it was never designed to do that. As for why it was never attempted again, I'm going to assume that the Klingons insisted that the technology be banned for everyone, combined with greater warp speeds allowing for easier colonization of existing planets.
4. "He killed himself" always seemed like an easy cop out. I prefer the story that he helped improve the translation of the Klingon language.
5. The novels are full of stories set during this era. My only problem is that more of it should've been mentioned in canon, in particular important archeology finds.
6. Once again the novels covered the bluegills rather well.
7. This is one that really should've been followed up on.
