Eridani character dynamics map!!

(Just pretend the arrows all align 😭)

Also side note Marithyk isn’t introduced until season 3

Name signification of the Star Trek Eridani crew, P.1

Captain Saavik: Saavik is the first Vulcan woman introduced in Star Trek who's name did not follow the " T' " convention (The T' prefix being the contraction of the word T'sai, meaning "lady" in Vulkhansu).

That is due to the fact that her name is in fact a Romulan name, meaning "Little Cat" in Rhiannsu. The name Saavik does also exist in Vulcan, but is a traditionally male name coming from the words sa’ahkh-vik, meaning "From the well-war" and referring to the ancient conflicts around wells and water sources in the Forge.

Saavik is said to be of Spock's clan as of the time of ST: Eridani, and if we follow the clan name given to him in the novel Ishmael, her full name would be S'chn T'gai Saavik, with S'chn coming from the words s’khart-lan, meaning "from the captain" in Vulkhansu, and T'Gai, coming from the words t’sai gadzhai, meaning "lady of the feast". That usage has however yet to be seen in the Alpha Canon of Star Trek.

David James Marcus: David is a name of hebrew origin, meaning "To love" or "Beloved". It is worth of note that another Star Trek character shares this name, David McCoy, Leonard H. McCoy's father, and subsequently, Joanna McCoy's grandfather.

David Marcus' middle name, James, was first confirmed in the book Star Trek II: Biographies. That implies that despite Carol Marcus' wish to raise her son on her own, she still gave him his father's name as a middle name. The name James is of Hebrew and Latin origins, and has the meaning "supplanter", "seized-by-the-heel" and "may he protect".

Marcus is a latin name, meaning "Dedicated to Mars", the god of war, or "Warlike". It was greatly used in Roman history and survived beyond the Roman Empire.

Joanna Eleonora McCoy: The name Joanna is derived from Greek, Hebrew and Latin, and means "God is gracious". In-Universe, it was a Hall family name, and was ultimately chosen by Jocelyn.

Eleonora on the other hand, while continuing the tradition of weird McCoy's middle name, was chosen by Leonard, as his own grandmother was name Eleanor. Eleonora is a derived name coming from the Old Provençal French Aliénor, having among it's meaning "light", "brilliant" and "Merciful", and the name Aliénor is also descended from the Greek name Helen.

McCoy is a last name of Scottish and Irish origin, and is the anglicised version of "son of Aodh", a deity connected with fire.

Another Eridani post? Within 24 hours of the last one?

This is so awesome I’m freaking outtt

Concept art for an Eridani poster featuring the superior officers. It looked better in my head but it’s also 4 am and I really should be sleeping. so I can’t be sure how good this actually is because my eyes aren’t reliable narrators after 2am

I got a burst of energy and now I want to make so many posters for this series

@startrek-eridani

POOB HAS IT FOR YOU

A new series has warped to Poob -- Star Trek: Eridani is now available.

Follow @startrek-eridani for updates on the series, and start your 7 day free trial of Poob to watch.

This is where the fun begins, Saavik!

Is it better to die from the consequences of your own hubris, or to be forced to live with them?

This is a chart depicting David Marcus’ injuries post-botched-Genesis resurrection on Star Trek: Eridani.

SOPEK AND MALACHI FANART ON MY FEED IM GONNA FREAKKK ITS SO PERFECT OH MY GOD

Absolutely YES Sopek would so so show up in Malachi’s office and bother him but not at all consider it to be therapy and the DETAILSS this drawing has im so in love

Made another drawing involving the Eridani Crew… I have been looking at their bios one by one and in Dr. Cohen’s I saw the fact that Saavik and Sopek both refuse therapy and I can imagine Sopek finding time to talk to Malachi to try and understand human behaviors and Malachi being like “you do know that this is technically therapy” and Sopek being like “No, that’s not what this is” I think they would be good friends.

I love their designs and I love how Malachi’s Kippah matches his uniform

@startrek-eridani

I LOVE THIS SO MUCHHH

Another drawing for @startrek-eridani ! This time it’s Captain Saavik and her First Officer: Commander Kyral Ry’Anauk

Edit: I forgot to add images to the back screens so pretend that there is something there lol

Rb for the late crowd
