Starfleet Eastern

The thirteenth Star Trek movie was released in 2016, Star Trek Beyond, which continued a series of film releases based on the Star Trek (1966-69) television series with a cast that supplied most of the crew of the starship Enterprise in the first movie of the franchise, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), also starring new crew member, shaven headed Persis Khambatta, 1965's Miss India, as Lieutenant Ilia. From what transpires in the plot of the movie, the feminine name, `Ilia`, probably derives from the Greek poet Homer`s Ilium, that is, the city of Troy, as depicted in his poetic narrative of the siege of the Trojan city by the Greeks in his Iliad (760-10 B.C.), so Lieutenant Ilia represents the threat to civilization, culture and art posed by the alien, which is usually extrapolated in science fiction as invading Earth from the planets amongst the stars above. However, as the siege of Troy illustrates, the huge hollow wooden horse that the Greeks leave outside Troy, and that is taken in by the Trojans to where the Greeks emerge to capture the city and enslave the host wombs of the women for homosexuality in pederasty, is the Greek `model` for the spread of war.
