Writing the MACOs Into Starfleet.
The Military Assault Command Operations became a part of Star Trek:
Enterprise in season three. Not a division of Starfleet, they were
a United Earth military organization that had trained relentlessly
as soldiers, but had little actual battle experience outside of
simulations, though their technology and tactics were more
advanced. Rumor has it that after The United Federation of
Planets was founded, Starfleet turned towards science and
exploration, and the MACOs were likely no longer a good fit for
such missions. So what happened to them?
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi
Jackola are joined by special guest Richard Marquez of Earl Grey in
the Season Five Writers' Room to create a story about MACOs
integrating into Starfleet. We discuss big kitchens, MACO snack
habits, shag wall carpeting, and Romulans.
