The Fat Ones

Description

The Galaxy-class starship is perhaps one of the most recognisable in the history of Star Trek. For this competition, your task is to write a poem using information from the Galaxy-class wiki page as a reference point.

Submissions for this competition should take the form of an acrostic poem. This is a short poem where the first letters spell out something relevant to the poem, often the subject matter at hand. The most famous example is Edgar Allen Poe’s Elizabeth.

Example:

Giants of the stars,
Architects of exploration,
Luxurious carpets underfoot,
Adventures unending through time and space.
Xenobiology always offline,
Yearning for knowledge.

G-A-L-A-X-Y
