'''[[Nick Locarno|Nicholas "Nick" Locarno]]''' was a male Human who lived during the late-24th century. Following his expulsion from Starfleet Academy for getting a fellow cadet killed in a botched Kolvoord Starburst, he eventually moved to New Axton where he began operating as a civilian pilot for hire.

Over the next decade, his resentment towards Starfleet festered so much that he conspired to found an independent space exploration organization called Nova Fleet, consisting of starships stolen with the aid of lower deckers he talked into mutinying against their captains.

However, when he attempted to recruit Beckett Mariner, she refused to cooperate and fled with a Genesis Device he had planned to use as a deterrent. His erratic behavior as a result of her actions ended up alienating his followers and ultimately resulted in his death when he was caught in the device's detonation.

When you are commenting on a nomination, please take the time to read the entire article before you decide whether to support or oppose the nomination. If there are no objections posted after ten days of being listed on this page, then the article may be added to the list of featured articles. If there are objections, and no consensus is reached within 20 days of the original nomination's posting, then the article is removed from the list of candidates. Optionally, a [[MediaWiki:fac|notice]] that the article has been nominated as a featured article candidate may be added to the article by inserting <nowiki>{{msg:fac}}</nowiki> at the top of the article.

Once everybody's finished tweaking this article, it ought to be a good candidate for an FA. Spanning two series, lots of background info, and an apparent end to his character arc. -[[User:LauraCC|LauraCC]] ([[User talk:LauraCC|talk]]) 21:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Self-nomination. IMO a great historically-oriented article providing in-depth analysis of the ''causes and events'' of the conflict. -- [[User:MinutiaeMan|Dan Carlson]] 19:50, 27 May 2004 (CEST)

Memory Alpha  AboutPolicies and guidelinesFA policiesFA criteria → Featured article nominations

This page is for the nomination and discussion of articles that may be potentially included in Memory Alpha's list of featured articles. A featured article is an especially well-written, informative, and comprehensive article that covers all available information on a subject. If you feel one of our articles meets this criteria, you may suggest it here in accordance with the nomination policy. For a list of articles previously nominated, see the archive.

To bring up a current featured article for review, please see the review procedure.

To nominate an article, start a new discussion under "Nominations without objections" with a heading named for the article you want to suggest. Provide an appropriate picture and a two- to three-paragraph summary of the article. This is usually the article's lead-in if possible, and should not contain any links, except to the article itself. This is what will be displayed on the main page and in the portals if the nomination is successful. Followed that by a brief reason why you feel the article should be featured.

Sample format:

=== <article> ===
[[File:<image>|thumb|<caption>]]
'''[[<article>]]''' <summary>
----
<reasoning> - <signature>

Once this is done, a notice that the article has been nominated as a featured article candidate should be added to the article in question by inserting {{fan}} at the top of the page, above any other templates except the article type template.

When you are commenting on a nomination, please take the time to read the entire article before you decide whether to Support or Oppose the nomination. Nominations with objections should be moved to the appropriate section until they are resolved.

When supporting or opposing an article, please use a bullet point (by adding a * before your comment) without any indent so these will be easy to find later. General comments should be indented as usual, and, as always, please sign your nominations and comments with "~~~~".
