Talk:Maquis (Star Trek)

message: Is there any evidence in Roddenberry's works to show where he found the Maquis name?  Saying offhandedly that he used the WW2 model strikes me as speculative. --Eclecticology, Monday, June 3, 2002
Im pretty sure Roddenberry was dead by the time the maquis appeared in star trek.
Based on ST:VOY The Killing Game, which was set in WW2 France, they seem to have based the name on the French Maquis.  The Maquis debuted in The Maquis, Part 1 in 1994, after Gene Roddenberry's death in 1991. - Ke4roh 00:39, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: My recollection is that the Maquis was originally introduced on The Next Generation. If not, they were at least featured in several episodes concurrently with their appearance on DS9.  However, this article does not mention any link to the TNG series.-PK9 19:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Preemptive Strike(TNG), the only TNG ep in which the Maquis appeared, premiered on 5.16.94.  The Maquis part I, the first DS9 ep in which they appeared, premiered on 4.24.94.  So it would appear that they first appeared on DS9 three weeks before they appeared on TNG. Nightscream 01:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Regarding the origin of the inspiration of the phase "maquis":
* The STE says, "The name Maquis was used by members of the French underground in World War II." 
* DS9 companion reads the Maquis "was a name used for French freedom fighters during World War II"
* "A Vision of the Future" by Stephen Poe reads (i.e. third-party material, not stemming from a license), "The search for a twentieth-century parallel to the outlaw group's identity eventually lead to a band of French resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied France during World War II known as the Maquis."
* Star Trek 101 by Terry Erdmann reads, "They called themselves the Maquis, after members of the French underground who fought against the Nazis in World War II."
I can't find any reference in these texts to inspiration relating to the Spanish Maquis. If the editor can provide a specific quote from either licensed or third-party material substantiating such a claim, that's swell; otherwise, the assertion is unfounded. Yes, the groups share a name, but assertion a connection between the Star Trek group and the Spanish Maquis appears merely to be an inference. --EEMIV (talk) 22:31, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

message: > first introduced in the 1994 episode "The Maquis" of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and subsequently appearing in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager. 
This is incorrect because TNG first introduced the Maquis in Journey's End (Star Trek: The Next Generation) in March 1994, and before DS9 aired The Maquis (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) in April 1994, therefore they were introduced in TNG before DS9  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SemicolonExpected (talk • contribs) 18:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
