In Star Trek, the Tellarites (a porcine species) are renown for their engineering prowess. The Pigonians here seem more like the Pakleds, the “mentally-challenged” slow-warpers of the Trek franchise.
In the Dark Ages farmers kept pigs to root for truffles and other fungus and to alert the household of predators like wolves and bears.
One stormy night during the reign of King Mieszko I, the royal swine hutch was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The pigs locked inside were roasted. The aroma was amazing. Indescribable. Word spread far and wide and within a few years pork was a large part of the upper class diet in what was then the Kingdom of Polans (later Poland).
Unfortunately, it was not until the reign of Przemysł II that the royal chefs realized that they didn’t have to burn down the pig hutch every time the Monarch demanded roast pork on the menu. Some historians speculate that the cost of constantly replacing pig hutches across the region was largely responsible for the fragmentation of Poland under Bolesław III’s 4 errant sons.

You know your spaceship is poorly built when it catches fire in a vacuum.

Except for the cheap materials and shoddy construction, it looks vaguely like a Borg cube.

If we just had some bacon we could have bacon and eggs if we had some eggs.

My people (The Polish) created roast pork.
