Any planet with followers of Slaanesh on it. The last thing I need is a bunch of sex-crazed Sadomasochists who have claws for hands trying to grab my genitals.

Not one of the worst places I could end up I guess (Northern Hyperion is definitely one place i don't particularly want to visit while the Shrike is active), but Draka Earth (or any other Draka dominated planet) is way up there on my "Do not visit. Do not even take a flight that has a stopover there" list.

How could I possibly have forgotten R'lyeh? That would be a bad place to visit.

Any training planets for the Officio Assassinorum. Very, very bad idea.

I'd have to say anywhere in fedeartion space....the fact that even the humans they've never met before all seem to wear those daft sorts of outfits in TNG convinces me I'd go insane in about 2 hours.....

In my case the list of places that I'd be prepared to visit without bringing along Excession-level firepower would be far shorter than the list of places that I wouldn't visit, period. Even the relatively passive SF-verses can turn downright dangerous at a moment's notice.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Thebes. A bunch of four and a half foot tall armored creatures who consider Earth to be Holy Mother Terra, and humans to be angels...unless they're allied with another race, in which case they're apostates to be retaught or killed. Insane enough to detonate nuclear bombs inside their own ships to generate X-ray lasers.

Hmmm... what about Kamino?? The weather's always rainy, and the inhabitants would probably scare the hell outta me just by their appearance.....


(But on the other hand, it has some of the best sci-fi architecture I've seen yet...)

As Enlightenment stated, most SF-verses arent very people friently without superior firepower.

Starwars- The Imperials are way to stricked and have a non-existant regard for human life, the rebals are a bunch of idiots, the Jedi are too arrogant & their philosophy stinks. With the Yong running around, pro-technology

Startrek- With intelligence, and good design skills would get me far, ST is intrinsically biased against such things. And there is no garrenty I would live long enough to actually do anything.

Babylon5-This universe has serious design & philosophical problems. Large scale stupidity factor, and social engineering that would do the current generation of PC people proud. I'm sure as hell not going there, unless it is in a 5ThI planetiod or similar.

Tolal Annihilation universe-Galaxy wide war, which results in the entire galaxy being reformatted(Core ending). Not something I want to be around, and a culture than has spent ~4000 years of continious hot war isnt they type of culture I want to go near.

Starcraft-As a human my chances of survival are very very slim.

Oh, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a Zerg-infested planet, nor would I wish to be on a partially Zerg-infested planet when the Protoss show up.
