It doesn’t “stand for” anything in that it’s not an acronym or acrostic.
It’s the name of Star Trek “tropical resort planet.” People go on shore leave there in the way that people go on vacation to Bermuda or the Bahamas; it’s kind of the default “iconic tropical paradise” location.
On one notable occasion, Captain Picard went on vacation there.
Before he left, Commander Riker asked him to pick him up a certain souvenir from there.
You see the wooden statue in the sidebar over there? —>
That thing. It has a name. I don’t remember what it’s called.
What Riker didn’t tell him is that displaying one of those statues openly is basically Risan shorthand for “I’m cruising for casual sex.” So Picard was just like “yeah, I finally got around to buying Will that ugly statue he wanted; can’t be arsed to take it back to my room right now though.” So he just kinda carried it around with him for the day, had it hanging out on the table next to him while he was reading and such. With predictably awkward/hilarious results.
So yeah. This community is named after a low-stress tropical tourist trap that was occasionally spiced up with adventure and trolling. The perfect place for Star Trek related memes and shitposts.
The statue is called a horga’hn
ty
Look at my huge horga’hn.
There’s no way the writers weren’t joking when they named this.
It’s also where Worf got radicalized and engaged in some planetary level terrorism and then everyone was like “eh you’re just a toxic person to be in a relationship with so whatevs.” What a world.
Horga’hn!
Well too bad, i’m giving you the answer.
Risa is actually the name of a planet in Star Trek. It’s typically referred to as the pleasure planet because of the unholy amount of fisting they do there. It was first seen in the canonical adventures of Captain Clungeplunger of the USS Moist. Since then it’s gone on to appear in dozens of other Star Trek iterations such as Pounding Picard, Two Girls One Neelix, The Next Generation, Jam it in Janeway, Seven Eight Out Nine and Star Tramp 7: The Voyeurs Home.
You had me for a bit, not gonna lie. I was really excited to hear about a fisting planet.
May I introduce you to the Klingon homeworld?
I particularly enjoyed “Captain Clungepuncher”.
Not USS Moist? To go where no condom has gone before?
It’s the alliteration. Really sells it.
It’s not not a fisting planet.
Is it “Jam it in Janeway,” “‘Jam-It-In’ Janeway” or “Jam it in, Janeway!” ?

It’s an acronym for the Romulan Imperial Spacefaring Academy.
Shit I thought it was the vacation planet
A lot of people make that mistake. Often with disastrous results.
So where do we go to see sexy, scantily clad Romulans?
The_Picard_Manuever’s “homework” folder
This got me.
Well done.
The_Picard_Manuever, care to deny these scintillating allegations?
Let’s call them @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website
Hey, that folder is labeled Taxes!
…and also definitely, probably doesn’t exist.
It is.
And it’s pronounced “Rhy-zuh” and not “Ree-suh”.
You want jamaharon you dirty boy
Don’t we all, deep down, just want jamaharon? Some not so deep down.

It’s the name of Star Trek’s “work prison.” People can’t exactly be fired or ejected from starfleet; it’s kind of like a PIP, but instead making it mildly unpleasant until you get bored and leave of your own accord.
On one notable occasion, Captain Janeway was sent there.
Before she left, Commander Chakotay asked her to check in on a friend of his who had been there for years.
You see the wooden statue in the sidebar over there? —>
That thing. It has a name. I don’t remember what it’s called.
What Chakotay didn’t tell her is that his friend was literally a block of wood. In fact, that’s why he was at Risa. So Janeway was just like “yeah, I really don’t understand what’s happening but after asking for an introduction to this dude I have been sent to this little statue like 6 times. I guess there’s something to it.” So she just kinda carried it around with her for the day, had it hanging out on the table next to her while she was reading and eating and, well, changing clothes. With predictably awkward/hilarious results.
So yeah. This community is named after Star Trek’s hilarious take on how to deal with subpar job performance. In the end, Risa was actually a pretty chill place. The perfect place for low effort Star Trek related memes and shitposts.

It’s the name of Colonel Mustang’s bodyguard.
TIL Lt Hawkeye has a first name. Though it’s with a “z” not an “s”. Though I suppose that could be a translation thing.
