I stumbled over the owner of the charts seen there, and the guy, he calls himself Captain Archer, took digital images of sections of the map, this one might be of interest to all of the starship names-collectors out there...

Thanks very much to Captain Archer!!!

We already had that info confirmed from Sternbach, but these are the first closeup pictures. I bet that's fairly readable on the Blu-ray of STXI, as well, so I'm looking forward to HD screencaps...

I find it interesting that the Constitution silhouette that's used for most of the ships varies in size. That would seem to imply that they're not all Connies.

It's also cool that all the planets in the system are named. Is the star itself named? It's probably Beta Penthe.

Looks like it might be a binary system too.
I forget, was there ever a space shot of Rura Penthe?

According to this review of ST VI, the picture quality is only 3 of 5.

So maybe we don't get the answer with this release of the movie...

More to the point, it says that the BluRay only has the theatrical cut, so that scene won't be in it at all.

Theatrical Cut= Lame.

Hmmm...the silouette size thing is a bit odd- maybe the Endeavour (shown larger) represents the mission's command ship?

It's annoying that they'd be useing Connie Refits at all- considering that the ships as old as Enterprise would have been slated for decommision some years prior.

I really wouldn't read too much into it. After all it wasn't really meant to stand up to too much scrutiny.

In this case, we only have the scence where Kirk is sitting in this room. Does anybody know what exactly is listed on his timetable?

Or perhaps those ships are closer? Although those other ships are all in the same sector - maybe Endeavour is just a bit closer?
Also don't know if that would stack-up remembering Sulu's comment that "we're now in Alpha Quadrant". Unless they'd been recalled after Operation Retrieve was cancelled...

Agreed the video cut of TUC is MUCH better than the theatrical cut!

The smaller silhouettes look like they could be the Antares design someone round here did that I like so much.

I don't think they are supposed to be Constitutions, the silhouettes of Endeavour and Potemkin of the same size, and we know that those two are Constitutions. Besides, already having Excelsior, Endeavour and Potemkin in that one secotor seems to be a bit of a stretch, but actually having 5 Constitutions plus the Excelsior? What is Starfleet going to do? Start an invasion of the Klingon Empire? I would prefer them to be something else, smaller patrol ships of some kind maybe.

PS: What retard in Starfleet HQ is responsible for naming their operations, anyway? "Operation Retrieve", "Operation Return" (DS9) - why assign cover-designations to operations when even a Pakled could figure out what it is all about?
