[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] I believe the dialouge indicated that the ship had just set out from port two weeks before, TSN. Quite different from being freshly commissioned. We know that the Soyuz class was rather odd looking. [IMG]http://solareclipse.net/Forums/smile.gif[/IMG] We know that it is different enough from the Miranda to get its own class name, but we never really find out why. The DS9 tech. manual suggests that phaser strips were first tested on Soyuz class starships. I contend that the Soyuz class was a testbed for new technologies. Based on readily available Miranda hulls, the ships were grabbed during early phases of production to be used in experiments. I would further suggest that the Soyuz was only meant as a stopgap measure, until a better design presented itself. Upon the construction of that new class, the Soyuz class was retired. That doesn't necessarily mean all Soyuz ships immediately were taken out of service, though they may have been removed from active service. Some, as Frank suggests, could have been recommissioned as Mirandas. Others might have just been pushed out as is, or given to various civilian agencies. Some would have no doubt remained in the hands of ship designers. I'm reasonably sure that would cover everything we know about the class. Anything I missed? [/QB][/QUOTE]
