[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'd suspect early 2360s or even late 2350s: the ships have had 64000-range registries while the early 2360s-vintage Galaxies have 71000 range ones. Probably these ships were built at the same time with the Nebula class, and Galaxy was a "luxury version" created to complement these earlier "workhorse" ships. All these ship types share a certain "look", even if the Akira nacelles differ. John Eaves says he designed the ship as a shuttlecarrier or through-deck cruiser of sorts. Perhaps it is a successor/replacement for the Steamrunner class, which also seems to feature a through-deck shuttlebay but has lower registries, indicating greater age. Both ships have a configuration where shuttles can launch from the front and then return through large aft bay doors, protected from two sides by the nacelles and from above (Akira) or below (Steamrunner) by "secondary hulls".
