[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Show me the pic and I'll tell you... Yeah, the Yridian destroyer/transport from "The Chase"/"Firstborn" seemed to be an all-new model, with rounded shapes instead of the Imperial Star Destroyer kitbash hulls used in the two Talarian models. And yeah, Ransom made contact with the Yridians when others thought they were extinct. The dialogue went something like this (paraphrasing Jim Wright's reviews): "Do you know this individual?" Seven asks. "Only by reputation," Janeway says. "He was an exo-biologist, promoted to Captain after he made first contact with the Yridians." Seven is surprised. "Species 6291. The Collective determined that they were extinct." "So did the Federation," Janeway says, smiling. "Ransom proved otherwise. I always wanted to meet him. Too bad it won't be under better circumstances." So one could safely say that this contact took place before we first saw Yridians in TNG. Janeway seems to consider Ransom her senior (except when it comes to wrestling for command), and the contact took place before Ransom made four pips. So if we are going to see Yridians in ENT, no problem: just say that a few years or decades later, they will go up in a great ball of fire and everybody will mistake them for dead. This disaster need not be shown or even hinted at... Perhaps the Doomsday Machine will eat their homeworld? Perhaps, since they were information merchants, they saw it advantageous to withhold the information of their continuing existence? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
