[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Incidentally, where does the name [i]Trial[/i] comes from? My limited searching hasn't found a place called Trial; the only references mainly seem to come from various kinds of trial. If it's a trial as in a legal proceding, what other names might there be? The [i]USS Deposition[/i]? Or maybe the [i]USS Competition[/i] or the [i]USS Let's Just toss A Coin[/i]? Perhaps the full name of the ship is the [i]USS Trial By Jury[/i], opening up the possibility of there being a [i]USS Law & Order[/i], a [i]USS Criminal Intent[/i], and a [i]USS Special Victims Unit[/i]! Or maybe it's the [i]USS (The) Trial[/i], meaning there could be a [i]USS Metamorphosis[/i]. Such literary precedents however mean there might be a [i]USS Da Vinci Code[/i] or a [i]USS Little Engine That Could[/i], and eventually even a [i]USS Vulcan Love Slave[/i]. One interesting thing I did find was that a "trial" is an adjective for something of which there are three (like "dual" for two). Perhaps the ship was a pregenitor of the [i]Prometheus[/i] multi-vector assault concept? [/QB][/QUOTE]
