[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] This excerpt is from the DS9 Companion: [QUOTE] "Robert Legato, then visual effects supervisor for DS9, was instructed to shoot the battle sequence before live-action production had commenced on the pilot. 'It was fun to do because I was allowed to make it up from scratch; there was no backlog of stock footage for it' he says. 'The script said that they were right in the middle of this big fierce, ugly battle, and I had tons of debris in all the shots. Ships that were burning, on fire, flying past the camera. I made sure that all of the debris had the correct names on it, the names of the ships that were mentioned in 'The Best of Both Worlds' (The Starships Tolstoy, Kyushu, Melbourne, and Saratoga were among those described as lost in the battle), so the episodes would tie together. But fate stepped in when the decision was made to shoot the live action as if the ships were *about* to enter into battle with the Borg, rather than joining them in mid-fray. 'I had to go back and take all the extraneous ships out,' he laments. 'It was a heartbreaker, because it was a ton of work and very good-looking stuff-much bigger than anything seen on a TNG show."[/QUOTE]According to the original "Emissary" script, Sisko has a line that says something to the effect of "Admiral Hanson has deployed the Kyushu, Gage, and the Melbourne." (Actually, "Tolstoy" wasn't listed in the script, but since the name was mentioned in BoBW, I assumed a corresponding model might have been made based on Legato's quote above.) Because I assumed that the "Gage" might have been another battle-damaged model that had been built for this scene, I exhaustively searched the internet for Legato's email address. When I finally found it and contacted him about the cut scene, his answers were less than satisfying. He seemed not to remember much about it at all, contrary to his quote for the book. He said that the battle-damaged Reliant was used in the scene, and that might have been the Gage. But he really sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about. Anyway, whether these ships really existed or not, I doubt Nemecek will have photos of them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
