[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophile: [qb] BTW: just to be the Devil's Advocate; we know that the Enterprise-class wasn't Starfleet's first warp starship - just the first with the capability of warp factor 5. Could the Daedalus-class explorers be pre-Enterprise? What time period were they supposedly operating in according to 'A Piece of the Action'? [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, the episode made it sound as if it had been [i]after[/i] the founding of the Federation. Kirk introduced himself as the captain "of the starship [i]Enterprise[/i], representing the Federation of Planets" and the Iotian responded immediately: "You're from the same outfit as the [i]Horizon[/i]?" Plus, he said the ship left Sigma Iotia II "100 years ago." OTOH, if we are accepting that this design is indeed the [i]Daedalus[/i] Class mentioned in "Power Play" (TNG) then it was [i]retired[/i] by 2196. That doesn't really tell us when it was first built, although if it was extant in the ENT era then its absence is curious. Also, it seems unusual that an older, less-advanced design than the NX (retired in the early 2160s as per "These Are The Voyages..." [ENT]) would outlast it by more than three decades. [/QB][/QUOTE]
