[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] The solution is easy . . . did we actually [i]see[/i] the dedication plaque, in the sense of having it readable? If not, then you're pitting what we saw on screen against what we didn't see on screen at all, and thus giving yourself an unnecessary headache. But even if you soldier on past the point above, there's also the fact that, per the only image I've found of the dedication plaque (lifted from the Encyclopedia or something), the plaque gives a generic 22xxx stardate. Post-four-digit, pre-4xxxx stardates were notoriously inconsistent, and thus it is difficult to lock down a year (as you have done with 2345) for the ship's commissioning. Cases in point: "Dark Page"[TNG], with 3xxxx stardates 35 years in the past . . . or you could mention Tuvok's 3xxxx birth, which is of course ridiculous given that he was an adult aboard Excelsior in ST6-time. Simply put, an "interregnum" stardate is an awfully finicky thing to presume a contradiction on. Also, potentially of interest: http://www.st-v-sw.net/STSWvolumetrics2.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
