[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb] To my knowledge there wasn't ever an "NDT" reg, though there was a "NFT", which I took as meaning "Federation Transport". [/qb][/QUOTE]The SS [i]Milan[/i], NDT-50863, was the transport that brought the Rozhenkos to rendezvous with the [i]Enterprise[/i] in TNG's "New Ground". :) --Jonah [/qb][/QUOTE]Serves me right for trusting Memory Alpha! Perhaps it's just coincidence that both transport related regs happened to have a 'T' in there. The alternative that all Federation civilian transports have a reg prefixed in an 'N*T' pattern means there's at most 26 variations; not enough to justify the middle letter standing for a planet and even less likely it stands for the type of vessel, or anything similarly insignificant. So 'FT' and 'DT' are just two random planet designators. The Rozhenko's transport need not have come from Earth, since it's unlikely that there just happened to be a transport from Sol to whatever sector the E-D happened to be at the time. More likely they had to change ships several times to get out that far, so the Milan would be registered to either which ever planet they visited for the last leg of it's the reg for Bilana III itself..
