I was reading the article on starship registries by Greg Jein and I noticed that in Ruth Berman's addendum, there is a starship named "Tashik-Sotra".
Where did this name come from? I've never heard of it.
Ruth Berman either made it up specifically for that list or included it from some fanfic that either she or an acquaintance had written. See where she says:

Thanks MMoM for the scans of T-Negative from 1975!
I see it was typed on a manual typwriter! Did they have photocopy machines then?
Is your original a blue mimeograph copy? I remember those (and the smell) from when I was a kid, and at school we'd get worksheets printed out like that. Heaven forbid that you'd get a copy that the teacher ran when the blue ink was almost out.
I had read your earlier thread when you'd found the magazine, but the scans posted there didn't work. So I read the transcript on trekplace.
I'm glad to see the original in all its ancient glory!!

Oh, I remember those days too... and I remember a friend who would sneak into the mimeographer room right after the teacher left to look inside the trashcan and get the questions early in the day, before the time of the exam...

Either that or you've seen Animal House to many times.
Did anybody else read the 'Klingon Kapstan Chanty'?

Hubba-hubba... Oh, you meant that, to you, it looks like he's "giving" a piece of the action. How utterly disappointing.

It looks like McCoy is supposed to be catching them in the act. Or are we looking at a so-to-be threesome here?

Well, we weren't going to comment. If you look like chapel, and like wearing that red uniform, who are we to judge!

On a more serious note, where does the name "Tashik Sotra" come from? I can't find any place, person, or thing with that name.
