Okay, NOW I can go check on those ships. Give me a day or so.

"I didn't find these ships in the book. In which context were they mentioned?"

When Enterprise makes starfall at Hamal/Starbase 18. "Old friends & friendly rivals" they were part of.

Didn't the USS Bill of Rights from Best Destiny have a Registry of NEE instead of NCC?

Carey used to assign oddball registries to many of her ships: MKC for the Star Empire and, yes, NEE for the Bill of Rights. She's gone soft lately, though - in the "New Earth" books, her cutters and tenders get the same NCC as her starships.

USS Bill of Rights sounds a bit awkward. Is there a vessel of that name in USN service? Was there ever? Then again, if a USN ship can be named USS Lewis and Clark, or USS The Sullivans, I guess USS Bill of Rights is okay as well...

Which reminds me... Should "The Wounded Sky" list starships Lewis and Clark, or the single starship Lewis-and-Clark? It would be something of a coincidence for the two ships to be present simultaneously, now wouldn't it? Unless it's an early multi-vector-attack prototype!

The Bill Of Rights is an important historical document. I wouldn't be surprised if a ship was named for it. I know I used the name myself along with Magna Carta, Ten Commandments, Koran, & Declaration Of Independence. I should probably add Fundamental Declaration & Articles Of Confederation as well, although they sound a little more goofy.

Er, I think you missed out "Federation". Or are you getting to that a bit later?

I'm sure the Aginbourt was a Constitution class in the SF:A game too...

Yeah, I skipped Federation because a large part of it takes place in TNG time. I'll get to it.

OK, here's a question:

Book #17 (on the first page), how the hell can the Magellan be in the Andromeda Galaxy? Can someone please explain that to me!?!

By the way, now you've done TOS books, how about those from the other series? [Big Grin]

Oh yeah - REALLY OLD TOPIC REVIVAL! HEHE! 2000!!! HEHE!!! [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Razz] [Razz]

Now I understand why it is that over at the SCN they lock old threads... Although they really should wait at least a year.

Well, since you thought was an important enough question to revive the thread for, it would be a pity if you didn't get an answer. [Wink]

IIRC the author had postulated a type of ship called (ironically, in more ways than one) the Galaxy class which were extragalactic explorers and were deployed to Andromeda. I can't recall if there was any explanation of the advancements that made such a feat possible, or if it was just a throwaway ("oooooh") concept.

Perhaps someone can elaborate further if there was any additonal information.

This was before the TNG concepts of quadrants, more standardized speeds and "we only explored 4% of the galaxy in TOS" became prevalent. I'm sure older fans that thought of it probably figured Starfllet had explored enough of tha galaxy to figure a trip to Andromeda would be a cool (or practical) thing to do. Heck, even Franz Joseph posited that the Federation "treaty zone" was well over 10 of the galactic mass, no?

First of Two recently popped up the trekrpg.net boards and posted an updated ship list:

Hmm, is the USS Constitution NX-1701 at the bottom (Errand of Vengeance Trilogy) a typo?
