[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by akb1979: [qb] Yes, but the Sovereign-class starship was relatively new at the time - probably only the initial 6 were in service with the other 6 still in production (like the Galaxy-class).[/qb][/QUOTE] Right, and only 6 Galaxies were ever produced. :D Seriously though, IIRC the real reason was just that they didn't wanna waste the Sovereign for the DS9 series, saving it only for the movies. We can make up any excuse we want for them, in fact, it's probably expected of us. Why weren't there any visible Ambassadors during the Dominion War? Could be that by that time, all Ambassador class ships were mothballed, or re-assigned to lower threat areas (like the Klingon/Federation border). If they were all mothballed, it could be that it was simply uneconomical to re-activate them. For the manpower and resource put into reviving a single Ambassador, they might have been able to bring back maybe 3 or 4 Mirandas, or 1.5 Excelsior. The War being one of attrition, numbers might have mattered more than tonnage. If the Ambassadors were all assigned to low threat areas, they might have simply been out of position, and the Federation considered them not worth the effort of redeploying. If low threat areas means the Klingon/Federation border, the brief war between the two might have done much to thin their ranks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
