1.) What did Ezri say about the Destiny in "Prodigal Daughter"? I think it was something about a relationship she had with someone on board?
2.) Was the Destiny mentioned in any other episode besides that one and "Shadows & Symbols" and "Afterimage"? (This is for my shiplist.)
3.) What did that Star Trek: The Magazine article say about the Bellerophon other than that it was the third Intrepid-class ship built? Did it say when it was commissioned or anything like that?
Thanks, -MMoM

Whatever happened to that young man on the Destiny you were so interested in? Lieutenant... something?
EZRI
Brinner Finok. He was an Ensign. I did talk to him after I was joined... once. I don't think we're right for each other anymore. He reminds me too much of my son, Gran. It makes me a little uncomfortable to be around him now.
The others exchange a look. Ezri starts to get a little flustered.
EZRI
Sorry. He reminds me of Audrid's son, Gran. (nervous laugh) I'm still sorting out my pronouns.
As for #2, those are the only three episodes.

It sonds like Galaxy (Challenger, Enterprise, Venture... Destiny), but I hope it's something else.
[edit]: Mim, did you recieve my mail? I had some problems with my PC lately, so it could have been sent to someone else instead or it hasn't been sent at all.

It doesnt sound like a Galaxy at all! It sounds like a ship, named U.S.S. Destiny, that had a counselor named Ensign Ezri Tigan and a Lieutenant Brinner Finok aboard, and was later lost (or something).
I don't know where people get these bizarre inferences about an unseen vessel's class based on only one passing mention of it.
BTW "Voyager's core installation took place on stardate 47834.6, fast tracked to follow Intrepid and Bellereophon by only three months."

Actually, Ezri was the Assitant Counselor on the Destiny.
The other tidbit we have about the ship is that it was transporting the Dax symbiont back to Trill after Jadzia died.
It's still not enough to make a call on the class, though that fact doesn't seem to make me as angry as it makes Mike....

There's ZERO information to back that statement up. And as far as the counselor being an ensign, for all we know, half the Destiny's crew died in a Dominion attack, and Ezri was just the next surviving counselor-in-training.

Well we know there's not a rank requirement to be a CMO on either a ship or a station. Bashir was only a Lt. JG and presumably right out of Medical School. The same could apply for counselors or psychiatrists as well because they technically are also medical personal.

I seem to recall some speculation that the Destiny was a Nebula, back when it was first mentioned. I don't recall why, though.

Why did they use the Destiny to bring Dax back to Trill? Why not the Defiant (with an *obvious* maximum velocity of warp 9.982) or a ship that is equipped for such emergencies, a hospital ship like the Hope/Olympic-class? I'm sure there were some around at that time. There was a huge fleet returning from Chin'toka at that time, they had plenty of ships. On the other hand, if all ships stayed at Chin'toka and only damaged vessels returned, or if the fleet wasn't back yet when they had to deliver Dax, they could have taken any ship available. And I think the only ships not sent to Chin'toka were some fifty years old transport ships. Maybe the Destiny was the Mdusa-class ship we never saw? Or the Constitution-kitbash?

Defiant has a max speed of warp 9.982? Since when? They said 9.5 in "The Sound of Her Voice", and with all due respect to Starship Spotter, it ain't bloody cannon.

DS9TM is canon, and you hear it all the time. Really, I don't buy it, too, but there are many sources that support it.
