[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Red Admiral: [QB] Due to the request in the Denava Class thread, I've produced some screen caps of the ships in The Qualor II surplus Depot scenes from 'Unification'. I've tried my best to analyse the images, but they're open to everyone's interpretation. I know others may have images like these on their sites, but I have not investigated their analyses, as I didn't want it to appear as if I've simply copied it. Everything below is my opinion and impression, even if it mirrors there's. If that's so it proves only that we have like minds. [IMG]http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/qualor01.jpg[/IMG] IMAGE ONE (1) The first image shows a damaged Niagara Class I believe. This is due to it being virtually identical (from what I can tell), to Okuda's model of the Princeton, - of which there are existing model photos. [IMG]http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/qualor02.jpg[/IMG] IMAGE TWO (2) It's very difficult to make this one out. It could be two objects, one behind the other. If so their classes and general appearance are almost impossible to make out. (3) This vessel is very interesting. I don't know what others thoughts/theories on it are. But it does to my perception appear to be a four-nacelled design. Obviously it's not a Constellation or a Prometheus, as other hull characteristics don't match at all. So this is a completely unknown class. My only working theory is that its Cheyenne Class, as it appears to be the only class that seems to at least correspond to the general profile here. (4) The ship marked 4. is also a partial mystery. We have here a reasonable picture of it. One could speculatively assign the Apollo classification, as the Phase II Enterprise study model has been strongly associated with the Apollo class. This vessel here does resemble that model. (5) ???? Type D7 Klingon Battlecruiser anyone? There's a number of significant similarities. If it is so, one can only guess at what it's doing in a Federation surplus depot. [IMG]http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/qualor03.jpg[/IMG] IMAGE THREE (6) This seems to be lone saucer section from one class or another. My guess is possibly Excelsior, or maybe Ambassador. (7) Item 7. looks more like a active piece of hardware rather than a decommissioned starship. It resembles the Particle Fountain seen in 'Matter of Perspective', but it's actual role in the scene may be the depot command centre, or offices/living quarters etc. (8) Completely unknown, and strikingly non-Federation looking. It has more Cardassian about it than Starfleet. (9) This quite obviously is an old decommisioned first batch Miranda Class. [IMG]http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/qualor04.jpg[/IMG] IMAGE FOUR (10) My first guess was Excelisor Class. But looking closer at the secondary hull there does appear to be a similarity with the Galaxy/Nebula Class secondary hull configuration. But the image quality and distance of the vessel in the scene makes it difficult to be sure what it is. (11) Both 11. and 12. are first batch Mirandas (as like the Reliant - with roll bar et al) The other object behind article 11. is an unknown configuration. [IMG]http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/qualor05.jpg[/IMG] IMAGE FIVE These two strange vehicles (on the outer sides)appear in the next image. The third, in the middle-top area is completely unknown. [IMG]http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/qualor06.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/qualor06.2.jpg[/IMG] IMAGE SIX AND SIX.2 (13) This is a facinating design of a totally unrecognisable class. It has certain elements that remind one of the Prometheus Class. It has though two traditional nacelles, and a stretched and flattened secondary hull, as like the saucer -if you can call it this. These design themes though are reasonably modern (ie Intrepid Class). But nothing suggests this HAS to be an antiquated classification, it could be a recent class, scrapped for whatever reason. Or it could indeed be an active ship in the Qualor system for its own reasons. The only thing I can liken it to is an early Excelsior variant that's known to exist. (14) This appears to be a more alien design, but it's tough to make out much detail, or to match it with any other known ship. (15) This has several recognisable Federation design features, including the familiar bridge module, and what appears to be a standard saucer. It seems to have lost the rear half of the ship, including the nacelles, unless they're out of shot. But it's not a class that I can identify. Using my imagination, I can see characteristics that remind me of Soyuz Class, as the front of the ship certainly seems to have a Miranda/Soyuz look to it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
