The page that you checked I believe is the Transportation section of the databanks. This site is (1.) old, about two years old (no entry is newer than the middle of season 4 of the series DS9) and (2.) incomplete.<br>2. The uniforms. There are only two instances where I saw the uniforms from the original pilot-the brownish uniforms-in the original series. The first is the Antares crew. The second is the captain of the SS Beagle. His uniform is covered by a tunic, but the neck and the sleeves can be seen. His ship crashed in 2261. This would indicate that the uniforms of the Cage had been replaced by the uniforms of the original series by 2261. This important piece of information substantiates the claim that the Antares is a non-Starfleet ship. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
