How appropriate a quote.
The registry number fits nicely, too.

Was that registry actually on either the ship or the dedication plaque?
Also, could you post the message itself if possible?

You mean the entire letter itself Frank? That was all he said. Though I'm sure it was on both.

That puts her launch somewhere in the second half of TNG's season 5 or so...
Oh, and I love that quote. Love it.

The USS Bradbury, with a registry of NX-72307, was operating in 2366.
The USS Equinox, with a registry of NCC-72381, may have been launched after 2366. I am accepting the year 2366 as the lowest point the USS Equinox could have been launched. Considering the data within the episode, I place the USS Equinox's launch as being in 2367.
Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :
Of course, remember that the Sutherland was NCC-72015, and was launched in 2368...

Sutherland probably took longer to build

With the stardates being an unrealiable source of information, I have decided to ignore the stardates. I go by information that is provided by the characters, structural details, and a general history of starships-what starships were operational at what time. For the launching date of the USS Equinox, I went by the information provided by the characters and a general history of starships.
Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :
I was just talking about this with the Vorlon. . . basically then, the Equinox must have been quite new when it was lost. And the loss of such a new science vessel in the Badlands could contribute to the idea of the area as a no-go section of space.
So it's only a few years later that they decide to risk a new Intrepid-class ship, with its greater manoeuvrability, and gel-pack circuitry to protect it from feedback and interference caused by local conditions.
Oh, and good work, Hobbes. 8)
