Who is or was E.M. Rauch?
Is the first USS Relavity a ship of the 27th century or the 28th century?
Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :
It could possibly be from anytime between the twenty-fourth and twenty-ninth centuries, depending on how spaced out the ships were.

Hobbes, that was what we thought the dedication plaque said. We never had it confirmed, well until now.

So, is anyone going to tell him that a ship w/ a "-G" suffix is the eighth ship to bear the name?

He's right!

Great info. I have updated my ship listing immediately.
Posted by Bernd (Member # 6) on :
I didn't even count. What if the registry scheme was changed, and there was no Relativity-nil? The scheme has been changed anyway, if other ships than the Enterprise may have letters. It's a long time until the 29th century...
Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :
Bernd Johnson is right!
I always said it was a -G, and that it looked like it said 'seventh' - which contradict each other. I don't know whether to be happy I was right, or pissed at them for what looks like a sloppy mistake.
Posted by Deep6 on :
This is somewhat unrelated....but have we ever heard Captain Braxton's first name?

It was launched from a University?!!!!!

The USS Relativity could be operating under the auspices of the University of Copernicus, like the SS Columbia. The SS Columbia operated under the auspices of the American Continental Institue.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
it says seventh SHIP to bear the name - not TIME ship or STAR ship - SHIP - I noticed this cause of the space ship enterprise SWADO thread - since that ship with the ring from the rec deck is a space ship not a STAR ship...
so this Relativity thing might have its basis even BEFORE Star Trek - quick go out and call your boat the Relativity *grin*

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Yes, but that would still make it more than the seventh ship. From what we know of the registry suffix system, there would presumably have been a USS Relativity, USS Relativity-A, USS Relativity-B, USS Relativity-C, USS Relativity-D, USS Relativity-E, USS Relativity-F, and USS Relativity-G. Count 'em. There're eight of 'em.

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
heh sorry TSN, I wasn't arguing your point - I agree it should be eight - I was making a different point, i.e. usually plaques say e.g. 10th STARSHIP to bear the name Yadda Yadda. not just ship, that means they are maybe including starships, spaceships, seaships, airships, lavaships AND timeships!?!

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Hm... Well, I don't know about those other ones, but I would guess that the reason for the word "ship" is indeed the fact that it is a timeship, rather than a starship. Same reason it's NCV, not NCC.
