Well, tonight's Voyager episode, "The Voyager Conspiracy", had 7 of 9 downloading 6 months worth of ship's data in her sleep (hmmm...sounds familiar). Well, anyway, there are images on a console next to Seven, and, guess what? Ship Images! (hmmm...deja vu!) Anywa, from what I remember seeing, there was an Intrepid, D7/K`t`inga, Defiant, Orbital Officers, Vulcan Docking Sled...etc. I might have missed a few, but that's what I got.

Also, there was this pretty nifty little 'sled' that Voyager found, but, well, I'll see what else is going on.

Wait, add two more to the list. A schematic of a Peregrine, as in the one from the Encyclopedia (Academy Trainer), and a Galor class Cardassian Vessel (which was actually in the Delta Quad!)

You know, I should post this stuff AFTER I see the whole episode...but then I'd forget

And the almost appearance of an upsidedown Dominion Crusier...

Which can also be seen in (is it "Drone"?), the ep with the superborg. Apparently Starfleet made contact with them a long time before we saw them in action.

Anyhow, I wrote down most of the relevant information from the episode, except for all the stardates...uuh... The show was kind of stupid...Seven downloads tons of info into her head while tinkering with her Borg tech and goes amok. I'd be really embarrassed if I were her, and I don't even want to hear all the jokes the crew is going to make on her account in the next couple of months...

Tricobalt devices: finally we learn something about them! The question remains whether the subspace tear is a side effect or the actual principle, and given the fact that the yield is measured in teracochranes, I'd suppose the latter...maybe it merely twists space to destroy its contents, without tearing it apart under normal conditions? Here it did rip it open to reveal subspace, though.

30 sectors = 3 year trip = 3000 ly? So a sector is 100 ly across and not 20? Maybe the 1000 ly/y average doesn't hold up any longer.

Somebody speculated a while ago that Caretaker's been bringing in ships for more than "several months", and that Neelix just wasn't in the area long enough. Well, here we learn that he was around for about a year, which places sort of a limit to the arrival of the Equinox. There were 52 vessels total, including a Cardassian Galor class.

Well, if they were going across the sectors completely diagonally, then the max distance for each would be...uh...hypotenuse...squared...er, I think I can model this with silly putty...aha, 40 lt-yrs.

I thought I saw a flash of a Norway-Class starship which is impossible, since voyager left before that class was in development, i think.

Norway could have existed for several decades before the Intrepid was launched, considering that the known Nowrway ship USS Budapest has a registry in the low 60000s, way before Voyager's 74656.

The Dominion cruiser in turn could be old news since its known schematics would probably have been part of the data dump of "Message in a Bottle".

Interesting wording, The359 - Peregrine "schematic"? Was this more than just an exterior picture?

Was the Galor actually Gul Evek's ship, the one which pursued Chakotay? Perhaps the Caretaker processed it first, before going through Chakotay's crew?

And somebody please tell me details on which ships were sent back to Alpha and which were not, and how Seven found out about that!

Wasn't the Norway also in 8472's version of Starfleet Headquarters? It is almost certain that this class has been in service for several years.

It's pretty much accepted that VGR got up-to-date tac info after MiaB, isn't it? Why the problem?

I am almost certain it was an actualy cutaway of a Peregrine, though the graphic was only on for a few seconds, and not very large, since it was layered over multiple other screens on the astrometrics main viewer. Also, the second time we see these overlapped data files, we see a schematic of the orbital offices!

I don't think the Peregrine pic was any more detailed than the picture that's labelled as the Academy trainer in the Encyclopedia.

All those pictures are from the encyclopedia, even the infamous upside down Dominion battlecruiser. The brief view of the Federation fighter I think had the Starfleet Academy logo on it.
