I happened upon a book that appeared to be three Star Trek comic books put together. The third comic was a New Frontier comic, with the <i>Relativity</i> (Complete with Braxton and Ducane) making a cameo. I would have been happy with what I saw if it wasn't for one little thing. The <i>Relativity</i>'s color.<p>It was green.<p>Yes, I know both comic books and New Frontier are non-canon, but this just really grated on my nerves. So far as I can tell by watching the Voyager episode, the <i>Relativity</i> does not have a green hull. It, from my point of view, did kind of have a prismatic soap-bubble effect, but it was quite plainly not green. Am I missing something, or was the artist just a complete moron? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mr. Christopher</b> <br /><small>Member # 71</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,10,26,17,4,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 26, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:04 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The <i>Relativity</i> was green. <p>It was also every other colour in the rainbow.<p>It was painted with Mystic. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,10,26,22,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 26, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:33 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I suppose they had to color it <i>something</i>.
