You see, in 2151 Starfleet outsourced the handling of registries to the Russians, obviously, meaning that every Starfleet vessel of the era is NX-01. <br /><br />(Later, of course, Starfleet caught on and got on to the Russians, saying that they wanted *different* registries for each ship . . . hence the crackpot registries of the TOS era. Ah, yes, it's all come together now.) <br /><br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
