Trinculo is a character from a Shakespearean play..."King Lear" or "Hamlet," I believe.

It's not 'Hamlet'. It might be 'King Lear', but wasn't there a clown or somesuch starting with 'Tri' in 'Titus Andronicus'?

Is it one of the new 'galaxies', like in the war?

*jaw drops* I can't believe I didn't notice that name when I read The Tempest...
------------------ "Yahweh likes to meddle in the affairs of us, as it makes him feel powerful, and he forgets the many years of torment he endured at Supreme Being Secondary School. Many a day would 'Thor - God of Thunder' & 'Mars - God of War' steal Yahweh's lunch money and hang him up by his breeches, all the while belittling Yahweh by insulting his very odd, and non-imposing God name, usually by adding a valley girl accent, and having it come out as 'yeah! way!'." -Ultra Magnus, 15-Dec-2000

Going by its registry NCC-71867, it seems to be a member of the original batch of 6. It may also be the 7th ship where the spaceframe had been built along with the first 6, but then stored for later construction.

Was there a model of this ship, or was the name seen a the ship itself, if not, where did the name come from?
Posted by Spike (Member # 322) on :
There was a model labeled with this name on some exhibitions.
Do you know if there any pictures of this ship out there?

I have a few on my old computer...but I'm too lazy to move them and I don't know how to post them on the boards. The pics were from the Planet Hollywood in Beverly Hills, Ca.
