[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] The Vengeance was built covertly, it was never intended to be used covertly. It was planned to ride on the coat-tails of a massive long-range ballistic attack on the Klingons. Have you seen the movie, Jason? The Vengeance was designed to obliterate any and all opponents posing a real or imagined threat to Earth, through sheer firepower and armor. The dark hull is likely an early stab at ablative armor, probable since the torpedo volley on it didn't explode the entire ship, as they would have any other ship. It's the first purpose-built starship since the Defiant, actually. About the cyborg bridge officer: since the Bynars were pint-sized, genderless, vocal cord-free munchkins, I'm not sure this 6-foot computer-syntax-talking man is one, although he was an albino. Hopefully some more info will surface eventually. Regarding the original Praxis disaster, it was a catastrophic mining explosion concerning oxygen, it very definitely could have happened at any time in Klingon history, especially after the Nero incident, in which the Klingons were directly involved. Losing a chunk of their fleet to the Narada, combined with the premature mobilization and growth of the Federation fleet should've put enormous pressure on both the Romulans and the Klingons to match their defense budget, leading to increased demand on resources all across the board, including Praxis, and kaboom. The new Klingons seen in the movie seem decidedly xenophobic and cruel, as the new balance of power would suggest. Sure, there hasn't been a Khitomer accord yet so they have no reason to be cordial with humans, but still, gutting a human female instead of taking prisoners for interrogation, very low.
