[QUOTE]Originally posted by The First One: [QB] Let's sum up here. Captain Amisov of the [i]Nebula[/i]-class [i]USS Endeavour[/i], NCC-71805 - name established in "Scorpion," ship seen (?) in "Redemption II," mentioned in "The Game," maybe mentioned in comm traffic in ST:FC (acc. to Encyclopaedia 2?) - encountered the Borg sometime prior to 2371, because the logs of the encounter are in [i]Voyager's[/i] records. Also mentioned in ST:FC comm traffic is the [i]USS Lexington[/i], NCC-61832, also visually identified in "Explorers" to be [i]Nebula[/i]-class. One [i]Nebula[/i] is seen in the battle in ST:FC. There is no way of knowing which one it is. Originally the ship commanded by that admiral in ST:FC was going to be a new class, with this example called the [i]Endeavour[/i]. This ship, the linchpin of the defense fleet, would be seen to be destroyed as the [i]Enterprise[/i] came on the scene, leaving the way open for Picard to lead them to victory. This concept was then scrapped in favour of having the [i]Defiant[/i] present so as to bring Worf into the film. The concept of the destruction, now of the [i]Defiant[/i], survived for several more drafts before politics with the DS9 staff ensured its survival. No evidence remains that the [i]Nebula[/i]-class [i]Endeavour[/i] was the command ship for the fleet. Whether or not this ship survived the battle is unknown. Furthermore, the [i]Endeavour[/i] has not previously been included in lists of ships present at Wolf 359 (the only known example of an encounter between the Borg and Starfleet vessels other than the [i]Enterprise[/i]), although at least one [i]Nebula[/i] was present (and it's not the [i]Melbourne[/i]!). Conventional wisdom has it that the one surviving ship implied by the '39 ships destroyed out of 40' is the [i]Cheyenne[/i]-class [i]USS Ahwahnee[/i]. Therefore either the assumption about the [i]Ahwahnee[/i] is flawed, and it was the [i]Endeavour[/i] that survived - or both did. The only other option - and to my mind the most likely one - is that the [i]Endeavour[/i] encountered the Borg at some other place and time, and lived to tell the tale. There are two problems with this: 1. They've always been fairly certain about the number of Borg incursions there have been. On the other hand, it's nice to think that the [i]Enterprise[/i] doesn't have to be the only ship that's ever met them! 2. [i]Nebulas[/i] don't seem to be able to survive that much, especially not the Borg! Instant SWDAO? 8) [/QB][/QUOTE]
