[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] Here goes. Note the Steamrunner spelling (although I may have influenced him by spelling the ship that way in my question). As for the Defiant, he probably means that (at least in FC) the ship is supposed to be much smaller than the 170m Sabre, and not the same size or larger. No idea what he means by existing saucers, perhaps trying to match saucer sizes with those of existing Starfleet designs? Jaeger did say in the Magazine that the Akira saucer was the same size as the Sovereign saucer, and taking a brief look at Vorlon's top view charts, the Steamrunnner, Norway, and Akira saucers do seem to be about the same length. Jaeger probably drew up -some- kind of a comparison chart without adding specific numbers, and thus he knows that the Saber is bigger than the Defiant, but not the actual sizes.

In regards to your query about the sizes of them please refer to the size chart from the Star Trek Encyclopedia "A Reference Guide to the Future" updated and expanded edition, ISBN: 0-671-53607-9 pages 578 and 579. You'll see that the Akira, Norway, Steamrunner and Saber-class sizes in comparison to ships of known size. Although personally my intentions were that the Saber would be larger than the Defiant-class. These charts are accurate for the most part visually, but I never really had hard numbers for the sizes while designing them due to time constraints. I mainly based the sizes on existing ships by the size of the "saucer" sections. Me hope and intentions are that Paramount will be contacting me soon to publish more information on these ships in the "Star Trek Magazine". So for the time being I'm unfortunately bond by confidentiality contracts not to reveal any further information about the actual workings, structure and or details of their specific operations (STFSC: 004-331 sec:002). I hope this little tidbit of info helps you, sorry I can't reveal more at this time, but in the mean time check out Galaxy Quest this Christmas! See some more of my handy work as the N.S.E.A. Protector NTE-3120 battles across the universe with the help of it's fans!!!! And Happy Thanksgiving! Never Give up, Never Surrender!
