[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'm coming to think that the fighters we saw in "Maquis pt II" and the DS9 war episodes have nothing to do with Peregrines whatsoever. These fighters have never been referred to as couriers, and frankly, they do not look as if they could perform that mission (which would involve carrying not only information but also small parcels and people at high speeds). They seem like pure military machines, lacking even the amenities of a runabout. OTOH, both the smaller ("Preemptive Strike") and larger ("Caretaker", "For the Cause", "For the Uniform") versions of the Maquis ships that have the pressing-iron bow shape could very well be courier vessels, since both have sufficient internal space. We know the Peregrine is a modified courier pilotable by a single person - the smaller ship would fit the bill, and could also carry the stasis chamber since the interior is the roomy "alien shuttle" interior familiar from TNG. We also know that an "auxiliary courier" was used for an attack in "The Maquis pt I". Chakotay's ship was nearly 40 years old, certainly enough to relegate the design to the "auxiliary" category. So I'd say that the smaller ship from "Preemptive Strike" is the one and only Peregrine class ship, while the other designs are still pending a canonical name. And all the better that way, since if several different ships were called Peregrines, that would mean less chances to apply cool new names. Things like "Falcon class" or "Eagle class" or "Sparrowhawk class" [i]must[/i] be in use somewhere in Starfleet... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
