[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Well, "Erewhon" is the name of an utopian society from the writings of some 19th century or earlier author whose name I completely forget. And yes, it's "Ere[b]wh[/b]on", not "Ere[b]hw[/b]on", even though obviously it is supposed to be "Nowhere" backwards. I'll check back on the writer ASAP - I just stumbled upon the book cover back in the bookstore, and didn't pay all that much attention. The name was English, though, and I think the surname was a "first name" like George or something. As I said, I'll get back to this. And the Santa Maria had a distinct hull shape, of which we could glimpse a side door and its immediate surroundings. That hull shape does not match the Sydney design. Nor does it fit the Raven design. And no, it isn't simply the Runabout side door reused. It does match a set of unused matte painting concepts (see the book "The Making of DS9") that describe the Erewhon as a squat single-or at most two-deck design with hind legs spread like those of a lizard. Wider than the Raven, but not as high, and it lacks visible warp nacelles so probably is of inferior warp performance. On the registry of the Raven: I do not think the NAR numbers run concurrently with the NCC numbers. After all, the NAR number of the shuttle we saw in STVI (the one that later was modified into the Sydney class transport for "Relics") was in the 20000 range at a time when the highest NCC numbers were in four digits. There's a MSD cutout of the Raven floating around in the net. The ship seems to have four decks and a big aft shuttlebay (the doors of which are either missing, or then are really huge wraparound things that extend all across the stern and to the sides). And just like all the recent ships from Prometheus to Nova to Defiant, this one seems to have landing legs. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
