[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I in turn think that the Daedali [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] preceded the founding of Starfleet, and were already built by Earthfleet for use in the Romulan War. This would give some more breathing room - the ships are known to be operating far away from Earth very soon after the founding of Starfleet. (Also, I'd like to equate them with the so-called Horizon class of FASA RPG fame, since this class supposedly included the TOS-references USS Horizon and USS Archon that now belong to Daedalus class. The timelines would work out *very* nicely. This would also leave the name "Horizon class" free for another RPG ship class, namely the one which served as the basis of the Constitution class... But this is all strictly noncanon stuff, of course.) The Daedali probably didn't see much military action before the war ended, but one thing is for sure: the first task of Starfleet would have been to field heavily armed warships. A major war had just ended indecisively, with the enemy lurking behind a Neutral Zone. Exploration would be a secondary goal in that situation. Since we don't see much weapons on the Daedali, there are two main possibilities: 1)They are hidden very well. Not impossible - the weapons of the TOS Enterprise were also very well hidden. 2)There aren't any weapons, making the Daedali second-rate ships. They would be unsuited for Starfleet's primary mission of patrolling the RNZ, so they'd be sent out to perform the secondary mission, exploration. Of course, the silence of the Romulan front and the successes of the Daedali would soon make Starfleet switch its priorities. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
