[QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [QB] Here's a list of all the NAR ships I have on my list: SS Nenebek NAR-2066 SS Vico NAR-18834 Unknown name NAR-25820 (the shuttle from Star Trek VI) SS Raven NAR-32450 Now, the Nenebek was a small shuttle used on TNG, and she did look very old, but if NAR and NCC registries matched up, that's around the time of Excelsior in the 2290s. It is possible that the Nenebek was in use from the 2290s to the 2360s, seeing as how old and ratty she looked. Didn't her control panels also use movie era design? SS Vico, an Oberth class starship used in TNG, which we couldn't tell how old she was because she was destroyed. I believe she had TNG-era consoles all over, making it possible she was launched sometime around 2340 - 2360, or that she was merely refitted. The Sydney-style shuttle used in Star Trek VI seems to be the one that puts the whole kink in things. If NAR registries were seperate from NCC registries, then the shuttle would be launched around 2290, the Vico sometime after that, and the Nenebek's launch would be pushed back into the TOS era. But, we only saw that shuttle for a few seconds. The only way we know that shuttle is from the picture of it with the registry number clearly painted across it. Now, my theory is, that picture of the shuttle is from "Trials and Tribble-ations". The shuttle didn't have nacelles in that episode, did it? Even though the shuttle has the old UFP logo, it's possible to explain it as just an old shuttle that the Federation gave to the Temporal Authorities just as their own personal ship to go wherever they wanted and they just left the logo on it. Now, the shuttle in Star Trek VI would be labelled as SD-103, as she was called to by the dock master in flight. SD-103 is similar to how shuttles are registered on starships, as NCC-1701/7 or something along those lines. This signifies that the shuttle isn't its own indepedent vessel, that it belongs to Spacedock, and that this is shuttle #103 that belongs to Spacedock (which is what SD would stand for). Another way the registry could be read is SD-1/03, signifying that this is Spacedock 1 (the DS9 Tech Manual refers to it as Spacedock 1), and this is shuttle #3 for Spacedock 1. As for Raven, all we know is that she could come at any time after all these other ships. The only problem is, again, the computer consoles are modern (in fact, more modern then Voyager's, which is a big mistake). Therefore she must have been refit too. So, here's my thinking: 2290s - SS Nenebek NAR-2066 is launched 2293 - SD-103 or SD-1/03 transports Kirk and co. to Spacedock 2310s - USS Vico NCC-18834 is launched 2320s - NCC-25820 is launched, later given to Federation Temporal Authorities and given NAR registry 2330s - Freighter USS Raven NCC-32450 is launched 2350s - USS Vico and USS Raven both transfered to civilian status after refit, given NAR registries. Does that work, or did that make no sense whatsoever? [/QB][/QUOTE]
