[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Seriously, though. I've stubbornly clung to Matt Jeffries' notion that the registry numbers' significance was far more logical than what we ended up with -- as I said earlier. But to recap: "NCC" would be the Starfleet prefix for their Cruisers. The "17" indicated the 17th Federation cruiser design. "01" indicated the first production hull built after the prototype. We have a non-canon 16th cruiser design in the Baton Rouge, and they were more-or-less externally comparable to the TOS Enterprise as the TOS Enterprise was to the movie Enterprise -- a little smaller, a little less refined, a little lower tech. Most of the Constitution class' breakthroughs were evidently internal, and probably due in no small part to the breakthrough of Duotronics. The non-canon Horizon class was essentially a larger version of the Daedalus, with registries in the low 1000s. This is what the Constellation originally was, and I even wrote a story about Captain Decker saving his ship and crew in the face of nasty odds, getting promoted to Commodore, and using his clout to have the Constellation refit using the new Constitution prototype as a template. And then there was also the non-canon Archon class, which was a refit of the Horizon, replacing the spherical primary hull with the first large-scale saucer hull. They had registries in the 1300s, and the Republic belonged to this class. Bear in mind this is all fandom stuff, and much of it is not in keeping with the current official party line, but I like it so much better than said party line... --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
