[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Well, maybe this explains the sudden appearence of 'old' ships... in the last few years, when we didn't see them in TNG... also for their 'different' appearence. The Borg. The Borg caused it. Maybe these ships are purely combat vessels - i.e. the Akira, Sabre, Steamrunner and Norway. The appearence of the Defiant may help in explaining this... OK we might have had something like this: Cardassian Wars - the Federation starts to create war-dedicated ships. The Akira and the Steamrunner are rolled of the assembly line. End of Cardassian War outright conflict. Akira's Steamrunners and other 'dedicated to conflict' ships are retired and stored away. then... Borg encountered. Several new 'weapons' are designed after the Enterprise encounter with a Cube in System J25. The Defiant, the Sabre and the Norway are created. Borg reach the Federation and penetrate the Terran system. New ships aren't ready for deployment. Borg cube destroyed by Enterprise above earth orbit. Federation decide to finish at least two of Each of the Defiant, Sabre and Norway class ships, to at least some semblence of operation. The Federation encounter the hostility of the Dominion... the Odyssey destroyed. DS9 upgrade commenced. Defiant taken out of mothballs by Commander Sisko, and taken to DS9. Miles O'Brien brings the Defiant into working order. His notes are passed on to The Starfleet Core of Engineers, and they are ordered to begin the alterations to the remaining Defiant Class ships along with the Sabres and Norways. Norways prove to be more time consuming compared to Defiant and Sabres... Dominion War threat looming. Changelings throughout the Federation. Klingon Hostilities. The war-dedicated ships like the Akiras and Steamrunners, (along with the finishing upgrades on new Sabres, Defiants and the remaining Norways) are brought out of retirement and upgraded to current performance standards. I.e. refit of majority of systems, using Sovereign development and Defiant refitting as a blueprint. (Evidence seen during "Relativity" [VOY] First refit Akira's and Steamrunner's roll out. Looking different to when they originally appeared during the Cardassian Wars. They are ready to take on the Borg, the Dominion, the Cardassians and the Klingons. Dominion War immenent. Retired starships are purged for useful parts. New - and old designs combined to provide more numbers of ships. These ships crews take to their hybrid sisters fondly. [/QB][/QUOTE]
